Catching up...

Hmmm... where were we?

Friday night, Jake and Carla stopped over after work. We decided to buy a couple of pizzas (one traditional hand-tossed crust with pepperoni, mushrooms and mild peppers, my favorite, and the other a thin crust Hawaiian, with ham and pineapples, their favorite) served with leftover German, Sam Adams and Labatts beer.

We visited and caught each other up on what was going on. It sounds strange, but now, not working 30 feet from Jake, is very weird. We do have the telephone, email and even IM, (I'll explain IM offline, Mom, lol) but it is NOT the same...

They left around 8:00 PM and I watched a very, very lame "Emeril Live" with special guest Paula Deen. Then I watched Friday night boxing on ESPN, went to sleep for a while, woke up, wandered around sat on the porch, read a bit, did a post, and finally fell asleep again.

Got up this (Saturday) morning, made a light breakfast (scrambled eggs and chives with sourdough toast - have to watch my girlish figure, ya know), shaved and showered, then started running errands. Ordered some black and brass nameplates for Jyl's wood boxes at Little Bill's Trophy shop, picked up some more of those small wine bottles (for cooking) at Westborn Market, stopped into Famous Footware to see if they had any slippers (they didn't), went to Home Depot and got 6 bags of peat mixed with composted manure (need to top-dress the front garden) and more Miracle Grow fertilizer, then went to Farmer Jacks to grocery shop.

Then stopped at the quarter car wash and washed the car, while leaving it running (so the air conditioner would keep my meat cool - there's a joke in there, but I am far too sophisticated to stoop to that level).

Got home, left the car running (meat, again) while I dried it off. Then unpacked the groceries and "stuff." Started a load of laundry, changed into shorts and a tee shirt (it's 88 degrees F. right now). Thought I'd catch you up, before venturing outside...
