"Something" Saturday

Sidebar: Why do you have names for Holy (or Maundy if you’re English), Good Friday and Easter, but none for Saturday? Is it like “Waiting around Saturday” or something?

Anyway, I digress. I woke up on Saturday around 5:00 a.m. I went downstairs, fixed a cup of coffee and read on the couch until my hosts started stirring. I ate a cold piece of pizza for breakfast while I waited.

Around 9:30 a.m., Jake and I went shopping. He needed dog food and I wanted a full helmet for the motorcycle. The half-helmet I had sounded good, but never quite felt “right.” It made me feel top-heavy or something.

Now, had I gone for one back home, I’d have to go to bike shops and it would have cost me $200- $30.00. But, Jake has a bike accessory store near him.

So, we went there and after some trial and error, I got a great one that was on sale for $63.00!

Back home, Jake went and cut the grass. I volunteered to trim the back (he already had the front done) so I did.

For dinner, we had brats topped with cold sauerkraut, a variety of mustards, oven-fried shoestring potatoes and cottage cheese.

I was the only one who went with a bun. They cut their brats and topped them on the plate.

I went to take a bite out of my brat and it flipped up, hitting me in the face! I ended up with yellow mustard in my mustache and up my nose.

I managed to wash the mustard out of my facial hair, but the mustard up my nose was persistent!!!

Sidebar: Forget Nasonex! If you really want to clear your nasal passages, just squirt yellow mustard up your nose. Whew!!!

We finished watching  “The Book Thief.”  It was depressing, but what else would you expect from a movie set in Germany during World War II?

We watched two comedy specials (both hilarious, but I forget the two comedians names) and then went to bed.
