We did - we went to Jethro’s, which is a local BBQ place in Solomons that serves breakfast on weekends. It was pretty good. Then we went to the boat for a measurement before coming home.
We’ve made our trash/recycling run, and when we got home, I decided to make rice krispie squares, but before I could start, the phone rang. My baby was calling, and she sounded like she was going to cry. She’s not feeling well and she hates her job and they gave her grief when she called in sick today. So she wanted some sympathy and stuff. I talked to her for a while, then she talked to her dad. She started sounding more cheery, so I guess we got her over the bump.
She’s going to give notice at Steak-n-Shake and apply for a cashier job or something not involving food service. Guess it’s a good thing I’d already decided to raise her allowance - not a lot, but it was a little help for her. She’s also going to audition at Universal (where her fiance works) because she’d love to work there in costume. We shall see.
The krispie squares are made and in the fridge. In a few minutes, I’m gonna get into grubbies and head down to my studio to play in clay for a while.
It’s starting to sprinkle here. I just took Bernie out for her afternoon pee and poo, and I felt a few droplets. We were promised 80% chance of showers - doggone fibbin’ weather-guessers!
I spent a few hours frolicking with clay - I threw several pieces, including a couple of big bowls - I’m so happy I’m having success with bigger things! Plus my coffee mugs are getting a bit larger, which is good. Apparently, I’ve learned stuff in class. Yay.
Pizza for supper - **FCD ** is going to fetch it since he’s got to pick up his meds. While he’s gone, I’ll feed the critters. And we’ll veg for the rest of the night. Yet another too-short weekend comes to an end. <insert deep sad sigh here>
How can it be after 7 p.m. on a Sunday already? Wasn’t it just 9:00 a.m.?
Glad you cheered the kid up, FCM. Good thing she’s quitting; unless she’s always pleading illness (which, since she’s your daughter I sincerely doubt), I can’t understand why they would give her a hard time.
What? You don’t prefer the pound cake to the chips and guac, MBG? I’m deeply disappointed.
I’ve seen *Pirates * twice now and decided I didn’t actually much like it. There were parts that were OK, but overall, I don’t have a burning need to see it again. I liked the first one much better.
Did quite a bit today. After mass we went out to brunch at a very very nice restaurant. We normally go someplace casual, but one person in the brunch bunch really wanted to go here and I hadn’t been in ages. I had shrimp and lobster bisque - yum. And then a leek and goat cheese quiche and a salad. Also delish. It was a dinner-sized price, but it was definitely worth it. Also, it’s pretty much been the meal for the day. I’m going to have a couple of figs and not sure what else in a bit (yogurt, maybe?).
Then a friend and I worked in the church garden, which needed some cleaning up, and then I came home and worked in my own garden.
Went for a walk afterwards and then cleaned up and am now lounging in my jammies. Highly pleasant day, I have to admit.
I should probably do some more laundry and clean up a bit, but I’ll probably just lounge and make some progress on our book club book since we meet this week.
Off to laze around. (That sounds awfully active; imagine me floating leisurely toward the kitchen.)
I got the new MMP done, I’ll post it sometime after midnight, so it will be a proper Monday post. I’ve done nothing productive today, except watch football and hockey.
Taters, cake is good, it’s just not football food.
See, Valet of Canine-ness, this is a ‘thing’ the Wife and a couple of the neighbors started, getting together at one of our houses for away Bears games. Good idea in theory - in practice today it just left me frustrated.
The TV was up loud, and the (ahem) women were all talking about candle parties and bunco, at THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS to be heard over the TV and the screaming kids and if you wanted to watch the ball game, it was pretty frustrating.
If you wanted to slug beer and eat junk food, it was ok though. On the other hand, the Kid’s car is going into the shop tomorrow, so I’m going to drive her to school (35 minutes away) later tonight. This ruled out me having too much to drink, so I sat there fuming silently.
As soon as the game was over, I came home, cut the grass, and did some work-work. Then I called the esteemed What Exit, who’s in town for a few days (as i say nyah nyah to rigs.…) to talk about getting together Tuesday.
I was planing to go back and retrieve the Wife, but she came back herself, pretty moderately affected by her staying and “sipping” beer while I was gone. :rolleyes:
Now I wait around for the Kid to finish watching her show so I can leave and take her to school.
I have a friend who does something similar (I think her husband has hearing loss altho he won’t admit to it) - she’ll invite me over to watch a movie, then talk through the entire thing. It’s very annoying.
Here’s how it went down. He’d told me that I was the first woman he’d dated since his divorce. Turns out he was lying. The first one had hemmed and hawed a bit about whether she wanted to date him exclusively, and they both decided to date others while she figured it out. Well, she decided that yes, she wanted to date him exclusively, on Friday. He didn’t tell me till the end of our date on Saturday because, he said, he felt that canceling on such short notice was rude.
:rolleyes:
Apparently all the tears and such were real. He misses his ex and would love to get her back, but on his terms (which he didn’t specify). Whenever he thinks of her, it still makes him sad. But he feels “strongly pulled” toward this other woman. OK, fine by me. But don’t LIE to me about it.
