Crazy Out There

Hubby and I headed out to grab dinner tonight, and I swear it was crazy out there.  I know places are going to be semi packed out around here on a Friday night around dinner time, but this just wasn’t normal.  It was 8pm on a Friday night, and even the parking lots of the fast food joints were overflowing…even Burger King which is normally absolutely dead.

I don’t know what was up, but some kind of event must have been going on somewhere.  It doesn’t even get that way on opening game day at Clemson.  I had really wanted food from a specific restaurant, but we gave up on trying to get in there.

We rode through town and eventually decided to just leave town and hit up Paw’s Diner, one of our little local hole in the wall places full of really good food, great prices, and friendly people.  I’m so glad we decided to eat there because I always forget how good the food there really is.

It’s one of those local places where you walk in the door and the waitress knows what you want to drink before you even find a table.  I ordered the $5 hamburger steak plate which is so large I can barely eat half of it at once.  I didn’t even touch my mac & cheese or my fried okra.  I’ve got a full plate left that will be great for lunch tomorrow.

We were going to go shopping after we ate, but that just wasn’t happening.  Lately my energy let has plummetted to 0 in the evenings, so I just did not have the energy to do so.  We swung into CVS for a few must have things, stopped by Hubby’s parent’s house, and headed home.

I do have to go shopping again tomorrow for another gift for another baby shower, so I’ll look at the luxury watch I want to get Hubby then. He really needs a new watch because I’m tired of him breaking all the cheap crappy ones my Grandma buys him. He has a really nice watch he got years ago, but the glass is cracked on it making it useless since you can’t read it. I may have to see how much it would cost me to get that one fixed if I can’t afford to buy him the one I want to get him.

Now I have to go get our tax stuff together. I’ve got most of it ready, but I have a few things I need to print out. We’ve finally got an appointment first thing in the morning to get them done, so now I get to find out how much we owe Uncle Sam. Don’t ya know I’m just so excited to find that out?

He Liked It

Man I had so much fun last night.  We stopped by K & C’s last night to hang out for a few minutes.  What began as a we’ll just stopped by turned into a 3 hour Wii tournament.  I’ve been trying my best to convince Hubby that we need a Nintendo Wii, but he’s a Playstation kind of guy.  He has sworn up and down that the Wii doesn’t look like fun to him at all, and there’s no use spending money on something he won’t play until he has his PS3.

All it took was a few minutes playing last night to convince him otherwise, and now he’s ready to get a Wii. I knew he’d like it if he gave it a try, but he’s stubborn and needed to actually play it to like it.  He liked it so much we’re going back over there tonight to play after we swing by the store to pick up Bubba’s pet supplements.  I kicked butt in tennis, and he vowed he won’t play that with me again, but he does awesome at most of the shooter games.  Then again shooting and racing are his thing.

I just hope we can drag ourselves away from it a little sooner tonight.  We didn’t get home until after midnight last night, and it really through me off.  I had so much to do when we got home I didn’t get to bed until 4am, and I’ve been dragging all day.

It’s So Pretty

Today could not be a more beautiful day!  It’s already 74 degrees at 11am, and we could even hit 80 today.  You know that means I’m not going to be sitting inside on the pc all day.  I’ve got to get outside to enjoy this weather while it lasts because Thursday it’s supposed to get cold and rainy again.

I do have some things I do have to do inside this morning, though.  I’m trying to rush through my work.  Then I have to clean out my email, and that’s going to be rough.  I haven’t checked it all weekend, so I’m sure I have a good 2,000 emails piled up due to the various groups I’m a member of.

Of course I’ll also get a little sidetracked checking out all the sales emails for 50% off or wholesale lingerie, then there’s no telling how much junk mail I’ll have to go through. I’m trying to be a good girl who takes the time to remove myself from the junk mailing lists instead of just spamming the mail. Hopefully I can say I’ll be outside by 1pm, but I better get my butt in gear if I want to do that.

Starting The Day

As usual I didn’t do half the stuff I wanted to do yesterday, so let’s just make today’s list a little bigger.  I really hadn’t planned to do very much today because I wanted to spend plenty of time outside, maybe on the bike, but I just don’t feel so hot today.  I made the mistake of not taking any allergy meds last night before I decided sleeping with the windows open would be a great idea.  It would have been if I’d taken my meds.

Hubby just left to get us some breakfast, so after a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and an allergy pill I hope I start feeling better.  Then I’m going to lock the pets out of the bedroom and open up all windows in the bedroom and bathroom so I can clean out that nasty tub.  I’m hoping I can do it all at once, but the bleach smell could give me problems.  Chemical cleaners, especially those with a strong bleach smell usually give me a headache even if I’m wearing a mask.  I may start by spraying it on and letting it sit while I leave the room.  Then it shouldn’t be so bad if I have to do some scrubbing.

After I’m done with all that I’m hoping I can knock my grocery store trip out early today.  It seems like if we hit up the grocery store later on Sunday evening it’s always packed with the after church crowd stopping for groceries before heading home, and I hate dealing with a packed out store.  I end up forgetting to pick up half the stuff I need, and then I’m pissed when I have to keep making trips to the store to pick up something I forgot.

I also need to find a local store that sells self defense products because I was cleaning out my purse yesterday and realized my pepper spray is way past it’s expiration date. I’ve never actually bought the stuff for myself (my Dad used to bring it home from work for us girls), so I need to find out where to buy it.

I just heard Hubby pull up, so it’s time to go eat some breakfast!
