Good Sunday Morning

Yesterday was a big sports day.    Rangers (DH's team),  Yankees vs Red Sox (also DH's team), the Derby and of course, the fight.

We went to a party to see the derby and then the fight.    I have to say the fight was a complete waste of an hour of my life.   


Right now I'm hanging out on the sofa watching CBS Sunday Morning (Sunday morning ritual) and DH is making pancakes.   

Have a good Sunday.


Small vent - we have lived her for over a year.  How the fuck does DH not remember where shit lives?   He just looked at every cabinet looking for the griddler plates.  Dude, they have ALWAYS been in the same location.     I swear he thinks I move them around or something.  Silly boy.

  • Hahaha I wonder the same thing about H every time he puts the measuring spoons in the cabinet. No dude, they go in the drawer.

    I'm hungry. Will YH make me some pancakes?

  • I would say I'm jealous of your pancakes, but FI's working this morning so I got biscuits and gravy for breakfast.

    We had a distinctly unsportsy day yesterday. We went to a music shop to find out about fixing FI's amp head, and we got him strings for his guitars and got me four dollars worth of neat guitar picks. Then we saw the new Avengers movie and I bawled because I get attached to people and I was TERRIFIED for one character the whole movie essentially. No spoilers. And then we went to get my e-ring's semi-annual inspection out of the way and the lady that sold FI my e-ring two hours south was working at the store here and remembered him and my ring. So, obviously, it was predetermined that we should buy bands too (and they had a really good sale). And then I bought supplies to make earrings out of the guitar picks.

    Today is set for cleaning and laundry. And weeding and grass mowing. Wee!

  • I was in airports or on planes all day yesterday. Landed just in time to see one friend blow up my FB about the fight. Meh.

    Finally got home around 1:30 but stayed up eating and chatting about my trip with FI till 3:30, so now I'm in bed snuggling with my puppy till we feel like getting up. Later we'll hit the food fair I think.

    Come on over.

    They were tasty.  He make crispy bacon for me too.  I only eat crispy bacon.  

    I really need to clean today. Let's see what I actually accomplish.

    DH is off to see how his new kitchen is coming along.   They started the equipment install on Friday.    It's looking so nice, pretty and shiny. Stainless steel everything. Even the walls.    DH is just so excited.  Like a kid on Christmas morning.

  • I worked some extra hours yesterday and today we go see The Avengers in 3D.  After that we have some gift cards to Outback we need to use and then back home.  I have been in Saturday mode all day since I worked  yesterday.  When I wake up tomorrow and it isn't Sunday I foresee a tremendous crisis coming.  Oh, and I am eating my last sleeve of Thin Mints before we leave.

    Yesterday we didn't do anything sports related.  I sat on the couch and enjoyed my first weekend with no homework.  FI was at work. 

    Today I'll go to the grocery store, and maybe fold some clean clothes. 

    The pancakes do sound delicious and now i'm wondering if making pancakes when I'm the only person here will be a waste.

  • I cleaned the patio yesterday, which means today I'm probably not going to do anything.


    Well, I thin it's time to replace the hummingbird nectar. I'll do that.

  • With the weather being so nice the last few weeks my house and wallet have taken hits.  I forced myself to do dishes and laundry this morning.  It was brutal.

    Yesterday I went yard saleing.  My dad is looking for men's neck ties to make a quilt and I happened on a jackpot.  Ended up getting 48 for $20.  I'm going to roll them up nice and put them in a box and give them to him for Father's Day.

    Came home and stained the underside of the new picnic table I got last weekend.  Topside will be today.

    I finally finished my garden plans for what I'm going to do with the neighbor's side bed.  Colorcoded too!  Green means spring, orange summer and red summer/fall.  I have to start the seeds tonight because it's getting pretty late.  I might as well just plant them outside directly.

    Off to Lowe's and Joann's.  Then back home to finish the table, start prepping the deck to be power washed and painted, and then more housework.

  • Recovering from yesterday's party.  It was a great time... had 30+ people here at one point.  So much food, so much alcohol.  So much left over food and alcohol.  FI is texting people who couldn't make it yesterday to help us eat and drink the left overs.

    A minor rant, we live in a brand new still under construction area, so naturally there is often construction noise.  But this morning, our neighbor decided to start working on his backyard landscaping.... AT 7AM.  ON A SUNDAY. AFTER WE HAD A PARTY.  There's was a giant frontloader tractor out there digging stuff up first, and now someone's out there with a bobcat.  Every time they back up "beep beep beep".  I wish I could go get mad but these are the same neighbors who had their little girls drop off "may day" gift bags on Friday night, so I can't get mad.

  • I'm at the Mets game. Not a fan (go yanks!) but my dad and SM are. Yesterday was a flurry of WR activity and time with ILs. Tonight I need to clean my house and do a few hours of work. I haven't eaten yet today and I want pancakes now. Beer will have to do for now.

  • Haha, my husband is the same way with not knowing where things belong even after months and years of them having an established "home." He also complains that he can't find his things that he moved. From now on, if I find something that he swears he can't find, he owes me baubles.

    Raspberry pancakes are my favorite. Mmm. 

    @chibiyui, do you actually get hummingbirds? Jealous!

    @paperpusher, that garden is going to be fabulous and I love your color coding. What's the actual plot size? Is it raised or have some kind of brick/stone border? Just wondering because of how rectangular.

    Today I fixed up my bike, went for my first bike ride of the year, and finished making the homemade portion of a wedding shower gift. This evening we'll see SIL who is in from the west coast to do wedding-y stuff. :) 

    Then happy I, that love and am beloved

  • @levieenrose I do! I love them so much. Right now I've only seen males (and I only get Ruby Throated) but the ladies should be coming soon! I swear I'm going to take a day and just sit outside with my DSLR and try to get as many pictures as I can of them.

  • @levieenrose I'm not sure the exact length, but it is 4 feet wide and maybe 40 feet long?  It runs the entire length of the side of the neighbor's house with a little more at the top.  The one side has the house and the other has raised cement stones separating it from the driveway.

    I wish I had had this forethought when I did my garden!  Mine is currently mostly tulips.  Another one of my goals this year is to plant some summer and fall blooming things in between to help hide that they die half way through the summer.
