Whatca doing?

I just cooked myself a filet and mashed potatoes.   It's pretty damn good if I say so myself.


What are you doing?

  • Just got home from having drinks with a former coworker. FI is camping this weekend so I'm watching his giant dog. My dog is not happy about it.

    @winstonsgirl and @lyndausvi where are you going on vacation? Tell us all about it. I need something to daydream about...

  • FH just treated himself to some new stuff, including a bass and a new amp. So I'm just lurking TK, about to start playing Evil Apples, and trying to decide if I want to go out to a bar or not. The students aren't here for spring break which means my town isn't completely crawling with douchebags.

    Chilling on the couch watching sports with DH ~ Draft Day (movie), then soccer, now basketball...had the Crew won it would be a damn near perfect night :love:
    :kiss: ~xoxo~ :kiss:

  • We are having a lazy day... I didn't get up until almost noon, then we went to a home show and signed up for a timeshare demo, then came home and cooked turkey for dinner.

    Now we're back in bed watching Big Love while FI bugs me to have sex bc I think I'm ovulating.

  • Just left Dave & Busters. On the ride home with friends. I'm usually not a fan of arcades but it was fun! And since we're sharing pet pics...my little dumbass earlier got into some dust or something and looked like she went to ash Wednesday.

    @winstonsgirl and @lyndausvi where are you going on vacation? Tell us all about it. I need something to daydream about...

    I can't say this vacation is as exciting as the fall one. 

     We are just going to the Philly area for a few days to see my family.  We hope to go to Hersheypark, but the weather might not cooperate.    My Mac is having issues so we will go to the Apple Store in Delaware - woohoo.    See family.   Maybe hit up the Mushroom museum.  DH might golf (depending on weather).  Maybe hit up Philly.  

      We are staying with my sister.   But unfortunately my nephew just had a 5+ hour surgery yesterday and needs a week to recover.  My BIL has some melanoma and on Monday they are cutting out more skin around where it was found.  He has to recover too.   

    Both things were found out AFTER we decided to visit them.   We offered to stay somewhere else but my sister will not have it.   Her house is huge and there are plenty of space, bathrooms and stuff.    I see her point of us staying with her.   It's easier to visit when we stay together.  DH can sleep in while sister and I hangout in the kitchen.   

    Easter Sunday we go up to NY to be with DH's side of the family.   I think Monday is just us hanging out with the siblings.   Not sure about the other days.    Then we fly home.

    Now a week later we are going to Moab for a long weekend.  We are borrowing a co-workers RV.  Taking the dogs.  It should be fun.

    This is DH's last weekend of work until mid-May.  And that is assuming the kitchen will be finished by then.  He will spend a few hours each week making menus and getting his staff in place for the summer.   But for the most part he is not working.    We are taking advantage of him having time off before summer comes and he will not get any time off.    Bonus is his salary.  So even though he is not working a lot he still get's paid the same.

  • I was half asleep but that KY game woke me up. Damn that was intense
  • We're off to Florida, finally.  I'm so freaking excited to get out of the cold and snow and to feel the sun on my skin again!!  Even though it's finally getting nicer here, it's not hot enough yet.  Suck it winter!!

  • My In-laws are in town (along with one of my SIL and her two kids) to see the baby. It's nice to see them, but exhausting. Luckily they are staying in a hotel and only visiting for three days. Very pleased to discover that my nephew, who is a bit of a problem child, loves babies and is very good with them, so he is on his best behavior.
  • Finishing FI's quick education in Harry Potter with the last movie! So many plot holes, nearly all of which could have been plugged with just a little more attention paid to some of the larger details in the books. Like, I get leaving out some of the things that relate to plot points within each book, but God BLESS there are overaching plot points I'm having to explain, because they include the later parts without explaining how the earlier parts happened.

    About to play a game of Yahtzee... um, that's right.... Yahtzee.
  • Sitting in the bedroom knotting because H is napping on the couch.  He worked crazy late last night.  I'm hoping the weather gets nicer so we can take a drive. 
  • Listening to my darling H yell things like "GET THE GODDAMN REBOUND MOTHERFUCKER!" at the TV. He's flipping between multiple different sports and a Stallone movie. I'm perusing Pinterest for home decor ideas.

  • Spinning and brunch earlier with @lacqueredlover and @onefootinthebayou! Super fun. Now we're at Palm Sunday dinner with Fi's family and I'm drinking a homemade cappuccino. Yum. Those adorable cat and dog pics are making me miss my kitties!

  • Well it's a new night.    

     I'm watching Food Paradise on fried foods.   I will never understand fried butter.

  • Fi and I are watching Burn Notice with wine and Chinese food. 
  • At work. It was really crazy earlier with the Front Desk backed up and not having rooms ready past 4pm (time it should be ready by) so of course I, the person who is farthest form the Front Desk, is the person at fault and should be yelled at.

    I only spoke to one person since 2pm that actually had to do with my job so far and have another 1 hour and 45 minutes to go, and it's quiet now. I have nothing to do.

    I'm starving. I think I might break down and get a snickers out of the vending machine.

  • I convinced DH to get takeout and made sweet potato puree for Chiquto. He let me give him a spoonful and then screamed bloody murder like the vegetable was trying to hurt him.
