Scrambling around trying to get everything together before I leave for two weeks. Heading up north to hang out with my sister and her kids at my mom's house. Looking forward to jumping into the big lake and relaxing with the fam. My nephews leave for hockey camp in Minnesota after the first week, so we'll have some nice quiet time after they're ( Read more... )

Got the caulk problem mostly resolved. Cleaned up the residue and then got dressed and drove to the hardware store for last minute supplies. Stopped at McD's for a frozen coffee treat. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Then I got home and had a major lactose colon 'splosion. Still nursing a stomach ache. Serves me right for drinking that crap ( Read more... )

It's cold, rainy, and I woke up with a headache that has stuck with me all day. I need to go to the hardware store to buy Draino. And I need to pee.

That is all....

No time to write anything now. So here, have a baby otter instead...

Gorgeous sunny morning. Low 70's with a gusty wind that spells afternoon thunderstorm. The boys went for a bike ride so I could sit here with a heat pack on my neck and a belly full of coffee and ibuprofen. Hormonal migraine....be gone ( Read more... )

Josh doesn't work on Fridays so I got a "Dad Pass" to go to the movies by myself tomorrow afternoon. That's the only way I'm going to get to see "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" while its still in the theater here.

Tapas was good. Location was kinda lame...in a half-dead strip mall in the 'burbs. And the dining room was really huge and had no artwork on the walls aside from a taxidermied bull's head in the bar area. Not much for ambiance (and they seriously needed to turn down that Gypsy King's CD...oy!). But the sangria was cheap and the food was mostly ( Read more... )

So, I think Date Night is gonna be tapas. Couldn't come up with anything more original than that. Oh well ( Read more... )

Josh just finished the Crazylegs run in 38 minutes. Oscar and I stayed home because of the rain....and because the Kid hasn't pooped in four days and he's been doing a LOT of grunting and whining this morning. Don't want to deal with a giant turd in a public place, if I can help it. Yep. I'm letting someone else's bowel movements control my social ( Read more... )
