Figured I would get an update in while watching the Bills game since everyone else is upstairs working on putting the new shower in.
Last Monday Gene & I had brunch with my parents, and I saw an episode of the Twilight Zone that I had never seen before called "The Hunt" which was about an old man and his dog that passed away, and his dog went with him to Heaven, after almost being tricked by the Devil on the way. House was late due to a programming delay but I am not sure if I am liking this season so far anyways. It was a weird episode .. Foreman is Dean of Medicine now, no Cuddy, no team, just an Asian girl. So weird to have him back at the hospital, especially with his own office, since he just got out of jail. How is that possible ?? Feels so weird, Wilson didn't want to be friends, but hopefully the end of the episode showed that there are better things to come there with their relationship. Idk.
Tuesday I went for a run and then worked out even though my abs & obliques were still killing me from previous workouts. Was angry because New Girl has been pushed back until November !!! ):
Wednesday I caught some of that Halloween Wars show on the Food Network and was really impressed by some of the creations on that show (the big bad wolf and the sleeping beauty especially !!) Set the DVR to record Psych's season premiere and then watched the new episode of American Horror Story which was quite weird. Still not sure how I feel about this show either, but it is something different, that's for sure. Want to get into the Walking Dead. Need to watch the last season, new season starts today.
Thursday I watched more How I Met Your Mother on my lunch break. It sucks cuz I watch it pretty much everyday but always miss the last few minutes in order to get back to work on time so I never know what happens in the end, lol. Maybe I will see if my sister will let me borrow her boxed sets for a marathon !! I like Jason Segel. We won all three of our games at volleyball though it is becoming increasingly more difficult to enjoy playing with Jeff and I think he hinders my performance. Oh well. Hopefully I can manage to always set up next to Gene because he brings out the best in me (despite any arguments during the game) plus he can hit all my sets, and I feel more confident near him. After our game, we met up with Meagan & Jack to watch Dad's hockey game, and got Subway, and dropped Gene's car off at the shop. He borrowed Dad's van.
Friday, I made candy corn shaped/colored rice krispie treats !! It was kind of messy to make, lol. Dad and Meagan LOVED them but Gene had me feeling self conscious about them because he hated them, lol. He even told me not to bring them to Drew & Jen like I had originally planned. I bought stuff to make cake batter ones too so maybe I will make those and share with friends. Mom bought us all dinner from Mama Rosa's. Dad & I had a fish fry (DELICIOUS) and Gene had the sea bass, which I tried and it was quite tasty. Something new for us to try. Watched the Sabres game though it was very disappointing because we lost in the last minutes to the Hurricanes, ugh. Gene worked on the shower til late which was putting me to sleep. I slept over his house so I could get a shower in the morning, and fell asleep almost immediately.
Woke up Saturday/yesterday morning to a very cuddly Eugene (; which was nice. :D Then he took me out to brunch at Perkins, for Sweetest Day, and we had these AWESOME biscuit bakes. Mine was sausage, egg, and cheese, with gravy and breakfast potatoes, and a cup of fruit. Gene got a spinach, bacon, tomato one and then a side of three french toasts, lol. It was nice. (: Not overly filling. We found out they no longer do military discounts though unless you are in uniform so that kind of discouraged us. Then of course we came back so they could work on the shower. Uncle Mark came by to help. So during this time, I started cooking dinner for family dinner night. It was Gene's turn to cook but obviously he was a little busy, and his only request was that I make a chicken dish, so I turned to Pinterest and found a chicken crescent roll casserole I had wanted to try that looked pretty simple. Went to the store with Mom to get the ingredients and then the cooking commenced. We had to have the dinner night at Mom & Dad's house because Gene & Dad worked right up until dinner time, and then went back to work after dinner. Meagan brought these yummy Oreo bars for dessert, mmm. The chicken casserole turned out pretty good too, everyone had seconds, and thirds, lol. Good thing I doubled the recipe !! d: We had veggies as a side. Really had wanted to run the past two days but the weather has sucked and we have been so busy with the shower stuff. So after dinner, I started to get really sleepy, but watched the Sabres beat the Penguins anyways (: then Jim Neiss stopped by which was nice. Always a fun time. OH and talked to Chrissy for a few minutes on the phone last night ! She flew into WNY today !! YAY !! Two weeks here, so I should be able to get some BFF time in !!
Slept over Gene's house again last night. Miss cuddling with him. So comfy. (: Slept in a little bit and then got a shower in again just in case I can't shower tomorrow. Not sure if they will finish up tonight or not, or if I will like this new steam shower. Got some Tim Ho's on the way home, and then Mom brought us Wendy's for lunch. Dad & Gene are working on the shower again, and I am watching the Bills game. It is tied 7-7 right now. I hope we win, we are a good team this year ! Fred Jackson is awesome. So excited to not suck haha. Both of our teams are doing pretty well right now. I am also excited because of the coupons in today's paper, haha. I'm a dork. Buy turkey at Tops and get potatoes, stuffing, veggies, cake mix, and drinks FREE. WOO !! We desperately need to do some grocery shopping. There is a lot I want to get done. ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN !!!! WOOO !!! Okay .. back to what I was saying haha. Need to get some shoes like ASAP. My trusty pair I usually wear to work are shot (they were cheap I guess) and I still am looking for a good ankle boot. Also need to buy some more cold weather gear since it is getting to that time. But I am loving it lately, the Fall look outside. Need to do pumpkins soon and horror movies if Gene is not too burnt out from constant home repairs/work/etc. Lisa wants us to do haunted houses with her and Steve so that could be fun. I want to see some other friends soon too and want to buy more scarves from Nas. I really need to start wearing them more, and my new cardigans, and find an excuse to wear my new shoes/dresses. :D AND SO EXCITED NEW DEXTER BOOK ON TUESDAY !!!!!! CAN'T WAIT !!! PERFECT OCTOBER READING MATERIAL !!!!! Gotta place an Amazon order ASAP. Maybe paint my nails today too ??
Anyways I'm going to get going because it is very uncomfortable typing all of this with Beef's MASSIVE HEAD asleep on top of me. Going to watch the Bills kick some BUTT (feels good to say that hahaha) Hopefully update soon, since much more to say. Or at least it always feels that way.
