Another weekend ends, and I have a sad. It means I have to go back to work tomorrow, which is never fun anymore. Also, thanks for actually paying attention to one of the talking head shows I realized that I'd better draw down the funds tomorrow for the loan we're closing at the end of the week because the stupid fucking politicians may shut down ( Read more... )

Why does the weekend go so darned fast! Saturday was a beautiful day. Warm and sunshiny. Yesterday we had a short storm. And thereby hangs a tale ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I got to watch the new The Amazing Race Australia, and, lo, it was fun. The host is no Phil or even Allen Wu, unfortunately, but maybe he'll grow on me. The teams are pretty much cut from the American version template with pretty Alpha male team, Barbie team, dating couple that may be the bickerers, married teams, brother/sister & ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a pleasant Spring holiday/religious observation/break of their choice. I went with my cousin to my brother's for Easter dinner, which was really nice. I'm definitely glad April is coming to a close though as I've been on Altar Guild duty during one of the busiest times of the Christian calendar. On top of the regular changing ( Read more... )

9:15 pm, and I think I'm ready to head up to bed. Last night was one of those nights when I just kept waking up, and then I had to be at church early so I got up before seven so I could relax with my coffee before getting ready.

The new season of The Amazing Race has started!!!!! Yay! :-D

I didn't cross-post my last couple of entries, so this one will be.

As I posted on LJ here (warning: spoilers), I went to see the new Star Trek movie yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. Funny thing though, (and this is all non-spoilery), as I left the theater, I thought, "I liked that, but I don't particularly want to see it again, and I doubt I' ( Read more... )

( spoilers )

I'd complain about the weather, but after seeing all the news reports from the Fargo area, yeah, I'm keeping my complaining yap shut.

Yesterday, I had another successful crock pot cooking day. I fixed Crock Pot Beef N Beer Brisket. The only deviation I made in the recipe is I also threw in the spice packet that came with the brisket. I've never ( Read more... )

Oddly enough, this season, we've already lost the two couples that I found the most irritating, and the second couple wasn't really that bad. Even the two female teams I thought would drive me crazy are working out to be pretty good teams, and not the jerks I thought they'd be ( Read more... )
