We dialed it back considerably this weekend. \u00a0We went from a packed schedule last weekend to total homebodies the last few days. \u00a0I’m still obligated to recap it though I guess; \u00a0Not like it will take long. \u00a0Friday evening, we did a whole lot of nothing. \u00a0It was too cold to sit on the patio at the Brooksider, and I don’t really care for sitting inside, so it was “movie night” at home. \u00a0I can’t really recall what I watched, and I’m sure whatever it was wouldn’t be worth reviewing.<\/p>\n
Saturday wasn’t a whole lot more interesting either. \u00a0I did take the dog out for a little playtime, to take advantage of the nice weather. \u00a0She needed the exercise too, she has been something of a handful lately. \u00a0Having worn her out sufficiently, I was able to lay on the couch and watch football in relative peace for the rest of the day. \u00a0This lazy activity was followed by more bad movies.<\/p>\n
Sunday we decided to get at least a bit of exercise ourselves. \u00a0While Donette headed out to run a few miles, I took Teagan out to play ball again for an hour or so. \u00a0After that, Donette headed out to see a movie with the girls, and I took a nice 17 mile spin on my bike. \u00a0Nice and windy<\/strong> spin, I might add. \u00a0While definitely a bit breezy, you can’t hardly pass up 60 degree weather in January; \u00a0I figured I had better take advantage of it while it lasts. \u00a0Then for the evening, more movies. \u00a0I actually sort of liked both my selections last night, a rarity for Netflix. \u00a0First was “Texas Rangers<\/a>,” which was entertaining if nothing else. \u00a0It was nearly ruined by Ashton Kutcher though. \u00a0He was one of the Rangers. \u00a0Really? \u00a0Yeah that didn’t work. \u00a0After that was Bunraku<\/a>, which I’d never even heard of. \u00a0(For that matter I hadn’t heard of the Texas Rangers movie either.) \u00a0A lot more people got killed in it, a lot more often, making it the better of the two. \u00a0Despite watching the entire two hour film though, I never did figure out what a Bunraku was.<\/p>\n The reason for this stretch of ultra-lameness? \u00a0Well, we decided to go on a two-week diet plan to get our year started right. \u00a0(Actually I was corrected; \u00a0It’s a “cleanse,” not a “diet.” \u00a0Technicality.) \u00a0Since this time last week, we’ve eaten nothing but fresh fruits and\u00a0vegetables, with only water and decaf tea to drink. \u00a0It’s getting a bit tiresome, but then it’s only a two-week project so we’re halfway done. \u00a0We’ve tried some interesting new veggies along the way; \u00a0Some good, some not so much. \u00a0One of the stated goals of this program is to “retrain you to crave fruits and vegetables.” \u00a0I got a good laugh out of that one. \u00a0Yesterday, for instance, I was absolutely craving hot dogs all day long. \u00a0I don’t even like<\/strong> hot dogs. It was rather weird, actually. \u00a0And most of the salads we’ve fixed, while pretty tasty, we both agree would taste a lot better with some rare flank steak mixed in. \u00a0(Not to mention cheese; \u00a0Pretty much everything is better with cheese. \u00a0 Even hot dogs.) \u00a0This is making me hungry, I better go eat some celery sticks. \u00a0(Without peanut butter. \u00a0Savage.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We dialed it back considerably this weekend. \u00a0We went from a packed schedule last weekend to total homebodies the last few days. \u00a0I’m still obligated to recap it though I guess; \u00a0Not like it will take long. \u00a0Friday evening, we did a whole lot of nothing. \u00a0It was too cold to sit on the patio […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1220"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1221,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220\/revisions\/1221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
