My days are so jumbled up I don’t really have anything to post on here. \u00a0It’s rather common for my head-calendar to be off a day or so, but its way off right now. \u00a0Par for the holiday season, I suppose. \u00a0Speaking of holidays, we had a grand ol’ Christmas. \u00a0I got presents galore, and a few more are still out floating around in UPS-land. \u00a0We celebrated with my family last Sunday, then up at her family’s on Christmas day. \u00a0Our annual turkey frying tradition was nearly derailed when I pulled out my trusty pot and tried scrubbing it up. \u00a0An hour later, I finally declared it unfit for any type of food preparation. \u00a0Donette saved the day by braving the Christmas Eve shopping mob and getting me a fancy all-stainless pot up at Cabela’s. \u00a0Ohhhh it’s nice, and made for a(nother) nice Christmas gift. \u00a0Aluminum just doesn’t work out that well for deep frying, I never really liked that thing.<\/p>\n
On to this past weekend… \u00a0Well I guess Friday we hit the Brooksider. \u00a0It wasn’t quite patio-weather though, so we didn’t stay very long. \u00a0Inside that place just doesn’t work for me; \u00a0Too crowded and noisy. \u00a0We were there about long enough to catch up on the latest gossip and news, then headed down to Jalapenos for dinner. \u00a0(Chicken verde burrito night, yum.) \u00a0We went back home after that, just in time to catch the start of the Missouri game. \u00a0Looks like it was exciting, but I fell asleep about 30 seconds into it.<\/p>\n
Saturday I tackled the massive undertaking of re-arranging the “office.” \u00a0We really need a second desk in there, and there was no way it was going to fit with the way it was arranged. \u00a0After three hours of un-cabling, rerouting, and re-cabling, turns out it isn’t going to fit with the new setup either. \u00a0Rats. \u00a0Donette swears she likes sitting at the new location better though, although I think she’s just humoring me. \u00a0While I spent my afternoon on that thoroughly unproductive project, she was out running a ton of errands. \u00a0I can’t even remember where all she went, but it was a quite extensive list. \u00a0One stop was at Nebraska Furniture Mart, where she purchased a much-needed new bed for us. \u00a0Neither of us can really remember how old our bed is, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 years. \u00a0She once again went a king size, hoping it will go up our rather poorly designed staircase. \u00a0(I say “once again” because we’ve purchased one before and it didn’t fit. \u00a0I doubt the staircase has gotten any bigger since then, but you never know.) \u00a0Sure would be nice to have that extra space, as I was reminded last night (and most other nights) when battling Teagan for more room. \u00a0For evening entertainment, we headed down to the P&L district and saw Django Unchained<\/a>\u00a0at the (relatively) new Alamo Drafthouse<\/a>. \u00a0I liked the movie, and Donette tolerated it rather well. \u00a0It was pretty funny, in addition to the over-the-top gore. \u00a0As for the theater, well I guess it was OK. \u00a0Honestly I think I preferred the AMC, but it was plenty nice. \u00a0We’ll probably check out the newly remodeled Ward Parkway theater next time, and see how we like that. \u00a0(Since we only see one or two movies a year in actual theaters that will likely be a while…)<\/p>\n Yesterday we took it easy for the better part of the day. \u00a0I boiled off the remnants of the Christmas fried turkey, and made an enormous pot of turkey & sausage gumbo. \u00a0While that was simmering away, we sat through the somewhat tedious football offerings. \u00a0Geez, there were boring games on the TV yesterday. \u00a0The gumbo came out quite nicely if I do say so myself, and we enjoyed it while watching Pitch Perfect<\/a>, a rather silly but amusing film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My days are so jumbled up I don’t really have anything to post on here. \u00a0It’s rather common for my head-calendar to be off a day or so, but its way off right now. \u00a0Par for the holiday season, I suppose. \u00a0Speaking of holidays, we had a grand ol’ Christmas. \u00a0I got presents galore, and […]<\/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-1397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1397","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=1397"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1397\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1398,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1397\/revisions\/1398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
