Wow that was a decent weekend.\u00a0\u00a0I never have a weekend that rates “great” anymore, so decent is pretty good.\u00a0 No running around all over the place, minimal phone calls, intermittent entertainment… just overall relaxing.\u00a0 I had the day off Friday, which is a solid start to any weekend.\u00a0 Since the weather was so nice, I took the pups to the Bark Park<\/a> and let them run themselves silly all afternoon.\u00a0 It was a work day, so\u00a0I figured nobody else would be there, and that theory was dead on.\u00a0 We had the entire place to ourselves.\u00a0 Later in the evening we headed a bit south to attend yet another in the recent string of 40th birthday parties, for one Carl “Chuck Rotten” Scotten.\u00a0 It was a well-attended event, and turned into the usual reminisce-a-thon.\u00a0 Todd was notably absent however; he decided to go to a “tennis mixer” at the gym instead, continuing on his current run of questionable decision making.<\/p>\n

Saturday we started the day with a visit from the Dog Guy.\u00a0 It was sort of a waste of time really.\u00a0 All I wanted to work on this week was leash-walking, and it was pouring rain out.\u00a0 We really didn’t work on too much else… she is doing pretty well on her sit\/stay stuff, but isn’t quite ready for any more advanced stuff until we can get her to walk a lot better on the leash.\u00a0 After that was over, we cleaned house for a while.\u00a0 Donette’s parents have been helping us keep the place clean, but they’ve headed off to Texas for their winter hibernation so we’re on our own for a while.\u00a0 (Something tells me the odds of finding a cleaning person that doesn’t mind two Pitbulls running around the house is pretty remote, although I guess we haven’t really tried.)\u00a0 That depressing round of chores took a few hours, and then we started cooking for some odd reason.\u00a0 Apparently\u00a0inspired by her recent trip to Albuquerque, Donette was on some kind of mission to make stacked enchiladas.\u00a0 We decided on a recipe and went at it, boiling up some chicken, roasting chiles, chopping up the “stuff,” and making a few side dishes to go with them.\u00a0 Oddly, I think my favorite part was baking them on\u00a0dinner plates in the oven.\u00a0 Don’t ask me why… I’ve just always liked hot dinner plates.\u00a0 Weird, I realize.\u00a0 Anyway, the Martins came over and joined us for the taste test.\u00a0 They came out OK;\u00a0 At no point did I close my eyes and feel like I was actually at El Pinto<\/a> eating though.\u00a0 Not bad for a first try.\u00a0 After dinner we threw some 10 point pitch with the Martins, and the evening saw the men return to their standard dominating card form.\u00a0 I can’t remember the exact numbers but I think the second game was 40 – 0.\u00a0 Something like that.<\/p>\n

Sunday was good ol’ football day.\u00a0 Not much more to say there.\u00a0 We also made a second run at the stacked enchiladas, with all the leftovers from the night before.\u00a0 The\u00a0Sunday recipe turned out much more favorably than the Saturday one;\u00a0 Sorry Martins, you got shafted.\u00a0 It was a pretty solid effort, plus I got to bake on dinner plates again;\u00a0 Two times in as many days.\u00a0 Ahhhhh, life in the fast lane.\u00a0 Not much after that.\u00a0 It was too muddy to take the dogs anywhere, so we curled up and watched the games, baseball and all.\u00a0 While nothing is ever certain, I think my Fantasy Football team is even going to win this week… Will miracles never cease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
