bah.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday we didn&#8217;t do a whole lot, for whatever reason.\u00a0 We went out to Martin City and had lunch at Jackstack, which was solid as ever.\u00a0 Then we headed over to Sutherlands to catch the big moving sale.\u00a0 They are moving to Harrisonville and everything in the store is 25% off.\u00a0 We picked up quite a few things&#8230; A lot more than we intended.\u00a0 I guess we got caught up in the excitement of the sale.\u00a0 Whew.\u00a0 Our coolest purchase was a Little Giant ladder.\u00a0 Wow, 24 ladders in ONE!!\u00a0 These are wonderful times we live in.\u00a0 I figure any product endorsed by Al Borland has got to be high quality.\u00a0 That wrapped up our Saturday for the most part.\u00a0 We wanted to watch a movie for our evening entertainment, but apparently one of our knucklehead house guests from Friday night had the bright idea to turn off the heater in the TV room.\u00a0 You could dang near see your breath in there by the time we noticed that.\u00a0 So, we threw a few filet mignons on the ol&#8217; George Foreman grill and had a nice little dinner, and called it day.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday we headed down to the Brooksider and watched the Bears\/Saints game.\u00a0 I was kind-of-sort-of-not-really pulling for New Orleans, but everybody else at the table was for the Bears; Whatever, works for me.\u00a0 We had lunch there too, and found that the Brooksider had changed their menu too!!\u00a0 Man there is some kind of culinary shakeup going on in Brookside, and I&#8217;m not too fond of it.\u00a0 I was grudgingly forced to admit that the menu was better, mostly due to the new improved french fries and the addition of blue cheese in the burger menu, but I made it a point to complain anyway.\u00a0 Just because.\u00a0 After that game we headed back home to watch the late game.\u00a0 Our TV room had warmed back up to an inhabitable level by this point, so Todd came over and we hunkered down in there for the rest of the day.\u00a0 Thus ended our snowy weekend.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t look like it&#8217;s going to thaw any time soon either; our &#8220;one car family&#8221; experiment isn&#8217;t going so smoothly at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really can&#8217;t get too fired up to type anything, but in light of last weeks less-than-mediocre update I suppose I&#8217;m obligated.\u00a0 So, type I shall&#8230;
