I had to actually work last night, hence my slightly tardy update this week.\u00a0 Oh, the indignity.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, I had to work for my paycheck several times this weekend, greatly affecting my general quality of life.\u00a0 It happens.\u00a0 Oncall is definitely a young man’s game, but I still have to take my turn I guess.<\/p>\n
Friday night was something of a non-event once again.\u00a0 We dropped by the Brooksider for a brief bit of socialization, but after several pages from work it was clear I might as well just head home.\u00a0 For our evening entertainment, we watched “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry<\/a>.”\u00a0 For once Donette and I agreed on a movie;\u00a0 We both thought it SUCKED.\u00a0 We sat through to the bitter end though, mostly because the dogs were resting comfortably by our feet and we didn’t want to stir them up.\u00a0 I kept hoping the guy from last week’s movie,\u00a0 “Hatchet<\/a>,” would come out in the next scene and slaughter Chuck and Larry, but it never happened.<\/p>\n Saturday started off rough with a few hours of work, then we drove south to visit Mom.\u00a0 I wanted to pet my motorcycle for a bit, and tell it how much I missed it.\u00a0 I bought a new seat a while back and put that on too.\u00a0 Didn’t start it up though;\u00a0 If the battery was dead that would have ruined my already tenuous mood, so I’ll just leave that to my next visit.\u00a0 And, of course, we went to lunch at “The Best Burrito.”\u00a0 I went with the chile relleno this time, and wasn’t disappointed.\u00a0 On our way home, Donette suggested we “drop by the Honda dealer and see what they have.”\u00a0 Hey, sure, what the heck, it’s a nice day out, let’s look at some rides.\u00a0 I knew things were looking bleak when “John” the sales dude came running over.\u00a0 “Ahhhh, Mrs. Kenagy, good to see you again!\u00a0 Brought the husband this time huh, great!”\u00a0 What the heck just happened here.\u00a0 The short of it is, 3 hours later I was driving home alone in my new ’98 Honda Accord, and Donette was following me in her new minivan<\/a>.\u00a0 (Pay no attention to those prices, that link is for vehicle informational purposes only.\u00a0 Rest assured, being the shrewd negotiators that we are, those numbers are totally invalid.)\u00a0 Geez, we might as well just sell the house and move out to Johnson County, maybe coach a futsal team or something.\u00a0 I think it technically falls under the “SUV” category, but it’s a fine line in my book.\u00a0 What can ya’ do.\u00a0 I will admit I was hooked when I saw the built-in XM receiver.\u00a0 That’s what put the sale over the edge for me.\u00a0 I am very fond of my satellite radio, but the receiver I use in the car broke several months ago.\u00a0 So this way, we have a car with XM again, and I don’t have to go out and drop $40 on a new receiver, install it in the car, call them up and switch the codes, etc. etc.\u00a0 How’s that for a rationalization.<\/p>\n Sunday we were a bit slow getting around.\u00a0 We finally got up the energy to go have lunch at Jalapenos, and then went and kicked around Costco for a while, which is always good for some afternoon entertainment.\u00a0 We dropped by the Brooksider on the way home and showed off the new minivan (which technically we don’t actually own yet, but I have a feeling the cards are stacked in John’s favor at this point) and hung out a bit.\u00a0 That kinda wrapped up Sunday, and the weekend for that matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had to actually work last night, hence my slightly tardy update this week.\u00a0 Oh, the indignity.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, I had to work for my paycheck several times this weekend, greatly affecting my general quality of life.\u00a0 It happens.\u00a0 Oncall is definitely a young man’s game, but I still have to take […]<\/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-239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239","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=239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
