Wow, I am even more challenged than usual for material this week.\u00a0 We just never really got out of the gate.\u00a0 I’d blame the weather but it really wasn’t that bad.\u00a0 Just lazy I guess.\u00a0 Friday was “OK” on the amusement scale, or at least as good as it got.\u00a0 Donette came down and picked me up from work and we went to happy hour at The Flying Saucer<\/a>, which is high on our list of “places we like but never go to.”\u00a0 We only stayed about an hour, (hence the phrase “happy hour<\/strong>“) and then headed home for some dinner.\u00a0 We’ve been on sort of a ‘fridge cleaning project lately, and as such have ended up with some… errr… unusual dishes as a result.\u00a0 Case in point, Friday evening was “fried rice with smoked baby-back ribs.”\u00a0 Bet you don’t find that on any local Chinese restaurant menus.\u00a0 Hey, you throw enough garlic and hot sauce in anything and it comes out about the same anyway.\u00a0 After that we went our separate ways for the rest of the evening;\u00a0 Her to the downstairs (Wii) television, and me to the upstairs (PS-3) television.\u00a0 I got some new PS-3 toys last week and have been busy playing around with them.\u00a0 I got a second game, and an HDMI switch and associated cables.\u00a0 The HDMI set up is SWEET.\u00a0 I had no idea a simple cable could make so much difference.\u00a0 Wow, it’s like a totally different game.\u00a0 If you have a PS-3 and are still using the cables that came with it, stop whatever you are doing, run to the store, and buy new ones.\u00a0 Now.\u00a0 I didn’t get a whole lot of game-time in though, as I fell asleep on the couch at 8:00.\u00a0 That’s become something of a habit lately, which I’m actively working on fixing but not having a lot of luck.\u00a0 “Old Man Syndrome,” I think.\u00a0 Asleep at 8:00, up at 3:00.\u00a0 What can ya’ do.<\/p>\n

I am tempted to just skip Saturday and move right on to Sunday, but in the interest of thoroughness I’ll throw a few sentences in.\u00a0 We kicked off the day with our usual morning hobby of late, the crossword puzzle.\u00a0 Now there’s some wholesome bonding for you.\u00a0 After that, we literally spent the rest of the day 5 feet from each other, me on the laptop and her on the desktop, playing online games against each other.\u00a0 All…\u00a0 Day… Long.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 Oh well, it was an oddly engaging afternoon.\u00a0 I did step out of the house for a little bit and took Gabe on a nice long walk.\u00a0 We got about 2 miles in.\u00a0 Our usual trail was still a little soupy with all the melt-off, so we walked in the grass the whole way.\u00a0 I mention that not because it is of any interest what so ever, only to make this paragraph a bit longer.\u00a0 After our stroll, it was back to the computer games until dinner rolled around.\u00a0 Donette made some pizzas, again following the theme of “clean out the ‘fridge.”\u00a0 I ended up with one topped with chicken, sundried tomatoes, and mushrooms, and she had canadian bacon with pineapple.\u00a0 After that it was off to our respective TV’s to waste the remainder of the day with our amusements of choice.<\/p>\n

Sunday was only marginally more entertaining than Saturday.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, Donette actually completed the entire weekend without ever stepping foot out the front door.\u00a0 Not to get the paper, the mail, walk around the block…\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 Rather impressive, really.\u00a0 Not that I was too far behind her.\u00a0 I did go to the shootin’ range for a while with Mark, and burned through a few boxes of ammo.\u00a0 After that I went back home and cleaned the guns, and then we talked about going out to dinner.\u00a0 After deciding against dinner, we talked about going to the Brooksider to watch the football games.\u00a0 After deciding against that, we resumed playing online games against each other while watching the football games at home.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 I blame the economy.\u00a0 I guess with all the money we saved staying home this weekend we can afford to do absolutely nothing next weekend also.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
