That weekend was definitely a bit… “subdued” after last weekend’s escapades. Don’t guess we can count on friends flying in last-minute to entertain us every weekend. \u00a0 Rats.\u00a0 It was fun enough though, I’m generally more easily entertained than I used to be.\u00a0 Friday we went to an auction at Donette’s school.\u00a0 We went last year and had a great time, so we figured what the heck, try it again. \u00a0 We got there around 5:00, so I could help out in the kitchen.\u00a0 (Now aren’t I just the good hubby?) \u00a0 They were having a shrimp boil, so I offered to lend a hand if they needed it. \u00a0 They really didn’t need any help, but it was fun at any rate.\u00a0 As a bonus, I ate my weight in boiled shrimp.\u00a0 After dinner several of our friends from the Brooksider joined us upstairs at the auction, which was a blast.\u00a0 We actually stayed all the way to the end, whatever time that was. \u00a0 For whatever reason, I like watching the auctioneers do their thing.\u00a0 They have Nigro Brothers do the auction, and those guys really know how to wring coin out of people.\u00a0 Pretty amusing.\u00a0 We had pretty good luck in the raffles too;\u00a0 One of our friends won an Ipod off his $2 ticket, and our friend Katie hit the final four on a cruise but then lost out on the final drawing.<\/p>\n
Saturday & Sunday I can quite easily lump together into one paragraph.\u00a0 Matter of fact it might be difficult getting more than two sentences out of them.\u00a0 I watched quite a bit of the Olympics on Saturday afternoon, then in the evening I headed down to the Brooksider to watch the Missouri game.\u00a0 Alas, it was all full of (loud) riff-raff from the earlier game.\u00a0 “Those people” were all over the place, taking up valuable Missouri chairs and being generally obnoxious. \u00a0 I made it about fifteen minutes and then bailed.\u00a0 Opted instead for a nice steak dinner at home.\u00a0 Sunday we considered ourselves “snowed in” and didn’t really do anything.\u00a0 More Olympics, and then Donette made an almond-crusted pork tenderloin, with pear stuffing on the side, for dinner. \u00a0 Deeee-licious.\u00a0 After that we watched “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3<\/a>.”\u00a0\u00a0 It was OK; \u00a0 Mostly I just wanted to watch it because it was on Blu-Ray so I could use my nifty player.\u00a0 Pretty cool picture, I must admit.\u00a0\u00a0 I rounded out the weekend with a showing of\u00a0 “The Death Factory; Bloodletting<\/a>,” which was appropriately horrible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That weekend was definitely a bit… “subdued” after last weekend’s escapades.
