This is where Riley hid for most of the day until the installers finally came. They said 8am but didn't come till 2 and didn't leave till a little after 7pm and finally our new CARPET. Then we still had to make dinner and put some things away till tomorrow.
My neighbor keeps bringing rhubarb to me. I don't really like it, and I'm not sure how to cook it or what to do with it. Besides, I don't really have time for baking. But, I graciously accept it in the kind spirit that it is given, and hope that some day I can cook it, or freeze it, or bake it, or...........???
Today James tried yogurt for the first time and loved it. My Dad also came over and helped move the heavier furniture. Our basement is almost full. Good bye old carpet.
Mike Amadei is lending Jesse a set of drums to practice on for a while until he can afford his own set. He is sooooo happy to have them!
Portillos forgot to give us a piece of chocolate cake that we paid for last week. So, Joe called and complained. They said they would send us a coupon. We received the coupon yesterday and I'm so disappointed that it's for the piece of cake (that we already paid for) and a SMALL drink.....I'm mean, really? That's all they could afford? I guess the ecomony is really struggling!
This was Joe's friend for today. We moved as much as we could today. Only the real heavy stuff is left now.
Watching their team finally win one! The other team was short players during the first quarter of the game, so had already forfeited the win. But, we loaned them players and even played Annie & Corey's younger brother on their team during the first quarter. Then, as their team started to show up, we got our players back. Surprisingly, though, our team still actually won the game, for real, too! Their first win of the season, during the last regular season game!
Madi and I went to the movie to see Night At The Museum. It's been over a year since I have been to the movies.
Worked all night, then went to a hotel across the street and slept from 7:30AM until 2PM. Got back here at work at 3PM to start again. The team had ordered Indian food for lunch and saved me a samosa (a deep-fried thing stuffed with potatoes and peas) because they knew that was all I really liked. And our project manager had just shown up with ice cream. So my breakfast today was a samosa with chocolate ice cream.
I wouldn’t try the strange purple ice cream shown here. It’s one of David’s favorites from the Phillipines. All I could think of was “I never saw a purple cow. I hope I never see one…”. Here’s a link to the whole poem: http://www.alysion.org/ryan/poems/I%20never%20saw%20a%20purple%20cow.htm
Today I packed more stuff from upstairs. Then when Joe got home we went out for Dinner. We went to Ruby Tuesdays. They had a new menu. They had lots of Lobster, yummy. James loves playing with the menu's he is always trying to take them away.
Madi found a toad today. She carried it around in that container for a while, then she let it free in part of our fairy garden.
This is what I woke up to this morning. They were repairing our city sidewalks. It was very noisy and then they pulled this truck in front of our driveway and it got noisier.
