Weekend!!  I sure don't have to worry about BORING on the weekend...

7/24
Friday - shopping day!  Ron wanted me to go shopping today, so he wouldn't have to go with me on Saturday.  He had too much to do at home, what with mowing, weedeating, and all that, as well as dealing with "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" every few minutes, even though he gives Corgan his own tasks.  (poor guy, right?)  Excuses, excuses - but that's okay, it seems I get more done easier without the guys breathing down my neck, even though I like their company.
So, I got up after doing my tableting and reading, got a shower and got dressed and headed off down the road.  I had plenty of stops to make:
1)  Bank
2)  Walgreen's
3)  Kroger
4)  Lunch at Don Rigo (the Mexican restaurant in the Kroger plaza)
5)  Gasoline at WalMart
6)  WalMart
and I decided not to go to the Post Office or the other bank!!  I figured that what I was doing was enough running.

I left home around quarter til 2, and got home close to 5:30, and I was totally exhausted.  I'm not sure if it was the 90+ degree weather, or I'm just too damn old.  Probably a good combination of both.
I dozed off in the recliner waiting for the guys to get here, waking when Corgan called to let me know they were on their way, and dozing back off again until they got here.  Then our Friday evening fun started.  It wasn't too very bad - the guys did some of the yard work tonight (Ron said "since it was cooler" hahahahahahahahha) and didn't even come in until after 8:30 - so the TV didn't come on until after that.
I had started a pot of garden green beans to have for supper tomorrow (Saturday) night, and I turned them off around 9:00.

Two or three hours of TV, and then I went to bed.  I just couldn't stand it any more.  Most stupid science shows, indeed....


7/25
Happy, happy birthday to my daughter-in-law Chelle!!

My Saturday started a lot earlier than I wanted it to, with my son texting me, asking me what was the plan for today a little after 10 in the morning.  I had to bite my tongue so hard to not say "sleep" but I was a good girl, and told him a decent answer.  Then I had to go talk to Ron and find out the real answer.  I let Josh know, then we started our day according to said plans.
Ron and Corgan started in on finishing the yard work while I languished in bed for a little while, then I got up, did my weigh-in (my first one for this go-round, so I lost more weight than usual - 4.4 pounds), turned the green beans back on, then got ready to go over to Felicity to buy some 5/$20. meat.  To my surprise, Corgan decided to come with me!  Maybe Grandpa was working him too hard...

After getting back from the store, I peeled potatoes to add to the beans.  I also added ham, but I forgot to add onions - why do I do that?  I knew I wanted to, and I had an onion laying on the kitchen table so I wouldn't forget!

We had told Josh that we'd come down around 3:00, but we had also promised Corgan that we'd go swimming at East Fork Lake, so now our time is running out.  We talked it over, and then texted Josh that it would be closer to 4:00 before we get down there, and I got things ready to go swimming while the guys closed down the outside.  So we went swimming for a couple of hours, came home for Ron and I to take showers (Corgan said he'd take one at home), and off we went again, this time down to Josh's.
Corgan and I played on the Wii while Ron and Josh went under his house to work on the pipes, which didn't take them very long at all.  Ron wanted to do more, but Josh was satisfied with the little bit that was done.  They came back up, showered (yeah, Ron's a clean guy!), and we ate supper.  Meatloaf, green beans, and applesauce.  It was very good.

Before supper, Josh played a game of bowling on the Wii with us, then Jean joined us for a game, too.  We decided to play Wheel of Fortune during supper, since it isn't very energetic and we could concentrate.  Corgan wasn't happy, because he can't play (yet), but he got to hang with Grandpa, so he was okay after a little bit.  So it was a good, quiet, happy family evening.


7/26
Sunday.  Church and lunch.
Yep.  Ron did surprise me, though.  When we pulled into the Barn to go to lunch, he asked me, "Do you really want to go here?"  I asked him, "Well, where else?" and he said, "Well, there's the Mexican place."
I swear, my lower jaw hit the ground!  Ron does not like Mexican, and he's the one who says this???  NO WAY!!  As we're having this conversation, about 12-15 motorcycles start pulling in.  It seems they're just coming and coming.  We just look at each other, and then we both nod and say, "OK.  The Mexican place."  It was kinda funny!
So that's where we ended up going - the Mexican place in the Kroger plaza. (it's named Don Rigo)  He tried the lunch combo, getting two chimichangas - one beef, one chicken - while I got my normal lunch combo of two chicken chimichangas.  I get mine deluxe, getting a "salad" on the side, but he didn't get that, since he eats the refried beans and the rice.  He also gets mine, so he got a plenty big-enough meal.
We got back home.  He went fishing after sitting around for a bit, and I just sat in my recliner tableting and reading.  After he got home, the TV came on, and that was the night.
I made him a ham and egg sandwich (two breads) for his supper, and I had a ham and cheese sandwich (one bread) for mine.
Dead guys the rest of the night, and I am caught up!

I am taking my sister for an ultrasound of her gallbladder in the morning.  I HAVE to get up and leave here by 7:00.  Ugh, ugh, and more good ugh.  Tis okay - I'll survive.
