This weekend wasn't bad all things considered. I went to the movies Friday, we cooked out Saturday night, and went to a cookout Sunday. It's always a good week when you don't turn the stove on.
Friday, we went and saw Wanted. The review of it is in my Review blogs. I liked it if you're feeling lazy. Definitely worth seeing. Earlier that night, I was sitting in the car, and my hip popped, and the pain magically disappeared, so I was giddy also that my hip was feeling good.
Saturday, I woke up feeling great. Hip pain just in the muscle, decent night's sleep, sunny out, what more could I ask for? I was feeling froggy, and when the wife went to work, I mowed the lawn, trimmed it, and generally got it looking the way I like it. Since my injury, my wife and the boy have been working on the yard, and they don't do it like i like, and always miss a spot or two, so it was nice to have it done right.
I then puttered around the house, and waited to see if the boss would get off work early enough to go grocery shopping for cooking out that night. She wasn't, so I let the dog out, jumped in the shower, and got dressed. I went to the kitchen, looked out the window, and saw that it was windy out. Before I could even process that, I saw our patio umbrella blow by. Not good. So I went out to get the umbrella, and then saw that the glass part of the table was now in a million pieces. Yep, 2 hours from cookout, and no table. That's when the wife pulled up, and she wasn't happy lol.
So I dipped into the ol bonus, and bought a new patio table. I do like this one much better, so thats a good thing, and the place we bought it at undercharged me by $20.
I then shopped for dinner, came home, and started preparing the food. We had shark steaks, Marlin Steaks, and Salmon kabobs. All were very good. I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but the marinade on it was really good. We also grilled eggplant, had corn on the cob, and some salad. I also made some veggie kabobs. Very healthy, and very tasty.
Our friends new boyfriend seems really nice. They're both almost vegetarian, with the occasional fish, so thats why we cooked what we did. I'm glad we did, it was good.
Sunday, we cooked out and lit off fireworks at our friends house. They have 4 kids under 7, so its a big change for us. They're hyper, and smart, and add in fireworks, and they're bouncing off the walls.
Despite the children factor, we had a good time. I know if it was me, I'd be slipping those kids a mickey around noon to calm them down, but thats why its great visiting with them, because we can go home.
I know, this is boring as shit to you, but it was a pretty good time if you were there.
As a side note, my youngest called me Saturday to wish me "Happy Father's Day" and find out what his brother got me. I am still a little frustrated with him and his mother, but oh well. Apparantly, he learned well how to be selfish. He has a good teacher.
