The Weather Man is Toying With Me

If you read my blog at all you will know that we recently got a new grill. In order to offset the cost of this my hubby decided that we should grill 3 times a week. I vetoed that plan quickly but did agree to several parties - I do love playing hostess.
So now we have a day of fun planned for this Sunday. Due to the crappy weather report of 52 and rain we put in a rain date for next week. Now, the weather man is saying 61 and sunny. I wish they could pick something and stick with it. I have salads to make and a backyard to set-up!!

Weekend update

Friday - What a super fast day at work! First one of the big bosses brought in donuts :-), then 12 of us went to lunch and PF Chang's. It was so good. Amazingly with 12 of us we were out of there in an hour and fifteen minutes. Then, since we are moving soon we had about an hour of time set aside to clean and dust etc. Five came super fast!!
My hubby was golfing so I had dinner with my dad and then chilled at home.

Saturday - Got up super early to go shopping with Kristen. I have to say it was worth the hours in the car to go to the new scrapbooking store and the stamping convention. I did learn that no matter what online mapping system you use - you are bound to get one set of directions that just doesn't work. After 3 loops around Akron, and one frazzled phone call we did finally figure it all out.
After arriving home and showing off my purchases, I was set for a night in. I weeded the front lawn, made dinner and started on a gift I'm making for a friend that just had a baby. After all that it was still only 9pm. So I watched lots of random tv.

Sunday - We got up late, but managed to score free lunch with Rich's mom. Then we went grocery shopping and went to CVS (totally exciting - I know). After chilling at home for a while, and waiting to see if the rain would come we headed out. Since hubby had all the fun this week I got to pick what we did. So we played putt putt (I won!) and then headed in for some games. Hubby beat me at air hockey and I turned in my tickets for candy. I totally remember there being better prizes to pick from - I guess anything you can stick on your finger is cool when you are 4!
After that we called it a day and just chilled. We did watch Jar Head. Good movie, but a little on the long side. I mean how many shots must you show of them walking in the dessert??

Our New Toy



We got a small "inheritance/gift" from Rich's grandma passing. We can't just use all the money for bills - that's way to responsible and boring!! So we got this grill and a col little patio set that folds up for storage. Sorry no picture of that from the Lowes website.
We will have some parties this summer!

Little Things


We got a new microwave!

This may not be exciting to most but I think this one has my favorite feature ever - a button for softening ice cream. I'm probably the only person around who takes this frozen treat and melts it, but I love it that way!!!

I had a fabulous time in Philly this past weekend - more on that to follow once I up load the pics.

I returned to a house that seemed to want to fall apart. My hubby and dad had spent the whole weekend fixing the floor in our half bath. What they thought would be simple turned into a disaster because the floor and part of the wall had to be completely replaced. Everything will be fixed and in working order before this weekend. Then the microwave decided to die and try to kill us by sparking and smoking. Lucky me, my hubby bought the warranty so he is getting that fixed/replaced today.

Oh the woes of owning your own home!
