Dinner With Goldfish

I've got dinner going. Nothing special this evening. Meatloaf, creamy garlic potato mash, steamed broccoli spears, and crescent rolls. It's simple and done within 30 minutes. Gotta love that Rachel Ray!

Today was a pretty good day at work. I went to my first store to promote a new manager. That was fun. She will do a fantastic job, but I have noticed she tends to doubt herself at times. I then went to another store to pick up some keys to let me into an old store. We needed to get in there to get some supplies out before we decide to sell it. Then I went to another store to drop off some supplies and headed for home. There were some sprinkles here and there today, but it has been extremely windy. The Kansas wind is something to be reckoned with. I have seen it turn over 18-wheelers like they were rag dolls. Yep, it's crazy tornado season once again.

I have a co-worker who is a storm chaser. Crazy ass is what he is. He loves chasing storms! He even has one of those little satellites on the side of his house with like this mini Doppler radar system going. It's some pretty high tech stuff. whatever...

Josh took the kid to the fish store and purchased some things for the new tank. The kid kept it pretty basic. I figured he would deck it out in Sponge Bob, but he kept it pretty low key. The tank now has blue rocks, a log with some foliage, and three goldfish. I love watching the fish swim around. It's quite relaxing.

Okay, so I am off to tend to dinner and I plan on catching up on more blogs this evening. Hope you all had a great Saturday!

Lethargic

I don't know if it's spring fever or if I have just been plain lazy, but I have not felt the urge to blog much. Have any of you been experiencing this feeling? Anyway, to make it worse, I have just been feeling so lethargic lately. I took a nap today. I was just so tired. I have a cough that is kicking my ass and I took my cough syrup that contains codeine. It makes you drowsy. It works.

So, today was cleaning day. The kitchen was cleaned and so was the kid's room. We got a new bed so he now has our old one. He has graduated from a twin to a queen size. Josh and I got a king size pillow top. aaaah....

We also hooked up the kid's fish tank. We need to get some rocks, greenery and, of course, some fish. I am not sure what kind, but the kid is a huge fan of SpongeBob SquarePants. We shall see what he comes up with.

It's back to the daily grind of work tomorrow. I know I probably talk about that more than anything, but I can't help it. It's boring, but it's what I do. Well, I need to tend to the carrot cake I have in the oven. Hope you all have a grand weekend!
I am off today and it is the day for some major spring cleaning. The house is tore up! It will get back into shape before too long. Talk at all of you later.

Good morning. I only have time for a quick post here. It's been crazy this week! Congrats to Josh's team - Kansas University, for winning the tournament. Thank goodness.

Well, I will catch you all later.

Stuffy and Runny

Good morning! I am stuffy and runny today. One nostril continues to leak while the other is stuffed up. Allergies? Sinus? Who knows. I am also coughing up crud. yum.

We are heading to Kansas City today. Every year we go to the first home game of the Royals. They are playing the Yankees, so tickets went fast. There are about 30 of us who meet up every year. The game usually starts around 3, but we go around 8 in the morning. We will cook breakfast and then get started on the steaks around noon. It's a lot of fun, however, this year they are expecting rain. Me and rain don't have a very good relationship. I need to find my umbrella before we leave.

We will be at Minsky's tonight for the big KU game. OMG, I hope they win! It would be crazy if they did!

Well, I will check in on Wednesday. Hope you all have a good week. If you get a chance to stop by Midwest Girl, please do so. She just had a baby boy! Tell her I sent you! Congrats Sally!
