Avalanche.

After all the weekend yard work I slept hard and woke up Monday with a full tank of energy. That’s very rare on a Monday. I was ready for the week. I get to work and the new guy is pissy at me for leaving him with less than a quarter tank of gas. Boo hoo. Seth and I thought it was funny. you know how many times Seth leaves me with no gas and I don’t complain to my boss about? All the time. Hell, I was the last person to fill up that vehicle. Someone else can do it for a change.

Staff senate meeting. I wasn’t able to physically attend and I’m happy I didn’t. VP for Development had a presentation. I watched it and it was bloated bullshit. 4 years on I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m wondering what the point is. Nothing really happens. It’s just to appease the masses. I suppose I get a little insight into the campus life and what’s going down but I usually know in advance anyhow. I’ll stick with it if I get nominated again next go round. It gets me out of the office and I suppose it’s good exposure.

Tuesday I received my money from my first eBay sale. $97.88 for a video game I can no longer play and didn’t even know that I had. Just shy of $100. I have some more games I’m going to put up now that I’ve seen how it works. Why not. Money in my savings. I think I’ll try and keep 5 active items up at a time. This is actually some good fun and a money maker (hopefully).

That evening I was going to have Yvette and her kids over for dinner. Pasta with a fresh tomato oil based sauce I put together at lunch to marinade. I needed a trip to the store after work for garlic bread and basil. Got home to let the dogs out only to find a scene straight from the Exorcist. 5 puddle of dog vomit. Owen ate my caladium bulbs. Dum dog. The house smelt like shit so I’m sure he ingested some of that as well. It would be the night I’m having guest over and was rushed. 20 min later I went to the store. By 6 I was finally cooking.

The meal was a hit and awards her son and I emerged ourselves in the world of Fallout. I told him I wouldn’t watch the show without him. Yvette fell asleep for the hour. She wasn’t interested in this kind of show. Oh well, we had a great night.

My somewhat new coworker has had a bug up his ass all week long. Barely saying a word. Seth and I think it’s sort of funny. What’s up with the people that take that position always being so dang moody. It must come with the job. I had no idea someone could be as moody as Sarah.

It got hot Thursday and it was cold again on Friday. Nice and gloomy. A beautiful Friday. I needed a beautiful Friday. It was a dreadfully long week. I almost couldn’t make it.

After work I dropped Yvette off and went out to my moms for about an hour. I came home and fed my dogs and let them out and rushed to a last min invite to Yvette’s parents. They cooked out. Amazing chicken, beans, sausage and some awesome deer jerky. I had to save room for my own planned meal and it was difficult with so much good food. It was a great time.

Happy Friday!!!

Jalapeño

Margarita salmon w/ street corn and broccoli cheese. The salmon with the street corn was amazing.

Fresh ingredient pasta. Chopped tomato’s, mozzarella balls, spicy Italian sausage, fresh basil, garlic clove, olive oil, salt, pepper and cracked red pepper. Yvette and the two kids liked it.

Bowtie pasta salad with peas, corn, red bells, diced tomatoes & cheese. Mix some tech and spicy salsa you have a meal. lime pepper chicken with pico.

Carne guisada over sticky rice. Yvette and I already had a little meal earlier at her parents but I needed to cook this. It was yummy. For whatever reason I can’t upload the picture.
