Memorial Day: A Weekend Blog.

Woke up Saturday and found out I sold another item on eBay. Have I even mentioned in this blog that I’ve been doing that for maybe a little over a month? It’s profited over $500 on stuff I didn’t even know I had, old video games. It’s been a rather fun lucrative hobby the past few weeks. I mean, it’s money and the only thing that’s work for me is going to the post office. Can’t say that’s bad. It’s easy money.

I thought that we were all going to a high school graduation party but due to unforeseen BS that put Yvette and the crew behind we didn’t end up going. I decided to move the final couch that needed moving in my house. It turned out to be a superior bitch. I assumed because it was the smallest it would be the easiest. I assumed wrong. I finally got it movie. The first piece of my relocated office behind me. After that joy I decided to do the rest later.

I went to my mom’s and had a little snack and a beer. The weather was once again weird. It looked like it did the two days we had hail and we were under a tornado watch. No sir, I didn’t like it. The apprehension. The uncertainty. I like a good storm. I hate a hail storm.

That night I made a meal and watched my show. It was a nice lazy evening. I went to bed at a fairly early hour only to be startled out of sleep by Yvette. She rushed over to put a car in my garage before a storm hit. It sure did hit, but this time all we got was a heavy rain. Thank god no hail. Monday I’ll be calling a roofer Yvette’s dad hooked me up with to see how mine has faired with this last round.

Sunday was her mom’s 69th birthday so we went over to the grandparents to have a feast with the whole family. It was a special. It’s fun seeing so many generations of a family together like that. We had dressing, green beans, potato’s, corn, chicken drumsticks, turkey dressing. I’m guessing Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday food? I’ll have to inquire. Anywho, this was my first time to go to lunch at her grandparents with most the family. She gave me a breakdown of them all before getting there. Most of them I have met at one point or another over the last year and a half. It was a good time. I had fun.

That evening I just camped out at home again. Nothing to do. I watched my show and decided to cook for us so we had breakfast. I experimented while I had the over going and made some pretty fun mozzarella pepperoni rolls. I thought Yvette was asleep but she was at a party at her brothers eating shrimp. I guess she found out last min. Oh well. At least I watched my show. Everyone that likes a little weird with a little western should watch Outer Range. I wonder how long I’ll have to wait for season 3….

Memorial Day. The final day of my pre-vacation vacation. I work up and placed the beef ribs in the oven. They slow cook for 8 hours. I finished all my laundry. I restocked my bathroom travel bag. Went for a little walk on campus before it was to bloody hot. Called the roofer to look at my roof for damage. I had a little breakfast. Made some coffee and played a little Zelda. It was a nice morning.

That afternoon Yvette, my mom and I went for a late late lunch closer to 2. It was nice. Once again relaxing. After lunch her and I went swimsuit shopping. I had not bought a new one in about 20 years. It was time. We were going to the hot spring as part of our vacation agenda. After I found my suit we looked at more baby clothes. it’s something I had no idea was fun or that I had been missing out. Of course we bought some.

After our errands I went home to finish preparing for our feast. The ribs were almost ready so I seasoned the chicken thigh, made the deviled eggs and slaw, and basically got things rolling. The roofer showed right before I was going to put the chicken down, which slowed things a little. Oh well. Yes, my roof is sort of fucked. I’ll need a new one. Bummer.

The dinner itself was good. The two youngest came first with Yvette and ate. They left and later the oldest and his girlfriend ate. I had them all tonight and it was great. I had a very happy Memorial Day weekend. I sure hope all of you did. Cheers!!!
