Weekly Update

This has been a long week, but I am rewarded with a long weekend! We have been painting this week. Okay, it was just two walls, but that's a lot to me and my husband, whose movements mimic the elderly. Neither of us have "Type A" personalities, so we don't get in much of a hurry for anything. We need to get our painting done soon, because our carpet is history in a couple of weeks! Yeah! We're replacing our carpet with wood floors (except for the bedrooms). The husband has been wanting this since we moved in, and I'm convinced that it's the right time to do it. I really miss our house right now, so I'm trying to turn this condo into a home. The red walls really helped. Now, I'm thinking about having my dad paint the kitchen cabinets red as well. It's not bright red. It's closer to a cayanne pepper red or something. The actual color is "Bold Terra Cotta," but it's not orange in any way.

Party time for Peanut Phobes!

I'm not celebrating because those that consume peanut butter are getting sick, but at least I'm not wondering if I have eaten any of the poonut butter myself. Woo hoo for faux peanut butter (Sunbutter made from sunflower seeds)!!!

Valentine's Day

This year, we didn't really celebrate like we have in the past. I think those days are over. The husband buys me flowers a few times a year, but I told him not to this year. I got a new dining room set and we're getting our floors soon, and I was happy with all of that (even though our checkbook was sad...okay, it was sobbing). We did go to the Coastal Grill to have dinner, though. It was packed with old people, like always. My coworker says that's the best sign when entering a restaurant. He says that old people know good food better than anyone else, so go where they do for a good meal. Maybe he's right. That is my favorite restaurant in this town because they always have amazing fresh fish on the menu. I had tuna and the husband got a pan fried trout. It still had its face on, and it was looking at me. I didn't taste it, but I didn't like it. I especially didn't like it staring at me! I don't know why he always has to order something crazy, but he is blessed with that gift. When that happens again, I'm going to make him turn his plate upside down, so his dinner doesn't watch me eat mine.
