Another weekend has come and gone, and another Monday is here. This is going to be a fairly busy week and weekend coming up.
It’s hot – currently 97 with a heat index of 107 as I write this blog post. The flowers, plants, grass and shrubs all need water, but I’m to the point now where they can just wither and die, LOL!
We had another great weekend. Tim didn’t play golf on Friday, but we had an in-home date night. I made fish and chips (baked beer battered cod and oven fries) to celebrate the start of the Olympics. We watched a couple of shows on the DVR while the opening ceremonies queued up and then watched most of them (fast forwarding through the parade of nations, that sure takes a while). Saturday, Tim had originally planned to play in a golf tournament with Zack, but it ended up not working out, so he stayed home. I had thought he would go play golf at his club (Lake Caroline), but he kept procrastinating and just finally said, it’s so hot out there, I think I’ll just stay here! Very un-Tim like 🙂 We watched more tv, more Olympics, he watched some stuff On-Demand while I did chores (laundry, washing fruit and lettuce, making brownies, cooking, etc) and while I read on my last Harry Potter e-book.
We went to a Hammons family get-together after church on Sunday, at Tim’s Aunt Annie Merle’s house and got to see that side of the family. It’s always fun, fewer people than his mom’s side, and we don’t see them as often. I took brownies and we only came home with a couple, always good for me 🙂 We stopped at Marshall’s on the way home, and picked up a couple of shirts for Tim. We were pretty late getting back, so he again decided not to go play golf. We watched more Olympics and decided to go pick up Mexican food at Tacqueria la Guadalupe again. Tim tried the grande burrito this time and I still got tacos. He also tried the spicy queso, which wasn’t too much spicier than the mild, so maybe they misunderstood and gave us mild! We got another order of churros, my new favorite thing 🙂
Another fun weekend in the bag!
Stacy! It is so good to see you blogging again! I always liked reading about what was happening in your neck of the woods. I have Olympic fever too– my co-worker’s daughter is on the USA Women’s Volleyball team. She is not first string, but comes in on double substitutions and her name is Courtney Thompson. I have loved watching them win–that and the gymnastics. I hope your weather cools down–we finally have some sun today after a week of gloomy gray. We might even reach 85 degrees this weekend.
I am really truly sad about Maeve Binchy–I could always count on getting lost in the lives of the characters in her stories. I really hope to find another author to fill the void. I have heard that Marcia Willett iis quite similar..
Gotta run–Olympics are calling!
