Exceedingly Mundane

Boy oh boy – Tim is having a tough week. He is working all day and then having to work almost every single night. He’s more worn out than I have seen him in a long long time.

He called on the way home tonight, about 6:45 or so and asked what we were having for supper (he never reads the menus I post on Hambones!). I told him (ranch chicken strips, rice, corn), and he was like, “I want to go out and eat and be really bad and eat something fattening and have sweet tea”. So, what’s a girl to say to that. No, honey, let’s stay home and eat something homemade, baked, rice which you don’t like, and unsweet tea. Of course not.

So we went to his choice – The Haute Pig in Madison. Where we ordered a slab of dry ribs and proceeded to gorge ourselves on some really wonderful ribs. They have great sauces there, my personal favorite being the sweet one. We had slaw and potato salad with it, and it was all really good. We’re both stuffed, or else I would have had a piece of the Hershey Bar Pie they offer for dessert. Never tried it, but I want it every time they offer it! 🙂

We went to Lowe’s afterwards to pick up a part for the toilet (the handle lever thingie broke on the guest bathroom toilet) – yes, I’m sure that was too much information, sorry. 🙂 Then we went to Blockbuster to return Ladder 49 and we rented “The Pacifier” to watch sometime this weekend. This movie has been on my list for a while, and I hope it’s half as funny as it looks from the previews. We really need something light and funny right now, Tim is so overworked and burdened right now.

He has to start work again in about an hour and a half, about 10:45 or so, to do some stuff then get on a conference call at 11 PM. I haven’t dared ask yet how long he might be. Of course he never really knows. If things go good, he might only be on a half hour or hour, but if things go wrong, he could be on for hours and hours. I hope for his sake it’s quick. And I hope things get better soon. I really don’t want him to have another weekend like last weekend, where he’s working more than half the day each and every day.
