Busy Week

Last week was busy and the kids got sick.  So I didn't even have time to open up the computer. I did everything on my phone. The only reason I am on here this morning is that the kids slept over the grandparents and the hubby is playing golf.

On Friday we went to this really cool farm on a field trip and tomorrow we are going to the zoo.  Lots more details to come. Pinky swear!

The new evite

We don't get along.

I really don't like the evite!

That's it...I'm just putting it out there.

Oh and tonight, I am going to a wine tasting with the girls!!!

Last night

Last night a friend and I made dinner for my husband. It is his birthday on Tuesday.  She loves to cook (like me), so we asked him his favorite dish and went with it. 

It wasn't actually that easy.  At first he responded with "what's yours?".  Then he picked mine. I had said lobster.  There really wasn't much of a chance that I was making lobster.  All week he pondered his favorite dish. On Wednesday night he decided to google the menu of Calhoun Corners.  It is a fancy restaurant in Clemson.  He said he had his favorite dish there. So be picked steak with a mushroom and prosciutto cognac sauce and banana cream pie.

So we had a starting point. We came up with the rest of the menu and went to work on figuring out how to make the sauce. 

The menu was:
Appetizers
Pumpkin dip with gingersnap crackers
Shrimp cocktail
Salad
Autumn Salad with lemon poppy seed dressing
Main Dish
NY Strip Steaks w/ mushroom and prosciutto brandy sauce
Roasted potatoes
Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower
Dessert
Banana Creme Pie
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake with Caramel sauce

I will include recipes for the meal later on this week. Suffice it to say, dinner was delicious!

Seriously???

So the other night in bed, our DVR switched to tape Keeping up the Kardashians.  I love that show.  My hubby, all irritated, asks "Do you really have to tape this junk. All you watch is junky tv?"  I am thinking yes but instead I say something along the lines of "sure change it, watch what you want".  So he puts on Jackass. 

Seriously ?!?!?

I mean really???

I didn't realize that show was so much better.

Cell phone woes

Until last April, I had an old school cell phone. It was a flip phone. It was so ancient I couldn't stand text messaging on it.

Then in April after holding out for an I-Phone, I decided to bite the bullet. I bought a Droid from Verizon. I am a Verizon customer.  Loyal, in spite of their prices. The hubby tries to make me switch carriers all the time.  I refuse.

The transformation...I could text, email and do basically anything from my phone. I love it!  So as I am running out of the house tonight to go to a party at a neighbors house, I drop my phone.  Not on the hard ground or anything, on the couch...and the screen breaks.  I swear it gave me a panic attack.

I couldn't enjoy myself at the party. It was awful. Finally, I had to leave the party to go to Verizon.

They were closed but the man who works there told me a "bleeding screen" isn't covered.  And then he asked me "Do you have insurance?". And for once I had ignored the Clark Howard advice of not getting insurance and purchased insurance for this phone.  So guess what? I am getting a new phone. Tomorrow!  Shipped right to my house.  You can't beat that service.
