Things I’m trying to do

Exercise more.

Eat healthier.

Drink less Diet Coke.

Figure out our summer plans without pulling my hair out.

Watch less reality TV lest my fiance run for the hills. :)

Three days of thirty

Friday

Bug is long gone – but not how you think.

Dave should go into the pet control business on the side.

A bit of traffic and Happy 50th to my cousin.

Saturday

Ellie is four. Someday I am sure she'll be a comedian.

I made Maddie spray Matt with water to avoid it myself.

For some reason I don't feel too guilty.

Monday

I made a smoothie for breakfast.

It was made mostly of chocolate.

I'm not so sure that's what the healthy living people are talking about.

And now I'm still hungry.

 

More details to follow on the bug situation.  And also a yummy recipe featuring Shrimp and…chickpeas. :)

Constructive Eviction

There's a squatter in my apartment. A bug the size of a compact car scurried into my closet. I tried to kill him with Comet.

I need to move out.

Memorial Day 2011

A year ago over Memorial Day weekend Dave and I went to New Hope, PA.

This year we went crabbing.

I mean Dave, his dad, his sister, the kids and his nephew went crabbing.

Dave’s mom and I went to the beach.

And then came back and watched them crab (?) is that the verb?

And then we went to Dairy Queen.

I love Dairy Queen.

On Monday we had our geek fest I mean barbecue.      To explain – when Dave was first separated he joined (and now runs) a MeetUp group of people who like to play board games and trivia.  I have never gone to one of the board game events so I only knew the trivia folks.  I’m being mean.  The truth is they were all lovely (if slightly eccentric) people and everyone seemed to have a great time.

 

I made a corn salsa that was to die for if I do say so myself.   You can find it in this month’s Food Network Magazine. And bruschetta.     A lot of people brought pasta salad.  Guess which one was mine?   The other best seller was dessert.  I made a flag cake.  It was noted it was not historically accurate. 

I said eccentric people attended earlier didn’t I? :)

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  We’re heading to Miss Ellie’s (my goddaughter) 4th birthday bash this weekend.  I am sure there will be plenty to report.

Last night my fiancé asked me if I was participating in a blogging challenge. Thirty words a day for the month of June.

I guess so - a day late.
