Planked again

Today I didn't grill the other package of cornish game hens from Dinner by Design. The grill won't light the last two days, even though there is gas in the tank ... I am a little tired of these cornish hens getting the better of me. So I threw them in the oven and showed THEM who's boss. Yes I did. They were tasty. Not necessarily $10 worth of tasty, but I'll find out next time I'm in the market. (Two and a half hens plus spice rub can't cost THAT MUCH.)

The plank is sitting on my counter, laughing at me. Yeah, kinda just like you are, right now. I think the grill found out I was feeling up other (much bigger) gas grills at Lowe's last night, and it's pissed at me.

On the upside I stopped by DbD this afternoon, and the owner whipped up some peach grapefruit relish for me, so I now have two more packages of Mahi-mahi in my freezer, which is awesome.

Mr. Carly said he wanted a new hoe, and we actually had a few laughs about that on the way to Lowe's. Laughing isn't something we do a lot of lately. ::::thud::::

We left with the hoe, and a window washer for my son - a combo sponge and squeegee, he did the windows today... (I am going to teach him how to do all the things around the house that I wish his father was doing. Mwahaha. Oh shit, is that why we don't laugh together anymore? D'oh.)

I also got a shelf for the little tv that will go next to my treadmill this winter, and some batteries. So in the end (ha) that hoe cost $150. Bitch.

We passed through the kitchen display area and I saw a demo set up that I liked, and so I asked for a small brochure with that particular style of cabinet in it. Dumbass... the clerk thought she had a live one and gave me 3 catalogs totaling up to about two pounds, despite my protests. I hope she's not counting on me to make a commisison for the next five years or so. I've got kids with really nasty dental x rays to deal with first.

Well, almost time to find out if I'll have to continue seeing Rory's giant gums on Food Tv, or if it will be Ms. Fancy Schmantzy. Hmm. Not sure I care. But it's kind of like, you read all of these books about this boy wizard and you have to find out if he lives. Or something like that.

Sometimes, it starts with a laugh about Hoe's on the way to the store. ((Hugs))

I was up till some absurd hour of the morning reading that same book (glad I though to read it last night, cuz C isn't done YET, as he is getting distracted with archery and x-box games) and I tell you... it was worth how damn tired I am right now.

Carly said...

The family that picks up hoes together, stays together!

Things will get better... right?

I distinctly remember a day in... maybe February?  I remember the moment, but not what day it was. I was sitting at work thinking about plan...
