What A Weekend...

I got to work the day shift at work on Friday so I was able to start my weekend early. E and I went to St Anthony Village shopping center to grab Chipotle for dinner, went to the liquor store to stock up on beverages for the party on Saturday and hit up Cub to grab the last odds and ends we needed for grilling. When we got home we had planned to hang out with some friends, but instead we decided to sit out on the patio, have a few beers and just chat. Saturday we got up a bit early, made up some of the sides for our party and just took it easy. We had a successful BBQ, I grilled up portobello caps and a MorningStar Farms Italian sausage. I liked the mushroom cap a lot, but I did not enjoy the sausage.

After eating we realized that at least two houses around us were shooting off some pretty fun fireworks so we went out front to watch. Unfortunately my psychotic neighbor (who I have mentioned before) decided to start some drama. I was already pissed since her two gigantic pit bulls almost attacked me, so I went off. It got pretty ugly but thankfully her boyfriend was sober and told her to shut up. Her son also came and apologized later on that night.

Today I got up really early (for me anyway) had coffee with my friend JB out on the patio and then cleaned up the house, read the paper, had lunch with E and did some other chores. E and I also walked to Subway for dinner. I had the veggie delite (the first time I have tried it) and it was so good that even if I don't keep up with this vegetarian eating I will be getting that again. It has been five days and so far so good!

I am hopeful that this work week goes by quickly. On Saturday E and I are going to The Wedge (finally) and to the French Meadow bakery for lunch. Saturday night E is going to order UFC 100 so I am sure we will have a house full of people. I am hoping that we can convince JB to bring Catan. He brought it over a few weekends ago and it was so much fun! I am going to have to order it so he doesn't have to bring it over every time we want to play.

Ooh, a psychotic neighbor! How much fun! :) Good for you for going vegetarian! I have cut down on meat a lot, but I don't think I could ever go 100% I love the veggie delite at Subway. Except I get it with cheese because I love cheese wayyy too much. Yum! Sounds so good.

I can't wait to hear what you think of the Wedge. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Love the healthy, local food. Hate the prices. We play Catan, too. Fun!
