Its become fabulous again...

After a week of a miserable attitude due to some disappointments at work, I have returned to bliss... but only after attacking some wooden pallets. Anthony and I were building shelves in the garage, and we decided to recycle wood (a.k.a. keep these shelves cheap), so we found some pallets to use. I was assigned the job of detaching the ever stubborn pieces of wood from the supports. I was unaware of the challenge when I started this project... you must use a crowbar to pry the boards up enough to get at the nails but these are no regular nails... the tops pull off giving you nothing to pull them out with thus leading to tilting the hammer from side to side, slowly pulling the nail out. Anyway, after about an hour and a half, I had 6 perfectly usable planks of wood and a much improved attitude... I found my smile... who knew it only took banging on some wood with a hammer and crowbar to make me feel better?

Next task of the week, Anthony has been wanting to feed Parker leftovers... whatever, I'm game to try it. We had some sweet potato and corn leftover one day, so I mixed it into her food, and the result, our once very neat eater... turned into this....
Come to find out, she likes sweet potato, but not a huge fan of corn... what a mess! Our experiment will continue.

Last night, we went to see a minor league baseball game with some friends of mine from work. We had a great night! It started with some minor bar hopping before the game, and arriving at the game about 2nd inning (I think, wasn't really paying attention). Lots of laughs and tons of great pictures. It is wonderful to hang out with friends away from work, get to know their significant other that we all hear so much about... let me add, it is great to have such great friends at work... that doesn't always happen.

I think the best discovery was that the stadium does sell better beer than Bud and Bud Light. It was quite a finding. The night ended, of course, with some wonderful Waffle House - 2 eggs scrambled with cheese, hashbrowns scattered, smothered, peppered... my usual. It is pretty sad when you have a usual at Waffle House. Luckily for us, the closest one to our house it 20minutes away... or I should say luckily for our bodies.

I am looking forward to taking yet another trip this coming weekend... back to Houston. I guess I should unpack from last weekend! Ooops, I'd like to say that I've been too busy to unpack, but that would be a lie... just too lazy. Gotta get to it.

What's wrong with Bud Light? :)
