Not a long enough weekend
All of last week I've had a linger...not sure...cold, not really just tired and had a bit of a sore throat off and on and some snuffles. I had hoped to kick it this weekend....and that doesn't seem to work I guess. I'm to the point were I'm going to stop taking it "easy" and just hit the gym etc.
Friday night we were all tired. I hit bed at 930 and slept really well. I was still pretty groggy when I awoke on Saturday and slowly got ready for the tournament. Once drugs and coffee kicked in I did okay. Benton was awesome at the event and listened well and we hit the library to get some books and just in general had a good time. Ivan was Sir Sable and everyone was suprised he could be an asshole. Honestly, people don't liv with him. He's a jerk a lot of the time. He's just sublte about it. Will was the rapier sable and Ceyln was the youth sable so we changed the household name to Rottenheim cause yes, we were rotten. LOL. Got home after hitting up Frost for gelato and relaxed into the evening. I made lamb chops, edamame and couscous with a really nice dill yogurt sauce. I've never cooked lamb but I hit it with a bit of garlic and cooked it to medium rare. So tasty. Benton loved it. Mel was exstatic about it and just purred with happiness about it. I'll have to make it that way again. We are saving the bones to make stock but are currently stuck on what you use lamb stock for....ideas?
My goals for the weekend were to get laundry done, work on my projects and try to get better. I did pretty good with that though I didn't get my studio any better but I put more stuff away and figured out how to get Ben to clean his room with a timing game and the Visual Timer. He now understands that in small increments (10 mins each) we set up to do tasks in the 10 min section. It worked really well and we even got his laundry put away nicely.
My goals this week are to do a bunch of calligraphy and finish mel's sock. I got through the heel and gusset yesterday and now am in the foot. I also spent too much time play Free Flow but I'm in the way higher levels having fun. We also finished up watchign Jonny Quest Season 1 (1964) and still love it. We also found that Kim Possible is on youtube boot legged but I did order the Season 1 and 2. We will now be going through the Batman Animated Series with Ben. Then maybe on to Justice League and Teen Titans.
Mel did get the bottle openers out to people and we got text messages of people hanging them up and putting them right to use. Its awesome. Plus that is projects out of his shop. He made Ben's bed this past weekend for camping and he needs to finish it this week.
I have to say the weather last night was crazy. The airport had 47 mph winds. Oof. The rain was a lot though the gauges only stated 1/3 of an inch. Weird. it sounded like a lot more.
Work this week is about finishing things up and kicking ass at the gym.

I say "hey, gonna make stock from this duck/crab and then strain it and pour it into an ice cube tray and then when I need a touch of liquid, gonna throw in a cube or two." I have yet to notice that crab stock changes the final flavor of a dish (altho I notice that it starts out smelling seafoody)
Stock is stock :)
