The weekend.

Hello! I'm in a bad mood right now, but I thought I'd post anyway. (I'm probably in a bad mood because I'm at work and it's a Monday.) Anyway, here's an update of our weekend. If I get dates wrong, it's because I'm retarded and am bad with days, names, and faces. Who are you?

Friday night, I believe, Jay and I did some rogue swimming at the state park.

We took our floatie noodles out. It was pretty chilly outside, and the water was definitely more chilly. It was kind of creepy because we went over to the boat launch side, and there were like 3 or 4 trucks there, one with its headlights on, and as we floated around, we could hear what sounded like fake duck calls to me, but Jay said they were frogs. Ain't no frogs I ever heard!

Then Saturday, I believe, we went to see Wall-e with Judy and Erik.

It was a really, really good movie! I've not been in the mood to go to the movies much lately, but I'm glad I went. And Judy and Erik brought in lots and lots of candy, so that was totally awesome. We had some apps and a pitcher of beer beforehand at John Harvard's. Good times.

And then on Sunday evening, Pat & Kate came over with their 3-month-old baby, Ted. He's a cutie pie! I haven't downloaded the pics yet, but I will and will post some. We planned on having a barbeque and hanging out outside, but it was SO MUGGY and hot that we stayed inside. I grilled the usual grilling food outside as it rained, but that was okay. I had my beer to keep me warm. (Wait, it was already hot out...) Kate brought me a plant with orange flowers on it! Weee!! Pat & Kate got to take my Honda Fit out for a test drive. Pat used the paddles. (That sounds like a euphamism for something else...)

Anyway, now I'm at work and Jay's having a man's day out at Foxwoods. I hope he wins lots and lots of money! Because I'm SOO into having lots and lots of money! Money money money!! More for me!!

I'm not materialistic. Really.

More dumpster news (more exciting than ever!)

Today I helped Jay fill up the dumpster we rented. It was tough work. But I'm one tough cookie.


We focused on the basement, which had lots and lots of stuff we haven't seen or used in the past three and a half years we've been in the house, so we chucked most of it (except for sentimental things like pics and videos and the like). Jay worked REALLY hard - I didn't know how strong he really was! Rrrowwlllll. I guess he worked in Crate & Barrel's stockroom for a few years, so the C&B strength came back. Here's some more pics:



This is a pair of Jay's old skateboard pants. Matt Doyle will remember them.

Dumpster diving

Jay rented a dumpster we could throw out crap. I haven't seen the dumpster yet, as I am writing from work right now and the dumpster was delivered after I left. (Oh, I also forgot my laptop this morning -- hu-duh -- but Jay met me in F'ham to bring it to me.)

Anyway, back to the dumpster. We have old wet rugs and old desks and extra trash cans and 50-lb. glass doors and lots and lots of other stuff we need to get rid of, so Jay decided we'd rent a dumpster and, well, dump all that stuff in it. I'm excited to see it when I get home. He says he's been taking some pictures (I love pictures), so I'll have to post some, if they're appropriate, that is...

Let's see. Last weekend we finally went to the place down the street called T.J. Spirits (I thought it was called T.J. O'Brien's for some odd reason...). It's a townie bar for sure, and part biker bar for sure. I felt out of place without a Laconia T-shirt on. There was a normal-looking young woman there hanging out with lots of biker dudes, and she turned around and her long hair was braided and some sort of leather sheath was wrapped around it. I'd never seen anything like that. I thought Kerry, Bri's wife, might like something like that. You know, because she's the wife of a biker... umm, yeah.


So this weekend we'll be dumpsterin' for the long haul! Unfortunately, we have a mouse problem in the basement.

We've already caught two of them, and once we go through the basement and clean up and go through old boxes and stuff, I'm sure we'll find a nest. Igkcey! We'll bring Abe along - he can utilize his terrier skills to catch and maim them. Because that's what he does. The two mice we've seen him catch in three years he hasn't quite killed. He maims them and then plays with them. Abe's a sick, sadistic dog. He should be in The Most Evil Dogs in History book.

Inconsistent posting

Unlike Pat and Kate who actually have something to write about (Ted), Jay and I live mildly mundane lives that aren't really blog-worthy. However, I will write about sweet potato chips. They are so damn good. I can't get enough of them. My big tummy can't get enough of them. Mmmm, sweet potato chips!

Anyway. Yesterday we went to a place down the street called T.J. Spirits that's sort of a biker bar. We were always scared to go there, but Jay took me there as a surprise. It was actually kind of neat. The prices are really cheap and the food was pretty good. Some interesting company, too, what with the biker dudes and such.

On Saturday we went swimming (sort of) in the reservoir. I say "sort of" because we used our water noodles. It was still a workout, I tell you!

Right now I'm still working on a monster transcript that I hope to have completed in the next month. ::sigh:: I hate big transcripts; they overwhelm me!

We also got Abe's hair cut finally. He looks so much like a chihuaua (sp?) that it's crazy! He's much cooler (temperature-wise) now. Which is good, you know, because it's summer. Yeah.

I have to go finish up some laundry now. See ya'll later, dudes.

Beer helmet!




No, I'm not shooting the boat with a cannon...


Ooo, it's Jay in a headlock given by Trouble!


Oooh, it's Erin in a headlock given by Trouble!


The rewards of the chocolate buffet



Beef Wellington... mmmmmmm.


I forget what beach this is... I think it was Horseshoe Bay... they're all beautiful


Proud Jason keep on turnin'....


Proud Erin keep on burnin'...


I loved the hibiscus flowers!




Our first day on the ship

Aww, aren't we just the cutest?

Oh, I wish I lived in the 1920s...

Bermuda!

Hey everyone, we're in Bermuda. I will post pics and some stories later, and I probably e-mailed most of you who would check this blog out anyway, but so what? Today we are going to walk around St. George and check out the local shops, and tonight the Celtics play the Lakers in game 1 of the Playoffs - guess how excited Jay is?

Okay. That's it! My time on the internet machine in this cyber cafe is running out... we'll talk soon. I promise!
