We had such a busy evening after work yesterday. I didn’t even have time to read any blogs! It was Joe’s birthday, so I had to run to the store during my lunch to get a card and a gift because I’m a bad wife and never know what to get him which is partially his fault for not being materialistic enough. I had ordered him a White Sox World Series baseball card set on Saturday and it was delivered on Wednesday. I was impressed; UPS seems to be on fire lately! <\/p>\n
I didn’t want that to be his only gift, so I looked around Walmart for something cute and found a 500 piece Star Wars puzzle. I would have preferred 1000 pieces, but it’s double-sided which is cool, and should provide more of a challenge.<\/p>\n
While I was at the hell hole known as Walmart, I picked up some chew sticks for Peanut. You should have seen her last night trying to drag this huge piece of wood into her den. I also got a box of dice (or is it die?) since we never seem to have enough when we’re playing board games.<\/p>\n
After work I rushed home to beat Joe so I could wrap his gifts. I made him open them before we went to dinner at his favorite place, Red Lobster. He got his usual: shrimp pasta. I got a trio platter with scampi, popcorn and coconut shrimp. We also had shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. They have the best cocktail sauce! It’s very tangy!<\/p>\n
After dinner we came home and cleaned since my parents wanted to visit today. I hate cleaning but love how nice the place looks after the fact. <\/p>\n
I baked strawberry cupcakes while we watched the copy of Old School<\/em> we just bought. I love that movie so much! It seems more funny every time I watch it. When I went to frost the cupcakes, I couldn’t use the buttercream frosting we had bought because it was already open and someone had stuck their finger in it. Gross!!! Who would do something like that? I wouldn’t even think to check under the lid since there’s that foil seal. But it was broken and some frosting was missing. Luckily we had some vanilla frosting we had bought for the girl’s upcoming birthday so we used that instead.<\/p>\n I fed Peanut, hopped on the computer for five minutes to do a few quick things, then headed upstairs with the birthday boy. This weekend is looking to be much cooler temperature-wise than we’ve had in awhile. We don’t have any set plans other than seeing Will Ferrell’s new movie. Should be fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We had such a busy evening after work yesterday. I didn’t even have time to read any blogs!
