13 July 2007

Your weekend plans? [More:]Man, I haven't made a post to the front page in AGES.

Friday was good. Attended the third day of my new work place (it's 50/50; as in half good half bad--I need the work; it keeps me busy) and got off early since there were only seven of us present. Came back home and attended the Friday prayers. Had a good nice nap in the afternoon and then decided to have burgers for dinner. My dear mother ordered the chicken and ground it to make the breadcrumb encrusted patties with grilled cheese. I diced up the vegetables (onions and tomatoes) and spread the ketchup (which was also home made) on the buns to make one of the best burgers I've tasted.

Tomorrow, we're going to go shopping for new trousers since the old ones don't fit me anymore. (I've put on some pounds and have gone from a 32 to a 38. Man that sucks.)

Sunday is as yet undecided.
Tonight: Slow Food/Wild Edibles walk with this wild-foods expert, some sort of easy dinner and relaxation following.

Tomorrow: Errands, dump, groceries, then fancy afternoon/evening wedding at this place. Friends coming to stay with me for the wedding, 2 kids sleeping on my floor, me and their mom drinking ciders on the porch late-night and catching up, I hope.

Sunday: Waterpark with the kids & grownups, then an outdoor concert on the Gundalow (cargo barge) featuring this lovely guy. Hoping it doesn't T-storm all over us.

A typically bizarre series of weekend events.

Big house clean tomorrow. I've not done much more than basic tidying since I got back from NY. Next week I want to get my contractor back to have a look at the bedroom (soon-to-be-boudoir) to discuss what I want to do with it and I hate the place looking a mess when people come round.

Saturday night I'm lead speaker at a big local AA meeting. We usually go out for Chinese food afterwards.

On Sunday I have some work to finish up that I didn't finish today (gym and hairdresser intervened).

Sunday: gym in the morning. Some cleaning. A little work. Reading.

Tonight: Laze about, Warcraft, snuggling, maybe some Firefly. Grocery store for milk, strawberries, and buttermilk.

Tomorrow: Trip to the OC to see Transformers + hang out with some friends of coined. Karaoke Revolution may be enacted.

Sunday: Turn 24. Make strawberry shortcakes. Go to a picnic/pool party/potluck thing hosted by some of the hikers. Assess behavior of said hikers (this is the interventionist group) to determine whether further unstructured hanging-out is desireable or tolerable.

Well, mrs. tr33 is going out of town this weekend, so:

Today - watering plants, trimming around flower beds, trimming some bushes, canning bread and butter pickles, cleaning the house a little, drinking beer and playing Outlaw Golf (oh, and I may watch a documentary I taped off IFC about the making of Debbie Does Dallas). Fall asleep on the couch.

Tomorrow - haircut, then my nephew-in-law is coming by for help with his English Comp paper, then I'll mow with my reel mower, weed, pick any veggies that need to come in, finish cleaning the house, more video games, more beer, and maybe some wine. Play with the dog, fall asleep on the couch.

Sunday - clean if I don't finish tonight and Saturday, maybe take the dog for a walk or go on a long bike ride, then welcome mrs. home with a spinach ricotta pie and a big salad. Fall asleep in bed, with my wife.

Newsflash! Unless you have recently read the book, unlike me, the new HP film makes absolutely no sense.
