Weekend's ROCK!

My, how time flies when you're having fun. 

Today it's a cool, cloudy, very quiet early Sunday morning in 'da hood....

....but yesterday we took Luke the Wonder Dog to Clyde Warren Park in downtown Dallas, a first for him.

There were sights and sounds and smells (and tastes) he'd never experienced before.  I think he enjoyed himself.

We had a great selection of food trucks to choose from:  I ate off The Butcher's Son....2 brisket/jalapeno, 1 cluck fillet sliders....sorry, too good to stop and take pictures of, while K had a Ruben grilled cheese off another "roach coach".  (Not really, they're super clean!)  For the record, Luke preferred my brisket. 

We wore Luke out!  On the way home he curled up in K's lap and passed out.  Back home I gave him a bath as he was overdue anyway, plus being on the streets of downtown Dallas.... 

I even gave K a haircut (yes, another skill set on my resume) and sent her to the showers, too.  Then I hosed myself down also and settled in to an evening of college football.  :)

Today it's Starbucks for a coffee and a read, then a trip to *gulp* Toys R Us to do the grand-kidlette's Christmas shopping.  Better now than DECEMBER 10th, right?  I think there's a small art show somewhere, too.  I'll have to Sherlock Holmes that.

But my sacrifice will all be rewarded when this evening I'll grill us some beautiful prime steak fillets I purchased from David's Meats yesterday.  Good times!

Industrious weekend....

I came home from work early Friday, cleaned up, and then K and I (she was off Friday, too) went to Target and Toys R Us and did our Christmas shopping for the grandsons.  We beat the rush and now we're through!!!  I absolutely hate to shop, especially Christmas shop, and especially Christmas shop when everybody else is doing their Christmas shopping, too.  I feel so relieved to get it over with.


That Friday spurt of energy pretty much meant Saturday was a free day.  We had a leisurely brunch at IHOP....K suddenly likes their waffles, and I'm always good for breakfast food.  I even had some biscuits and gravy.  Mmmmm, love 'em!  And despite all that, today I weighed in and saw I had somehow managed to lose weight for the week.  I'm now down an even 11 pounds.  Just 9 more to go....with the holidays coming, that might be a tough 9 pounds, ya think?


Football watching off and on for the rest of the day ended when we walked to Ginger Man for a beer, where we ran into K's boss.  Somehow I got stuck with the tab for us all, including his son, daughter, and her date.  All I can say, he'd better come through with a nice raise for K come evaluation time.  *wink*


Gotta work this afternoon.  Maybe my next million-dollar home sale will happen today.  You never know.  :)
