It's gonna be a long week

That was one fast weekend. I don't think I really sat down for more than a couple minutes. Unless you count dinner, that is. We went out with the neighbors for dinner at Firefly on Friday night. It's some sort of Asian influenced restaurant, owned by the same people that own several other restaurants in the area. The food wasn't too bad, but the service and the cook time were very slow. We ordered appetizers and beers right away and it took about 10 minutes to get the drinks and about 20 to get the appetizers. The main course was slow as well. The capper came when the waitress was clearing our table and dropped some green vegie thing right into my half full Summit Pale Ale. She then had the nerve to put her hand into my glass to pull it out! She stopped and just mumbled something like "I'll get you another beer..." and left. We had a good laugh.

Saturday morning I got my only relaxing time of the weekend. We watched several tivo'd shows from the week and finally got out of the house around noon. We spent the next 4 hours checking out ceiling tiles and wainscoting and picking out new master bathroom light fixture and framed mirror. Then it was time for bowling. I continued my struggles, shooting a paltry 566, and as I go so goes the team. We lost all 7 points for the 2nd week in a row and fell to 3-18 for the 2nd half. Yikes!

I put the light fixture and mirror in on Sunday in between working on the basement. Oh, had to take the mirror back. Just so happened that the one we bought was the only one mis-labled. Instead of being a black frame, it was brown. 45 minutes later, after a quick run back to Home Depot, swearing the whole way behind some idiot in a beat up minivan that couldn't get within 10 of the speed limit, I had it hung.

I grabbed a quick bite to eat and then rushed off to hockey where we were throroughly trounced 8-1. The team we played got a new player right before we played them last time. He played division 1 college hockey and does NOT belong in our league. He scored 6 goals both times against us and I swear he was just coasting half the time. We did have a short lived 1-0 lead after one of their defensemen deflected a shot into their own goal. I managed an assist on that one.

Went to bed at 10:30 and fell asleep quickly but woke up at 11:30 and with visions of drywall in my head, I never got back to sleep until 3:30 and was awoken again at 5:15 by the dogs... so, here I sit, one 16 oz cup of coffee down, barely able to keep my eyes open. It's gonna be a long week...
