Weekend Update
Aug. 1st, 2011 11:07 am We didn't get up to a whole lot this weekend. It was moderately warm, quite beautiful, but it felt hot to me. I swear I have some kind of fever or something. Foodwise, I was lazy and I'm getting really sick and tired of grilled anything. It's been just north of too hot to cook anything "normal" so we've been basically not been using the oven for the last 3 weeks or so? That leaves us with the option of something in a pan (frying) or something on a grill. Grill still wins. But it's getting old.
We got the TV switched to our new TV stand. That's not at all a small accomplishment. We have six speaker system with four different devices feeding into it. That's a lot of cables and what a hellish mess behind it all. YUCK! While stuck behind there, pawing through dusty wires and wiping stuff off I actually begged Janna for "BENADRYL NOW!" It all looks nice now though and our electronics are actually in a cabinet, not on top of one. We also mowed the lawn, which we both could have done without :) But it does look nice.
One nice part of the weekend was Project Runway is back! We had no idea there was going to be a season this summer. The last I'd heard was casting six months ago or something. We're enjoying it. There is still the tendency to toss in heartwarming stories of people overcoming their past courtesy of Lifetime network. But this season's crop looks pretty interesting.
We also watched an older DVD called "1940s House" which is a reality tv thing where a British family is put into the position of spending a month living as a family did during WW-II, dealing with air raids, rationing, and so on. I gather it ran on PBS at some point. It's quite excellent.
