Pad Thai

I got up yesterday feeling like crap. I kind of wanted to throw up and definitely didn't want to go to work. I knew I was going to be regretting that wine. I got up about an hour and a half before I had to leave for work so I just tried to sit in front of the TV and feel a bit better. I took an Alka-seltzer and ate a bowl of Cream of Wheat. I was in no mood to eat anything, but knew by noon or 1:00 I would be wishing I had something to eat. So I decided to pack myself a lunch. I was starting to feel a little better when I left for work

I got to work and found out my co-worker Meeike was starting to get sick. I had to sit in a tiny little truck with him for hours; I hope I don't get sick later this week. At around 1:00 I started to get hungry and was glad I had packed that lunch. I also brought a Pepsi with me, but it wasn't in the fridge when I grabbed it from home. I wasn't looking forward to drinking a warm pop, but then a light bulb went off in my head. It was so cold outside why not put the Pepsi out there to get cold. I left it out in the cold for an hour or so and that was plenty of time for a nice cold, refreshing pop. I was almost expecting there to be ice bits floating in it it is was so cold.

When I got home after work I decided to take a nap. I got such crappy sleep the night before I had to take a nap. It was a short one and Murph climbed into bed with me to keep me warm. After rising from my slumber I started cleaning the house a little for company. Ando made fresh bread and Pad Thai from scratch. Nothing came out of a box, well except the noodles I guess, but you know what I mean it was all fresh ingredients and fresh Pad Thai sauce.

After my hot shower, in a bathing suit of course, don't get any bad ideas in your head, I starting making bread pudding for dessert. Everyone showed up and we drank some beers and did some mingling before eating. Dinner was yummy, even though Wint spilled half his Pad Thai on the floor. He was going to eat it off the floor too, but I wouldn't let him. I'll be making fun of him for a couple weeks to come I'm sure.

There was a little Apples to Apples game playing after dinner. About half way through fresh, hot bread pudding was served. Teed won the game and the Polaroid picture taking part of the evening. I think 6 Polaroids were taken and he was in 5 of them. You just have to document someone in pudding pants when you have the chance. The evening was a good time overall with too many good conversations to document in my blog. I guess you just had to be there.

Our friends came over, no proposal to celebrate with them.
