The Jungle

Well, new day....new blog. Yesterday was a great day! I did have to go to work in the morning, but that is expected. I did normal work "things" or "stuff" if you would like. However I did go to the Jungle, Jungle Jim's, during my lunch break. Since Jungle Jim's is so close to my work I have enough time to go during lunch. On this trip I got out of the store with my lowest bill ever. I only spent $35, which I am sure you all know is quite low for the Jungle. I bought some beers for my friends and me of course, as well as some tamarind paste for Pad Thai. Not too much odd purchases this trip.

I then came home and got ready for Ando's fam to come over. At least the fam that is in town. I am now going to give a shout out to my neighbors, J&J. I thought they would appreciate a mention in my blog. They called last night while preparing dinner with a bit of a dilemma. They needed my help with directions to the west side and a phone number that was at their place. I did everything I could to help them; including going next door to retrieve a number. And while I was there I pet a kitty, how could I resist. Crisis averted, let hope.

Then Ando's family came over and brought some good beer, Brooklyn 1, and dessert. What more could you ask for. After the Brooklyn beer was gone we moved on to an Anchor Christmas from 1998 that my boss recently gave me. Ando made some fresh bread too. He wasn't impressed with it, but I thought it was very good as did his family.

To top the night off we listened to a bit of the Xavier game. We were all amazed Xavier was winning by so many. I thought the game was supposed to be close, but no such luck this time. Who would have thought Xavier would score over 100 points two games in a row. Lets just hope my boys can keep the "mo" up and continue to roll. I hope Erin gets free pancakes, and maybe I will tag along.

I finished the night by going to bed a little early since it was so cold and I had to get up early for an appointment. I think I may have even cuddled a little with Ando in bed!

Nothing to tell the parents, still no ring.
