Well it has been a week since I last wrote and nothing too exciting has happened. I also don't have any pictures to share with you so I am going to make this a quick post.
I have basically been working a lot, but luckily they have been mostly day shifts. The fall sports season is fast approaching so I am taking in all the 9 to 5 days I can and savoring every minute. The one bright spot is that we hired a new part time employee who will be working all night and weekend shoots so I will only have half as many shoots to do this year.
My weekend wasn't crazy exciting, but of course I still went out. On Friday the whole gang, well the usual suspects, hung out on Jenster's porch and grilled out for the evening. I made some hummus and Teed said it lived up to the standards of Jenster's. I thought for sure he wouldn't eat any because it would be as good as Jenster's, but I was wrong. Ando went to the store before the grill out and bought us all some treats. He got a bag of Jalapeño Cheetos, Mo and Jenster couldn't get enough, and pudding pops. As you can guess the pudding pops went over a little better than the Cheetos.
I was going to spend my whole day Saturday giving the house a good cleaning, but realized two rooms in I was fighting a losing battle. Ando is still working on the electricity and drilling holes into walls so once I cleaned something it would just get dirty again. Plus Ando has piles of supplies strewn all over the house that I don't know what to do with. I abandoned cleaning and moved on to mowing the grass, which hadn't been done in three weeks, oh how we need some rain, and then washing my car. I can't believe that I have now washed my car twice this summer by myself.
That night Jenster, Ando and I decided to hit up the Comet for some burritos. When Ando and I arrived we were pleasantly greeted his cousin, Olive Oil and his girlfriend Libra, and another cousin, Francois. They also came for the food so we all sat together for dinner and some drinks. It happened that both of Libra's brothers also showed up to make the whole night a truly family affair. Ando and I also found out that Francois and Stewie, her boyfriend, just got engaged. There will be another wedding on Ando's side of the family. That will make three is less than a year when you count our wedding.
After The Comet we headed down to Northside Tavern to check out the new addition. We kept hearing how nice and big it was, but still hadn't seen it for ourselves. Everyone was right when talking about how big it is. The room comes out from the back where the restrooms used to be. Well the women's is still there, but they got rid of the men's. There is a stage back there and another full bar. It's a little weird too because it smells all new and it has never been smoked in before. Northside Tavern just got bumped up a few notches on places we can head in the winter time. You can now sit in the front room and not be overwhelmed with music blasting at you.
On Sunday Jenster, Mo and I went to the Hyde Park Farmers' Market. It was a quick little trip, but still a good time. That night the gang came over to our house for some dinner and Bengal's watching. I knew I would only be interested in the first half because preseason games are worth nothing. That is about how long I made it before losing complete interest in the game. I must say the Bengal' s looked terrible and Chris Henry won't help!
NST added a new room and I need to check it out some more; I won't be adding my own little addition soon.
By the way a new poll is up in case you didn't notice because you don't scour my blog close enough!
