Getting Complaints
So, I've been getting complaints from friends and family that I haven't posted much in the past 2 weeks. Okay, I haven't posted at all. I guess my life has been pretty dull - stamping, cleaning, sleeping, etc. But, I'll share with you some highlights.

Mike and I made our first trip to the Delsea Drive-In last weekend. We took my bug since it was a beautiful night. The top stayed down through the first movie. We watched Nim's Island and Leatherheads. I have this crazy ability to sleep through anything. I really wanted to see Leatherheads with George Clooney, but I didn't last much through the first 30 minutes. Mike kept nudging me, but it didn't help. I was out. I guess I crashed from my sugar high from the cotton candy. Did you know that a bag of cotton candy only has 114 calories - in the entire bag!!! I'm not going to feel as guilty anymore.

Let's see....what else have I slept through lately....oh, yeah...a rock concert. Back on the 13th, Mike took me to see Nada Surf in Philly. It was an enjoyable concert, but after 3 full stamping events, I was exhausted and was "resting my eyes". I don't think Mike bought it and nudged me. He kept telling me that I could sleep on the way home. What's wrong with me?!!?!?

So, I'm trying to get the electric service upgraded to my house. Turns out it might not be as simple as it sounds. The electrician came out on the 12th and we noticed that one of the power lines coming into my house was cut! I wonder how long that had been that way!!! I didn't notice any disruption or oddities about my lights, but everyone thought I should be experiencing something. Well, the power company came out within 2 hours and had it fixed. I have pictures somewhere...you're in luck - they were in my purse. Exciting picture, huh?

Ready for some crazy Kristin logic? Okay, before I can get my electric inspected, I have to move a washing machine. Before I can move a washing machine, I have to move a sink - which is apparently REALLY heavy. So, I've invited the family over for dinner and a big washing machine/sink-moving party tonight! Well, I was at the grocery store and found really inexpensive beef tenderloin. We're talking $5/pound. I grilled for Mike last week and I paid $18/pound! I'll be anxious to see how $5/pound IGA beef compares to Wegman's $18/pound beef tonight. I've found a spice rub which was REALLY good. Mike and I enjoyed our steak with an 11 year old Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon. Oh, it was SO good. 1997 was a fabulous year for Napa Valley. And, I've had this particular bottle laying down for years. I can't wait to break out some of the other wines I purchased on that trip. Even more surprising was how much Mike enjoyed it. He typically prefers white wines. A big, bold cab is just the opposite. But, it had mellowed out so much in those 11 years that he was coming back for more. Now I only regret buying just the one bottle! Anyway...back to the crazy Kristin logic. So, I only grill using charcoal. I have a teeny-tiny grill. Not enough for the 5 lbs of steak. So, it was time to buy a grill. The grill I want is a lime green Weber Performer from Crate and Barrel. Unfortunately, it's only available online. I will get my lime green grill...someday. But, alas, it wouldn't be today. So, I decided to scope out cheaper grills. Mike did an awesome job scoping out (and shopping for) a fabulous $25 charcoal grill from Walmart. Who knew grills could be so cheap!?!?! This sucker is disposable! But, at least it'll hold me over until I finally take the plunge and buy a grill. Why do I have problems buying practical things? This grill which I've wanted for 7 or 8 years now is cheaper than Baxter, the robotic dinosaur. It took me 5 minutes to decided I need to own Baxter. Did you follow the logic? Neither did I.
