Yes, yes, yes, I have been slacking.

Life hasn't been exciting (work, cook, watch Six Feet Under, repeat), so there hasn't really been much to blog about. I apologize for the ridiculous slacking off, and promise to be better.

First, I want to say how much I'm going to miss my beautiful Bailey boy, who passed away yesterday. He was honestly one of the nicest, sweetest dogs I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I know he's been in pain for a while now, so it's comforting to know that he's not hurting anymore, and is in a happy place. Josh assured me he's in doggy heaven with lots of nylabones :) Mr. Bailey will definitely be missed by everyone, and was extremely loved!

On a lighter note, this weekend has been fun so far! We're dog sitting for a golden retriever-chow mix, Champ, who is a sweet little guy. It's fun having two doggies here... hmm.  Anyway, Josh and I went out for random adventures today. We went to Andrew's downtown for lunch. We each got beers, and I got a pastrami and swiss sandwich, which was quite tasty. We then went to Best Buy so Josh can do his manly things. I played with my dream camera the whole time. I grabbed a brochure and it's now on our fridge as a new life goal. If anyone ever gets an extra $700 to throw my way, fee free! Thanks. So, after that, we went to Bed, Bath & Beyond, Michael's, Marshall's, those boring stores that I feel bad dragging Josh into, oh well. So, we got home, and Josh started "nerding" with Doug (video games, of course) and I went out for more girl adventures! I went to Khol's and got new sunglasses (mine broke, grr), a picture frame, and a lantern for the deck. Then I went to the grocery store to get things for dinner. Exciting, huh? I'm making one of our favorites for dinner - the cornflake chicken, so yummy.

I hope everyone had a nice week and that you're all having a lovely weekend. I miss everyone!!

Return to the blog world!

Yes, I have been slacking on blogging, but we were away all weekend with no computers, so there's my excuse :)  We were in Clearwater, FL for the Easter weekend, so here are our adventures!

Thursday night we decided to live dangerously; for an old married couple, that is. We went to a karaoke/sports bar, AJ's, with some people. We didn't get there until 10:30 (this is living dangerously, because that's past our usual bedtime. Yes, we are old people). It was a good time! Met some new people, and had fun being social.

Friday morning, we decided Josh was in desperate need of shorts! My mom is quite excited about this purchase, as we bought Josh real shorts - khaki ones! Yes, this is exciting. Then we hit up Dunkin Donuts, duh! Necessity before any road trip! It was quite tasty. Then we hit the road, dog and cats in tow.

We went to Josh's grandpa's Friday night and took him to a wonderful steak dinner! I got prime rib and Josh and his grandpa got filets. Josh and I each had two beers, and grandpa had two cosmopolitans! He said it was the most food he has eaten since Josh's grandma passed, so we are quite proud of ourselves! And he said we cheered up his life, which was really great to hear. So then, of course, he was in bed by about 7pm. So Josh and I went for a sunset walk on the beach, which was lovely! Then we went to the store to get sangria. We sat out on grandpa's dock for a couple hours just talking, listening to music, and drinking sangria. It was a really great night!!

Saturday, we hung out more at Grandpa Brian's house, and then headed to the beach, where we got some hot tans (well, I got tan, Josh got burned). Then we said goodbye and headed to lunch at a dockside restaurant, where we had some amazing bleu cheese burgers. Next, it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Kellard's house. We hung out with them, and I ate some blue crabs - yum! For dinner, we had manicotti, made with cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese - so much better! Josh and I were absolutely exhausted and ended up in bed kind of early; it was a good night!

On Sunday, Grandma Kellard made us breakfast, eggs and sausage. I called my parents and my grandma, and it was great to talk to them! We then went to see a few different beaches, parks, and lakes. We saw Alligator Lake and the Tampa Bay; sadly, no alligators spotted, but we saw a lot of fish! It was a really nice outing :) We got back and hung out with the Tzigos, playing basketball with Alex and Kallista (we all suck). Then it was time for Easter dinner! We had tons of appetizers, sausage, chicken wings, and shrimp. Everything was delicious! After dinner, we had to say goodbye and head home. We didn't get home until 12:30am. That sucked.

So, it was a really nice weekend! Sucks to be back working, but gotta make da dolla dolla bills, y'all!

Thank you, thank you, oh thank you.

A certain Jessica Bond and I had lengthy discussions regarding food today, and therefore, I shall dedicate this post to food (especially since nothing excitement has happened since my last post). So, FOOD: I LOVE YOU! <3

Desserts are like mistresses. They're bad for you.

So if you're going to have one, you might as well have two.
