A beautiful SoCal day

Posted in Food,Observations — by Don on 03/26/05

I actually woke up this morning at an hour that can actually be considered sleeping in (8:30) to what was already a sunny and warm morning. All I can say:

It’s about f’ing time!

I can’t remember the last time we had a truly ‘nice’ day here in SoCal, so I decided it was not going to be wasted.

First up, the MINI needed some seriously cleaning. I did what I could with clay bar, polish and wax, but it still needs machines and the chemical set to look great. Anyway, right in the middle of washing down the MINI, who walks over? Yea, out of nowhere, the lass, who has been in ignore mode for the last 9 months (even after a Christmas CD/Starbucks Gift Card and a happy birthday email). Seems she was fulfilling her public service requirements in warning me about the raging poison oak that is floureshing in the hills above us. She even had the welts and bruising to go with. Of course I exclaimed “oh no! that’s awful” but was thinking ‘hehehe’. Still, it was the highlight of my day.

Filling out the rest of my day was a haircut, a stop at Trader Joes for some freezer stock and wine, then 1 last stop at Smart & Final for more freezer stock, another bottle of wine and corn dogs for the lad.

Then, cleaning up after preparing our newly purchased meat for the freezer, the garbage disposal decided to give up the ghost and come disconnected from the sink. Flooding ensued, but we managed with a pile of towels.

Finally, pizza for dinner, a few Bass Ale’s for me plus I won a game of chess! Overall, a good day.

But damn if I can’t stop thinking about the lass now. Crap.
