Much time and little to do…wait, strike that, reverse it

So last Thursday morning, the door bell rang promptly at 9:15. Two very nice gentlemen went straight out to the back and got to work removing our old Heat/AC unit. I started a roast for dinner then dozed off to sleep. Woke back up about 11 to another knock at the door. Sales/Paperwork guy. Got the paperwork signed off on, then politely asked how long he expected they would be there. “Oh till four or five.” Ah geez. I should’ve made it to Home Depot Wednesday night to buy all the supplies I needed to be productive painting/caulking, etc. Oh well…I’ll just have a lazy day. I took a few camera phone pictures throughout the day. But most of my time was spent on the couch watching what I am assuming was the second or third season of the Biggest Loser. All episodes back to back. The guys came in at two and announced they were going to grab lunch and would be back in about thirty minutes. Not long enough for me to get out and back on time. And I’m sure it would’ve been okay for me to leave while they were there since they were outside anyways, but still…just didn’t feel like it was a good idea. Anywho, they got back and finished up about fifteen minutes after five. Heat works, AC works, now have removable air filters, house is less dusty, and a programmable thermostat I know how to work. Yeah!!! Glad it is taken care of.

Last Saturday night Ryan and I were very excited to spend the evening with friends. Jennifer and Bryan came into town from Houston so a group of us all met at Melanie and Justin’s for a cookout. We had a wonderful time! Always so good to see our friends.

Sunday before they left, our group went to lunch. Melanie and Justin got to show off Aaron (their seven and a half month old son). He is adorable. Growing like a weed! We decided to go to Chili’s for a quick bite. Ryan had the honey chipotle chicken crispers, and I had this appetizer sampler thing with mini chicken crispers, southwestern egg rolls, and mini burger bites. We all split chips, queso, salsa, and ranch. Everything was wonderful and we came home and took a nap. I noticed yesterday as I ate my leftovers, things seemed very very greasy. So I looked up the nutrition information…only to find out we had each consumed over 100 grams of fat and 2000 calories on our entrees alone! That doesn’t include the large amount of chips, salsa, queso and ranch. Anywho, I highly encourage you to educate yourself about what you put in your body when out to eat. http://www.brinker.com/gr/nutritional/chilis_nutrition_menu.pdf
Many restaurants have it available online now too. Anyways…back to not obsessing over what is too late to change…

This week we have quite a fun week! Here is the first half…Marshall came over for dinner on Monday night and we all went to Mi Cocina. It had been a while since I’d been there and I miss it! Lucky enough for me, the M Crowd restaurants have not gone public with their nutrition info yet! Last night was our rest night. Got to workout and watch the biggest loser. I just love that show. So inspiring. Definitely doesn’t always go how you want it to, but the purpose of the show is just so motivating. Especially when they show how far all the contestants have come in 16 weeks! Tonight we are headed out to the Ballpark in Arlington to see Padilla battle the A’s. In fact, I’m about to walk over to Subway in a few minutes to pick up sandwiches for us to take into the game with us.
