Busy week this week. Both bunko and bible study. Throw those in with normal gym nights and that's a lot of late nights.
Tuesday: Bunko was at the new gal, Sherri's, house. She lives on Sawmill between Pearson and Nunneley so at least it was at the south end of town. It was freezing cold that night and actually snowing/slushing when I arrived. Since bunko didn't start until 6:30 I stopped at my friend, Rhonda's, house. Rhonda used to be in our bible study, but is currently undergoing chemo for her recently diagnosed breast cancer. She looks good (bald), but tired. It was good to see her. At bunko I won 'most bunkos' with three and won a leaf stepping stone with a hide a key frog on it. Don't be jealous, trust me.
Wednesday: We had a stay at home night so we could enjoy our Netflix movie that came that day in the mail. We watched Pride & Glory. It was a cop movie that came out last year with Colin Farrell and Edward Norton. It was good but a little violent in parts. Ok, a lot violent in parts.
Thursday: Since it was our last work day of the week, Kari and I wore our awesome holiday shirts. We have shirts for Valentine's, St. Patrick's, 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas. We're that cool. We didn't forget to wear our heart earrings, too. Bible study was at Kari's this week. Her husband made a delicious chicken taco soup in the crock pot which really just looked like diced tomatoes and chunks of chicken, but it was soooo flavorful. To go with it Kari made a taco salad. Good, but Little Man's taco salad (with the 1000 island dressing) will always be my favorite. Her dessert though was to die for. Homemade rice pudding with Kahlua. Oh my God it was so good. She'd also mixed in "gourmet" raisins. They were HUGE. More like figs. I must get the recipe.
Friday: We'd both taken the day off because it was supposed to be the first day of the race season, but we'd already decided earlier in the week to skip it. Chris would be rushed to get the car ready in time and it was being forecast with a 100% chance of rain that day. Since we stayed home it of course rained before we woke up and then didn't start again until late afternoon. Typical. But it was bitterly cold, even in Chico. Instead we did some grocery shopping at CholoMaxx, picked up "W." at a redbox and got some photos printed at Walmart.
Today we went and saw "The International" with Clive Owen. It was good. Since it was opening weekend there were a lot of people though. After the movies we went over to LensCrafters in the mall to check out their frames. They always advertise these great $100 deals, but those are only for cash only transactions. You don't get any discounts or sales if you try to use your eye insurance. That made them just as expensive as our doctor's office, so we're just going to go through them. Apparently they work late (until 6pm) on Tuesdays so we're going to try to swing over there and pick out some frames for him and get both pairs ordered. We made a special Valentine's dinner at home. I baked a stuffed pork chop (yes, I still dislike pork chops in general, but I did have a small piece) from S&S, green beans with bacon and mash potatoes with gravy. We washed it all down with some wine. Cab for him, White Zin for me. Then I get to run it all off later at the gym. Good times.
