Another Week Down!

Well, this past week has been quite the eventful one. As you can see, we took Jade in for his annual shave down. Usually you will not find this cat for 2-3 days after he suffers the humiliation of being shaved, but this year he came home, knocked down the front door, and said "Feed Me"!
Speaking of feeding. We had dinner over at Dad and Mom's Saturday night. It reminded me of when I smoked a chicken all day, and it wasn't close enough to the coals. When it came time for dinner, the ham and bean soup Mom had slaved over for 18 hours, the beans weren't done. At least we didn't go without. We ate a Vegan dinner of salad and corn bread, with Flan for dessert. Unfortunetly for myself, I can't handle almond extract, so had to skip the Flan. Who came up with "Flan" as a name for a dessert anyways? It's a Latino dessert, that is what is left over from making goat cheese I think. Then they put extract of Almond over the top to disguise what is congealed underneath. At least the Latino's, unlike us Americans, well, isn't that kind of an oxymoron? Most Latino's are American's now, but anyways, they know how to use Flan!
We went to the dog park as usual, and the group who is there were all happy that I am still a non-smoker.
Oh well. I have to go get some lumber so that I can build a new set of steps, as Tiny, our Min Pin won't use the shorter one I built awhile back.
Have a great day!

Here we are on April 13th, the day after Easter, and the day I have to call my therapist after the conversations going on in this Verity Household.
There wasn't anything mean, or anything said out of alcohol, but let's just say that if I ever hear the sentence involving "spit", or hairy Europeans, I'll be in therapy for alot longer!

The meal went off very well. We had Smoked Ham, Smashed Taters, Fenel & almond green beans, and buns. The piece de resistance was desert though. Shan one upped Mom with a bannana cream pie.

I think that puts us at what? 45-45 in tennis speak?

Still a non-smoker, and frankly have to think about being a non-smoker to realize I haven't been thinking about smoking. I spoke with one of my bank partners today who told me they were quitting for their kids. I told them that they would probably fail then, cause in my opinion, which some of you think I'm a little too fond of, you have to quit for yourself, not anyone else.

On religion, I've decided I'm not overly excited about Easter. I mean, come on, if he died for our sins, then rose, couldn't he have done it on a Monday so I could have a three day weekend?
Mom and Dad brought over eggs which we hid for them, plus they brought over chocolate (like my fat butt needs any of that to take up good beer space). Mine they took their time to locate, it is a #24 Jeff Gordon Nascar made out of chocolate!

Don't care how many days!

Here we are the day before Easter, and I'm a little peeved at this man up stairs. If he died for our sins, couldn't he have done the rising on a Monday, so I'd have another three day weekend?
Jeez! Oops, I mean, Jesus, I mean, Jose Christo?
Anyways, we got a lot of things done today in preperation for tomorrows Dinner. Invited the kids, and Mom and Dad, but the kids are going to eat at his parents, so they will come over on their regular time, and miss out. That's what we have to become accustomed to. We need to swap holidays with the future in-laws for the kids.
Our buddy Brian A. was over yesterday on his way home from Tampa, so we had a few coctails, and went over our plans for the offshore grand prix this year. He and his better half, are getting married a year after, so we have to decide if we forego the races, or go to Tennessee for their wedding. Hmmm, maybe his parents will move to Florida, and they can get married at the races...
Anyways, not alot on tv tonight, but am watching Deadliest Catch, as the next season starts next Tuesday.
Alright, still not smoking, no desires to smoke, and just thought I'd drop a quick note on how things are going!

2 Full Months

Well, it's officially two full months, and no problems. Still smoke free, no thought of smoking anymore, still able to go to the bar, and am on my way there in a bit for a coctail with wife.
Gotta run!
