Busy Days

Ack! I didn't post yesterday! Broke my steak. Ah well. It was a busy day as today will be as well.

His Lordship had Thursday and Friday off, so yesterday we decided to finish up our shopping. He went with me to the grocery store, but we had to hit a brand new discount liquor store first. The grand opening is today, but they were opened if not quite set up. We got a few bottles of wine for gifts, some vodka (because - vodka!) and I got a teeny bottle of Grand Marnier as I need that for the clafoutis I'm making today. Ran into the daughter of a good friend in the parking lot (she works in the same strip mall) and I swear I thought she was her mom! I'm sure she loved hearing that!

Onward to grocery shopping. Now I'm a power shopper and like to get in, get my stuff and get the heck outta there. His Lordship likes to "wander" as he hardly ever goes with me. It's slightly frustrating, but I just move past him and tell him to catch up. Luckily he doesn't put too much in the cart that I don't want/need.

Came home, put stuff away, had lunch and my back was definitely starting to bother me. Maybe I was tense? Maybe it was leftover UTI stuff? Maybe it was the yoga I did the day before? Who knows, but it was really bugging.

We went to Cost Plus World Market (I put the whole name in as that's how it shows up when you google it), got a gift for my friend's grandkids she has custody of and stocking stuffers. I had been driving, but told His Lordship he had to drive home. That's how bad my low back was hurting. After we got home, I took some Aleve and a quick nap. When I got up, it was better.

I made "Eggplant David"; which is a dish my dad made up. It's eggplant (or aubergine for you UK folks), chicken, tomato puree, mozzarella cheese and some cheddar cheese. Yummy.

We watched some bad tv, got some gifts wrapped to give away and just were. Nice evening.

Today I'm baking cookies and His Lordship is off to a friends house to show him his go-pro attached to the MINI. That man. That car. *sigh*

Tonight, we have a party to attend, but it won't last long. My friend who had surgery is having a birthday party for her husband and I don't want to overstay. We made crab dip and it's 'melding' in the fridge. I imagine we'll be home by 9.

I'm off, have a great Saturday my flist!

Sorry your back is bugging you but it still sounds like a good couple days. The mister is a grocery store wanderer also but he does put weird things in the cart that I have to deal with down the road. it's like a game show.

I do enjoy his company, but I get really tired of hearing, "Do we need this, that, whatever?". If it ain't on my list...I don't need it!

Back is better. I think I tweaked it during yoga. It happens!

I hope your back starts to feel better.

I don't bother taking my husband to the grocery store. He gets shopping amnesia. LOL.

Eggplant David sounds wonderful!

Everything is fine now. Probably just too much standing about. It cracks me up when I see guys at the grocery store, scratching their heads.

My dad was a wonderful cook!
