Love Saturday

So, I just got today off too. Love it! I guess if I talk about having time off on my blog I get time off. Do you think that will really work for my Bill Gates handout too? Probably not. In any case, I plan to spend the rest of the day BBQing and having some drinks with friends. Now, that is a good Saturday.

Kate agreed to do a blog this upcoming week with her updates on all things wedding. Don't expect my same level of humor. Well, of course, she is funny, but is she really funnier than me? I guess i will let you decide when she posts. Who would of thought I would host a guest blogger? Wasn't I just living alone and waiting for handouts at gas stations a year or so ago?

Well, I guess time flies. And speaking of time I am off to enjoy the rest of my weekend. I have to shop and prepare for this BBQ. Well, I guess that means I now have to figure out what to grill. Steaks, shrimp, chicken? Do I have to do a vegetable? Ah, decisions, decisions.

Be in touch soon. Adios.

Can You Say "Happy Belated Father's Day?"

I have heard Happy Belated Birthday, but I wasn't sure if the same "belated" wishes could apply for any holiday. If they can... well you know what I am about to say. To all my guy friends and family that have kids Happy Belated Father's Day. And, there you go.

I can describe what I did yesterday to celebrate Father's Day in two words. BBQ meat. It felt like my Dad and I had a marathon going of BBQing, eating, and drinking. Seriously, I am going to say that we were outside doing these three activities for about 4 to 5 hours. It was great in case you were wondering. I can't even begin to describe the amount of meat we purchased, cooked, and ate. It felt like we couldn't get enough. Maybe it was that whole protein thing doesn't fill you as fast as carbs. Who knows.

Do you ever wonder how people from different backgrounds celebrate holidays? Sure, you know how your family celebrates, but how do the uber-rich like Gates celebrate? Does he even have kids? In any case those are the thoughts that run through my mind and the same thoughts you are forced to read if you follow my blog. Don't lie... you know you love it.

Potato Salad and Me

And, I am back. Kate's Mom was at the door dropping off some platter so we could bring potato salad to the party. Kate has this AMAZING recipe I think that her Mom created and they have this one platter that perfectly fits two full batches of the recipe. It seriously is the best potato salad you have ever had. Not too much mayo, the perfect amount of seasoning, and they use all different kinds of potatoes. Hungry?! Alright, back to the pig... It was weird to watch and wonderful to eat.

If I had to rank the whole experience I would give it a 9 out of 10. The only reason I would avoid 10 out of 10 is all the labor it took into the whole production. As you know I am no longer about handouts and not waiting for Gates to give me another car. In any case, my BBQ adventures are not over for the weekend. We are off to one last BBQ (chicken for this one) tonight and then back to the normal work week tomorrow.

Hope you all had a great weekend too. Starting to think every weekend should be a full three days. It's hard to argue that isn't it?

Happy Memorial Day!

And, a Happy Memorial Day to you. So, are you hung over or still feeling good? I myself am feeling great. Someone very close to our family and group of friends made me realized that I have yet to share the wedding date. And, to that person I would like to say I KNOW! Things have changed a bit and well, the date is something that we are not 100% sure about and most likely won't be until the "save the dates" officially go out. So, yes everything was postponed. Save the dates, invites, and all the good stuff.

What can I say. Things got a little complicated. Now, back to this wonderful long weekend that is about to end. For Kate and I this weekend was a wonderful combination of everything we love and like to do. Hanging out with good friends, family, a few drinks and well, the most wonderful BBQ ever. One of our good friends purchased a whole pig (yes, I said whole pig) and roasted the thing in his back yard.

Hold on, doorbell. No, it not Gates. BRB.
