Well I’ve had a Market Fresh Turkey sandwich on my mind. Today I actually went to the right restaurant and got almost what I ordered. Evidently “no sauce” doesn’t include mayonnaise. I’ll have to be more specific next time. I wiped off what I could and still enjoyed my sandwich.
Wade had a lunch meeting today so I took the opportunity to get a bunch of errands done. I got my car washed, dropped off the dry cleaning, and got a haircut. Somewhere along the way I realized I also needed to get food. The idea of a Market Fresh Sandwich sounded perfect. I waited in a long line at the drive-thru, got to the microphone and ordered. The woman responds with, “Arby’s serves the Market Fresh, not us.” I look up and realize I am an idiot and had pulled into Chick-fil-A. I can’t even claim that I thought I was in the right place. I just wasn’t paying attention. I quickly ordered a chicken sandwich and got on my way…
Evidently Wade has become enthralled with googly eyes. I found them in the bathroom this morning. Who knows where they will pop up next?
A few months ago, my friend Michelle asked if I wanted to go see CATS. I hadn’t been in a long, LONG time so I said yes. When I talked to Wade, he wanted to come too. That meant Michelle bought Nate a ticket too, only he didn’t want to go. In fact, Michelle didn’t even tell him for quite a while that he was going. We all went to dinner (Flat Rock) and then spent the night at the Peace Center. Wade’s first comment at “half-time” as Nate called it, was “What the heck just happened?” Wade had heard some of the music and assumed he would like the musical. Turns out he just got confused. Michelle and I had a good time though!
I reorganized Wade’s project board. I moved all the small, quick projects to the list to be done this weekend. I’m hoping to get all the little stuff taken care of and then focus on big things. The first project Wade tackled was chopping the wood that has been sitting in our driveway for 3 months. After it is chopped, we move it to the basement to wait for next winter. I knew Wade was out chopping, but I didn’t realize everything he was up to until he showed me the pictures below:
I have tweaked my list of links over the years, but I tend to add and never subtract. As of today, if nothing has been posted in this calendar year (2007) then I am removing the link. Below is a list of the updated links and who/what the link is:
Mike’s Blog – I met Mike and Sarah Diehl while living in DC and before they were married. We ran into Mike at a church we were visiting and invited him to trivia. He came and brought his roommate Rob and we quickly formed the “dinner group”.
Traci’s Blog – Traci and her roommate, Cassie, lived in the same complex as Mike when I was in DC. They were a big part of our “dinner group”.
Rob’s Blog – Rob was Mike’s roommate. Rob now lives in Atlanta and is getting his Master’s in ID at Tech. Rob and Mike used to host the big Halloween Parties we go to in DC. Rob dates Sarah who moved from DC to Atlanta so that they could be together.
Sarah’s Blog – Sarah is Rob’s girlfriend. She and Rob started dating after I left DC, but I feel like I know her. She writes fun blog entries.
Mike 2’s Blog – Mike is a friend of Rob’s from college. He and his wife, Rob, and Sarah all live in the same apartment complex in Atlanta. I have met him a few times, but I don’t know him well. I got to his blog from Rob’s. He writes hilarious entries.
Steven’s Blog – Although Steven and I were at Tech at the same time, I met him through a friend in DC. He wanted to work at the patent office. When I lived in Atlanta he lived a few streets away. Now he still works in Atlanta and dates a nice girl.
Lindsay’s Blog – Lindsay was one of the first people I met at Catalyst Church. Very active and always friendly, Lindsay always has something going on.
Upshaw’s Pictures – I have mentioned the story behind Toadfrogs and Elephants before. Ben Upshaw was an original Toadfrog. He married Stephanie and they now have a daughter, Liza, and a second daughter due in October.
Melilla’s Blog – I met Travis Jones while at Governor Scholar’s Program in high school. We have kept up through the years and this is a blog about his daughter.
Matt’s Gallery – Matt Hodges was one of the first friends I made in DC. He was always up for a lively debate or any other crazy stunt I had planned. Matt recently passed away, but I am not ready to remove his gallery from my list.
Mission to Ethiopia – Lea Ann and her husband, Jim, were the very fist people we met at Catalyst Church. She and her husband took a mission trip to Ethiopia and are planning another one soon.
American Brittany Rescue – Wade and I often take in foster dogs for this rescue group. If anyone wants a dog, there are lots of sweet ones.
Shiny Shiny – Some days I get bored. I look at techy things.
Pop Gadget – Some days I am really bored. Then I look at wacky things.
We all went to early church and had an early lunch before Wade and I got in the car for the long drive home. We fit in a little more computer work and sorting of old stuff before we loaded up the car.
Wade and I made the long trip to Memphis last night. We left Anderson around 3 pm (eastern time), but we didn’t get in till after midnight (central time). I did manage to read a book, watch a movie, take a nap, and do a little work during the long drive. Saturday was spent with the family. Wade’s dad gave Madison a check up, we spent time just talking, and Wade played with his childhood dog – Sputnik.
This weekend was Wade’s high school reunion. He didn’t really want to attend any of the events, but he did want to see some of his friends. We met up with them Saturday evening and spent some time looking at pictures and watching old home videos. It’s amazing how much people change in ten years!
After waiting over a week, Wade called the repair people to see when the necessary part should arrive. They told him that it was back-ordered from the supplier and they couldn’t even give us an estimate. The repairman suggested we call Maytag customer service and maybe we could get an answer from them. After three different answers and being disconnected four times, Wade called the VP of Costumer Service at Whirpool. He called back in a few hours. We got the necessary part the next day and were told all of our expenses (including the mini-fridge) would be reimbursed. The part arrived and the repairman was at our door 10 minutes later to install it. Turns out it was the wrong part. The first repairman had diagnosed the problem incorrectly. The man ordered the new part and promised it would be in the next day. He brought it to our house a few minutes after Wade got home and now we have a working fridge. Geez!
Wade decided to tackle can lights this weekend. He installed two in the mudroom and one in our foyer. I think they turned out pretty well. The next big project will be putting them in the two hallways and kitchen, but those projects are going to wait a while.
