So it's Friday night - I'm sitting here watching the Sox - both dogs are sleeping, the kids are upstairs, and I'm enjoying another moment of peace. They have been few and far between lately. I actually poured myself a glass of red wine - haven't done that in a long time.
Rocky got out earlier - scooted right past me at the front door. He is not good off-leash - takes off every time. I looked for him, then decided to see if he came back. The kids were worried so we started the car - then the phone rang - it was one of our neighbors - Rocky and their dog were playing. I thanked him profusely and hopped in the car to go retrieve my renegade pooch. Rocky happily jumped in the car and after thanking the guys again, we drove home. Theo was quite worried and gave Rocky a hero welcome.
Amanda's cell phone was dead when I got home from work, so rather than having her with no phone all weekend (at games, etc.) I decided to jump back in the car and take her to the phone store to get it fixed or replaced. That's 40 minutes away in good weather, and we're having what feels like a monsoon. I didn't realize how bad the flooding was until we were halfway there. We made it safely - it turns out that the place that her charger plugs into had a bunch of gunk in it - the tech cleaned it out and got it working again. Saved me at least $30 to replace it - more if she had had to pick a new model. That was worth 1/4 tank of gas.
Sox are winning - I'm so glad it's the weekend. I have 3 months to lose weight before vacation. I can't seem to control my eating - I just have to get back in that mindset. Food is fuel, nothing more. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Repeat again.
My floor is being weird. The laminate that we installed is popping up a bit right outside our bedroom. It goes back down when we step on it, but then goes up again. It's not something that is noticeable, but isn't right - I don't think we can do anything about it. It still looks good.
This weekend's goals: food shopping, find books at B&N on web design, clean a little, exercise a little, rest a little. Nothing too extravagant. Amanda is scheduled to have a game tomorrow if it isn't rained out, and Mike has a car wash on Sunday if it isn't raining. I'll use that time productively.
sox are up 5-1. Keith Foulke just replaced Matt Clement and he almost let in a HR and just let up a double. Thinking they should have kept Clement in...get the phone.
Oh, and my phone just rang - Amanda's game is cancelled tomorrow. What? Nowhere I have to be at the crack of dawn? Woohoo!!

Did you have someone install the floor? It should be fixed, OK? I saw why on The People's Court, but I can't remember. LOL. True. It could be the subfloor. Anyway, even though it's not noticeable, it may compromise something, wear sooner, become a bigger problem later.
You have a brand new house, so you might as well fix it.
And then have another glass of wine. :)
