Real Life: May 29th - 31st

We now return to our regularly scheduled life: overwhelming email inbox, followed by frantic catch up with work stuff, and a swiftly approaching weekend. The Bahamas were amazing. We didn't get back home till late, late, late last night and I'm still a little loopy, quite frankly. But it's good to be home, even with a mountain of laundry looming in front of me like some sort of evil, domestic mirage.

This weekend, shall we?

Tonight: Bug is craving Indian, which is always all right in my book. He has, however, proposed an interesting plan. How do you all feel about trying the Tandoori Hut again? I don't know what it's actually called, but it's the Indian place there at the corner of Fyler & Hampton. The place that used to be a Pizza Hut. The service has been sketchy in the past, but where would we be without supporting our local business owners? While the restaurant has been dead to me for some time, I think I am willing to give it another shot. After all, life is nothing without adventure. So let me know, are you feeling adventurous?

We will take a vote. Here's your options: Tandoori Hut (adventure) or India's Rasoi (tried & true). Place your vote in the comments below. Let me know if you are up for one or either. Voting ends at 5pm, since I will have to call to make reservations for us then. Let's hear it for democracy!

Tomorrow: Daytime will probably be quickly passed pulling weeds in the garden, unpackening, and clean laundry-fying the old homestead. Evening will find me watching hockey. It's the finals, finally. Red Wings vs. Penguins. EDIT: Starts at 7pm. BYOB. You are welcome to join, but as always, stragglers may have to sit on the floor cushions, especially now that the NEW COUCH has a strict 3-person limit. Maybe 3-person plus baby, but we don't want to push it. On a semi-related note, anyone know where I can find some nice throw pillows?

Sunday: Chillaxin' prolly.

How about you? How's your weekend shaping up? Anything fun/exciting going on?

Tonight: I may or may not be able to make Indian food. I'd like to, but am trying to clean up the house for: Ice Cream Social/belated b-day/booz (I spelled it that way deliberately that time!) 9 pm-ish. I will provide some mixers, ice cream, fluff, choc sauce, ice, and a couple of alcoholic beverages--bring whatever else you'd like!

Tomorrow: I *might* go to the Renaissance Faire? I *might* go to a niece-style b-day? I *might* go to a softball/bbq thingee. Not sure how it's all going to shake out. If I'm not totally wiped out by all of that activity, I will pop in for hockey excitement--GO WINGS!

Sunday, it's work for me.

I would also like to propose a trip to the Sci Fi Lounge some upcoming Tuesday or Thursday (the only nights they're open, as it's sort of a private club-thingee). That place is amazing! Books, collectibles, Nintendo, dioramas, sodee pop...

Tonight: Though I'm all in favor of giving Tandoori Hut chance after chance after chance, I think tonight I will skip it - we're giving the old "early bedtime for babies" thing a try again, plus Porkchop gets back in town at, like, 8. However, I have every intention of sneaking out for a short visit to Demanda's for birthday ice cream, leaving a hopefully-sleeping baby at home w/ Hubby Porkchop.

Saturday: Maybe watching some softball, maybe just focusing on the amazing quantity of weeds in the yard.

Sunday: Supposed to be hot - maybe something water-related?

It may be apparent, but put my vote in for the Clay Hut. Afterwards, if I am not dead tired (or dead, I guess) I'd like to eat some ice cream at Demanda's place.

Tomorrow I have a goal of picking out a top 20 or so of my Bahamas photos to spam you all with. And maybe a top 100 for the masochists out there.

Sunday my goal is to prepare for this insane idea of working 5 days in a row. I'm only barely making it this one day. (I thought Obama promised we'd get 6-day weekends. Where's that promise now, eh? Politicians!)

btw, please leave me a message on my cellular if we end up going to Tandoori Hut.  Count me out if it's anywhere else - i'm already going to be late as it is... class goes until almost 7.30 now.  but this IS THE LAST CLASS until August.  YAY!

Sorry for the late response! We're actually unable to attend dinner this evening (India's Rasoi would have been my vote, but I probably would have given Tandoori Hut a third chance to be halfway decent if I were going out).

Tomorrow day I'll be working on projects X, Y and Z. Tomorrow night we're dining with my siblings and their spouses.

Sunday I'll be reading proposals. Sunday night I'll be having dinner at Katie's mom's house.

Tandoori Hut it is! We will give it one more chance. Hopefully, it will reward us with delicious paneer and naan and such. I will try to text all those in need of texting.

See you at teh CLAM for ice cream later, if you can't make it to dinner.
