bare bare bare essentials

i walk by this cute house in our neighborhood all the time.
yesterday was SUCH a long day. i woke up at 7:45 from a call from work saying that the spa would be closed again due to repairs not being done yet. then the cable guy called at 8 and said he'd be here in 15 minutes... even though he was scheduled to come between 9-11.... anyway. two men were here for 2 1/2 hours setting up uverse and now we have cable and internet. it's been so long since i've watched cable... really watched. i'm still really ADD when it comes to tv. as i sit here writing the price is right is on and i can't believe my eyes. drew carey lost so much weight. it's insane.

anyway, after the cable guy left matt and i went out to do errands for like 6 hours. first we went to bedner's farmers market. then we picked up an old vintage stool we found on craigslist. then we dropped off the groceries. after that we had to go get matt's paycheck from work, go to the bank, then drive all the way to coral springs to pick up a bookshelf we found on craigslist. then we went shopping at whole foods. then we went to try and find someone's storage unit to pick up a kitchen wine/storage rack but the guy who was supposed to meet us never met us... so we drove home. we got back around 7 and started making dinner...shrimp tacos. mmm mmm. they were good. matt's mom came over for like 3 hours. we enjoyed some beers together and tried to rearrange some things in the apartment but there's some work to be done today. we have to put our books away. most of them are still in boxes. we need to find some patio furniture and plants for our little deck. it's so bare.

i'm attempting to make some chicken stock today. it'll be my first time... so we'll see how it turns out.

he's back at ninos yes... but we are trying to get him to work at city oyster!

Dana Richards said...

Oh yeah!?? I think I know someone who works there, let me know if you need me to put in a good word! That would be great for him not to have to drive all the way to west Boca haha
