Today absolutely sucks. Then again, I’ve only been about of bed for about oh, 30 minutes now. That would be because I feel like I’ve been ran over by a Mack truck. I just can’t get myself moving. I woke up with a horrible headache, so hopefully the pills I just took will start to clear my head up so I can feel normal again.
I took Hubby out for his birthday dinner last night, although that didn’t go as well as planned. We went to Applebees, and it just sucked. We used to eat there all the time, but it’s totally gone downhill.
I ordered the Shrimp ‘N Parmesan Sirloin that was very good, but Hubby’s 12oz Ribeye was disgusting. It’s marbled for a flavorful, juicy cut. I understand that, but when his steak came out it was a solid chunk of fat. He began cutting the fat away, and he was left with exactly 2 bites of actual meat. I personally can’t stand the fat. Hubby loves it, but it was even too much for him. I sent it back because I wasn’t paying $15.99 for 10 oz of fat.
The second steak was much better and looked like a marbled ribeye should, but we had to wait almost an hour for his second plate to arrive. We’d been sitting there waiting on his food for about 45 minutes when we saw the manager walking from table to table, so I flagged him down. I explained what had happened, how long we had been waiting, and how disgusted I was. His only response was “would you like me to have the meal prepared to go?”. Horrible! We will never eat at that particular Applebees again.
After we left there we stopped by our friend’s house and picked up the buckeye balls she made for Hubby. That took his mind completely off dinner, and he was happy again. Men are so easy to please!
Now, I have to jump in the shower before my sister shows up. She’s coming over at 2 to get help with her website. She can’t get anything other than dial-up at my Mom’s house, so now that I’ve got her laptop fixed I told her I’d set her up a little spot in the guest room to use as her temporary office (it’s too distracting to have someone else in my office).
Now she’ll have a chance to get back to the blog she started right before she became internet-less.
