Two down, Three to go.

Plus some irritating essay-writing to do.

Mostly better, can taste stuff now, only coughing a little bit. Yay!

WE GOT A BARBEQUE! Only a bitty wee one, but omg. Having grilled steaks last night was heaven. Well, actually, a piece of heaven. Let me explain:

Yesterday the Dude had the day off. First, we slept in until the sun crept over the sheets and made the bed too hot to stay in... or we slept in until the cats were so annoying that we had to get up to feed them. You choose your reality. lol Anyway, we slept in and then decided to go for a coffee. We drove to Starbucks and enjoyed our leisurely lattes. Then, we walked over to "the puppies and the kitties" store where we looked at all the pets and I fell in love with the 4-Paws rescue cats. Next, we drove over to the movie theatre to check movie times... but they weren't open yet so instead we went to Home Outfitters. Getting the Dude to go into a store like that was a feat of persuasion since usually he is not interested. I told him, however, that we could get BBQ tools inside. We had a great time looking at all the fun stuff and spent half an hour trying out the massage chairs. Booyah! After spending way too much money there, we went to Canadian Tire to pick up a propane tank. After filling THAT, we drove to Sobey's to buy steaks and mushrooms and um... that's it I think. O we also stopped at the liquor store and bought a bottle of Conundrum, a super-tasty white that we love. After returning home, we had some lunch and the Dude made me a 'bed' on the floor in front of the TV and put on Shrek 2 for me while he washed the dishes. :D Eventually it was suppertime and the Dude grilled the steaks and asparagus while I sauteed the mushrooms. We polished off our dinners and the wine and watched Ferris Bueller's Day off, Moulin Rouge and part of Romeo and Juliet before staggering off to bed. I'm gonna keep this perfect day in my head for a long time. :)
