Back in the office on a beautiful Monday morning, and if I were feeling any better I’d have to take a pill.
Not really.
But I am in a pretty good mood. This morning I have been overwhelmed by balloon twisting inquiries for Halloween. I am slightly amazed since my balloon business is growing out of control. www.misterd.balloonhq.com I wonder how much more it would grow if I actually put time and effort into it. It’s kind of an organic growth and purely by word of mouth. No advertising at all. So far for the upcoming Halloween season, I have fielded 12 requests to twist at childrens parties. Last year I did one. I really didn’t know what to anticipate this year since last year the fall and winter were pretty slow months. It doesn’t look like things will slow down much this year and I am on pace to crack 125 events this year. Crazy.
Yesterday was my finally my first full day of Football and I must say it was pretty anti-climactic. I was too lazy to set up multiple televisions, so I just watched the Red Zone Channel while getting angry at the wireless network I recently established that will work for 5 minutes and then crash until you unplug and reset. How frusturating. I blame it on the mac notebook that I am using since I can not run the set up disk for the wireless router on a mac. I also can not run it on my home PC since it seems to have contracted the HIV. So, I wait until I finally receive the new HP notebook I bought over two weeks ago. I don’t know if I can wait another week for this damn thing.
I managed to get out of bed yesterday early enough to make breakfast for the wifey. I accidentally stumbled upon a great home made apple sauce recipe as well, and I think that might make me gay. While finishing the Pancakes and Bacon, I threw some water and sugar into a skillet. I peeled 2 apples thinking I would soften them some and display softened cinnamon apple slices on the pancakes for effect. (If you haven’t figured it out by now, I was trying to get some action from the wifey and since cooking sometimes does the trick, I was going all out.) Not really. I just like to cook. I said that action part to try and sound manly and it was a pretty bad attempt. And I like Justin Timberlake. I worry my wife sometimes. Luckily I have the “I’m Married” line to combat any “You know how I know your gay?” jokes.
So, after the apple slices had simmered in the sugar water, I added some cinnamon (without measuring because it is unmanly to measure things while you cook). I also added some freshly squeezed lemon juice. When all was said and done, I had some great tasting apples slices that tasted as if they were straight out of apple pie. After sampling the apples I decided to toss some into my magic bullet and blend them. What came out of the blender was the most amazing tasting apple sauce that I had ever tasted. It was so good that late last night I made a huge batch of the stuff. I think I had peeled 10 apples last night and finished with a gallon of fresh home made apple sauce. Good stuff.
The rest of the weekend flew bye. I was struggling on Saturday because we went down to see my family and that is never easy. The grandparents are getting older and Jeanne and I were surprised when a surprise bomb was dropped on us in response to my question as we drove by a cemetery. I will write about that tomorrow.
Got to see my nieces and nephews this weekend as well which is always great. More to come on that as well.
Have a great monday!
