I had a very relaxing day here at the house today.  I got up and got the smoker ready and spent the majority of the day smoking a couple slabs of ribs.  All three of the kids were at work and the wife went on a shopping spree for the girls to purchase them back to school clothes.  In between the times I had to tend to the smoker I spent some time cleaning up some files on my laptop and removing unused programs to make room for more pictures.  I even got to watch some pre recorded Perry Mason shows to help pass the time.

Tomorrow will be spent much the same way except I have plans on doing some riding tomorrow being that I won’t have to be tending to a smoker.  The kids will be at work again and the wife will be doing some grocery shopping.  Nothing exciting but hopefully another relaxing day before the work week begins on Monday.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

I got out of bed and looked out the window to see a peaceful ocean this morning.  The past few mornings the waves had been breaking as far out as far as the eye could see but today not so.

Kids wanted to do some shopping so instead of wasting valuable beach time I told them we could go on our way home today.  For two hours I sat on an outside bench while my wife and kids went shopping at the outlet mall.  I didn’t mind one bit. I sat there a did what I like the most which is people watch.  Believe me, there were a lot of people to watch.

We arrived home to find two very angry cats.  They didn’t appreciate us leaving them to fend for themselves.  We always leave plenty of food and water for them while we’re gone.  We also allow my sister in law to come and check on them at least once a day but they always manage to get mad and leave “gifts.”  The female quickly got over it but the male still hasn’t come to terms with us being home just yet.  Come morning he’ll be ok.

I feel very blessed to have finally it to this weekend.  I thought this day would not end.  I do not have to go back to work until Monday.  Tomorrow will be spent taking my wife out to lunch being that I had to work late on the day of our anniversary.  Afterwards I’m going to search for a smoker to smoke some ribs on Saturday.

I will not be seeing much of my twin daughters this weekend and that doesn’t set well with me. They both will be working.  They are only 17 and I really wished I could have talked them into not working their last summer before their senior year.  But, one daughter loves to shop and thinks she has got to go shopping EVERY WEEKEND and my wife simply complies to her wishes instead of arguing with her.  One thing that I don’t understand, and maybe it’s because I’m a male but why would you need to purchase a dress and wear it to one event and not be able to wear it to another event two weeks later.  My daughters excuse is because people may have already seen her in that other dress. Really?  So her closet if filled with dresses that she’s only wore once and more than likely will not wear again because someone else has already seen her in it.  The do shop well though.  She will find a dress that normally sells for $160 and find it on sale for $30 bucks.  Both my daughters are very smart shoppers and who ever marries them will be happy for that.
