Man, Mondays suck. My sleep schedule is so messed up from the weekend, that I never sleep on Sunday nights. Yeah, yeah, I could get up at 6:30 am on weekends so that doesn’t happen, but I don’t think so. That’s crazy talk. Perhaps noon was a little late to sleep on Saturday, though. Haven’t done that in a while!
Saturday’s sleep-fest was due to a night out on Friday that included going to see Rites of Passage (band from wedding) in the French Quarter. And then hanging out at the pub for a little while. It was fun.
On Saturday, we went to Dillard’s to order a mattress set after a certain unnamed furniture store (okay, Kirschman’s) neglected to hold up their end of the we-buy, you-give-us-furniture bargain. Consider yourself lucky this is a family-friendly blog. So I won’t describe them exactly the way I feel about them. Argh. It actually worked out for the best….we saved about $225 by getting the same priced mattress set at Dillard’s. Because they don’t make you pay for the bed frame. I love you Dillard’s!
Yesterday I went and saw Brokeback Mountain. Finally. Why would you name a movie so that a porn name can be so easily made from it? (Ooops, must remember “family friendly.”) But seriously. Ang Lee is genius director. First Sense & Sensibility (top 5 favorite movie of mine) and now this? Genius. What range!
Also cooked a lot this weekend. Made the most incredibly delicious roasted potatoes ever on earth, along with some yummy roasted vegetables. Gimme a vegetable and I’ll roast it every time. Mmmm. Yesterday, however, I devoted the entire day (well, okay, the Crock-pot devoted the entire day) to making a Cuban-style pork and sweet potato stew. In theory it was delicious – well, in reality it was, to George, but I never remember until I’m done with these things that I a) don’t like stew and b) don’t like pork chops. I think maybe beef stew would be better. Hmmm. Anyway.
