ISSA GOTDAMN WEEKEEEEEND THREAD

[Timothy225]

Ugh. Weekend from hell so far. The starter on Jen's car was stuck in the "ON" position, necessitating running it to the local STS. They couldn't do anything about it, but suggested we take it to the GM dealership in Lakewood. They can fix it, but it may not be ready until Tuesday. Turns out it's a problem GM itself knew about, and contacted their mechanics only, not the rest of the world (Jen drives a late-model Saturn), so we're hoping it'll be covered under the car's warranty. It also means I'll be getting to work later for the next couple of days (of course, I'm busy as hell this coming week).

Plans to see Predators were delayed as a result, so I'm hoping to catch it with my brother-in-law later today.

I'd fight a pack of Mel Gibsons for Waffle House right now, and I ain't even stoned.

I do so love those patty melts and those hashbrowns scattered and smothered!

[Ingrid]

Mmmmmm, delicious waffle and hashbrowns(scattered and covered, please). It was tasty!

[Howard]

Hashbrowns need to be the following: county, covered, smothered and chunked. Anything else is FAIL.

[Ingrid]

Yeah, I like chunked every once in a while, but I hate (hate, hate HATE!) onions. so there you go...

[Lisa]

It was tasty!

So you guys eventually went?

[Ingrid]

Yup. I should have been doing something to lose weight, but....

[Lisa]

Oh, and here's something bizarre! My mom called a short time ago, but while calling me, she accidentally mis-dialed my number. She was only off by one digit - that's all, just one - and still wound up on the phone with a woman named Lisa at the wrong number!

Man, this weekend has kicked ass so far:

Saturday morning (early) we saw the kids off with the inlaws for their epic journey to BC. We promptly went back to bed, then after a few hours of extra sleep, went to Costco and blew a bunch of money on random shit for the house. I got one of those fancy cutting boards that have a strainer built it (really cool for washing and cutting vegetables), a new double goose down pillow, some books, etc. etc. Then we went shopping for a few more hours, and got some pizza to bring home. After pizza (around 7pm) we went to the local driving range and hit a bucket of balls. My wife has had clubs for awhile now (hand-me-downs from my mom) but has never ever played before. I suck ass at golf so I invited my step-father along to train us. Lisa is now pretty good at golf, and I still suck because I am untrainable, apparently.

Finished the night off with a wee bit of freelance and some wine.

Today, we woke up later in the morning and went for an 11:15 tee time at a small little par 3/9-hole course in our area, then went out to lunch at a place called the Half Moon (50's greasy spoon). Spent the afternoon with me freelancing and Lisa doing yardwork, then hanging out for some down time for a few hours just now. Back on the freelance bandwagon as I type this, but man, people without kids should be happier than they are, cause this shit is fucking fun!!

Sorry to hear about your car Tim!! Save Predators till next weekend and do an Inception/Predators double-bill!!

You actually own six phone numbers and also suffer from multiple personalities. Your mom was just being nice in not toippig you off, but I thought you should know. That other Lisa? STILL YOU.

MGMT was goddamn amazing last night. For today I'll be seeing Inception and then I'll be pretty much be without money for the next two weeks.

Yay

[Shit Dickface]

fffffffffffff I really want to see Inception this weekend I hope dim sum isn't too expensive today

[Lisa]

I have a hair appt. today, thank God, because I look like a cavewoman! And then I head out to George's for the first time since our anniversary trip last month - the weekends since then I've stayed in to study. I'm finally going to get to spend some quality time with my babe!

[Ed Hocken]

When you say cavewoman? Do you mean this?
