Work & Play

Since I was sick last week I have a lot of make-up work to do. I didn't say much on this blog about being sick but it was pretty awful. I had the sore throat/stuffed up nose thingy. I got to use my shower soothers though (Thanks Etchen!). But now I have lots of files that need to be scanned to I will have to work double time to catch up. I don't mind since I have a bunch of new DVDs to pop in while I scan. Ah, technology rocks!

*Baseball section feel free to skip * The Astros had a really bad weekend. Not a single win. Oh well, only the rookies pitched and they are still doing pretty good for rookies. I think RoyO or Andy Pettitte will pitch tonight. The good news is that just in a week or so we play the Rockies all over again and we can return the favor of a sweep ;) *Baseball section over*

Friday was my mom's birthday. I took her casino-ing. We had an awesome steak dinner on Saturday at the steak house at the casino. They had these corn muffins there but the were not your ordinary corn muffins. Oh no, they were blue corn chipotle muffins. They were served warm with fresh butter and they just melted in your mouth. Plus, the mac n cheese had green chiles, bacon and cilantro in it. My ribeye steak was so heavenly. It was really reasonable too (about $25 a person). The funniest part to me was that she didn't want a birthday cake, she wanted Krispy Kreme doughnuts instead. Oh well, it was her birthday and queen for the day.
