The rest of the Memorial Day Weekend

So, on Saturday late afternoon, DH and I went to Snoopy's! It's our favorite seafood place to go to! Snoopy's is on the water, and the food is great! We enjoy looking at all of the different birds that come to roost on the posts at the boat docks. My favorite are the brown Pelicans! I love to watch them fly, and I love it when they land with their wings spread out, then settle on the post and lay their head on their chests and go to sleep. It's just awesome watching them. I also like to see the white cranes (or herons? - gotta look that up), fly in with their tall skinny necks and their great white wing span landing either on the posts, or the water, just below where we are eating on the deck. That water is filled with fish and minnows. We love to watch them catch them too! Uh-Hem... while we drink our Buds and Coronas. :) Ahhh...... I always feel so relaxed there watching the sun go down. Good evening.

So, on Sunday we went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was fantastic! I did get a taste of what Wolverine would look like on Gary's page, and some of the advertisements, but to see it on a full screen over and over again------ WOO HOO!!! Yeah, sweet eye candy. :) But, really the movie was great too! I always know that when the critics give a thumbs down to a movie, that I will really enjoy it. I learned that a long time ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, so after the movies we stopped in at Lowe's to look at some stuff that we need. Hopefully, we will be doing some remodeling, as soon as the loan is approved! Keep your fingers and toes crossed!
One of the items we have been talking about is a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System, cuz DH is tired of picking up cases of bottled water! I drink a lot of water all day, so they go fast and the $$ adds up! I had been telling him about this system, but it took until yesterday for him to actually look at one at Lowe's. AND, he would have never gone to look for one if I had not suggested for us to go in and look around. I was in the appliance area looking for new stoves and microwaves! I spent a lot of time in there. When DH got tired, he went looking around. I was excited to find him looking at that water system! So, we purchased it and it must of taken him at least 3 hours to install it!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, I started dinner while he began to install the system (uh, after I cleared out all of the cleaning products from underneath the sink)! No telling where I will put all of those bottles of household cleansors bug sprays, wasp sprays, etc., cuz the system took up a lot of room and there are so many tubes in there. He had the water off while he was working. I told him I needed water to boil the spaghetti, but I would wait till he was through. He looked at me cross-eyed; and I said unless you're hungry now...... He said "I'll turn on the water". LOL
Poor thing, tired and hungry. Ok, so while he is out back turning off the water, I'm just waiting in the kitchen. When I turn to look at the TV to kill time, I see this stream of water shooting out in a wide curve, landing on the couch! AHHHHH... (I scream).... then run for the osmosis faucet he has already installed, and I turn it to the sink and hold it there until DH comes back.
THE COUCH AND PILLOWS ARE SOAKED!! So the spaghetti has to wait until I pull everything off of the couch and soak up the excess water (most of it had soaked in the bottom of the couch, below the cushions); then put the pillows some place to dry. A wet kink in our day - LOL.
After dinner, DH finishes up. Then he tells me that he has to leave the large faucet on for 2 hours to purge it I guess - water tastes the same. THEN he tells me that the new water faucet has to remain on for 24 hours!! Do y'all realize that will be until 8:45 tonight?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, I have no water today. All that is left for me to drink is.... Wine.... beer.... diet soda (which I can only stand one in the morning and one in the evening - if any). So that leaves Wine and Beer!
I can do that! Oh, I've diluted my wine with ice, so it won't be strong. I've also left ice out to melt to actually drink water! It's been kinda fun, drinking so early in the day - LOL! Don't worry y'all, I've spread them out!
DANG! I just thought that I could have boiled some water and made some tea! DANG, that I never thought of it! Well, maybe for dinner. BESIDES, I wouldn't have a buzz right now!
CHEERS! EVERYONE!
