Here is a Reader's Digest recap of our weekend.

Friday night

Watched Sin City. Loved it. I want to read the comic books now. Grilled the last of our pork tenderloin on the grill. Ate that with corn and a tomato.

Saturday

McDonalds for Egg McMuffins to eat in the car while driving to the Fisher Nut thrift store. Bought about $23 of stuff. Best part was the self-service peanut butter machines. One had just peanuts, the other had peanuts and carob chips mixed in. The result is a delicious chocolaty peanut butter. I will definitely stock up on both of those the next time we go back.

Went to the Woodfield Mall which is just a few miles from the peanut factory. Just got some Starbuck's coffee drinks and people-watched in big comfy couches in the middle of the mall. Sheri had her usual iced coffee, and I had a tall decaf triple Americano. Delicious. I never ordered it decaf before, but I could not tell the difference.

Before we left Sheri was getting hungry so she got some pretzel sticks from Auntie Anne's and a Diet Coke for me. Auntie Anne's pretzels are NOT pretzels. They are sweet bread sticks with coarse salt and butter added to their exterior. If you want a sweet salty buttery breadstick, to ahead and get one, but if you want something that tastes like a good traditional pretzel, the frozen ones you get at the grocery store and microwave are much better. A good pretzel should be more like a bagel than a breadstick.

Went to Meijer and got an electric hair clipper for me. My hair cut is so simple (a number 2 on the sides and a number 6 on the top) we thought we would give it a try at home. If we replace three haircuts at the barbershop we will have paid for the clippers plus a little extra. Our first try actually looks pretty good.

Watched The Ring Two. Sheri actually watched it. I played a new type of puzzle that I have been getting into. We had ham sandwiches and some corn for dinner.

Sunday

Went for an 11.6 mile bike ride. Half way through we stopped at the dog park to watch dogs. Not many dogs there today. We don't know why, because it was beautiful. I packed ham sandwich for brunch.

Got home. Showered. Rested.

Went out and got our propane tank refilled. About $22 with tax. Is that high? It seemed high to me.

Dropped that off at home.

Went to A&W Root Beer for Dinner. Sheri had a chicken sandwich. I had a chili dog and lots of delicious diet root beer. We split a small order of onion rings.

Went to Lowe's and got a hatchet.

Went to Office Depot and got two black ink jet cartridges.

Stopped at McDonalds to get an ice cream cone to split.

Got home and watched some Sunday night Fox TV. (Simpson's, Family Guy, etc.)

Moved the party upstairs, getting ready for bed.
