Send her some love

My dear wife is home sick for the third day in a row today. She has a pretty awful respiratory bug that has had her up coughing every night, and feeling crummy during the day. She finally got a decent night’s sleep last night after I got her some NyQuil, but she’s still feeling pretty rotten.

Won’t you be kind and send her some well-wishes? I’ve disabled commenting on this post, so please drop her an email or an IM directly. If you don’t know her address or screen name, you can find that information on the ***Contact Us|http://prwdot.org/contact.html*** page linked from the top left corner of ***our site|http://prwdot.org/***.

New Jersey Pork Chop

This is the pork chop that I had for dinner tonight:

Becky and I thought that it looked like New Jersey. I’d sell it on eBay, except I’ve already eaten it. It was delicious. The recipe: put frozen pork chops in slow cooker. Cover with italian dressing. Cook on low for eight hours. Yum.

Quarters and Ocean’s

I seem to always find the best deals while shopping with ***Jenn|http://junefourteenth.blogspot.com***. Last time it was some cool cheap stuff at Ikea in Paramus and this time the bargins were found in the $1.00 section of Target. Now, you might think that $1.00 is pretty cheap, but we found a section that was 75% off. That’s right, foks, lots of good junk for just a quarter! So, we filled a little basket with our treasures and off we went on our merry way!

Later in the evening we hit the Loews theater for a showing of ***Ocean’s Twelve|http://oceans12.warnerbros.com/flash.html***. I must say that I enjoyed it. The cast was entertaining and there were a number of great cameos. I loved Ocean’s Eleven which was a shiny, slick, clever movie. It’s sequel felt more like a frat party and it was nice to be invited.

A very nice evening all around and made even better by the discovery on Monday morning of the current airing of “Ed” on TNT 🙂 WooHoo! Shave my Poodle!

Tonight Becky and I hosted a small but fun Napoleon Dynamite viewing party at our apartment. One of the highlights was the taking of Glamour Shot photos. All of the photos from tonight, including the Glamour Shots, can be found ***here|http://gallery.prwdot.org/nd_party***.

My (Self-Assigned) Title

Chief Purchaser Of Unnecessary But Nonetheless Yummy Grocery Items

I think that the proclivity that caused me to assume this title is something that I picked up after 20 years of living with the King POUBNYGI, my father (Mom, I am sure you can chime in with some examples…). Becky is usually far too sensible, health-conscious, and thrifty to make such purchases herself, so the extremely difficult task usually “falls” to me.

Tonight I picked up a bag of “Hint of Lime” Tostitos, a package of AriZona diet iced tea mix, and two half-gallons of Edy’s ice cream. (Side note: at Stop and Shop, there is almost always at least one brand of ice cream that is on sale. This time it was buy-one-get-one-free for Edy’s ice cream.)

A POUBNYGI’s job is never done.
