Is anyone surprised about Robert Blake?
I have to say this - dinner was DELISH tonight! I done good - the steaks were perfect! I made the kids Salisbury Steaks (they love those) with tater tots. I made a huge salad and threw in some Chinese noodles. The kids scarfed everything up tonight. I made Roasted Red Potatoes with rosemary.. they turned out pretty good. Paul didn't like them. The next time I make them, I will use garlic instead. "Singin' in the Rain" is on now. I can watch that at any time. Prime Time pretty much sucks, in my opinion. Oh - I finally saw "Me, Myself, and Irene" last night on HBO. I laughed SO hard... oh my gosh. I have to buy it on DVD. If there's any uncut stuff, I want to watch that!
Laundry Update - 4 loads down (folded or hung AND put away)... 3 to go.. Some days I even amaze myself.
Just talked to my Dad about half an hour ago. He is home.. and very tired. He has 3 blockages... the main one is 98%. The other 2 blockages are ONLY 90% and 88%!! Poor Dad. I am hoping to visit him this weekend...
Mom just left a little while ago. She came down for lunch and to drop off a few things. She seemed pretty perky today.. I hope it lasts. She's going to IKEA on Saturday without me ::SOB:: So - I gave her a list of stuff to pick up for me! Doea anyone want to come over and fold laundry for me? It's only 6 loads.. well.. actually 7, if you count the one in the washer. I'll cook dinner! ::looking hopeful:: Heck - I am grilling steaks tonight!
Heard from my StepMom - Dad's procedure is finished. He has 3 blockages.. one of which is 98% blocked. He has to go back to the hospital next week for an angioplasty and stent on the 98% blockage. If that doesn't "take", he needs to have a bypass ::sigh:: Overall, the doctor was pleased that Dad was in such good health.. if he wasn't, well, things would have been a helluva lot worse. ::knocking wood:: He will also have to have the other 2 blockages taken care of soon.
:::groan::: Daylight .... ack...
I could also use a few prayers to go out to my Dad - he is getting having a cardiac catherization done today(Thursday). I need all the good news I can get,
Today would have been my Nana's 79th birthday today... God.. I miss her so much..
