Hubby Tourney update

He won... did you expect less? he got the big fish of the day too...which actually, and also sadly, brought no money. But he got the kudos. he and his partner fished against two other teams, and they won against one and lost against one, by only a couple pounds... the couple pounds was the "one that got away"... hubby lost it, literally on his last cast of the day ! he lost him right at the boat. the one that woulda won the second team for them. but anyhow. here is a pic. he had a great time, but came home exhausted. he was so fired up about this whole tournament thing, that he stayed up talking all night with the other guys. when he got home he crashed out on the couch and fell asleep , just as i was telling him about the concert last night. God i feel so exciting. he was snoring in literally less than three minutes! but oh well.. he can read about it. hopefully he won't notice the cleaning fairy !

(the dude on your left is mine... nice fish eh?)

anyhow...
in other news.....i never made it to the grocery store today. i cleaned my house. and did a damn fine job i might add, i also took a quite lengthy nap. then i managed to make a delectable dining experience for all. how i do that with no food amazes me. but , i did have some frozen chicken breasts, and some frozen asparagus mix stuff with squash and cauliflower, and snap peas, and i had some tortellini (which i barely EVER make because it is so hard to get right...i usually don't cook it long enough)... and i had , amazingly enough, some alfredo sauce..in a jar. so... i boiled my frozen chicken..because i forgot to thaw it... while that was boiling, i boiled the tortellini...for twice as long as the directions said to!... it turned out perfecto! i also nuked the frozen vegies for a couple minutes... then , i cut up the almost done chicken, and stir fried it the rest of the way, added the veggies, some spices etc... cooked that for a while... let the torts go for a while... when all was complete... i drained what needed to be drained, combined what needed to be combined, stirred, tossed, salted, and served. and i will be damned, if it was not THE BEST tortellini dish i have ever cooked in my entire life ! and i thought we would end up going out tonight. HA. how do i do it????
ok.. well, that's about it. tomorrow i really do have to go to the grocery store. i also need to make sure i know where to take the kid to go to summer school. she starts that on Monday. we thought she failed two classes, but found out that she only failed math... so she only has to take one class. math, of course. so, in a way, that's cool... but in a way... i'm pissed. 200.00 for one hour a day, for three weeks..... it may be good for her.. i really do hope she learns something, and gets the hang of whatever it is she isn't "getting"..... but for me... ugh. no bus service... which i had threatened her with.. as a sort of motivational tool. ya right. but i have to go out and take her to and from school... for one hour a day. blah.
ok. i am done for the day.
i hope y'all are having a good weekend.
tomorrow i hope i will find some time to fish at the pond, but i don't know if i will or not.
i really want to get on the lake...but the boat is still broken. still not sure what the problem is... but everything we seem to come across that could be it... looks like a very expensive deal. even if hubby fixes it... a fuel pump alone.. if that is the problem... could cost like 400.00 ! for a fuel pump !!!! then, it could be the computer. ACK. hundreds !!!! who knows???? i don't even wanna think about it right now
night all

Yeah for the hubby... and yeah for you for getting the house cleaned and making a wonderful supper - it sounded so good! My sympathies to you on being the summerschool taxi, and the cost - OMG. Did you tell her it comes out of her allowance? hehe

EE said...

Those are some big ole fishes!!
Since you are in cleaning mode, will you please come over and clean my house??????
Summer school is only one hour? What is she taking?

SOUL said...

josie... the kid will not do her chores...therefore...her allowance is always withheld anyhow. so...that wouldn't work. good idea though.

ee...at first...like weeks ago...the worry was... history, math AND english!!! BUT, the last two or three weeks of school, she knuckled down and busted butt.... bad thing...she waited too long...but she did manage to pull through history and english! phew! so the end result was she only failed math, and that is what she will take in summer school ... dammit.
she is just so smart, none of this should have happened. she just didn't do her work. or she would do it and not turn it in. the only class she actually did struggle with was math. soooo. anyhow. yep. it'll be a pain. but i can't change it. may as well just deal with it eh?
well..i must go to sleep
oh...and ummm, about the cleaning, no. but if i find the cleaning fairy guy, i'll put you on the list !!!

i still remember the shock of finding out i got to pay 200.00 for summer school.what happened to "free education"?

the last time england had to go , we DID make him pay for it. but of course HE was in high school , so he had more money.

surely you can thrift store it an hour a day. lol

glad you both had a couple really good days. tell stez i said congrats on his fisheys.

that's how my husband usually reacts when i talk too. rofl!!

i bet the cleaning fairy guy would be a really good listener too. :)

SOUL said...

i thought only texas charged for SS. guess it's just a new thing. i just hope we never have to deal with it again!!!

as for the cleaning fairy... bad word... i hope he isn't a "fairy".. LOL... lets call him the cleaning "dude" eh? but as for him...
i bet he's a perfect listener, cleaner, back masseuse, comforter,..just everything..
know why? cuz dammit... the guy is just a picture. in real life... his wife is blogging about all of his snoring, socks on the floor, dishes in the living room, acting like a baby when he has a sniffle or two....etc etc.
thank god for eye candy !!!!
LOL
