Doing the Laundry

Yep - it is an exciting day.  I have been helping Bentley clean his house and I think I vacuumed for 2 hours.  There is a small dog in the trash.  Coco is shedding and it is not pretty.  Today we took a walk and Coco went in a small creek - his favorite thing to do in the whole world.  Wet dog odor is his specialty.  He is so happy it started to rain because I think he was starting to sense there was a bath coming. 

I am alternating between laundry, reading and watching tv.  Tonight the real excitement will come when I actually cook a meal.  It's been a while since I've done that.  The menu:  Steamed cabbage w/ crushed red pepper and HOT Italian sausage, roasted potatoes, carrots and mushrooms.  We will need the veggies to counter the sausage - I could start to sweat just thinking about it. 

Tomorrow morning I have another doctor appointment for a physical and it's with someone new.  I hate going to the doctor - any doctor and a new one makes me also start to sweat just thinking about it. 

I went to my friend's house warming and it was also a jewelry party - WOW that was fun.  I had to buy a few things - just to be supportive you understand.  Thank goodness I was not able to stay and have a few drinks because I would have probably spent even more.  She made the best guacamole.  I will be buying the stuff to make it this week because I'm still thinking about it. 

No I didn't get any yesterday at the Cinco de Mayo thing at our favorite place.  Bentley is usually a pretty patient, calm, nice guy but due to recent events he is on the edge of some real ugliness and I am really hopeful that I won't be around when it happens.  He ordered a steak biscuit and got sausage, he ordered a club sub and they didn't remember the bacon, and last night at our FAVORITE mexican restaurant he stated - "I will never come here again!" and he had evil in his eyes.  We arrived and found a mass of people.  The outside dining was extended and there was a bouncy house.  As we entered it was apparent we werent' in Kansas anymore because there were police officers explaining how you have to show your ID and get a band to order a drink.  The anxiety started with the crowd and loud music.  As we sat down - I wanted to go.  Bentley said - no its ok - we'll just see how it goes.  Then they are charging double for beer and he is mad b/c they are gouging people due to the party.  He agreed we should have left because it was a club feel instead of relaxing dining experience.  A club but with kids, and in my opinion kids should not be around that many drunk people and that kind of noise level.  I have a feeling the next experience he has where is receives poor service, doesn't get what he expects or is overcharged - he is going to let whoever it is have it.  Again - I hope to avoid it but almost wish it would happen soon so he can get it out and we can go back to my favorite place.
