8-24-09 Monday (Franken----)

The plan was to get up early and get stuff accomplished.  It was 8am, Jim still slept.  I did laundry figuring the washer noise and vibration would get him out of bed.  No luck.  I remembered he had complained of a sore throat yesterday.  I figured he was sick and wanted to sleep in.  Later he awoke, but went back to bed.  Yep, he felt ill.  I went to the public showers so as not to disturb him.  I know… I’m sweet.  You in the back, shut up and stop heckling me.  As I was about to go out and do some grocery shopping, he emerged from the cave and was “well”.  After he was ready for the day, errrrr, afternoon, we took care of Ann’s leaking fridge, did some banking, returned home, ate a snack, did 35 minutes cardio, went swimming, showered, and then made dinner.

We had veggie burgers for dinner.  Consumer Reports said Morning Star did the best, with Boca burgers as a runner-up.  The other day we purchased both figuring we’d both have 1 of each and see what was better.  The winner was the Morning Star.  I put fat free yellow American on each of mine and Jim used a low fat Colby on his.  He used reduced fat olive oil mayo, I used nothing, mostly so I could experience the flavor on its own.

I plan to check Costco to see what they have.  Liz said via Facebook that they have a black bean kind.  We’ll be glad to go to a Costco rather than Sam’s. 

We went over to Grandma’s for some Rummikub play action.  We all love the game.  We need to teach her how to play Phase 10.

The picture below is Jim’s creation of left over soap.  We dub thee Frankensoap.

I really have no idea why he made it.  Tired of wasting left over soap?  The challenge?  The expense?  Thrifty?  Cheap?  Not real sure.

Well, perhaps tomorrow we’ll get more accomplished than today.
