Happy Memorial Day!

Hey everyone! Hope you had a teriffic weekend. I know I did!

I tried a new Chinese Place (the 3rd in Simpsonville). It earned a solid 2nd place.

I know ya'll are paying $4+ in IL, but I payed $3.99 the other day. Ouchy! To tell you the truth, the gas prices haven't really been on my mind. I only use about 10 gallons a week, even with driving on the job. It's not a deal breaker for me YET. I hope that Erin and I will be able to carpool when she finds a job down here.

I went to a new store called hhgregg. They're like a Best Buy, but with really poor selection and high prices. No thanks. Next!

Jeff Lynch is a very nice store, much like Sherman's in Peoria. They have really nice furniture and appliances, but you can tell that they have a high level of service. I liked being in there :)

Dennis and I went o Cici's for lunch on Saturday. Mmmmmmm. Bad Josh!!!
The war of the Ants rages on. This weekend, I spread a 3rd brand on the entire yard. Per the instructions (and word of mouth), this stuff should knock all of the buggers out in a couple weeks. The only downside was the price. I guess you can't put a price on your family's safety. (man, they are goooood)

I had to water the entire yard after I applied it. That took a couple hours. I got a sunburn.

DIE DIE DIE

Here's a great shot of the bales in the field next to our house. I thought it looked so peaceful and farmy. It also made the walk to Target much easier.

I couldn't resist....Faygo!!! I haven't had that in like 20 years!

When is mommy coming?? SUNDAY!!!!!!

Dennis and I had a little party at my house. We grilled out some REAL beef franks and my special burgers.

I swear that this is Dennis's plate. He has a bread phobia, so he limits himself.

He brought cake for the occasion. It was pretty darn good. Back on the wagon tomorrow, though.

I'll leave you with a shot of some balloons from the festival I mentioned last week. If I were rich, I'd take a ride on one, but I'm not, so here's a picture.

Don't forget to read my other blog post for my last week's happenings. See you later!!!!
