Why does my husband always bring home the wrong stuff?

February 19, 2010 by Tricia

Sometimes I wonder where my husbands head is at.

The other night, when he came home from work, I sent him out to the store to get some supplies I needed for the dinner I was making that night and to get us some allergy medication as we’d run out.

My husband and I both take allergy meds because we’re allergic to our dog. Yeah – we are. However the meds help us tolerate her without too many allergy related symptoms.

Anyway, my husband came home with the groceries that I’d asked for, but instead of getting a generic brand allergy medication he somehow managed to pick up supplements for weight loss.

How the heck did he do that? I’m pretty sure the weight loss stuff isn’t near the allergy stuff and uh the medications or supplements used in either product are different.

needless to say he had to go back to the store to return what he’d bought and get the correct allergy meds.

He does stuff like this all the time – even with a grocery list with the correct names of things I want written down. Is this just a guy thing or what?

Father in law going in for a procedure

February 18, 2010 by Tricia

My father in law is having a gastroscopy tomorrow. Much better than a colonoscopy … but still he’s kind of nervous.

He’s apparently been having some trouble swallowing when he’s eating so his doctor wanted to make sure there’s nothing wrong with his esophagus or stomach.

We’re a little worried for him too. He’s 81 now I believe so any operation is a little more risky than if he were younger.

Like I said earlier I’m glad he’s not having a colonoscopy though .. the prep for that is kind of like doing quick trim burn and cleanse but worse! I should know – with my crohn’s I have to have that test at least once a year and sometimes twice or more. It’s awful.

I don’t get along all that well with my in-laws because of some things they did in the past, but still, I’ll be waiting to hear that everything went well. So will my husband.

The TV is still working

February 18, 2010 by Tricia

I’m happy to report that we’re still happy with our new TV. We’ve only had the Samsung Plasma for a little over a week, but so far so good.

I know .. you’d expect us to be happy, but if you knew our history with TV’s over the last 6 years you’d understand why we’re almost expecting this TV to die or something to happen. Ha .. when we got our first DLP in 2004 it died when we turned it on, it got replaced and the new one last 11 days then went in for repairs to have most of the insides replaced. It still didn’t work right so we got a new Samsung DLP to replace it. yeah – three tv’s (or four if you consider that one was almost completely rebuilt) in two months or so!

Our Samsung DLP had a great picture, but this one is even better! We can even see the acne on the actors and the make up caked on them. Yes sometimes HD is too much. LOL

Have you ever had as much trouble with TV’s as we did? Doesn’t that make you just a little nervous whenever you spend a lot of money on something new?

Now if we could only figure out how to hook up the Wii to this thin almost no hook ups on the back TV we’d be really happy.

Are you watching the Olympics?

February 18, 2010 by Tricia

So – are you watching the Olympics?

I’m kind of obligated to watch since the Olympics are being held in my own country this year. 😉

I have a feeling that we’ll be watching men’s hockey in just a little while as my husband is a HUGE hockey fan. Canada is playing Switzerland. Hopefully it’s another sweep for our guys. Bet those guys don’t need maxoderm LOL!

I’ve been hearing a lot of complaints about the Olympics from foreign media. That makes me sad. I know there’s been problems with the speed skating ice and of course the weather doesn’t help any for skiing, snowboarding or any of the other outdoor sports. Hey … Vancouver is the warmest it’s ever been in 104 years! Who could have predicted that?

Ironically I think Canada is having a warm spell this winter. We’ve had an almost snowless winter here in Toronto. Right now there’s only a tiny bit of snow on the ground and it’s melting because it’s above zero outside. So I’m not all that surprised that Vancouver and it’s nearby mountains have barely any snow. I feel sorry for those in the US who’ve been slammed time after time with snow storms this winter and here we are up here in the Great White North enjoying a spring like setting.

Anyway … back to the Olympics … if you’ve been watching what’s your favorite sport or sports to watch?

Waiting for dinner – it smells heavenly in here

February 18, 2010 by Tricia

I’m currently waiting for a slow cooked beef stew to be finished. It smells delicious in here! Mmmmm.

I added extra vegetables … like a couple more potatoes than the recipe called for, and carrots – for some reason the crock pot recipe I’m using didn’t list carrots and the pot is just full! I think we’re going to be eating stew for a while. I’ll have to freeze some of it I think.

I have a feeling that after finally eating dinner tonight I’m going to be on the computer looking for the top weight loss products LOL. Nah … the recipe is actually fairly low calorie and low fat. The stewing beef I used didn’t have any visible fat and I browned it in a pan before adding it to the crock pot. Plus the beef broth that I used was all fat free. So it’s going to be a health dinner, especially with all those fresh veggies.

If you want the recipe I wrote it out on my blog “My World” (see the link at the top of this post). I’ll let you know if it tastes as good as it smells!
