Week 1 of craziness at work is up. I don't think we forgot anything, we'll see on Monday. Thanks to my great team for there hard work this week; I wouldn't be as good a manager as I am without the support of my great team. At least next week, I only have to do design stuff!
Today's car rides during both rush hours sucked! Huge thunder & lightning downpours, dropping buckets upon buckets of rain in a very short amount of time. I almost couldn't get out of Bridgeport because every time I went to turn down a road, it was flooded. The same thing almost happened on the way home too in Westport. Luckily I didn't float away. Erin is up at the Miss CT Gala tonight, so I've had the place to myself. I wish I could see what she looked like tonight all dressed up, because she always looks so pretty. Didn't really do much, cooked a nice dinner, cleaned the kitchen, watched some Whale Wars...a very boring night. I also did the spring cleaning on my computer desk FINALLY! Only a few months late...but I did get it in before the "official" start of summer.
Before we get to dinner...I kind of have to retract something I said the other night about the Vancouver fans at the conclusion of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup. While they were great inside the arena, cheering on Boston and certain players...outside the arena it was bedlam. I find it to be an absolute disgrace that fans would behave like that. I don't care if you win or lose...that's just terrible! Hey we won...lets burn a car - hey we lost...lets riot...stupid. Disgraceful Vancouver and such a sour note to end what was a great series.
Finally for my dinner tonight, I had a wonderful plate of Grilled Raspberry Chicken with brown rice and a grilled portobella mushroom cap. Took about an hour to marinate the chicken, but boy did the marinade give the chicken an awesome flavor. Raspberry wine vinegar, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and pepper, that's it! Really easy to make get some nice grill marks on the chicken for a bit of a crust and perfect. I added a little bit of the raspberry wine vinegar to the water that I boiled the rice in to give it a little more flavor than the rice normally has. One little piece of chicken, less than a cup of rice, a side salad and I was done. I've found that I definitely don't eat as much as I did before and I get full quicker too. I don't know if it's just a mind thing, or if I'm actually understanding in my stomach and my head what "full" actually means.
Well its late and I'm tired...tomorrow night is our first attempt with whole wheat pasta. Should be interesting...I'm making a beef burgundy dish...that reminds me; I need to get the burgundy wine LOL
