Using up all my good karma!

[susandennis]

I had planned to go to this one restaurant for brunch but last night they were on the news talking about their Super Bowl crowd... crowd?  football?  er, no, thanks.  So I dreamed up a Plan B.

Serious Biscuit. I haven't been there in a while. If I get there early, it might not be crowded.  They have no TV at all.  And, it's across the street from The Wonderful Hardware Store and I need a couple of hardware-y things.  

So... into the car. I was tired and my eyes itch and i know how to get there but I didn't want to think so I powered up the phone's GPS.  And, I'll be damned if it didn't take me a new and WAY more direct way than I ever considered.  I found a perfect parking spot without even trying.  The restaurant wasn't crowded at all and I got the very best seat in the house - most comfortable and best view.  

They have a new baked egg dish with prosciutto and olives which turned out to be so good I wanted to lick the little single serving cast iron skillet.  I found out after that they had just added this to the menu last month. It's now my new favorite.

The hardware store was a treat as usual. These folks have the most inventive buyer in the biz and just walking through the store is a treat.  I had 3 things on my list and found all three.  Plus as I was leaving I picked up a lovely business card for a pair of women who do home repair.  

My washing machine closet door has been fucking with me now for a couple of years.  I had a guy fix it, twice and twice the fix did not last.  This morning I took pictures and sent an email to the home repair ladies and asked them to come fix whenever they could fit me in.

Not bad for a Sunday morning!!

I took an OTC allergy pill in hopes of fixing my eyes.  They got real itchy last night.  Before I went to bed, I doused them in artificial tears which, of course, were all caked around my eyes this morning, making them itch... ooops.  So I went with hot compress with that allergy pill and now I'm waiting for the heal.

I care nothing about football or the Super Bowl.  Happily, I have 10 more episodes of House of Cards to watch so I'm cool.

I tried an episode of House of Cards yesterday with Luke, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Political dramas have never been my thing (read: haven't watched The West Wing either). I'm gonna keep going and see if things make more sense to me.

Otherwise, your Sunday sounds lovely.

Make it last

I am trying to make House of Cards last. Unfortunately, I didn't do that with Downton Abbey...and now I can't wait for the next episodes. I love Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, they are great actors if they can make me despise their characters so much. Although, I'd probably vote for Francis Underwood.

My Netflix account ends on Feb. 11 so I want to make sure to get it all in before then but otherwise, I'm totally with you. I did seasons 1 and 2 of DA in one gulp. I'm watching 3 week by week... I'm honestly not sure which is better for me.

Loving house of cards!

What's the name of the neat hardware shop? We used to have an OSH near where we lived but we don't live there now; it had the coolest stuff. Much better than Home Depot or Lowes.

I hope your eyes feel better.

Guess I'll try "House of Cards." I like the concept of a series being available all at once, at least!

And I really love the idea of the baked egg with prosciutto thing.
