Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

I’m off tomorrow – last vacation day I’m taking for the year. Carrying 32 hours over to next year. So, what are my plans for the weekend? I’m thinking of calling Mrs. R up and have lunch at Great Moon in South St. Paul. Then, I thought of going to the Mall of America (MOA) just to “jalan-jalan” (walk around). Need to get new pants so maybe Old Navy or the Gap.

On the hand, I might not feel like going either. I was so tired after I got home this afternoon. Took a nap – supposely a 30 minute, but it turned out to be a hour. I felt better though. Walked the dogs which they were already bugging me to walk them since I got home at 2:30.

On Saturday, DB is taking my car to get the blinkers fixed. I have been driving without proper blinkers for about 2 months now. Not sure what went wrong – DB said it’s the wiring which he does not want to touch coz the wirings are connected to the airbag and cruise control. Hey, don’t mess with my cruise control. That’s my life saver. Set it for 75mph and off I go on 35E.

I’m still working on my work stuff, Excel spreadsheets, tonight. Told the boss I will be able to do it this weekend. Since I took the day off tomorrow, I will continue to work on them. It is a pain in the butt…didn’t know the reports from the query were so complicated. So, it made my life tougher to work with VLookups for multiple rows. I’m sure I will figure it out.

Boss took us out for our holiday luncheon at Chiang Mai Thai at Calhoun Square in uptown Minneapolis. I rode with E and P drove R. It was quite some time since I went to Calhoun Square. It just feels good to be in Minneapolis. Anyways, the restaurant has a great atmosphere with very “Thai” decorations. The food, it’s not too bad. I ordered Massaman curry with shrimp (they omitted the squid) and papaya salad, Thai style. I have not tried the curried before, thought I would check it out. P and E each ordered Pad Thai with chickie and a cup of Tom Yam soup. R ordered fried noodles with shrimp and squids. I should have ordered noodles. The curry was, first of all, not spicy enough for me. Secondly, it was too sweet. Thirdly, there was no kick to it – not much of a taste of curry in it. Lastly, there was so much coconut milk in it, it was too icky. I had probably a few spoonfuls of it and the rest went into a doggie bag. The papaya salad was good. Had enough chilies to burn my butt hole tomorrow morning (it could be tonight!). R and I prefer super hot and spicy food. He and I kept adding chilies to our meal – there is no kick to it without adding chilies to the food. Well, I will find out tomorrow if I will have ABS!!
