We didn’t do a whole heck of a lot, to tell the truth. The most exciting thing we did was try a new place for breakfast on Saturday: Butterfields Pancake House. I liked their coffee, but Steven and I agreed that their pancakes were too fluffy.
Yes, it’s true.
You can stop laughing now.
I’m a pancake connoisseur and hate pancakes that are so thick they soak up syrup. I love syrup. I love my pancakes drowning in syrup and butter. The best pancakes are the ones where you only have to use the bottle of syrup once. One time. Not multiple times and surely not the whole damn thing in one sitting (for the record, no that’s never happened to me).
The really cool thing about this place, though, is their orange juice squeezer machine…thingy. They advertise freshly squeezed orange juice and you actually have proof that it’s freshly squeezed. The juicer sits right out in the dining room, up against the wall near the kitchen and they use real oranges (y’know, as opposed, concentrate. LOL). They have crates upon crates of fresh oranges sitting right next to it. If the pitchers are running low, you’ll see the servers work the machine right there. It was pretty cool. I’m not a fan of orange juice, but it was pretty cool to see.
We ate at Ron’s Place, our usual place, on Sunday, then went to check out these townhomes. I just wanted to see the area, but the one unit we saw online didn’t include a refrigerator. I’d like a refrigerator already in the place, thankyouverymuch. We’re looking to sell our house and rent a townhouse. Not sure when it’s going to happen, hopefully by the end of the year.
On Sunday, we went to see GREEN ZONE. We liked it. I think Matt Damon makes a great action star. I think I might like to see him a romantic comedy, but he’s doing very well in the action genre and should probably stick to that. I could even see him doing an action/sci-fi flick. If you’re reading this, Matt, there’s a suggestion for ya.
Got some homework done, too. I have two assignments due this week because I’ll be out of town for 4 days next week and I’m not bringing the laptop. I’m attending my job’s annual records mgmt training in Alexandria, VA. Never been there and I’m really looking forward to going. My supervisor and I got on the list to tour the White House and we hope to see Obama at the Medal of Honor Day ceremony on the 25th. Squee! I’ll have pics, I promise.
So, that’s it for me. How was your weekend?
