Random stuff from the weekend:
- Ate at two of our favorite restaurants ... and both of them hot and spicy! New Mexican on Friday night and Thai on Saturday night. You know you go some place a wee bit too often when the wait staff starts to recognize you. We're pretty that's now happened at this Thai place as our waiter didn't question whether we really wanted "Thai Hot" (aka hotter than "hot") for one of our dishes.
- My back is better... well kinda. I attributed a microwaveable heating gel pack on my lower back for my speedy recovery. But after a shower on Saturday, I felt something funny back there. A look in the mirror... I had burns on my back... and it was blistering! Ouch! Now I didn't think I put the gel pack, even with its cloth wrapper, directly on my skin... but obviously I was an idiot and did something wrong. So while preferable to seizing and spasms, it's still a bit uncomfortable back there.
- As promised, we took the dogs back to the bark park on Sunday. There were not nearly the amount of dogs that were there last weekend (it was a tad later and a bit hotter), but still some fun to be had... kinda. We try to give our dogs a bit of space, let them have their fun without us looking over their shoulder ... but this other little dog got into a minor growl/scuffle with Rocky. Before we got over there, another lady (not the owner of the dog who started it) doused Rocky with the contents of her water bottle. It was no biggie and the lady of the testy dog did apologize... but have to admit to being a tad peeved about the water throwing. Not that Rocky cared...
- ... since we have two very different dogs. How so? If the dogs go out in the yard and the sprinkler is on, Toby will pretty much want to turn around and come right back inside...while Rocky's eyes immediately light up and, if left unsupervised, will grab the sprinkler and run around the yard with it. Likewise, when the wheels of the vacuum cleaner start rolling Toby will slink away and go to farthest room away from where it is... Rocky will attack it when it's on!
- Needing to take a break from last night's NLCS game where our Dbacks are now down 3 games to the Rockies (I think someone should have quit while he was ahead!), started researching where we might like to eat while we're in Vegas. We have narrowed it down to three places to have a "special" dinner... Italian, Southwestern, and a Brazilian steakhouse. I'm leaning toward the steakhouse, but the penny-pincher in me still thinks its crazy to spend $150+ on dinner (which is what we're likely looking at for any of them) ... now don't ask me about my gambling budget, but for food??
