Weekend wrap up

We had our company come for a few hours yesterday afternoon. A family of 3 generations, so 3 kids included, haha. It was nice to sit around the table visiting. Eventually dh remembered - hey we have a pinball machine up in the bonus room and we didn't see the kids again, after that, LOL. The older one (16) came back downstairs a little later and very politely asked if he could play pool and that he would be very careful with it.

I only ended up making like half of the chocolate chip cookies. It made plenty for yesterday (plus I had the Christmas crack, as well) and dh and I don't need to eat a bunch more. I'm going to freeze the remaining dough for another time. Even though flat (of course) they did taste really good. I used sea salt this time, instead of regular table salt. I bought it awhile back for some other recipe, so I might as well start using it in other stuff. I also have some kosher salt, bought for a recipe, that rarely gets used. I see I'm getting a bit low on table salt, but I'm just going to try to use up these other salts first.

I watched a movie on Netflix last night, that dd said was pretty funny. It was good, for a Netflix made type movie, called Red Notice with Ryan Reynolds and Duane Johnson. I don't see it being a box office type of hit. It has some funny parts. I could see how they left it off at the end, there will likely be a sequel.

I'm not feeling in a work mood this morning. Plus now I have to do payroll today, since I'll be off again tomorrow. At least with having tomorrow off, it should make the week go by fast. The endoscopy side of their office is supposed to call today to let us know for sure what time to get there. The scheduler started to say 7:30am, but then she ended up saying, she's not sure exactly what time they want us there, they will call us on Monday. She had given us 2 choices, 7:30am or 2pm. With the later one, we'd probably end up with me having to drive us home in the dark, so we opted for the early time. I also need to call the pharmacy again, later this morning, to see if they got the prescription now.

Now the update on dh's computer repair says 11/14 (was 11/9). I sent a message through the work ticket that just said, now another week to wait - just send my computer back, I will get it fixed locally. No response yet. Did I tell you I also mailed a letter about it to Dell headquarters in Texas, about a week ago? I'm sure it will be fruitless, but there really is no way, apparently to get a hold of anyone in the states about it. I had found the phone number for their Texas headquarters but again, their system just routes the call to customer service in India. Trying to call again, will probably be on my to do list tomorrow afternoon, after we get home. 

Well, I'd better get to my work day.

  1. We enjoyed Red Notice too. A bit far fetched, but a mix of action and humor. Smart move to freeze the rest of the dough. It'll be nice to have it all ready for a future bake.

  2. For Dell -- Try contacting the ppl listed on this website. Elliott.org is a consumer protection non-profit and they list executives who normally can help with things like you're experiencing.

  3. When I am stymied by getting overseas people, I call a local distributor who will give me a call to someone on this continent.

    I would take the earlier appointment time, too. Don't they have anything in between?

    1. I'm sure they do have other times, if we wanted to wait 2-3 weeks for an appointment. This was just available because they had cancellations, I guess.

  4. With a pinball machine AND a pool table you could open a daycare for adolescents!
