So most of today was unproductive other than doing the dishes and getting dinner for Gabi. Our favorite Chinese restaurant had moved or gone out of business and so we have been without our Asian food fix for awhile. Something today said, all right kilted get your butt out there and find a new Chinese place to try. So I found one, interestingly enough it is next to a sushi place we used to love to go to until it changed management…sigh…just can’t keep good Asian food in Carol Stream. Now the funny thing is when Gabrielle called me to find out if she needed to pick up anything on the way back from work, she was thinking of suggesting Chinese food for dinner…humm…scary how Gabrielle and I can connect at times. I bought a small assortment and the food wasn’t too bad, so I think we’ll end up trying them again. After Gabrielle came home we scarfed down chow and watched an episode of Cadfael (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/mystery/programs/cadfael/) one of our favorite shows. I’m not sure what it was that caused me to do it, as I’m often the procrastinator of the family, but after the show I turned off the television and asked Gabrielle to help me in the yard. We mowed the lawn, pulled weeds, stacked firewood and generally got a lot done in the yard. Darkness was starting to fall and so we packed it in for the night, however, we discovered we didn’t have any village stickers for yard waste, so we made a pilgrimage to Jewel to pick up some and to replenish consumables.
After all that we came home and went plop. After a delicious dessert of fresh cherries, plain yogurt with honey and walnuts, I decided it was time to work on the website again. Naturally it is now very late but once I get started on something it is hard for me to stop. I ended up making a new banner logo for the photogallery (http://www.kiltedbehemoth.net/gallery2/main.php). It isn’t exactly what I wanted but it will work for now. It’s gonna take me some time and some trickery with Photoshop to create the image that I want displayed where the sunset picture is now.
I think its time for bed…so nite all and talk to you soon.
