Kick off to grilling season

When the in-laws were in town, one of the things we accomplished was to assemble the awesome grill that my parents had bought us as a house warming gift.  Kudos to Jeff and his dad for figuring THAT out!

Sunday had amazing weather. It was warm, sunny, and I guess the wind was a little strong, but alright!  Since the weather was what it was, we decided to break in the grill and cook some steaks!

Mother nature had other ideas and started spitting as soon as Jeff was back with the propane.  That’s okay, though! Mother Nature has got nothing on MY mom… So off to the garage we went.

Mother Nature picked up the pace and brought roiling thunder and some lightening.  Jeff brought an umbrella and an extra place setting.

Jeff manned the grill while I set up an impromptu dining room out of canvas chairs and a coffee table that I wanted to refinish.

When the steaks were done, the meal was served, and the thunder rolled.

Consider grilling season officially started!

I haven’t taken a picture of food since the cupcake.  I’ve been eating fairly well, though. Notable foods from yesterday include grilled steak with mixed veggies, and a doughnut. Not at the same time, but you see what I mean by “fairly” well.  I basically covered both ends of the spectrum, there.

The new job has been going exceptionally well.  I just need to remember that it’s only my first couple of days, so they’re supposed to be easy.  The only problem I have now is leaving on time…I stayed late again last night and my car was the only one left in the lot.

I tried a spin class yesterday, though, and actually had fun!  Of course my butt muscles hurt today, despite my efforts that included using a towel for cushioning 😛

Today I’ve got a lunch packed, and work out clothes packed, so I’m ready to take on the next group fitness class.
