Today's been well, not crazy busy, not boring, not without effort but not loaded with stress either.  What do you call this?  I'm at a loss, as it's unusual to have this sort of day.

I do have one question to ask.  It's sort of funny to me.  Is it some unwritten guy challenge to see if you can be quicker or tougher than the BOILING HOT pot that you decide you want to transfer from one place to the other without any sort of oven mitt?  I've seen my dad do this many times.  He won't just grab a mitt, he'll grab the damn pot to transfer it over to the sink and then do that whole sucking air in through his teeth and then say "OUCH!" or "HOT!"  All I can sit there and think is "Well DUH!"  I've seen my husband do similar things, some friends, and even a couple of other family members who are guys.  What's the deal?

Since I mentioned my husband I'll get to that too.  We rented movies a couple of days ago (Carrie, a remake of Carrie, Bedtime Stories, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Babylon AD & The Uninvited).  We only have The Uninvited left to watch, although not by my direct choice.  So we're BBQing today which means my dad and I are cooking various things.  I'm out in the kitchen slicing carrots and whatnot so we can put the potato salad together and then I finish and go back to sit for a few minutes before the potatoes finished boiling.  My husband was watching Babylon AD!  He didn't even ask if I minded, he didn't tell me he was watching and he just assumed I didn't want to watch it at all!  I had merely told him the other night "No, I don't really feel like watching that one yet."  That didn't mean I never wanted to watch it, just not that night. He assumed I just never wanted to see it.  When I told him I wanted to, did he stop the movie, knowing I couldn't stay back there for the whole thing?  Of course not, he watched it.  I was so lost every time I'd come back and see parts of the movie.  Then at the end he was like "Oh, so they end it like that?  What the hell?!" and looks to me to, I suppose, justify his thoughts and I looked at him and said "I've collectively seen 15 minutes of the movie, have no clue what the hell happened or why, so it doesn't matter to me I guess."  He didn't say anything, just got this shitty look on his face like I was being mean to him.  He started the movie without me and didn't even have the courtesy to turn it off and wait until later.  I'm sorry, I think I deserve to make a face.  I made sure under no uncertain terms to tell him that he was NOT to watch The Uninvited without me and that we could watch it when we ate dinner.

Right now I'm waiting for my jello to set up a little more and then I'm going to add some fruit into it.  I bought some light whipped cream (in the can, not the tub, something about the canned stuff seems more special and I don't know why) so we'll have jello with whipped cream for dessert.  We're BBQing hamburgers and with that we're having potato salad, sauteed fresh asparagus and a nice huge green salad complete with romain lettuce, spinach, carrots, cucumber, and radishes.  We're definitely eating good tonight.  I can't wait.  I'm getting a little sleepy though so I think I'm going to go check my jello, then maybe take a little nap until it's time for the next steps of cooking.  Hope you all are having a nice Sunday as well!
