New grilling machine, and other stuff

So, I've now become a grilling machine, not a master, just a machine. Since we got the new grill, I want to grill everything. Good thing that Linus is much faster than me. =) So, like I mentioned, we got the new grill. Sunday I get it set up and prepped and decide to go ahead and break it in. Cooked some chicken that I got as a present at Christmas and WOW, just WOW! This infrared grilling stuff is no joke. I've now got to make sure that I can get proficient in grilling on there and ensure that the rest of the family enjoys it as well. Shouldn't be a problem! That afternoon, we went to see the Perkins, which is always a treat, but this time was for Gabrielle's birthday. So we got to hang out and enjoy a fun filled afternoon with friends, again. I'm really beginning to like this whole having time to do things again. Reminds me of the three months I was out of work, only not. Monday, was an absolutely awful day, and an absolutely wonderful day! First, lack of sleep because of time change (drag), but then, first day of "new" employment! Same work, same location, just now it's "permanent". Now it's all supposed to go downhill right? Wednesday was an exciting day, or rather evening (for me at least). Jen had a tooth pull where she lost a crown. It was a lot more involved as to why the tooth was pulled, but the long and short was, a crown fell off and the tooth was pulled. I went to see the Blue Man Group with mom and dad in Durham and loved it. I was surprised when they wanted to go see it as well given the loud concert atmosphere, but it looks as though it worked out pretty well. Will have to keep an eye out to see if/when they come into town again. Thursday is grilling day (now since the new grill) so we were going to cook some Filets. When I got home though, that changed to chicken because of the missing tooth. It probably wouldn't have been a problem, but we didn't want to take the chance. So, made the chicken like I did on Sunday, and as Buddy would say "Everyone Loved It!" Yeah, I think it's a good thing. Friday was movie night with friends. Went and ate at Noodle Company, wasn't bad, different, but not bad, then went and saw Mars Needs Moms. Not a great movie, but it was a good movie. While standing in line we saw that Dreamworks is making a Puss in Boots movie. That should be good. Then we get home to discover that the upstairs A/C unit is on the fritz, again. Joy. Haircuts on Saturday, I say that my cut was the best looking of all, but I'm apparently in the minority there. =) Went to the mall real quick (only took about an hour, maybe a little more) then stopped at Fairview for some browsing. Didn't get much, but got an idea of what we may pick up. We'll swing by again in the near future. When we got home, grilled more Filet's!!! Oh, in case anyone is wondering these Omaha Steaks packages are an excellent idea for me for Christmas, Birthday, Halloween, Valentine's Day, or any other reason you want to get me something. Thanks to the best sis and bro-in-law for this present (now that I finally get to use them). Still need to check out the burgers and pork chops, but there's still time.

Settings are all good. I think it may have something to do with the starting a thought and saving then finishing later that I've been doing. We'll test that thought here shortly. =)
