Monday

Curse you Monday.  Bane of my life.

Anyways I pulled myself out of bed, much unwillingly.  I’m sore and tired but moving.  Coffee is made and lunch packed and I’m ready to go.

Soooo, lets do some weekend highlights.

Went to a baby shower for my friend Jason and Danei (and soon to be Harvey).  It was nice, and slightly fun.  Although I felt a little awkward when we played ‘Baby Pictionary’ and somehow I pulled the card that said “Breast Pump.”  I looked around and saw some little children and cursed under my breath before drawing a well endowed stick figure with a ‘pump type thing’ coming off her upper body.  People got it.

The rest of Saturday was spent lounging.  I honestly don’t feel 100%.  I don’t feel sick either, just a running nose and sore.  Hoping it will go away soon.

Sunday Sam and I hit up the Coffee Pot.  We have reached regular status.  That means they automatically bring us coffee and water when we sit down, ask if we need menus and are able to complete our regular orders when we leave some thing out.  It rocks.

We then went to Chuppa’s Market for some Market shopping.  Nothing fancy, but is always a fun place to go when you can’t make it to the West Side Market.  Nice to walk around and see all the neat food stuffs you can find nowhere else.

Reggie called.  And of course canceled on coming out for Thanksgiving.  I know I shouldn’t be surprised.  We (friends who know Reggie)  joke that there is only a 20% chance Reggie will ever follow on his plans to visit, but it is a let down.  I was really looking forward to him coming out for a few days, seeing the place, and just hanging out.

I understand he’s crazy (he is), but sometimes he can’t see whats in his best interest (aka getting away from Queensbury and doing something).  I always get my hopes up that he’s coming out, only to be let down later on.  I’ll see him around Christmas.  I’ll just throw this on the list of times he was going to do something, and backed out.

The rest of night Sunday I did work (yeah… actually brought work home with me) and doodled.  It was a nice relaxing Sunday.

Chuppa’s Market

Sorry for the lack of posts.  To be honest I’ve spent the last two weeks obsessing with the Hockey Playoffs.  My beard is going well and the Sabres, despite not winning the last three games prior, did fantastic and played with a lot of energy Friday.

Anyways, Chuppa’s Market!!  Friday morning I mentioned how we (Sarah and I) should go to the West Side Market on Saturday to do some shopping, and she said we should try out Chuppa’s Market in Parma because she had a gift certificate for them.  Before she could say another word I went into a rant about how Chuppa’s Market sounds like the name of a kid’s show on Nickelodeon.  From there my imagination just catapulted into what the show would look like.  And at work I started sketching the show outlines and even got the kids to sing with me about Chuppa’s Market.

On an ending note, Chuppa’s Market is a pretty decent place to shop.  Fresh foods, peanut butter made on location (Sarah went crazy for the Chocolate Peanut Butter.  You could watch them make it, oil, peanuts, and chocolate chips.  That’s it, three ingredients.  I got myself some honey peanut butter, honey, oil, peanuts.  Nice and fresh).  If you are ever in the Parma area, go for it.
