So we're done with Veep Watch, Round 1?

So we're really done with the media, waiting around like a woman two days after a great date, checking voice mail and the text inbox every five minutes to see if he's contacted her back yet??

That was just painful yesterday. Has Obama texted us yet? Has Obama texted us yet???

I don't want to get into politics... I'm more just so sick of all the media surrounding this election. And I have been for several months, for all involved parties. I just want it to be over so I don't have to hear about it anymore.

At least I am glad McCain isn't doing the "text announcement". I couldn't handle a second round of that.

Other than that... a laid back day in La Casa de La Hausfrau. We're going to a wedding reception this evening, so I decided to catch up on some beauty sleep this morning and don't plan on doing anything but getting ready for the reception. Looking forward to the reception - it's one of the hubby's old buddies from the now defunct band Nine24 (and ROFL... who the hell is paying to keep their website up? They've been busted up for like three years). And Kev isn't on the website... he was the first one to give up the dream to focus on actually making some kind of career outside of music. But, always fun times hanging with all the old crew and their mates, and we don't do it nearly enough.

I expect I'll have to take it easy with the adult-type beverages tonight. Although I hope this is not the drunken affair that was Tim's wedding (the hubby stood up in that one, and they ALL started drinking around noon, by the time it was time for the bridal party intros at the reception, each one of the groomsmen had to use the wall for support when walking down the staircase) I still expect the hubby will get a little, um, happy on the happy juice. Fine with me... he doesn't do it that often so I can deal with his drunken self.

The typical Saturday.....

Today was spent on the mundane but required tasks of the usual Hausfrau who also has a full time job.

Hit the farmer's market for a few minutes.... first time I've been to the town's farmer's market although I've lived here for 8 years.... pretty sad, actually. I hope it was a poor showing since it was the first farmer's market day for the season. Too many people selling crafts (like the "stuff made from gourds" stand... what the hell?) and not enough food. I did walk away with some tomatoes, strawberries and a small loaf of zucchini bread for breakfast tomorrow.

Then, it was time to brave the masses and hit the plain old grocery store (that'll be POG from here on out) and the produce mart.

Sadly, my grocery store cart is starting to look more and more like the people I pity most.... people with carts full of nothing but all the crap convenience foods that the usual POG has to offer now. But in my defense, that is because I always also hit the produce mart to buy my veggies and meat at half price. The POG haul was lasagna fixin's (which included the 3 pound jar of Prego.... I have tried many times to make my own sauce but I grew up on Prego.... my italian Gran used Prego.... I'm a Prego girl and I have no shame about it) and some stuff that is cheaper there like tuna that was on sale. Woo. Exciting.

Oh, picked up fixings so the hubby can make himself fried balogna tomorrow. I despise the stuff. He is only allowed to make it when I am not home and the house can be fully aired out before I return home.

Produce mart haul was pretty unexciting. Sadly, as more and more people have discovered this place, they've gotten a little more mainstream. But the place still rocks.

Home... did some cleaning, did some laundry (exciting life, huh?) and prepped a lasagna for tomorrow, in honor of the last ever episode of the Sopranos. Also, I have a wedding shower tomorrow (two cousins are getting married this summer/fall.... uh... not to each other, as that kinda reads....) so who knows when I'll be getting home.

My lasagna... no real recipe.... some ground sirloin and italian sausage and onions cooked... add red sauce to taste.... take your riccotta, mix in some thawed chopped spinach and choppped salami along with the egg.... layer it all with cheese and the no-boil noodles. Now it happily sits in our fridge for tomorrow.

And we had Taco Bell for dinnner. I suck... but the husband was happy (hey.... I gave him the choice between BLTs and Taco Bell. I blame him.)

Sudden thought that I might need to do bruschetta with my tomatoes tomorrow. Hmm. Also gives me a chance to raid the herb garden, which I always love.

Yeah. Fairly typical Saturday. Sadly, right down to the Taco Bell.

Ok. Hex is on in a minute. I've mentioned I love TV, right???
