Meat!

Finally! Our meat is here! Half a cow is in our freezer - 280 lbs! Ground chunk, patties, steak and soup bones- we have it all.

Life Lesson: Groceries are almost always less expensive per unit when you buy it bulk!

Weekend Wrap Up

Friday night Joe and had some friends over and played Xbox kinnect dance central - and it was a blast. Saturday night Joe and I went to meet some friends at Buffalo Wild Wings (but didnt eat - we are watching what we eat) and watched bull riding. We then went to Downtown to meet up with other friends.

Sunday morning mom, dad and Dominick came over for breakfast. Mom dressed up Bruno for IU - and he was so cute. However, IU lost a nail biting game last night - which we won't discuss. Sunday evening we went to mom and dads for chicken catchitore - then over to Joes parents to watch the IU game.

JOE WAS SCREAMING...

A thrilling game...

IU 52 Illinois 49



Life Lesson: Once you succeed - you forget about all the times you failed.

A Drinking Problem?!

Hank has been waking Joe and I up about three times throughout the night to go "potty." The last couple of nights have been rough because Joe and I feel like we have a newborn in the house. Joe has decided that Hank has a drinking problem and drinks too much water before he goes to bed. Hank is now cut off from water at 730. We are going to run a trial and see if this works. Keep your fingers crossed! Since Hanky cant drink water - he is cheering for IU!

Ice Fishing

Joe went ice fishing with Brad and caught all these fish! Brad filleted them and now we have fish in our freezer to eat throughout next week. The fish Joe caught were blue gill. I will bake them, and probably fry some - but they should be yummy!

Dinner at NOA NOA

Here are some pictures from our dinner at NOA NOA last Friday to celebrate Shirlees last day of chemo!

Life Lesson: CHANGE ISN'T ALWAYS A BAD THING!

This is scary...

Pizzzza

Dad went to Chicago Monday for a courier - then picked up a pizza on the way home. It was SOO GOOD!

Ringin the Bell...

Here is a picture of Shirlee ringing the bell at the cancer center today - a tradition they reserve for patients when they complete their last treatment. She was pretty happy.

Drumroll please...

Today is Grandma Shirlee's last day of radiation treatment.
We are so proud of her and Jerry for battling this awful disease.
Tonight we will celebrate at Noa Noa to start off a new chapter in her life being cancer free!


Life Lesson: You never know how strong you are until you have to be.

Costco Doctor

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer down at Costco. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars - A lot cheaper than a doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Costco. He deposits ten dollars and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample... He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: "You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity.. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Costco.."

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample from himself for good measure. Joe hurries back to Costco, eager to check the results.. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results .

The computer prints the following:
1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm.. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours.. Get a lawyer.
5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Thank you for shopping @ Costco

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

AUNT KADY!
WE LOVE YOU!
