Various things recently

A couple weeks ago I went to the eagle scout honor event since I'm an eagle scout and it was the American 250 birthday celebration that my mom's daughters of the revolution group did something with. They had a thing where you could get different revolution activities and one of them was "make a spinner thing," and they didn't have heavy enough wood wheels for the spinners to really spin, so I shared that knowledge with them and they thought it was cool. The event was at a park thing with an old car museum, which was pretty fun. They also had Captain America walking around, so I got a picture with him. Later in the evening was the Eagle charge, and they invited all past Eagles to stand and recite the charge, and it was really cool being the "and if you also achieved this in the past, stand and be recognized as well."

It was also Mother's Day, first one without my grandma and just with my grandma figure, but she's not doing well and has an aneurism that we're just kind of waiting for it to pop. That was kind of sad. We went to Red Lobster which was pretty good for everyone. Also, that morning we were responsible for coffee and donuts that week at church, so that was pretty good.

This weekend I went to my in-laws to try to sell some stuff at their garage sale. I had a bunch of tchotchkes and happy meal toys to sell, and I was able to sell some big things which freed up some good space in my storage area. I got $13.50, and just spent the day getting caught up on some TV shows. Today I went to church and did some VHS converting, and getting stuff put back on the shelves, and put the easy up stuff back away. I also went to a pharmacy that was going out of business and bought a bunch of stuff, and sorting that out also used up a bunch of energy.

Oh, and my wife didn't properly close a bottle of body wash when she put it in the closet, and it made quite a mess. I've been spending the past week cleaning it up, basically just rinsing the soap off of everything and smelling like a Disney princess since it was Disney princess bath and bodyworks soap. Later.

5/10/15 Mothers Day

Today was a pretty good day. I woke up, derped around online and tried to upload my impressions of splatoon, considering that it failed to upload, again. I encoded it using live movie maker to wmv and it uploaded fine. Watch it here.

Then I also had the lets plays up.

After internet stuff, I went to church. It was good. After some more relaxing, it was time for Mothers Day dinner with my parents, grandparents, and their friends. There wasn't any big thing this year, but there was my grandma insisting that I have a glass of wine with my dinner. I have a glass of wine occasionally after a day of work to help unwind, but not normally with dinner. Well, it wasn't just that I normally don't drink with dinner, but it's also because the wine costs $9 a glass. I don't have a very refined pallet, mostly drinking either $1 single servings or $6 bottles. That $9 glass tasted exactly the same as the cheap stuff  and wasn't even as much as in the $1 single servings. Oh grandma, but she was happy, and since she was the one who was insisting on it, I wasn't carded. Additionally, my grandparents needed more sweet ramooth for their Manhattans. They poured some more and were offering it to their friend who also had a Manhattan, but she didn't want any more. My 20 year old brother jokingly said "I'll have it," and my grandpa was ready to give it to him. My mom and I were quick to say "NO, grandpa stop right there, you're going to get him arrested." Oh my grandparents.

After dinner we cleaned my hamster's cage. He's all clean now. Later.

uhhhhh yesterday

It's sunday, and didn't post yesterday. But don't care to find the date. Yesterday was Mothers Day. Sorry no crazy story about a restaurant this year. I went up and saw my other grandparents, that are easier when it comes to food. Since they weren't able to come to my brother's eagle court, we spent most of the visit watching the DVD. We had dinner, and I had grandma's beef. So good. I also listed my first item on ebay. I'll likely make a better blog for then I sell my first item. Later.
