14 feb 2010

slept in until almost 9:00. kind of nice. sun was out in the morning and for most of the day. high temp around 35/36 F. pleasant day.

breakfast

bowl of cereal w/ milk
oj
iced tea
coffee

also shared a blueberry bagel w/ Elizabeth

Wegmans makes the best bagels in the Warrenton area. Safeway or Target is second best. There are no bagel shops in the area. it seems like the perfect place for an Einstein or a CBB.

(I just checked on-line. there are now only two CBBs in the DC area: McLean and Nat'l Airport. There used to be many, many more. I ate at the CBB in FFX City, Gallows Rd., Georgetown, among others. Kind of sad but I do remember them steadily going down hill.)

(Closest Einstein if probably the one in FFX City on Pickett.)

we watched CBS Sunday morning and the Round Table on This Week as tradition dictates and then went out to try to clear some more snow. we spent between 2 and 3 hours digging and now have

- a clear path to the front door
- a clear driveway from the garage door to the street
- a turn-around area
- a clear exit for both cars (?)
- a path from the front of the house to the back of the house
- a path from the backdoor to the front of the house
- a path from the cat door to the path system

and Elizabeth managed to clear away the snow from all of the down spouts.

we decided to reward our efforts with a call out pizza. we got papa johns because we haven't had their pizza in about a year.

lunch

pizza (3 sl)
coke
iced tea
chocolate pastry delights (2)

the chocolate pastries were extremely rich. should have only eaten one. the pizza really hit the spot.

snack

pizza (1 sl)
iced tea

we were both very sore and pretty full from the pizza so we never really had dinner on sunday. we just sort of grazed when we were hungy. I ate my "dinner" over about 2.5 hr period.

dinner

bowl of cereal
cheese sandwich
last slice of pizza
iced tea

we watched an episode of Star Trek: TNG called Starship Mine. The episode "borrowed" heavily from Die Hard and the actor playing the Alan Rickman role was rather weak but it was a fun episode. Picard did not say whoop a tee aye oh.

watched some olympics after that.
