Husband Hijack #2!!!!!
Hahaaa! I'm at it again! And yes, for those wondering, I will be counting all my posts (a few asked).
First, a quick restaurant review. I went over to a new(ish) sushi place called The Fish. It's over off McKinney Ave. in Dallas, across McKinney from the West Village. Anyway, dad went with me and he enjoyed it. I got the chicken bento box and a philadelphia roll. The fish tasted very good and fresh. The miso soup was excellent. It was hearty and flavorful. Salad was good, nothing more to really write, it's a salad. Vegetable Tempura was included in the bento box, and was very tasty. I got aspergrass :), potato, some kind of pepper (couldn't put a name to it), a giant green bell pepper slice, and an onion slice. All of it was exceptional except the potato, which was flat and bland. The cali roll in the box was decent, they used real crab in it instead of that shredded imitation stuff a lot of places use. The Phili roll was very good as well, not too much cream cheese, fresh avocado, and the salmon was excellent. Now before anyone whines that I didn't eat real sushi, I'll just say I didn't feel like taking out a mortgage just to fund a lunch consisting of sushi that would fill me up. I can see going back here in the future though. The only thing tht I kind of quesion was the size of the rolls, they were a little on the small side for what you paid.
Next up, last Saturday dad got himself a new truck! It's a Chevy Silverado LT Texas Edition. It's really sharp. Plenty of power for a truck and it handles very well. Here's some pictures.
And right before dad ran me over!!!
Other than that, nothing too much happening right now...
OH, almost forgot, went and saw he new Star Trek film las night. I've never actually seen any of the other movies, much less watched any (at least that I can remember) shows all the way through. I know some of the characters though. But anyway, I have to say it's one of the best movies I've seen in a while! If you get a chance, I highly recommend going to see it! We're going to go see Angels & Demons on Friday this week, so I'll be sure to post my thoughts on that one later.
Till next time, Live Long and Prosper! Hub out!

My Favorite Handy Man!
So, this half of the W Family has been pretty quiet lately... I know, I know... too busy doing housewifely things... cleaning windows, cutting down parts of trees, working out, annoying Princess Gizmo... you know, important stuff! Well, just 'cause I've been quiet doesn't mean Court's HoneyDo list hasn't grown! Being the punier, non-engineer half of this family means that, while I am pretty handy to have around (see window cleaning, etc), I do have to leave stuff for the larger, engineer-type... Check him out...
He changed out most of the outlets and light switches downstairs - no more off-white, all sparkling white now!
Of course, Gizmo was excellent in her supervisory role, making sure we do everything to her standards. I also feel the need to comment about how patient my Handsome Hub was though all of this, as he taught me how to rewire switches, etc... very cool!
I sure did mention a tree coming out, too, huh? Yup, I cut it down to a stump, but here's where the puny part comes in, and Court came home from workout one afternoon and yanked it out.
I probably could go on and on about all of the cool things he can and does do around here - and what a great teacher I've got to help me add to my handy girl repertoire, but I'll leave you with this adorable picture from earlier this year...

Husband Hijack #1
Hello all! If you've been reading my other blog (there's not much to read), you've probably noticed that I gave up blogging on that page. I just don't do it enough to warrant my own page, so I decided to rejoin (?) my family on this blog.
You can look forward to comments about video games, workouts, random thoughts, family doings that Jamie doesn't mention in her posts, recipes and restaurant reviews, whatever's on my mind! So tonight, I thought I would share some funny pics!
We saw this at a sushi restaurant a few weeks ago, I just forgot to post it. I love this car, it's just so aggressive looking, but refined. Plus, it wipes the floor with supercars, so it's a bad a$$ car!
Nissan GT-R
Last night we had Joey over. We're also keeping my dad's dogs right now since he's in Florida at a Disney job (he designed the electrical system that backs up the entire park!). Enjoy...
So she celebrated by sitting on Jamie's head!
Then the dogs made up with Joey with a cuddle session...
