Bundled the oldest up to play 3 softball games today. Steady 15-20mph NW wind, feels like 44 degrees. Sent hubby with hot chocolate, did not send any alcohol to pair it with. Have a pork tenderloin in the crockpot for dinner, doing laundry, going to exercise, and debating on making apple crisp for dessert tonight.

Get to stand in the wind tunnel called the forest city football field. Last game for the runts.
Utility closet below my bath where contractors will be working Wednesday was my Friday task. Previous HVAC and plumber guys had destroyed the door framing and walls to run their stuff...demo'd and rebuilt them all. Pain in the ass.
we were going to do apple crisp but I think we're going to make a small peach crisp instead to help clear out the freezer space. DH woke up with a cold (shouldn't be from me at this point) and has requested such.
What is your pork recipe? I need to use our crockpot more.
the wind definitely blew in last night. Seems like it was howling pretty good at 6am. Getting some nice fall color in our trees and the woods near us. Trying to take a picture but not nearly as vibrant in my phone.
This one is a brown sugar balsamic glazed tenderloin. Season the tenderloin with sage, garlic, salt & pepper and cook in the crockpot. Then you make a glaze with brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, a little water and corn starch. You can either put it on the pork the last 30-45min or take it out of the crockpot when done and add the glaze on then broil a few times so it makes a crust.
My other favorite pork in the crockpot is I buy seasoned roasts from Fareway (think they are shoulder roasts, they have them pretty cheap fairly often). Then I make a different rub for carnitas and cook on low all day long. Shred the last 30min or so. Use as carnitas one day then make quesadillas wth leftovers another time. I also used those roasts to do pulled pork. All my kids are more likely to eat pork over chicken or beef.
There's nothing weirder than seeing a 50 year old man at a college party with his son. Don't be that guy
we tend to eat a lot of pork as well. Think we are doing pork shoulder next weekend for carnitas/pulled pork. I will have to try that pork tenderloin recipe - that sounds really good!
I make the schedule for one of my jobs, so scheduled myself for today. Walk in, one of my coworkers is already there. Seems like the manager changed the schedule (fine), but neglected to tell me. (Not fine) Dollars to donuts she sent the change to my work e-mail, which I can't check from home. I was at work on Friday, but doing other "job"(basically physical labor), and I NEVER check my e-mail on those days. (Okay, hardly ever)
So, yeah...that's how my day started. Put that with not the greatest night's sleep because of the wind slamming into our windows...a bit snippy today.

Thought up a new chapter for the dissertation last week, and I'm finishing it today.
Writing about juvenile anti-slavery society meetings from this young guy's diary just now. I was rereading to organize stuff a little better, and I see that they only lasted through part of 1839 in Philadelphia. Apparently, some boys and men started reading the ads and showed up to disrupt a meeting.
The society's board had a meeting and decided to ask the mayor for police support. This guy, being a peace advocate of the time, which meant "no force by anybody ever" didn't support that, and that's his last entry about that.
Just left me hanging. Did he quit? Did the whole thing fall apart (like it did everywhere else at that same time)? Did they ask him to leave?

Tell your dad to stay in the car next time.
It makes me sad that IMDB got rid of their message board section.
They did, but whatever. At least keep the boards up but close them for further posting.
Sorry, Pants. No matter what you say, Showgirls is still a terrible movie.
What a relief, I thought you were going to say something about a mid 40s guy at a college party with a sorority woman. Trophy wife still on track then.
Had to spend last night at a bowling alley with a group of tavern hawks. My son told me when one group arrived they asked my FIL who the Hawks played that day. My son then laughed and said real hawk fans huh? Then after some drinks (I drank a Pepsi), they played what we believe is a long version of their fight song, because the BIL would look at people and yell, Go hoks!! I was talking to my son so my back was to BIL, but the son later told me that BIL was trying to stare us down, the family dressed in ISU stuff from just getting back from the game and whose family has around 5 isu degrees just in the close family and season tickets well into Macs tenure.
Just found out that my sister and I are not invited to the wedding. Neither are any of the youngest generation in the family. That means 9 of the 26 that would be going can't actually go. 5 of the 9 are adults and another would be 16 by then. My parents won't go if we can't and neither will some others. So that leaves like 7 from our family that would go. There's going to be well over 100 on the groom's side. I understand trying to keep costs down, so maybe that's the reason. I was really looking forward to this. There is a picture of my cousin and I at wedding when we were 6 that I wanted to recreate.

I'm so sick of the "evil always wins in the end" trope that is the end to like, every horror movie ever made in the last ten years. It's not clever or shocking anymore. It's just lame and boring.
