SMELL MY CHICKEN

Guess what I'm doing for the first time in months?! I'm grilling on the gas grill! I know, I know...a lot of you do it year round. I don't. I can't. I only have one spot for the grill, and it's in this common area patio for the 3 condos. So, ya see, until very recently this area was buried in about 17 feet of snow. But it's gone. It's alllll gone!

We all know that I'm an anal one and am well, pretty picky and tidy. But for some reason, I did not cover my grill this winter. I have no idea what happened. Okay, that's a lie. I actually do know what happened. It snowed before I covered it...then I thought, "SHOOT! I need to get that covered." Then much like the ADD Song, I probably saw a pigeon or smelled bacon until the next storm.

Then I thought, "Oh I DEFINITELY have to cover that grill." Bacon, pigeons...forgot."

I was scared to start that bad boy up this year. Usually, I take the tank off, close it all up and cover it with the nice cover I bought. Nope. This year the tank stayed on, the snow piled up and everything was exposed to intense freezing and thawing.

Guess what? That dude Weber knows his stuff and it worked like a champ and didn't blow up when I lit it. God I love that smell. Excuse me while I stuff my face.

A LITTLE TASTE OF IDAHO

Okay, so I'm a tad behind getting this online...but better late than never. The morning I went to see my Mom and Dad, I stopped by the grocery store I used to go to every week with my family for groceries to pick up some things (I made turkey meatballs, my dad hated them).

It's so weird to go back to the place you grew up. I always remember the part of Caldwell, Idaho we hung out in as much bigger...but alas, it's small and well - pretty depressing.

I love my parents...a lot. But I won't live back in Idaho. I love my new home of Maine. I should shoot a video of my new home! Ooooo, good idea. And now, get out your Xanax and enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to Sam!

Happy Birthday to Lincoln!

Both my boys are 10 this week. I tried soooo hard to get them both to pose for a picture, but I think it would be easier to fix the economy.
