I've been bad. This week was an indulgent week. But again, I'm wondering if my idea of an indulgent week is a non-DTG person's idea of a normal week. Because I stayed steady exactly where I was last week. Even though I had pizza for lunch and dinner on Sunday and some cheesecake. John went back to Chicago over the weekend and brought home an Eli's chocolate chip cheesecake. Now, I'm not normally a cheesecake fan but there's is NOTHING like an Eli's chocolate chip cheesecake. Of course 1/8 of a 10" cake is over 300 calories and about 20 grams of fat. So a meal.
We've been exploring things around town. Found a bouncy world for Nicky. Discovered the Joe's Crab Shack down here has a huge playground. Remembered that the best diet in the world is taking babies to a restaurant. And we took three! So I didn't get a chance to eat a lot of my crab nachos which wasn't such a bad thing.
On the DTG meal front, our delivery today arrived well and frozen. The meals have been very yummy, as usual. I've got them stacked and organized in the freezer so that every night, I take out the top two lunches and the top two dinners for the next day. Then, if something comes up, like going out to lunch today, the meal that was going to be today's is still good tomorrow.
We hope to get Nicky swing set delivered in the next couple days. While I'm tempted to set up the video camera as I'm sure there will be some America's Funniest Home Video's moments, we don't have the battery life or the storage for the amount of time it's going to take us to put it up. Steve, if you've got any DIY advice, I'd be happy to hear it!

ReplyDeleteI haven’t set up a swing set in a few years, however I always take the instructions and throw them away (only kidding but at times I’d like to). I like to take a few days prior to assembling large items reading the instructions and becoming familiar with the parts and layout. Next, anything I can do to add power to the equation is generally considered.
If you have a nice battery powered drill and the proper nut drivers and some wrenches you can save many hours of wrench turning especially using the sometimes provided junk wrenches. You’ll most likely need a small step ladder and a hammer. Also because you move often you might consider those drive in anchors opposed to concrete for securing the legs. I know many people don’t like to secure the set because of grass cutting but it make a safe and solid swing. Good Luck!
Also if you don’t have all the tools you need Home Depot rents them for a small fee.
I've never had a Eli's chocolate chip cheesecake but it sounds wonderful.
