Carpet Cleaning today. The final step in the 'cleanup my life' actions.
On another note, D14 took Skylar (our beagle) to her moms last night. I think that's a good thing as he needs more attention. I'm surprised that after STBX told me a week ago that she missed Skylar she hasn't asked to have him over. Instead D14 did it.
D14 and I are going 'Thrift Store Shopping' today. Normally this is a favorite pastime of her and mom. We went a couple weeks ago and now it's apparently 'our thing'.
Got an e-mail from STBX where our legal aid person responded to her daily request for 'when can we sign the papers'? STBX is going away on one of her massage retreats on tuesday and wants them signed Monday if possible. Wants to make the end of October deadline 'we' agreed on.
Unless there is a point of contention that was missed, I'll sign them. Then she can go off on her retreat happy that she accomplished her goal. I'll have my whole family that week so I'll be glad that I'm doing something positive for them.
Clean house. Good sex. Great steak. Insightful book.
Yup. Try for the other three and see how your they affect your insight. I recommend checking out Alton Brown for the how to pan fry a steak...simple and amazing. And get away from the touchy feeling self help books and pick up something with a little heft to it. Sommerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge. The sex part...you're on your own, but you aren't far from Vegas

Ingredients 1 boneless rib eye steak, 1 1/2-inch thick Canola oil to coat Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Directions
Place 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Bring steak(s) to room temperature.
When oven reaches temperature, remove pan and place on range over high heat. Coat steak lightly with oil and season both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper to taste.
Immediately place steak in the middle of hot, dry pan. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium rare steaks. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)
Remove steak from pan, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate
I like Alton Brown, he tells you the science behind the "WHY" you do something in the kitchen. I think you'd like him to Frank. He has a show called "Good Eats"
