I Have A Little Winning, Too, Ramadan

So, my post 2 seconds ago was a little negative. The delivery was a little group of presents I got for the hubby. So there, Ramadan! I have some winning, too! I'm not the worst person on the planet!

Also, for the cultural record, gift giving isn't the way we (or anyone?) celebrate Ramadan.

I'm just too Midwestern to not be all, "Important holy days? EQUAL PRESENTS! AMERICA! 'MERICA!"

I mean, I may or may not have been part of a "Clowns For Christ" group in high school. That's how I know there is a god. Because there is no photographic evidence of that fact.

I bought 2 grill pans because the hubby is missing steak. My history with grill pans is not great. I have yet to find one that is easy to clean. These two were not pricey and were well reviewed on Amazon, so I thought I'd give 'em a shot.

I mentioned our oven broke, yes? I haven't mentioned how we're too lazy to shop for a new one. The electrician said the stove top burners still work, and although I was reluctant at first to use them despite his total confidence in them, I have come around. Now all we can't do really is bake or broil, and broiling was really the only thing we did on a regular basis.


Meat! It's what's for dinner!

I also bought the hubby 2 CDs and a book.


The hubby has wanted to read Moneyball since we saw the movie.

And, since he still only listens to the same 7 CDs
he had in college, I decided to try to expand his collection.

He loves Smashing Pumpkins
but hasn't bought a CD since, oh, 1994,
and I'm pretty sure the other guy
is from System of a Down,
which is another of his favorite bands.
Of which he has like, 4.
SOAD = a little too RAHR RAHR for me.

If I could whistle, I would whistle the tune
to Call Me Maybe right now.
I like a lot of terrible music.
Although I got 3 Glen Campbell CDs in the box.
I realize I am 50 years late to that party,
but he is awesome.

My iTunes is up to 9,088 songs.
They aren't all terrible.
At least like a couple are decent.


Isley 4 seconds after the presents came out of the box.

Pandora is also helping display the hubby's surprise.

Hope he likes everything!
