Mike Holmes...Save Our House - Day 256

This morning had a much more pleasant start than the jolt from yesterday. I set the alarm, hit the snooze bar a few times and eased into the day. Coffee and warm Costco danish enjoyed with Mike was also much tastier than ramen noodles slurped down in the car yesterday. I assembled note card packages for the Tuesday trade show for most of the morning while watching Holmes on Homes on HGTV. If only Mike Holmes could save our house...I can hear him now as he peers into the bones of our home. Not up to code...unacceptable...shoddy work...if only they had done it right the first time. My fantasy is a home with no leaks, no wood rot, no broken windows, no cracked tiles and no mold. Cash depravity and home repair are not a good match.

Tonight Mike and I made Italian paninis at home before heading to Olive Garden to use up the tiny balance left on one of our gift cards. Last night we were much too full to have dessert, but tonight we were on a mission to try the chocolate gelato we drooled over yesterday. We bellied up to the bar and ordered our much anticipated gelato and coffee. The gelato was worth the trip...a big bowl with three scoops of dark chocolate frozen goodness, topped with chunks of dark chocolate and a caramel drizzle. Perfect for two. Dessert out combined with an Orlando Magic win was the perfect way to end a work filled weekend.

Many hugs and Go Magic!
