As I mentioned in earlier posts I am off of work for 2 weeks. For the first several days I barely left the house. Yesterday though I actually got out a bit. My went out to lunch at my favorite restaurant with my sister's ex-boyfriend (also a very good friend of our family). I haven't seen him in several months though, so it was refreshing to see him again. He just recently became a grandfather, how sweet.
This is my favorite restaurant, BD's Mongolian BBQ. This one is located on Main Street in Ann Arbor. I also frequent the ones in Novi, Dearborn, and Royal Oak. The one in Royal Oak is the original one. Although they recently moved that one down the street to a larger building. For those of you that are not familiar with BD's I'll explain. All of the raw ingredients are placed on a buffet for you to pick and choose all that you want. Did I mention that it is all you can eat? Anyways, my bowl included (as pictured above):
chicken, sausage, lots of onion, carrots, broccoli, water chestnuts, peanut bits, scallions, three different kinds of sauces (all HOT), along with curry.....YUMMY!! Then I take it up to a large circular grill, where the grillers cook it up for me with some large untensils that resemble swords. Once it is done I top it off with some hot sauce. PERFECTION! Served with rice and tortillas, I am in Heaven.
The Grillers job is also to interact with the customers. Joking, laughing, singing etc. Makes for an interesting eating experience. One that my kids and I enjoy experiencing often.
Speaking of my kids, I am taking them afterschool to meet their father. He usually gets them one weekend a month, depending on his schedule. Our visitation schedule is very flexible. Usually whenever he asks for them I let them go. This just happens to be this month's weekend. I have no particular plans so far.
My girlfriend Kathy sent me an email yesterday. The email read "I have been trying to call you but you don't answer your phone, you must be TOO BUSY!" HAHAHA, I haven't been at all, my cell phone has been broken for the past week. I went through hell trying to get them to send me a new phone. It should be here today. The first guy told me no that my phone couldn't be replaced that I would have to buy a new one. I told him that I didn't like what he was telling me, and that I wanted to speak to someone other than himself. I spent about 30 minutes arguing with him about the phone. The next person I spoke with agreed to send me a new phone within a matter of minutes, it was that simple. GRRRR! Moral to story, never settle for no...if I would have I would be spending another small fortune on a phone right now, instead I am getting one for free.
I know it's boring, I'm boring myself right now. Time to watch another movie.

How sweet? A grandfather? Your younger sisters ex-bf? Either he is much older then Im thinking or is leading a totally chaotic family into an even bigger mess for the rest of the world to deal with. How old is his daughter? Or son? Must be about 15? Twisted! Must be a democrat!
Wow I didn't realize that writing about having lunch with a family friend would get anyone upset. Yes sweet, becoming a grandparent is a sweet thing. Maybe you should reread the post, I never said anything about a younger sister. I don't have a younger sister. He is probably in his mid 40's, I am 36 and I have an OLDER sister. His daughter is in her 20's. Twisted? I don't know you tell me.
