I spent the morning at the Nissan dealership (oil change! filter change! something or other cleaning! $200 and change! Whee!) and of course at Dr. P&#8217;s office (see separate ranting post). (Except I left out the part where my appointment was for 10:45 and I didn&#8217;t even get out of the Waiting Room of Doom until 11:30).<\/p>\n<p>And then Gene and I went shooting. He&#8217;s a membership of a local wildlife association (don&#8217;t worry, we didn&#8217;t shoot anything but targets, and believe me, the targets got the worst of it). I shot big guns and I did pretty well. I don&#8217;t like guns, but I do think that when I have shot them it gives me a respect for what they can do. And I know one thing: I do not want to get shot. Holy cow that must hurt. It&#8217;s hard enough pulling the friggin&#8217; trigger.<\/p>\n<p>And, I made a birthday cake for Gene that we started eating on Saturday. It was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooks.com\/rec\/view\/0,1918,149166-239203,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">this cake<\/a> and it was delightful. I made it from scratch. Yes, really. The recipe calls for cake flour, but I couldn&#8217;t find any. I should probably have looked longer, but the cake was still good. (Oh, and while I was baking the cake, Gene bought me a bouquet of flowers. Yay!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Gene&#8217;s birthday was Monday.
