Another weekend that was just too short. Friday, Lisa took Katelyn for her one year appointment that went well as expected. If I remember correctly, she is 26 pounds and 31" long which puts her in the 95 percentile for her age. The only suggestion we got from the doctor was to begin weening her off all the milk in order to make her hungrier so she will start eating more food. Up to this point, we had taken Katelyn off formula and began giving her whole milk but she pretty much refuses all food except for stage two mac and cheese. Giving her table food is out of the question unless you enjoy getting upchucked on by a one year old. Friday night I went out with my friend Bo. We really didn't do anything real exciting but did catch up on the happenings in his life and more specifically his kids and his love life (not all that exciting). We basically just hung out at one of the local restaurant bars called the Brew House. I guess the brew house is now closed as of Sunday so I was one of the last to hang out there! We did attempt to hit one of the Mexican restaurants too for a Margarita but we ended up leaving as soon as we walked into the place because his ex-girlfriend was there.

Saturday, Lisa and I dropped the kids off at her parent's house and did a little shopping and got a bite to eat at Doc Watson's. We have been to Doc Watson's several times and the food as always been good but wow, this time it was terrible. We had chicken nacho's (again, we had these on two other occassions) and something tasted like a chemical or what I would think that nail polish remover would taste like. We sent the nachos back and the manager was pretty non-nonchalant about the whole thing. I decided to try a small white pita-pizza. Again, the food taste like chemical and I finally narrowed down the issue to the tomatoes. When I informed the waitress that the taste was coming from the tomaotes, I didn't even get a response. Lisa's salad (without tomatoes) was fine.

Later Saturday night, Lisa and I went out with Jill and Todd. We ended up trying a newer Japanese restaurant called Nagoya. Unfortunately, the restaurant wouldn't take reservations for the hibachi unless you had at least six in your party and the wait without a reservation to sit at the hibachi was 2 hours. We opted to sit at a regular table. I had a traditional tuna teriyaki dinner and Lisa had the chicken teriyaki. My tuna was a bit overdone but Lisa's was very good. We even had not one but two of their tasty fish bowl drinks that was loaded with Vodka, Rum some other libations and fruit juice. For the record, the second drink was Lisa's idea. We then stopped by Bar Louie's for a drink before heading to see The Bucket List.

The Bucket List
was cute but I don't think that it lived up to the hype. I would suggest seeing it but wait till it comes to video or pay per view.

Sunday, it was off to shopping and eating again. I know it seems like all we do is go out to eat but have you been to Toledo lately? We ran a few errands looking for birthday gifts for Shawn, went to Lowe's and to the grocery store for a few items as well. We also tried a new place to us but not a new place for breakfast called Rumors. It was your typical greasy spoon with incredibly large portions. I ordered an omelet that was so large that I could only woof down about half. I think this place rivals Nick's in portion size. Bev and Ted came over for Chicken Chili and I made a batch of my soon to be famous Channa and Naan.

This week we're supposed to get hit with a pretty good snowstorm by Toledo standards and I need to go to Cabela's to by the roof top cargo carrier I've had my eye on for our vacation in March. Giant fish-bowl drink for two (sorry about the quality--phone camera)Giant Omelet (another poor photo)
