Kelly Clarkston and Wild Weather

Posted by Cat's Litterbox | Weather | 2:46 PM

So we bought Kelly Clarkston's new cd a few weeks ago. Not sure how everyone reading this feels about her, but we love her. Her cd is so great! It's very catchy!

We are having some crazy storms here in NC!! Last night there were a bunch that ripped through and cause tornadoes and then we're currently on a tornado watch until after 9pm tonight.

Trying to stay dry!!!

Cinco de Mayo

Posted by Cat's Litterbox | American Idol, Dinner | 9:23 PM

So today is Cinco de Mayo! Whoo hoo!! Viva Mexican independence!! LOL We had some CRAZY storms tonight-- tornadoes and such and fortunately, Steve made it home safely from work. The people at Burt's had to take cover because there was a tornado warning issued for Wake County. Kinda scary-- and he was in a car.

Steve got home from work and then we decided to try a new Mexican place for dinner. Los Tres Mayguyas (something like that) in Fuquay-Varina. It was VERY clean and Cathy really liked their salsa-- however, the rest kinda fell flat. The sauce used on the enchiladas wasn't very appealing and the beans and rice weren't the best. We decided to try something new, but we'll be going back to El Mason again.

The service at the restaurant was SOOOOO SLOOOOOW!!! They only had two servers for the entire restaurant (apparently the others called in sick). It was packed and two servers. So, dinner took a lot longer than we had hoped.

Then we drove to Sonic for dessert (small cream pie shakes) and they had super slow service too! It took more than 30 minutes to get our shakes! We ended up getting home at 8:40 and missed 40 minutes of Idol (Cathy was NOT happy). It was rock week and we were both really excited to see how the top four did, but because the DVR had something else listed as a priority-- it didn't record Idol!

Oh well... it's just television right?

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!!

Chuck Dio

So we just got home from picking up Chuck. The dealership said they resealed the windshield. Hopefully that's all that needed to be done. We'll find out when we're out in the rain next time.

Cathy went to the movies today and saw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. She said it was alright. Very predictable and was exactly what she expected it to be. Of course, she loves Matthew McConaughey so it was more like a movie of drooling over him than anything else. LOL.

That's it for today...

Bulls Game

Posted by Cat's Litterbox | Bulls Game | 2:53 PM

We're about to head out the door to our second Bulls game of the season. We're excited. It's supposed to rain tonight, so it could be an early night for us. Fortunately, we have seats that are under the cover so we won't get too wet.

Happy Sunday!!

A Post A Day In May

Posted by Cat's Litterbox | A Post A Day in May | 6:02 PM

Well it has been a while!! We've been having so much fun that we've lost track of the time! :)

We have finally finished updating the Walker Website! Please check it out if you're interested! www.steveandcat.net/steveandcat. It's wonderful and has a bee theme. We hope you enjoy the pictures!

Cathy got a new Ford Edge about two weeks ago. She has been wanting one for a while now, and it was the right time to buy. We were able to get 0% financing, and they gave us a pretty good deal on her Escape. It wasn't as much as we had hoped, but it needed the air-conditioner fixed and now we don't have to even worry about it.

Cathy is on her track out right now and has been enjoying herself. We rented a beach condo for her next track out (July-August). We'll be on the beach and it'll be nice to get away for a few days. We'll have a chance to explore the Outer Banks and see the coast of NC. The next trip after that one will take us to the mountains. We'd like to see the Biltmore House and some of the other neat things in the mountain region. Cathy teaches her 4th graders about the state and all the cool things to do and see in NC, so it'll be great for her to see some of them first hand!

We have partial season tickets for the Durham Bulls. We had our first game of the season during Easter weekend (the Saturday before Easter Sunday) and we have our next game tomorrow night. It's a Sunday night game (which stinks for Steve), but it should be fun. We're really excited for the games when there are fireworks after. We have excellent seats too. They are right behind home-plate!

That's about it from us. We'll be trying to keep up with the "Post A Day in May" idea. We're already a day behind, but we'll see if we can do it. We're ready if you are!!
