I Suck At Not Your Average Joe's

Last night, Karen and I were feeling a little lazy in regards to dinner. So, we decided to go out. It should come as no surprise that we ended up Not Your Average Joe's located in Norwell.

Unfortunately, I suck at Not Your Average Joe's. In retrospect, yesterday actually would have been a good time to meet up with my BFF (Kerry) for dinner at Not Your Average Joe's. Kerry, a fan herself of the bread at Not Your Average Joe's, had mentioned some time ago that the restaurant was having a 10 entrees for $10 each promotion on Mondays and Tuesdays and that she would like to go.

With yesterday being Monday, 10 entrees for $10 each it was! And as usual, I thoroughly enjoyed the food. (Sorry Kerry!) I had the sirloin steak tips while Karen had the house-roasted classic turkey blt with cup of soup. (Cue Rachael Ray's "Yum-O" sound.) The meal was very delicious. Truth be told, I don't think I have ever had a bad meal there. And Karen particularly liked our server (Debbie) who was just very friendly.

All in all, it was good. Following dinner, we headed home so that I could tackle renovating the first floor bathroom again. This would be my second attempt at using the Great Stuff insulation. The first time I used the spray insulation, I ran out because I had used so much of it around the window. This second time... not much better. But, I think I'm getting the hang of it. (I'll probably actually need another can of insulation.)

It was all about insulation last night. Sadly, I did not get to finish the insulation of the walls. In our efforts to be a little more greener, Karen and I had decided to use denim insulation for the renovation. Denim insulation, which is better than fiberglass in terms of the environment and cleaner particles and all that, is great! I can pick up the denim insulation, roll around naked in it (not that I would)... and I won't itch like I normally would with regular fiberglass insulation. I love it.

The only problem, however, is cutting the insulation. Usually, a utility knife does the trick for fiberglass insulation. Because the denim is thicker, the utility knife doesn't really do the job. I've been using a pair of scissor instead.

Anyway, I didn't get too far into the insulation. Nonetheless, I am proud that I have kept my focus on the renovation project... at least for now.
