Chicken & Porn

Yep....chicken & porn. Maybe it's one of those weird sounding yet really good combos like chicken and waffles? I'm not sure though. I never really got an answer as to what the chicken & porn thing was.

We had no power at our office starting around noon on Monday. ComEd notified us it could take up to 3 days to restore service. They rock. So....BOOM held office hours out of the satellite office, a.k.a., my house, yesterday.  We all worked very diligently around my kitchen table on our laptops...cell phones buzzing.....it really was a very productive day. (And, a giant shout out to David and Devin for helping me out by taking a quick break to run and pick up my car from the dealership---not that I needed it....GMC could've kept it til July 13...and they didn't seem to care that they still had it sitting there...it had been there for 5 days...in any event...since I can't drive, it requires a small village to do this simple task, so thank you to them for helping me out!)

While sitting around the table, David began speaking of chicken & porn.  I thought it was an interesting combo. Reminded me of the Seinfeld days when George wanted to have his pastrami sandwich while having sex.  One may view this as weird; others may view it as multi-tasking. In today's super busy world when all of us have so many things going on, maybe it's practical? Devin thought it was a bad idea because then his hands would be greasy---good point. I asked David what this was about. I didn't really get much of an answer as we were then discussing what to do for lunch. (Anytime we hear food, it opens a whole new discussion....and, honestly, so does porn...usually it's not at the same time....bonus day yesterday!)

We headed over to Butterfields since we couldn't decide on anywhere else to go. (I also have my 10% discount card there...thank you Northbrook Baseball) Jenna, Jordan's girlfriend joined us so at least I was not the only female at lunch. But this group of guys is way cool so being the only female doesn't bother me.  David ordered an iced tea which seemed to perturb Big Daddy a bit. He was nervous David was changing too much. I thought it was an excellent choice. I was still trying to figure out the chicken & porn thing---I can't let things go....clearly....this was another great example.  We got into a whole other conversation on sex that led to details on things I had no interest in knowing and left me feeling rather nauseous. I will not write these details...I am finally feeling better. But, really.........DIS-GUS-TING.

We headed back to the house and got a lot more work done. My boys came home...they seemed to love having everyone there. Simon made his daily bag of popcorn and didn't want to share with anyone. (shocking) He talked to Devin about his earring and they compared stories.  Jenna got bigger hugs from Simon than I have in a long time.  All in all....it really was a great day! Just as they say a house is just four walls and a home is where your family is......an office is just walls too.....wherever our BOOM family is....that's home.  And if there is chicken & porn....then it's a bonus.
