Weekend news and updates...

Friday:

Got to leave work early. That was cool. Drove home to pick up the wife. I walk in and she has a brand new pair of jeans for me, Levis, not the generic crap I already have. These are nice, hip and sexy. Perfect for me, since I'm nice, hip and sexy, damn sexy. A-hem...

Best thing... she found them at Ross for a bargain! So I change into them and we headed out to dinner and perhaps a movie. We take her car to get it washed. Afterward we stop at Carl's Jr. for dinner. We both want to have their Teriyaki Burger and their Chicken Ranch Club sandwich...

So what do we do?

We split them so we each get a taste of each one. Both were fantastic. Service was slow, booths and tables were filthy, got a fork instead of a knife (Ever try to cut a Chicken Ranch Club sandwich with a fork? Not easy.) and my chair was uneven. But what else would you expect from Carl's Jr? A clean restaurant? Ha!

We then thought that a Cap'n'Crunch milkshake sounded good, but the line was HUGE long, so we go through the drive through on the way out. That line was just as long. But the shake was good. I overheard a guy inside say it tasted just like Cap'n'Crunch... NO DUH!! It's made from Cap'n'Crunch. DER!!!

But yes, it was good.

Then as we drove away, I guess we both got pretty tired and we began to argue, about stupid things I'm sure. So I got upset and drove strait home. I went to the basement, my wife stayed upstairs in the bedroom. A good 3 hours later she wakes me up and we both apologize for being stupid. We drive to Wal-Mart to get dessert. (It's almost midnight.) She gets peach sherbet. (Sure bet) and I get day-old stale donuts. (Oh well, they looked good.) We laugh at all the weird-o's who shop at Wal-mart at midnight on a Friday night. (We're those as well I suppose.)

Get home and watch a movie called "Into the Wild" its a true story about a guy who just leaves everything behind and lives off the land for a few years, he dreams of going to Alaska to "discover" himself I guess. Well he makes it to Alaska, but... well I'm not going to ruin the ending... It was a great movie.

Saturday:

We sleep in Saturday (our 6 month wedding anniversary) til noon-ish or so... get ready and head out for some bargain shopping and lunch with my parents. Well, lunch gets changed so we get our own. Still manage to watch a movie, "I Am Legend." A great movie. Go to Ikea, Chinese food and a late night movie at the theater... "Jumper" another good movie. (Thanks to my wife for indulging me on the dinner and movie choice.) Got home and watched another movie. (Yes, we're movie buffs, we don't have cable TV.) "Vacancy" a pretty scary horror movie.

Sunday:

We really sleep in... especially with the time change. We get ready for dinner with my in-laws and make a quick jaunt to Ross near their place to see if they have any more deals. They don't. We have a great dinner, they gave us a ton of free treats from a gift basket they got, and two free boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. How cool are they? Pretty darn cool.

We watch "40 Year-old Virgin" (My wife was somewhat embarrassed watching that with her folks.) It's a pretty crude movie, but funny!!! Drive home and watch yet another movie... "Conan the Barbarian."

At this point we're spent... the trash is out and the laundry is done... time for bed...

The weekend ends with quiet talking until we fall sleep... I drift off with my iPod singing in my ears... my wife plays on the computer... the blue light flickering in the dark... dreams... tossing... alarm clock... sunlight and the morning drive to work...

And here I am. At work. This weekend flew by. I hate that. But hopefully the day will fly by too... then I'll be back with my wife... the best thing that has ever happened to me.
