I Love Weekends Like This.....

.....just wish they could be longer! ;) I have to say this has been one of the better weekends we've had in awhile. Not because of any one particular thing but just a generally good weekend. I will explain briefly.

Friday:
We met up with Sara & her boyfriend and Austin's cousin and his wife at Duke's Roadhouse in Addison. It was a pretty good time. I did learn one thing though: I don't miss the bar scene at all. After sitting there for about an hour and a half visiting and eating, I was tired of the smoke that was encompassing the place. It was making my eyes sting and my nose clogged and I was ready to go! I also witnessed a bunch of drunk people dancing around, flashing my husband, and just in general making idiots of themselves. Guess I'm getting old because all that just seems so goofy to me and those people were older than I am!

Saturday:
Ran some errands and did the grocery shopping. Spent the morning and part of the afternoon CLEANING LIKE CRAZY. It was actually good though - put on some good tunes and went to work and I felt SO accomplished! It wasn't that our place was super dirty or anything, but just needed to tidy up and do the weekly cleaning and I took it a step further by cleaning everything just a little extra bit. Austin helped me when he got back from mowing the shop lawn, and we were so proud of our apartment! We celebrated by watching "Ray" which I had on DVD from Netflix (love it!) and that was a GREAT movie. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, but be prepared because it is sad. It is crazy to think how horrible African American people were treated back then and the struggles he went through being blind and being involved in the music industry. We met up with some friends for dinner last night and then came back to our apartment and played Texas Hold 'Em for a little while and then a fun and crazy game called Zobmondo. It was a What Would You Rather Do sort of thing with some pretty raunchy and funny things to think about and discuss. We had a great time, the boys played some video games as it got later, and I crashed on the couch after reading my book for a little while. We laughed and had some fun and that was great!

Sunday:
This morning we decided to sleep in a bit and have a big breakfast because Austin's brother stayed the night last night at our place. We then met up in Grapevine with his family because they were going to hit some golf balls on the driving range, but of course the weather wouldn't cooperate. So that was out of the picture. We stopped by Sam's and grabbed a few last things we needed, came home and watched the ER & Oprah (Desperate Housewives special) that I had TiVo'd last week, and watched the movie, The Forgotten. I wouldn't recommend the movie, I really wasn't very impressed. I like scary movies and psychological thrillers, but this one wasn't scary and turned out to involve something goofy that just made the whole movie pretty stupid. Oh well! Now, we are watching the Super Bowl (actually I'm mostly just watching the commercials!) with some friends. Go Philly! They are actually winning right now which is cool because I was born in Philadelphia and also always root for the underdog so they are my choice for the vening. I guess we'll see how the rest of the game goes. Haven't seen any outstanding commercials yet - the whole Abe Lincoln fry is weird but good advertising because I actually went to the website to check it out and found out they are auctioning off that prop on yahoo actions to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house charities and it's already at like $115,000+ with 6 more days to go. Pretty cool I guess :) Anyways, enough about silly commercials! Got to enjoy what's left of my weekend!
