#310 fun weekend

We did something each night during this weekend, which is very unusual for us. It might not be much, but it was fun for us.

On Friday night I usually go to the gym, but I'd been to the gym on Monday and Wednesday night, so I decided to go on Friday morning so I could spend time with the boys on Friday night. We decided to go out for dinner and do something else to be determined. We went to Jordan Landing where we had dinner at Rumbi Island Grill. After that, we headed over to the bookstore for some browsing. Boring, you think? No way! We love to go to the bookstore. I went over to the self-help/fitness/health section and sat on the floor reading a book about hair. My hair is pretty curly and dry and frizzy, and I want my curls to look nicer, so I had to read about how to take care of it. After that I read from the book "Arthritis for Dummies", learning about the different types of arthritis, how to treat it, and the surgical options. One of the main recommendations is to lose weight, and I've been doing that, but the darn knee hurts ALL THE TIME. I think joint replacement will be in my future, but not for awhile, hopefully.

We did buy a book each. MT and I got the new Pat Conroy book, "South of Broad" and the new book by Dan Brown, " The Lost Symbol." T got a book too, "Candy Shop War." Have I ever mentioned what a great reader T is?

Saturday was busy. I went to cycling class in the morning, then to the WW weigh-in and meeting. Down 2.2 lbs this week! HOORAY!! After the meeting, T had soccer practice and his game. He played great, taking three shots at the goal. He hasn't made it yet, but it's only a matter of time. He was awesome! I took Osi to the game with me, because she had an appointment with the vet right after the soccer game. She did well. She mostly just laid down, sprawled out on the grass and watched the kids. Her vet appointment went well. She's now fully innoculated and ready to enroll in puppy training classes. More on that soon...

In the afternoon, MT went to the rentals and I cleaned the house. It needed it. I like it when the house is clean. While cleaning, I watched the Utah football game. It was sad to see the nation's longest college football winning streak come to an end. At least BYU lost too (and badly!)

In the evening MT and I went to see a movie at Brewvies. Brewvies is a movie place with food. We had beers and shared a giant plate of nachos while watching "The Hangover." Have you seen that movie? FREAKIN' HILARIOUS! We were laughing out loud, slapping our knee, wiping our eyes laughing so hard. I'd see that again. Good movie. And the nachos were good, too. We'll go to Brewvies again, I'm sure.

Last night there was a terrific lightning storm followed by a good rain. AHHH.

Today we were all moving kinda slow. I slept in until almost 9:00. Sunday is the one day a week that I don't turn on my alarm and I just wake up whenever I want. I did wake up around 7, then fell back to sleep. The same thing happened at 8. I only woke up because MT came in asking if something was beeping. I didn't know what he was talking about, but I guess the smoke detectors were chirping because they need new batteries. I didn't hear the one in my room chirp.

Around noon, my in-laws came over. They had dropped MT's bro Kevin off at the airport. We had some lunch, then hung out on the deck in the warm sunshine - it was a beautiful day! - then I went over to Kohls to buy gifts for a couple of baby girls. While I was there, I bought myself a new pair of pants, a couple of tops and some undergarments. I like Kohls.

Tonight the boys and I went to a golf club in Draper for a going away party for my friend Kyle. He and his wife and their new baby girl are moving to the Chicago area because Kyle got a new job. It was a nice gathering. T got a little crazy with his lemonade and I ended up wearing some of it, but it dried and was fine. T felt bad, poor little dude. It's ok, T! All the people that were there are super nice, and we had a good time.

Now we're home and the weekend o'fun is over. This week we're looking forward to going to the Ringling Bros circus on Thursday night and The Killers concert on Saturday!
