Everybody's Working For The Weekend....

After an exhausting day off of work on Friday, during which I enjoyed a doctor's visit for a kidney infection, I have to say it was a pretty good weekend. Lord knows we needed it. I feel like we've been stuck on 80 mph for the past 6 months, so I have vowed to use the weekends for relaxation at least until the month of June. See how generous I am with myself?

Friday night we ate Chinese. That was the highlight. If that's not a sign the Mr. and I are getting old and boring, I don't know what is.

Oh wait...yes, I do. Our trip to Sam's Club on Saturday. The Mr. loves Sam's Club more than any place on earth. He wanted to go "look", which meant we bought staples like paper towels, charcoal, and laundry detergent. We almost got crazy and bought a yogurt/sorbet maker, but after we merrily strolled it around for 30 minutes, I declared that it would find the same fate as every other "specialty" appliance we have ever owned....we'd use it once and then it would end up underneath some cabinet, never to be used again. The Mr. was proud of my reasoning, although I sensed he was a little disappointed. He really likes "specialty" appliances.

Saturday night we did do something fun, and quite unexpected. We took our Mini, top down and all, to one of my favorite places in the world --- good ole' Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We ate dinner at DePalma's ( a fave of ours for years!) and then came home. It was so much fun and such a great way to end an otherwise uneventful Saturday!!

I slept late on Sunday - 7:30 - woo hoo. And then I did nothing. At all. All day. I decided to take my pajamas off before dinner....figured that was the polite thing to do. The Mr. made his world-famous BBQ for dinner and we watched a really bad movie -- Couples Retreat. I don't like movies to begin with, but bad ones make me want to scream. I refrained from screaming this time, and instead just slept.

And that brings us to today...another Monday. The Mr. is in Virginia for the week, so Rudy and I are holding down the fort....that, and working for the weekend!!! Lake Martin here we come!!
