What a Weekend
As you probably know I had a four day weekend this week. I got off Friday and I don’t have to be back to work until Wednesday. I gotta say I love these 4 day weekends and I do not know what I am going to do once I get out of this gun club and actually have to work for a living. Good thing I have a few years before that happens cuz i can’t retire until July of 2015. Now back to this past weekend.
Friday night wasn’t that productive except that I caught up on my sleep. You see I was on the range last week and was getting up at 430 every morning so when I got home on Friday i took a shower and decided to take a “nap” figuring wifey poo would get me up for dinner. Well this nap turned into me sleeping through until Saturday morning.
I awoke Saturday feeling very refreshed and rested. I awoke when my daughter started crying at about 0730. I got out of bed wet to her room and got my little princess up. She started laughing when she saw me (common reaction from most people) I picked her up and got her some breakfast. After feeding her and changing her playing with her for a few and puttin her in her swing for a nap I sat down and wrote some blog posts that are delayed posts for when I am in 29 Palms for 2 weeks and doubtful that I have any internet connection.
Once the posts were written I watched some college football and just hungout while I waited for the wife to get ready to go (yes I was able to watch almost a full game while she was getting ready). Once the wife was ready we gathered up the crew and headed out to try and find her some scrubs for her clinical this semester (no go on that one). Then we went over to base and exchanged the Coach purse that I bought her for our anniversary so that she could get a Nintendo DS (I can’t complain about that as it saved me $30).
We then drove up to Lake Elsinore for a Storm baseball game (single A affiliate for the Padres). You can’t beat minor league games as the 3 tickets cost me $24 and we were in the first row down the left field side. It was a good game that saw Allan Dykstra (the Padres 1st round pick this year) crush a grand slam over the right field fence. That in itself made Saturday a good game as that cinched the game for the Storm and I am a huge baseball fan.
Sunday was a trip out to Costco to get household essentials and all that good stuff. After that we went over to my In-laws house for a great dinner. My Father-in-Law BBQ’s some ribs which were complimented with potato salad, deviled eggs, and some shrimp. Was quite a spread and I can’t complain (never can when he cooks actually). the rest of the evening was spent just hanging out in the living room shootin the shit with my wife’s family (not as bad as it sounds).
Since I had been pretty lazy all weekend as far as working out goes when I got up this morning I decided it was time to jump on the bicycle and get a good long ride in for some PT. I rolled out about 0900 and 40 miles and almost 2 1/2 hours later I returned from my spandex tour of the Temecula Valley completely exhausted. I ate a bowl of cereal got showered up and again went out shopping with the wife. We went to the mall and just spent the day together which is always nice. Got the baby some clothes, wife bought some undies, and got myself a pair of shoes. We then came home where I cooked the family a dinner of meatballs in cream of mushroom soup, rice and corn (quite delicious I must say.)
All in all it was a very good weekend. I got to spend some quality time with my family which always makes me feel good and I was able to get some other things done. I still have tomorrow off that I can spend doing pretty much anything that I want. Probably going to wash and wax the classic Pontiac that I have out there so it is pretty and clean. Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great week.
