I had a darn good weekend, if I do say so myself. I hope you had a good one too.
Friday I left work, picked up some dinner and was home around 8 PM. I was looking forward to chilling out after the LS Christmas party the night before. I ate dinner, chilled, chilled a little more and then started working on my annual holiday project. Years past, I've made fun DVDs/CDs that take days (no joke) to make and are enjoyed for about 5 minutes, if that, ha ha. Older, wiser, I'm sending out cards this year but as with anything I do, they're pretty cool, they walk the fine line between humor and charity.
Anyway, this was to be my Saturday project but I just started and could not stop, 2 AM and 67 cards later, I was done. I woke up Saturday around 9, was out the door around 10, with cards in hand...a good feeling to be done. From there, I walked up to Washington (main street) and went eyeglass shopping. I went to a place that looked like an eyeglass museum. I looked around for a while but they didn't have anything that was me. I did buy a pair earlier this year but I've only worn them twice. Both times I hated them. I went to another store, more Bob friendly, ha ha. After trying on 10 to 15 frames, I hit pay-dirt! I should be able to pick them up later this week.
After that, I went to Supercuts...no complaints there, always a super-cut. What kind of a productive Saturday morning is that?! Pretty good for me. I grabbed a slice on the walk home, picked up my laundry and walked to the laundry mat. Nothing to report there, except I was dosing off during the drying cycle. Dinner followed, TV and I was in bed by 1 AM.
Sunday I woke up at 8 AM -- very rare to be up this early on a weekend but I went with it. I got a shower, grabbed all my loose change and headed over to the A & P/Coinstar machine. Nothing gets the blood moving like carrying a bag of loose change through da hood, ha ha. After all the counting, I had $111! I was going to get cash but I looked over at the gift card rack and saw some $50 Old Navy cards...I need jeans, so I got two for myself. How about that?! I thought that was pretty smart...it's the little things.
I drove around after that, I was looking for a Jiffy Lube but couldn't find one. Honda says to change the oil at 5000 miles but I'm a 3000 guy....right now I'm at 3500, 500 beyond my comfort level. I'd like to get it done at the dealer but it hasn't worked out that way. While I was driving around, I saw my bank...I didn't know one was so close to me. I did a little business there with the old ATM and then went to Target. Yuk. Too many people. Why they don't make their purchases on the internet, I'll never know.
I drove home, had a small lunch, cleaned the apartment and took a rest with Billy:
Sunday
Sunday night I had dinner with my friends: Tiffany, Dave, Deirdre, Scott and Leigh.
Good times!
Scott took the reigns of Dave & Deirdre's stove and cooked up some great food. I haven't seen these friends in a while (read: 1-08-01 diary)...they're great people for still letting me in their house:) My friend Tiffany is moving soon. I've known her for about 10 years, crazy. I'm going to miss her but she's making the right move. So, good for her. I found out tonight that she has 8 cats! Last I knew, it was 4. That blew my mind! I love cats but couldn't imagine taking care of 8...better her than me, ha ha. Anyway, thanks to everybody for a great night!
Have a great day!
All my best,
Bob
