Enjoying the Weekend

Nobody took my last post too seriously, I hope. Granted, Aaron and I still plan on buying/doing all of the things on that list (except for Rosie), but it's not like we're going to go out this weekend and check off everything on the list. Some of things may never happen, and many of those things will be spread out of the next year or so.

Although this weekend's expenditures are clear evidence that the spending freeze has melted. Melinda and her boyfriend, Jason, came down for what should have been a huge softball tournament. Unfortunately for Jason, it got rained out. It was so great to see her again! We pampered ourselves with an hour massage which was a first for us both. It was... incredible! Next time... oh yes, there will be a next time, I'll have the massage focus just on the back, neck, and right arm. (Right arm cuz I'm a computer addict.) pure bliss..... :) Let's see, the four of us ate at Olive Garden, perused The Avenue and Wolfchase malls a little, and went down to Beale St. to get a diver's bucket at Silky's until we got frozen out... at which point we moved over to 152 to dance. By this point we'd joined up with Carl and Rogie, who'd remembered to leave his hat at home this time. :) (That hat got us thrown out of the club last time!) We got home around 2:30 am, at which point Aaron and I were so tired that we pretty much were asleep by the time our heads hit the pillows.

Aaron and I joined up with Melinda and Jason at IHOP this morning before they left for Missouri. It seems like such a short time that they were here, but it was great. And I'm so glad I finally got to meet Jason! Aaron and I think he's hilarious, and I'm so glad to see Melinda in a happy relationship! She finally has a boyfriend I like, lol.

On other notes, I got to buy three new pieces for my new job - a blouse and two slacks. We also stopped by Lowe's and, among other misc. items, bought some window decal sheets that when applied on the windows, give the appearance of stained glass. My goal is to be able to open the blinds in our huge master bathroom window without letting on the neighbors getting a clear view. The awkward thing is that the window is so huge that we had to buy three faux-stained glass sheets. Since I didn't want the seems to be unseemly (hehe), I bought some screening spline (thin black rubber tube) that I'll cut in half and then glue along the seams to act as the soldering between the stained glass panels. Not sure how we'll put all this together.... but it should be interesting!

Oh, and I start work on Tuesday! Exciting!
