I’m a big one for work, as you guys know, but this weekend has been about fun. I have actually taken the entire weekend off. Trinity is with her father, so Jon and I have been on our own. Friday was socializing with the writing group. Saturday Jon and I watched three hours of Tivo television that we’d been trying to see all week. Since we average about an hour of television a day, three hours was pure indulgence. But I didn’t feel guilty, it was relaxing. Sometimes a little coach potato time is exactly what’s needed, especially when watching with my sweetie beside me.
Saturday night was serious date night and grown-up time. I’d tell you what we did, but then I’d have to kill you. Your clearance is not high enough, yet.
Today, Sunday, we saw Iron man with our friends Mark and Sarah. The movie was way fun, and though I had my doubts about Robert Downey Jr., well, he is Iron Man. We had lunch before the movie at The Blue Owl in Kimmswick. They have great food, and deserts that are so dangerous that just looking at the case gives you a sugar rush. The restaurant has appeared on the food channel, and deservedly so. Sarah and I have been going there for a girl’s lunch for years, but it’s only been in the last few years that we’ve included our husbands and made it a couple thing.
The decision for the evening is do we eat dinner, or do we eat the deserts we got from the restaurant? There’s no way to do both.
