Saturday Joe had to work. He went in at 4 am and he didn’t get home until midnight. Yep, he worked nearly 20 hours straight!
Needless to say, we didn’t end up going to the Chicago Auto Show on Sunday as we had originally planned. Instead we slept in, stopped at McDonald’s for breakfast, and went to a matinee showing of Deadpool which was awesome! From the beginning of the credits all the way through the two after-credits scenes we were laughing. I give it 4.5 stars. Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the character. I’ve always liked him, but even more so after the Ryanville commercial during the Superbowl and seeing him as Deadpool.
We also wanted to see Zoolander 2 when it was first announced, but the more we saw trailers for it, the less enthused we felt about it. None of the trailer scenes were really funny, so could you imagine how terrible the movie must be? Trailers usually have the best scenes! I do want to see it eventually, but I think we’ll just wait for the DVD release.
We stopped at Chipotle for a free lunch courtesy of the free entree promotion they were running earlier in the week when they shut down all the restaurants for two hours to go over food safety. I joked with Joe that if for some reason we contracted food poisoning at least I’d lose some weight.
So that was our romantic Valentine’s Day. We had already agreed weeks ago not to exchange gifts or do anything special this year. The holiday kinda sneaked up on me anyway and I didn’t even bother putting up my VD decor since by the time I had the opportunity to do so it was the day before. At that point why even bother?
