It’s been a pretty nice weekend. We had lots of fun and the weather has been gorgeous.
We only had The Boy this time because The Girl was at camp. Yesterday we saw the first showing of Surf’s Up which Joe and I really enjoyed. The Boy liked it too, but I think we liked it more thanks to the adult jokes that went over the kiddies’ heads. Afterwards we had lunch at Portillo’s. Since we’re trying to eat better and losing weight (I’m down 8 lbs. since May, Joe is down something like 20 lbs, the jerk), we skipped the fries. We still had the beef sandwich, however for dinner we had grilled chicken breast to even everything out.
After dropping The Boy off this morning we saw Live Free or Die Hard. I enjoyed it a lot. It wasn’t a movie we had originally planned on seeing until we caught the previews a few weeks ago. I love action films and that kid from Dodgeball and the Apple commercials cracks me up.
We stopped at Target this afternoon to pick up our 4th of July supplies. We got two different kinds of hot dog and hamburger buns, hamburger patties, hot dogs, t-bones, and the usual condiments. My mom is supplying the chips and potato salad. We also got the kids those snappers you throw at the ground. I’m really looking forward to Wednesday and the rest of the week. I only have to work two days this week and then I get to have five days of non-stop fun. Joe is off all week so he’s cleaning the house tomorrow so I’m off the hook for that too. It’s going to be a great week, especially if I can wear my new dress…
Last night I was ordering a shirt online at Sears for The Girl when I decided if I was going to pay shipping anyway, I might as well maximize my order. So I also ordered a cute purple and black bra and two pairs of thongs that have the fabric between the toes instead of the hard plastic. I’m hoping those will be comfortable and figured I’d take my chances since the white pair (Sketchers) were marked down to $10.50 from $30 and the other pair, which are brown, only cost $2.50. The second pair were available for pickup at the store so I’ll be getting those tomorrow or Tuesday. I’m hoping they match my new dress since I haven’t been able to find any decent shoes thus far.
