Alright, I have been on the road and I’m not talking about flying to a destination, I’m talking about driving around from 6:00 a.m. and not getting into my hotel until 8:30 p.m. cause I was stopping every half an hour to survey “sites” then the next day up and at ‘em at 5:30 a.m. to get home at 4:30 so I could enjoy an awesome treat from my mother in law at Seven Stars.
Now, I was going to blog a bit last week about some of my experiences out on the road but it wasn’t a good idea as I knew I couldn’t restrain myself from dropping bombs and thus rendering the blog NSFW. I have since cooled down and regained the ability to cool down. I will tell you this, I have been working in this company for nearly 15 years and when I came home from my road trip I was so fed up with what goes on in this office (even when I’m not here) that I was seriously thinking about leaving. It’s OK now though because I vented to my wifey and she got pissed. Obviously I left it alone from then on and took my time getting over it.
Well that was road trip numero uno. I went down to the northern part of Maryland on friday for just the day which was nice to be on the road by myself to spend that special time with me.
So this weekend was pretty awesome. Our anniversary was coming up on Sunday and I still had no idea what to get my loving wife on our first anniversary. I had a few ideas but nothing that I really wanted to get her for the first anny. I wanted it to be something special something that we wouldn’t forget and after running some ideas by her and her completely rejecting them she asked me if I would take her to dinner at the Fountain restaurant in the Four Seasons. I jumped on it and made the reservation and told them it was our first anniversary yaddy yaddy yaddy. I think it was a great idea, it was more money than I would have spent on a gift but it was worth it. It was better than getting a gift I believe as well because an experience is something you can never lose and you will always be able to appreciate.
So our Friday night consisted of us going to pick up my truck that was for sale from the office, then had a good night of BBQ and a movie. The movie was hilarious. Cop Out with Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis and Directed by Kevin Smith. Fortunately it was not one of those movies where all the funny stuff happens in the trailer and there was no reason to see the movie. The movie was great but like most comedies it was funny for the first half and this movie was funny up until about 2/3’s of the way through then it was just an ending to a regular comedy. All in all a good Friday night , you know we’re getting old, isn’t that right, precious?
Saturday was also a very good day. Precious set up an appointment for a guy to look at my truck in the morning. I wouldn’t exactly say he “looked” at my truck it was more of a “thorough investigative process”. He was underneath the truck from front to back, checked out the spare, popped the hood, checked ALL the fluids but his wife didn’t like the interior. Oh well the truck was in awesome shape and I got paid cash. With the day off to a good start, my sister showed up and took me to do the paper work and then we had lunch. It was nice to do this since I don’t think we had ever actually gone out and had lunch just the two of us. I guess that’s what siblings do when they get older. I am starting to see a pattern here.
Well wifey ditched me on Saturday night to go to a bridal shower, boo. So I was in a toss-up. Do I have people over to chill with? Or Do I enjoy the house all to myself? Well I invited a few people and someone did come over. Excitement was contained though. I got to enjoy the house to myself for a while and then had company for a bit (thank god cause you can really get bored by yourself).
Sunday was the big day. Our first anniversary, I’ll explain the day but keep in mind that wifey enjoyed the day. We get up and go to Giant, once there and running around the store just browsing and getting some ingredients for cupcakes I was making her, she decides maybe we can just go to Sam’s Club, cause heck we have to pick up the mountaineer anyway that is at the office. So we wait at the “member’s services” desk for about half an hour so I can get a new card cause my other one got lost. Then we get to shopping, I kid you not when I say one of the first things we did was go over to the optical center to check out some sunglasses, prescription sunglasses) for my nerdy yet, wonderful wife. Anyway, we were at Sam’s club not much to say about that so we get home clean up the house a bit get showers and off to The Fountain restaurant in the Four Seasons.
This dinner was absolutely the best dinner I’ve ever eaten. I won’t go through the entire meal because I know some of you read the wifey’s blog as well, so if you want to read what we had for dinner, check it out here.
Other than that, I can’t really update anymore nor has anything happened that I’ve been awake for. You see I’ve been in a food coma since Sunday. Gluttony is my favorite sin. Yup, I’ll leave on that note.
