Didn’t do much this weekend, but somehow it flew by anyway. My car rolled over to 10,000 miles, meaning I’ll never be in the four-digits again. I took pictures, of course, but they’re still chillin’ on the camera. I wanted to see Juno with my friend Robin Friday night, but I asked 10 minutes too late - she had just made other plans.

Instead Brad and I used a gift card to have dinner at Chili’s. We may never return. Our table was uncomfortable, the food was extremely disappointing, and we never got the lemon for our water that we asked for. After dinner, still hungry, we went to Coldstone for dessert. It wasn’t until we had already ordered our Love It with sweet cream, strawberries and raspberries that we saw the sign indicating that they were currently unable to accept debit, credit or gift cards. We had no cash. They gave it to us for free (well for the single dollar we scrounged up and put in their tip jar), but we felt so guilty that we ate it outside in the cold car rather than sit inside. It really was delicious though.

Also, while we waited for our crappy table at Chili’s, which is at the mall, we walked around the corner to Old Navy where I found five sweaters for 30 bucks. I wasn’t planning to shop, but since I wear the same three sweaters to work every week, and since they were only $6 each, I splurged. I’m wearing a yellow one today. It’s snazzy.

Saturday I had my online class. Only it wasn’t online. I had to get up early on a Saturday and sit in a computer lab for two hours while people asked idiotic questions. My online class last semester was pretty cakey, so I hoped for the same this time around. Yeah, no. This course has about five times the work, and I’m not happy about it.

I spent the rest of the day doing stuff around the house until Brad finally got up, and we went grocery shopping. We spent $100 and came home with basically nothing. How does that happen? We also finally took our Christmas tree down, so things are no longer festive around here. In celebration of the non-festivity, I did some homework. On a Saturday.

Sunday was much the same. Homework in the morning, baby shower for a cousin in the afternoon (where I won the Guess the Baby Food game!), homework in the evening. I tried again with Robin on the Juno thing, but she’s mean and ignored my calls all day long. Brad hung a Nerf basketball hoop in our living room and entertained himself with that for a couple hours. It’s really fun trying to read textbooks with a six-and-a-half-foot tall man slam-dunking on his imaginary opponent in the same room. He’s cute though so it’s okay.

I didn’t sleep well last night, but that’s pretty normal these days. We’re in the market for a solution to our bed problem. We could buy a new boxspring and mattress, but I’m a pay-with-cash kind of person, so we’d have to wait until we could save the money. Robin suggested putting some kind of mattress topper over our concrete slab, which I think might be a good temporary solution, but have yet to seriously look into it. Brad’s vote is to hold out for a whole new mattress set, but my vote is for getting a good night’s sleep before next year.
