Weekend Fun

We have had such a full weekend and yet so productive. The highlights for me are varied but all wonderful. My least favorite part had to be Saturday morning because both of us were working. My job has been crazy lately which is good for the company and I suppose it’s nice to get a little overtime too. But the fun started after work. 

We had some errands to run which doesn’t sound too exciting but they were fun errands. First stop Staples to get some ink and paper. I didn’t even know the paper had a rebate offer with it so after we get the rebate (which you could submit online) then the ream will have been 50 cents, which is really cheap. Yay. When they say easy rebate, they really mean it. I am now a Staples fan.

Second stop was one of our now favorite burger places Five Guys. I was privileged to have frequented there on the east coast during my Camfel days. That was the only place they were located at the time and I was sad to leave them behind. But apparently they understood what a good thing they had going and have started opening them all over the country. There are 2 within 20 minutes of our house now. It’s a beautiful thing. They have really good burgers and fries. Needless to say, we always love it when we can splurge a little and have lunch there. 

Third stop was Sports Authority. We had a $10 gift card and had decided a few weeks ago that we were going to invest in a couple tennis rackets. So we did. Then later we went out and played tennis again. John and I are pretty even which is good because we really push each other and bring out the best, and sad to say, worst in each other. But isn’t that what a good marriage is all about? Helping you fine tune the best and bringing the worst to light so you can work on that too? All that to say, it was not my best performance tonight but I hung in there and did win one set.

This evening flipping through the channels looking for something to relax and watch we stumbled across WttW and the Rock Symphony with David Garrett. At first I just wanted to check it out but then I found myself intrigued. It was really good and I feel like such a nerd for saying that but so be it. I am a nerd. I think that the symphony / rock mix is a really complex and beautiful sound. He played a wide variety as well. I enjoyed it as background music as I sat here writing. 

The only other thing I did tonight was write my review of Jurassic Park, the book. You should check it out.
