I Got Too Much
sleep this weekend, i really did. after a nice time with my gal pal sue on friday night (we watched "good night and good luck, which is wonderful), i probably got home around 8:30 p.m. and an hour later, me and the adorable one were in bed. we told each other it was the time change that was making us so tired, but the truth is, we were just pooped from another week of boring work.
we slept in saturday, at least until 7:30, as the adorable one had planned to go fishing with our friend matt. and he did end up going fishing with him, just a couple hours later than originally planned. so after breakfast at our fave place, the adorable one headed out. i watched a little telly and then feeling kinda migraine-ish, i crashed for a good four hours. when i woke up, i popped a tylenol pm and watched tv until i realized it was close to 4:00 p.m. and i still hadn't showered for the day.
so, i took a really nice, long shower. which is highly unusual for me. for two reasons. one, i take very short showers, never longer than ten minutes, if that. showering usually requires some work on my part, like shaving, which doesn't take long, but like everything else, i don't like having to do it.
reason two is i think there's a good chance i was like some kind of fish or dolphin or something in a former life. and i say this because i love being in water. i love swimming, floating, having water pour over me (like in a shower), etc. i consider myself a water person and what i mean by that, is that how other people find the mountains or the desert soothing, that's how i feel about water. i absolutely find it very calming, relaxing, and i'm in my element when i'm in water.
so, i should like taking showers, but i don't. there you have it. anyway, the adorable one got home around 5:00 p.m. and we went to what we thought would be a good dinner at yahooz, kind of an upscale trendy place. unfortunately, everything sucked but the service. our appetizer (a whopping $8) included two small onion rings, and three tiny skewers with one-chew size veggies and beef. not worth the cash. my caeser salad wasn't really that tasty (should have ordered the house salad), and the chicken and dumplings was overly salty. don't think we'll be going back. which is kind of a bummer as i would i have liked to have tried the chicken with the maple pear glaze, brussel sprouts, and potato hash (even though i am not a supporter of hash).
the point is, the meal was substandard for what we paid. the adorable one got his usual, ribeye steak, which was grilled to perfection, but his potato gratin thing was sick-o. so, yahooz is off the list of acceptable places to eat. am sure we would have had a better meal at jimmy john's.
so we get home and the adorable one is watching the usual stuff--his favorite movies ("the fifth element" and "the incredibles") over and over, and being a brat and bored, i go upstairs at 8:00 p.m. and go to sleep until 11:00 p.m. mind you, i've had a four-hour nap already and a long night of sleep the day before. made no diff.
anyway, the adorable one comes up and convinces me we need to do something fun, so we pull out the scooby game and play until almost 2:00 a.m. and then we go to sleep. i woke up around 5:00 a.m., because truthfully, i was totally tired of sleeping. i think i finally hit the motherload and just had enough.
so, i finished "map of bones", which was pretty decent. it's another knock off of "the da vinci code," but still a good read. thankfully, i have not napped today and for once, i'm glad for it. who would have ever thought i would have written that?
