The Late Weekend Update

i get that it's tuesday and we're heading towards hump day, but i haven't felt compelled to write lately, so figured it would be a good way to get some words out. i'm in a small depressive funk (i get it--being depressed = being in a funk), and am sapped for anything interesting to write about. so here's the 4-1-1 on our weekend.

on friday night, we braved the crowds and had a decent dinner at bravo! when we got there the wait was an hour, but we scooted over to the seating area that is in front of the cooking line and enjoyed a good meal while everyone in the waiting area sat there like hungry bumps on the logs. and for choosing the seating in front of the cooking line, you automatically get free spinach & artichoke dip. and while i do like spinach & artichoke dip, it's not something i like to fill up on. especially when there's bread and flavored oil to enjoy.

so, saturday, we had breakfast at our favorite place and then the adorable one went with our friend matt to cabelas to buy a bunch of fishing stuff (lures, a boat motor stand, etc.). so, i did what i always dream of doing, and took a nice, long nap. by the time i dragged myself out of bed, we had enough time to grab a sandwich and then pick up our dear friends, dan and jan, to see "300", which was incredible and awesome.

i can totally see how it made $70m at the box office, as it was a great (true) story, had terrific action sequences, and it didn't hurt to have a bunch of guys essentially running around in their underwear with their perfect sixpacks on display. yum. still, no competition for the adorable one.

for dinnah, we ventured back to ted's montana grill, which was quite good on our first visit a few months ago, but on our second visit, our waiter treated us like dirt. hence, we had not been back. but we got our original server, owen, who is quite nice and took great care of us.

sunday was very lazy and low key as the adorable one had come down with the flu--the usual stuff, running a fever, achy, and lots of drainage and a hacking cough. so we caught up on all the "veronica mars" episodes that we recorded with our dvr. not a bad way to spend our day, as we did a couple loads of wash, stripped the bed, put on fresh sheets, and did some other chores. thankfully, the adorable one is slowly starting to feel better, so am hoping he'll back to his normal self, or at least closer to it, by the weekend.

so, that's the latest from princess superstar headquarters. wish there was more to say, but last week really kicked my ass from an emotional standpoint, and daylight saving time compounded the situation by making it hard as hell to get up in the morning. today already felt like thursday and we have another three days to survive.

and did i mention that i am not sure if i am going to apply for a more senior position in our group? yay, it's not that i am not interested or that i don't want to move up (damn, do i ever), but i don't get the feeling that i could get selected for the position. still, the fighter in me says "go for it girl." just wish it didn't feel like a struggle to put myself out there, you know?
