Laid back in the noke!

Don't you just love those weekends where you have no plans and anything is possible? This weekend our plan was just to take it easy and not make any big to do's because I had to work on Saturday..I know..ick! Although it sucks to work for four hours on my saturday there's no denying that the weekend and overtime pay is a great way to earn extra clams!
Friday nite we headed off to have dinner and go see Grand Torino which I had been promising Lee we'd do since he suffered through bride wars (and loved it!) and Marley and Me with me! (read the book first!..I read most of it on my Minnesota trip!) Grand torino was an amazing movie. One of the best I've seen in a while. I gotta hand it to Lee..I never want to go to his movies but 9 outta 10 times (that one time being twilight..UGH) his movies are generally good! I would see this one again..and its a keeper..we'll be buying this one! We havent bought a lot of movies lately like I used to do...its just pointless to rack up on all these movies! Its a waste of money...so Im usually satisfied to rent it and get it out of my system these days! Grand Torino ..however will grace our CD storage cabinet for years to come!
On Saturday slept in (a rarity) and Lee made pancakes for breakfast! Yummy..my man can cook..when he wants to!(yes I can ROYALLY screw up some pancakes!) After breakfast I caught up on a little TiVO and went to work! We used to be able to go in and work any hours we wanted on saturdays..now we are scheduled at certain times. This Saturday in particular I had to work 1-5 (I hate that shift..I like the earlier shift..i dont like to ruin my entire mid-day Saturday with work! After work Lee secured a table at our favorite mexican eatery and I took a shower and got ready to meet Jen! We went over to Jen and Chase's NEW house in Botetourt! It's awesome! Of course anytime we get to spend with Jen and Chase is awesome...Not only are Jenny and I helping each other with our wedding planning..she gives me a ton of great pointers for teaching!! Speaking of school...its going very well..I have my first exam in 2 weeks! Jen if you're reading this, I love you. You have been there the longest..and through everything..it is inevitable that we will always be the greatest of friends..! Jenny and Hope! Those two have been the two that I have always been able to count on...All the others just screwed me straight into the ground! ANYHOW..Saturday was perfect.
Today We decided to run some errands...went to AC moore for some DIY wedding stuff..I KNOW but I'm getting a head start!! September 4 2010! Speaking of...next Sunday My parents and grandparents and Lee's mom are going to meet us at our venue of choice for brunch and to check out the place! I think it was probably the easiest decision Lee and I have ever made...I will give more details on that later...Lee and I do everything backwards so no more secrets will be revealed until we're engaged! (god only knows when!) after AC moore we headed over to Mostly Sofas! LOVE IT! we are looking around for some new couches and living room furniture! We love our wonderful ottoman but now it just needs some spicing up around it. We have yet to order our rug that is the next step but for now we're just browsing our possible seating options! We just got some new great bedding that really brightened up our bedroom and it made a huge difference! Thank you Bed Bath and Beyond..and Pottery Barn! AND thank you John and Sherry for all the fab tips on decorating..it pays to associate yourselves with a couple of great interior designers! We did our annual grocery shopping trip today as well..so for now I'm writing this blog when I should be finishing up some cleaning and while Lee is havin' some fun with Jason I should start dinner! Yummy pepper Jack and spinach stuffed chicken breast! This is a new one..I'll let u know how it turns out haha! Have a great week everyone!
