Memorial Day Weekend

And so it goes……

Busy weekend, no time to blog, no time to think. It is Tuesday and I am ready for a nap.

So Friday even though I was more tired then I had been in some time the only thing we had planned was the 7:30 showing of Pirates of the Caribbean. We were lucky and were able to exchange our tickets for an earlier showing because we both were going on a few hours of sleep from the show on Thursday night. I am getting old because I can’t handle it anymore.
So we went to the 5:30 movie and happy we did the movie being 2 hours and 45 minutes.
It was fantastic, not as I expected to end. I will leave it at that but always good eye candy to have Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom to look at for 3 hours.

That was the Friday night for me, it was over 90 degrees outside but the AC was on in the house and very welcoming.
Saturday we drove our happy butts to Springfield to go to the Springfield Quadrangle. Check out Neil’s blog for more info on this place. H&M on cute summer shirts and cheap costume jewelry we then headed home.

We headed home and sat in the AC for a bit then took showers because we were going out.

We started the evening at Bocado’s, my personal favorite. I had two glasses of the Esmeralda wine and fried goat cheese. Then we wanted to be a little bit Rock & Roll so we headed over to Ralph’s for a bit. Funny most people I hung out with these when I was single no longer go there and all the bartenders have switched over. Half the people I knew when I was frequenting there 3 nights a week are gone.. Moved away and I envy them.

Then Neil really wanted to watch the UFC match, so we went to Jillian’s. Talk about extremes in locale all night. We paid extra for the VIP section which was the back bar closed off, with free buffalo wings, chips and salsa and veggies w/ranch. After a few drinks there we headed home.

Not before me deciding it would be a great thing to train in Mixed Martial Arts. I am thinking about it.

I did something I have not done in sometime on Sunday…………..I slept until 10:30. Well I was awake for a bit around 7:30 but said fuck that and went back to sleep. It threw my day off but we go going around 1pm. Headed to EMS and REI to check out Kayaks . We went to the EMS in Marlborough and they had what we were looking for but said hell headed to Framingham to see what REI had. Not much!!

Went back to EMS and purchased Neil’s new Kayak

Very nice for the use we will use it. Then Yesterday morning we went to the EMS in Millbury to get mine:

Both very nice looking if you ask me……10 foot vessels because we only have small cars, unlike the rest of the “I love nature, but I am going to drive a huge SUV” people we like getting 35-40 MPG. I have planted the idea in Neil’s head though about a Saturn Vue Hybrid. Still gets 30-35 miles per gallon and we would have more room on the roof for the kayaks. But they worked out both ok on his car.

So yesterday we loaded them both up and headed to Stoneville “Pond” to do some breaking in of the Kayaks. The pond is located in Auburn about 2 miles from our house. We where able to put in at the corner of the pond on Oxford st. Cruised around the pond for couple hours and loaded the boats up and went home. Well to do the normal weekly grocery shop, fun fun..

Somehow we needed 140 dollar in groceries this week….Spent about 70 at Whole Foods on Saturday and 70 at Shaw’s…Oh well…More food in the house less eating out.

So all in all the weekend was enjoyable…busy but fun……back to work today on this fine short week, only these last three days to get my number for the month. It will happen.
