A weekend at home

Gosh, I had forgotten what that was like! Goldie was completely spoiled on our first weekend home in a while! Dinner at Guapo's on Friday night in Shirlington, which means she gets to come along and have a bone along side our quesadilas and fajitas!

Saturday we golfed at Greendale. Mike was none too happy that we had a late tee time of 10:40 a.m., which guaranteed a 5-hour round. We played with these two guys who were good golfers, but took so LONG setting up each of their shots! Seriously, I didn't think anyone took longer than Mike to set up their putts. These guys walked out every single one, and had to look at the ball/hole from all sides. When hitting from the tee box or fairway, one of them did this "Hail Hitler" thing with his left arm - he'd set himself up, keep looking at the ball, and stick his left arm straight out. Then he'd look up at where it was pointing, to make sure he was lined up properly. Really, you had to just laugh. (and, yes, I realize that for my analogy to really work, he'd have to be sticking his arm out in front of him, and not to the side, but with speed with which he made the action, and holding it up there, really, it would have been your first thought, too!)

Came home, quick shower, and took Goldie to a new spot for us - Food Matters in Cameron Station. Fantastic casual food, including a "create your own salad" option. We sat outside with her, and discovered that even on weekends, Food Matters has happy hour specials of 1/2 price all glasses of wine and beer from 4:30-6:30 p.m. I'll give you one guess where you'll be able to find us for the rest of the summer from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Saturdays!

Off to see Batman: The Dark Knight last night. I really liked it. Christian Bale was a little hokey, but all the actors get that way in their second and third turn as super heros. Heath Ledger, though, was out of this world. I'm a girl who likes action flicks, so I really enjoyed myself.

And today? Being a wife. Lots of laundry (How DO two people create so much laundry?? How'd my mom deal with SEVEN people's laundry?? No wonder she always yelled at us for putting something in the hamper that we'd only worn once!), grocery shopping, and such. My herbs are over growing since I've been gone and not cooking with them, so I think I'll make some pesto to freeze and take down to the beach next month! Dinner sometime between Mike's two hockey games (thinking shrimp kabobs with red peppers and onion, grilled corn on the cob and coconut rice).

Hey -when do I get to have a wife?
