So the extent of our weekend was getting a lovely notice in the mail stating that our tires have been recalled. LOVELY! Mind you, it says that no highway driving should be done before having the tires inspected. Okay, we got the tires in March or something - do you want to know how much highway driving we've done since then? Good thing to come out of this - if they are indeed faulty, we get four new tires, absolutely free. And seeing is that we've probably done over 10,000 miles since getting the new tires, we're getting a hell of a deal. So that's what I get to do Monday morning before Old Yawk.
But seriously, that was the highlight of our weekend. I was looking forward to doing absolutely nothing, and that's exactly what we did. In fact, I was so lazy today, and so comfy in Erik's oversized Coast Guard sweats, that all I did was finish reading a book, watch "The Best of Pet Stars" on Animal Planet, and write in this blog.
But the weekend didn't totally consist of laziness and sweatpants. Friday we had our favorite meal of nachos and watched the movie "Kinsey." It was good and kept my interest, but it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen. However, it did contain a full frontal male nudity scene which never happens in movies, and the guy was actually cute AND young! Nothing like the nude scene in "The Piano" (if you want to be grossed out, watch that movie).
On Saturday, Erik worked until about 12:30 and I spent the morning catching up on laundry folding and working on a chair I bought at a flea market about a month ago. We then went to the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge. I wasn't sure if I was going to have a goodtime, but it was so much fun! Erik's boss is a full-time firefighter, in addition to owning his own landscaping company, so he and some of his colleagues were involved. Basically it was one big obstacle course challenge. Two different departments would do the obstacle course at the same time and whoever finished it first moved on to the next round. Unfortunately, Erik's boss' department was beaten by a department from Quebec.
That evening we hung out and were in bed by 11:30pm (yes, pathetic). We also had an overnight guest. Brad (of Kate and Brad) was up to see the Christian rock band Petra who are on their farewell tour. Apparently Maine was the closest venue from CT, even though it was literally in bumble Maine (out near Waterville/Colby College). He obviously didn't want to drive the 5+ hours back to CT from way up there, so he crashed at our place. We went to Becky's Diner this morning for breakfast and caught up. I haven't seen him since he and Kate got married last November.
Boom Boom Boom Boom....!
