Marathons

I always hate that every time I have a million things to do there's a marathon of one of my favorite shows on tv. Today I wanted to do the dishes, clean the apartment, work out a little bit, buy a new book at Borders, read it, go shopping with my mom (for new clothes - yay!), and who knows what else. But alas - there's a Psych marathon on USA. Fortunately for me, it's on the last episode of the marathon, so I can finally get some work done!

For those of you who have never seen it, you MUST check it out - here. It's a great comedy where the lead (played by James Roday) has great observation skills but pretends that he's a Psychic. It's freakin' awesome. Totally full of one liners and keeps me laughing the entire time. I love the actors too...I like to think they act like that in real life!

More Saturday details...

Sorry about the very abrupt post last night!! I was busy all day and realized at 11:30 that I really wanted to get my post in for the day, even if I did cheat a little bit. :) But...I did post twice on one day a few weeks ago, so I would still officially get 30 posts in 30 days. This is harder than I anticipated it would be, and I even mentioned that I wouldn't have a problem! I have posted every day, but I'm not totally proud of most of my posts - I really pride myself on coming up with what I feel are creative or fun posts, and some of them have been very boring.

So about yesterday...

I was able to get up early for me on a Saturday, probably around 8:30. I made myself some breakfast and Justin drove up to Woodland Park to go fishing with his dad. I took my time getting chores done around the apartment, and it couldn't have been nicer! 30 - 45 minutes of cleaning swapped with 30-45 minutes of Lego Star Wars. Before I knew it, I was hungry. Thought that was weird, until I realized it was 1:15! What happened to my morning!

I fixed myself lunch, then continued the cleaning/video game cycle from the morning. About 4-ish I drove to Sears to return a few items, and then drove over to my parents to greet my sister and her family and have dinner. I swear, her kids get cuter every time they visit! Now I'm totally pumped for Christmas in Dallas!! Then I get to see even MORE family, and all at once!

I got home around 8:30 and just chilled at the apartment until 11:30 or so before writing my mini-blog and going to bed. It was a great Saturday - I was able to relax and do absolutely nothing, AND feel that I got some work done and fit in social time too. The perfect mix and a perfect Saturday.

Today, I slept in a little later and have been watching the Cowboys for an hour or so. I'll be going to lunch with Justin, his parents, and his brother and his girlfriend. Not really sure what this afternoon holds, but I'm sure I'll enjoy another day of relaxing.

Miss-Mash Saturday

Didn't do much today, which felt nice. Got up a little early because Bailey had to go out, and watched random movies on tv.

I was able to get out with Justin for a while though. He recently got a brand new phone from Verizon and it had come out of the box with a defect, so I went with him to the store to have it replaced. I will never go to a cell phone store on a Saturday again!! Fortunately, it took only about 20 minutes to talk to a representative and then we were out of there after 10 more!

Then we were discussing lunch options and decided to go to Chilis, since they started back their 2 dine for $20 option. We figured if we went to a place like Chipotle or Panda express, we'd end up paying betwen $7 to $10 a person anyway, and at least at Chili's we'd make sure we got our fair share of food and even have leftovers. Best decision of the day!! He got ribs and I got a Bacon Burger, and between that and the queso with chips, we couldn't even eat our dessert! So yummy - and we ate around 2 pm, so by 8 pm we weren't even hungry for dinner!

Then we went grocery shopping. It's never a good idea to go shopping for food when you're hungry, so we couldn't have gone at a better time. Now I'm settling in to watch a movie or two before Saturday Night Live. Better be good!

Air Force vs. Army

Justin and I were able to get tickets to the Air Force vs. Army game today, that ESPN was actually in town for!!! Here are just a few pictures from our day:

The parking lot - over 45,000 people showed up to the game!

Me, of course!


Justin watching the parachute jumpers come down for the kickoff...

Us, pre-game!

View from our seats.

These are 48 flags that have flown for the United States at one point over 200 years.

Have a great night! I'll see you here tomorrow!

Saturdays

Saturdays truly are a wonderful invention.


Mine started off by sleeping in until 8 am (trust me - that's sleeping in for me). Bailey didn't actually wake me up this time - I just woke up right around that time and couldn't go back to sleep. So I was able to wander into the kitchen to make pankcakes and enjoy CMT's Top 20 Videos! It's becoming a weird Saturday morning tradition, but the music is great and I enjoy seeing what they can do with the videos.


Then I finally got a huge chunk of time to pick up the apartment. Dishes were done, and then I got distracted. Oops! They shouldn't show movies on TBS when I need to pick up! And, what's a Saturday cleaning without a Taco Bell lunch break? I got their new chicken taco salad, thinking "oh this will be interesting"- it was AWESOME! It of course didn't look anything like it did in the picture, but it was good and and I would get it again.

The morning was slightly sunny, but some storm clouds were hanging around. I wanted to take Bailey the dog park, but the rain finally caught up to the clouds. Which stinks, because he came back from camping with a cough and he's finally better and I wanted to take him out.


But hopefully Sunday will be sunnier and I can get outside!
