Weekend Recappy Goodness

Friday-
Rosendolf and I treated ourselves to Texas Roadhouse. Eh, we had a free appetizer coupon, so we figured we didn't want to waste that. We had a very awesome Cactus Blossom (the onion blossom), I had a steak & baked potato, and Rosendolf had some sort of black bean and chicken thing. Everything was good. We got home around 10:00, and Rosendolf called his mom, and I ended up falling asleep. He woke me up at 11:00, and told me to get my PJs on, and we called it a night.

Saturday-
I woke up, sadly, around 6. I managed to finally fall back asleep around 6:45, only to wake up again at 8. After 20 or so minutes of realizing I wasn't going to fall back asleep, I played a little Kingdom of Loathing, woke up Rosendolf, and we hopped over to McDs for some partly free breakfast. Yeah, we just don’t have good luck with McDs in the morning. My sandwich was pretty sucky. I basically ended up with just a cheese bagel. It was like a really greasy grilled cheese with like double bread.
After breakfast, we headed back home, and settled in to watch Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s stone. We got about 20 minutes in, and realized that the Hamilton County Library issue of this particular HP was unwatchable. The disc looked like somebody used it for hockey practice. We decided to see if the Amelia branch (Clermont County, thank you very much) had any in house. We zipped down there in the Matrix, and to our dismay, they were out. I looked it up on the card catalogue, and to our delight, there was one copy, at the Batavia branch. After only a moment of hesitation, we decided that we were fairly confident that small town Batavia’s 3rd street would be no problem for us to find, and we were off to the races again. After a brief detour at the seriously DIRT “dirt Salvation Army” in the Batavian outskirts, HP was ours to finish. The movie was great. Oddly enough, I don’t think I had seen it before.
After the movie, we shopped a little, and then went to see Charlie & The Chocolate Factory at the Eastgate Danbarry Dollar Saver Theater. The movie was good. Weird and different from the original, but good. Parts were more close to the book, but they still threw in stuff that wasn’t there, and took stuff out. I actually don’t remember liking the book all that much. Anyway, it was worth seeing.
After the movie, we had a quick dinner at Skyline, then went home and tried to catch up a little on tv from the week.

Sunday-
Woke up early, took a shower and completely lost track of time, and left a little late to get to our showing off of the Explorer at mom & dad’s. Luckily there was no traffic, so we sailed right in, a mere 3 minutes late, only to find that the guy apparently changed his mind. Stupid Herb, you could have at least called. It worked out though, because we hung out with mom, dad, Tara, and Olivia, and ate chorizo breakfast tacos. I actually tried them, liked them, and ate 3. It was all good.
Olivia is the best baby EVER. I spent the day trying to teach her what a birdy says. “Jeet Jeet” was the closest she would get for me, and I think I accidentally taught her to say “Dude” only it’s more like “uuuuude.” We also pulled out the sit-n-spin for her, only it was more like stand-n-spin, and she wanted NO help whatsoever in trying to sit on it and use it the right way. Apparently it’s more fun to stand. She’s also coming along with the sign language that they’re teaching her. She’s up to “Please” “thank you” “more” “shoes” and “drink” and seems to actually know what we’re talking about when we ask. I don’t know, she just seems so smart. She will throw something away if you ask her, take somebody something if you ask her to, and can get the new puppy to sit when she’s feeding her. Smartest 16 month old ever. She’s just so fun too. Her latest thing is making a fishy face, and getting you to make one back. She finds it to be the funniest thing since Chris Rock.
That afternoon we shopped a little, went back to mom and dad’s watched a little tv, admired my mom’s latest painting, and played with Sukie. Dinner was my mom’s fantastic lasagna, then we all sat down for Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets.
Somehow, people kept trickling out, and Rosendolf and I were the only ones to be left watching.

All in all, it was a great little weekend, at least in my mind.
