Friday night we went up to the cottage. The weather report was crappy, but we hadn't been up in while so we decided to go any way. We were dog sitting for my mum so Dougie came with us. Friday night was beautiful. DH decided to go for a bike ride and when he returned, proceeded to tell me that he had fallen going down a really steep hill on a dirt road and now had some MAJOR road rash. It's so gross!!!! His entire calf and elbow are raw and scraped and look like something close to ground hamburger! It makes my stomach turn to look at it (or think about it).
Saturday, I had a 3 hour and 20 minute nap because it was raining... and it was really nice. However, DH's injury ended up being a little too much for him, so we headed home on Saturday evening. We went a rented 3 movies, Across The Universe, Semi-Pro and Charlie Wilson's War (none of which I enjoyed) and then got ice cream and went to my mums (dog sitting is much easier at her house than my MIL's). I was disappointed with how the weekend was turning out.
Sunday however was great
. It was one of those days that you feel totally connected with your partner. We got up early and I went to Timmy's for tea and breakfast to bring home. We ate outside on the patio because it was a gorgeous morning, we both sat and read our books for while then we decided to take the dogs for a walk out in the country. The walk was nice, but I was surprised how hot it was for so early in the morning. We couldn't go as far as normal because the dogs were hot and thirsty... but we still walked for almost an hour. We read some more and decided to go to our favorite restaurant for dinner (which is at the Casino and is a kick-a$$ buffet). By luck, my MIL had a free dinner for two because she's a Casino gold member, so we went and had a great (free) meal!!! Then we gambled a bit and I won 40 bucks and DH won 10! This is nice when your trying to save $$.... because every little bit counts. So it was an evening of money MAKING entertainment! Can't beat that! We took the long way home from the Casino through the country to look for houses. We didn't find any but it was fun. We took some roads we had never been down and explored a little. We forgot about gas prices just for the moment to have some fun together. We don't get much alone time at the moment because of the whole staying with my MIL situation..... so what little we have it great!
I'm sad that it's Monday. I wish we could relive yesterday!!! :) The only nice thing is that DH is working all days except one this week. That means he'll ne home with me in the evenings! This hasn't happened much in the last few months which is hard because he used to always work days, monday to friday and we got used to it. I'm going to try to think of some fun, inexpensive things for us to do in the evenings! Any suggestions?
