A mid-week weekend...
So yeah, yesterday was definitely a good day. I couldn't believe that my boss called me and told me not to come in to work. I mean, of course I had hoped that would happen, but I didn't actually believe it. So when my phone rang at 1pm and I saw it was a (616) number, I thought could this be? And it was a dream come true.
Instead of staying home like we should have and I was planning on doing, Chris kept listing off all sorts of things we should do with the day. We ended up driving to grandville in 4-wheel drive the entire way and I was so glad that work was called off because the roads were atrocious and I don't think my little car could have pulled it off. I think I would have gotten on the expressway and gotten right back off again.
We went to American Eagle because Chris had seen they were having monster sales and he got 5 shirts...each of them less than $10. It was quite a find and I was so happy that he found so many clothes for so cheap. We also went to Meijer and got groceries so I could cook dinner. Afterwards, we came home, made hot chocolate and sat on the couch for 1.5 hours reading. I finished "My Antonia" (FINALLY) and it was very bittersweet and I liked it very much. I plan on starting "Jane Eyre" next. I made maple-glazed pork chops with brussels sprouts (which I have never liked, but are pretty tasty when covered in maple syrup) which turned out quite satisfactory, then we put on pjs and had some wine and watched "Oceans 13." It was pretty much the most perfect day ever and much needed since last weekend we forfeited to my family and next weekend we're giving to his family. I miss my weekends so much, especially since that's the prime time I get to spend with my friends. And Jen is leaving next week and I feel like I haven't been able to make the most out of the time we had left. I miss my friends.
In fact, I had a dream about you all actually. Jen, Jessie and Keith were gonna have a game night and you didn't invite me. And I found it out from Jen as she was leaving for Keith's (which didn't make any sense since Keith lives in MY building) and I got really really upset because even though I knew about it, Jen actually REFUSED to let me come. And I was bawling all over the place and Jen was just laughing at me. It was actually really really terrible. I think I woke up in a sweat.
For all of you who had a crappy day, I don't mean to gloat about my day off. You can take comfort in the fact that I will for sure have a littered desk of WOFs and Bowling tournaments to make up for a day missed. I'm sure my luck is changing as we speak.
