Yesterday I spent the day with Caitlin. I wanted to run down to Fire On The Mountain in Dover, NH to drop off my skis for waxing/sharpening. We went there and dropped them off. After that, Caitlin wanted to go to Red's Shoe Barn to see if she could get a new pair of good walking shoes, for college. All that walking around on campus, you need to have good shoes so your feet don't hurt. She was successful. She narrowed it down to 2 different pairs, a pair of Skechers, and a pair of DC's. She decided upon the Skechers, both for comfort, and compatibility with clothes. After we left Red's, we went to Friendly's for sort of a late lunch (around 2p). Then after that, on the way home, I remembered I needed to pick up something for my dad's birthday (for a belated birthday present). We headed to Rochester, NH to Home Depot. I tried to pick out a dremel tool for him, but I wasn't quite sure what he exactly wanted, so I got him a gift certificate instead, so he can go and pick out what he wants himself. So, we headed home. On the ride home, Caitlin was getting a little run down, so we decided to stop at Aroma Joe's and pickup a coffee. She got a mint pattie coffee, and I got a kahlua shock. That held us over till we got home. When we arrived home, my mom had made a nice dinner.... porkchops, baked potatoes, and rolls/veggies. She stayed for dinner with us. After dinner, we watched the movie "Into The Blue". I had seen it already, (just recently), and my parents wanted to watch it... so we watched that. I know Caitlin wasn't really enthused about it, because she's not a fan of Jessica Alba. After the movie, we caught the tail end of the Miss America pageant... Caitlin's roomie is a beauty pageant girl. That is pretty much the only reason we watched it. Not that she was in it, but I'm sure Caitlin will mention that she watched it when she talks to Justine again. Caitlin left to go home around 10:30p.
This morning I got up, and my dad wanted to get our living room situated. The entertainment center with our tv/dvd player etc was still up on dollies, so we wanted to get it down off that, and get the living room situated how my parents wanted it, until they get their new furniture in. (Remember how I said they wouldn't probably buy something this weekend when they went up to Bob's in Portland? Well, they did! Its supposed to be delivered early in February. I guess the furniture is coming from the warehouse in Connecticut.) So, we got that situated, and got the surround sound system all hooked back up. Then we got a call from my brother, that he was going to come up with his wife and the kids. So, I wanted to wait to see them before I headed over to Caitlin's. I didn't get to Caitlin's till after 2:30p. I left shortly before my brother did. Caitlin and I went to Shaw's after I got there... she had to run some errands. We also picked up a few small items for her mother. When we got back, we basically visited with her parents for a long time. Talking and sitting on the couch. They also fed me tonight, which was nice :) We had grilled chicken, rice and butternut squash. Well, I didn't have the squash, nor did Caitie. It was nice to just sit and talk after dinner with them. I really enjoy their company. I don't get to see both of them together often, because her dad works 2nd shift. I just got home not too long ago, and she was getting ready to head back up to college for the week. It was so great to see her again. I missed her. We are going to try and meet-up on wednesday in Portsmouth, and just spend a little time together.
Starting tomorrow, I'm going with my best bud to the gym. We both decided it is time to get rid of some of our "portliness" lol. I really need to. I've gained a bunch of weight, and I'm not liking the way I feel. So, my goal is to lose some weight and tone up again. I have a nice body structure, but a little bit of chub to get rid of. I've noticed my face has gotten fat too, and I want to slim it down.
Anyhoo, I guess I've babbled enough. Catch y'all on the flipside.
Until the next installment...
