Look at this, two updates in a row! Not sure what direction this is going to take, but it probably won't be anything too great. It's early Saturday morning on a nice sunny late winter day. It's not too chilly out and I'm thinking about going for a run! I think that it will fill good to go running, come back and shower and then either cook breakfast or wake Amanda up and go get some. I'm craving coffee right now, but I've really cut back for some reason. No particular reason, but I'm down to a couple of cups a week now. I think that it probably has a direct relationship to how busy I've been at work.
Yesterday I came home from work and then went to a meeting until about 9 or so. I came home and we went to Pizza Hut. It had been a long time since we went to a pizza place to eat, so it was a nice change. The pizza was pretty good, but both of us filled up on salad before the pizza so we each only ate a piece or two.
When we came home I fell asleep early for the 6th or 7th day in a row. I've been really exhausted lately, and hopefully it ends soon. I hate sleeping too long and too early. I think that I've been fighting a cold or something the last week. I would almost rather just be sick for a day or two and then get better rather than fighting it for over a week.
So, I guess that I'll hit the highlights of the last two weeks.
February 14th was Valentine's Day. We didn't go out anyplace to eat since we had our Valentine's Day combined with our 1-year engagement anniversary earlier in the month. I did though pick up some portebella stuffed steaks and a cobb salad for us. We had that and some wine at home. I got Amanda a memory foam pillow which had memory foam on one side and a fiber fill on the other. That way you can flip it to what you want. It's pretty slick. I also got her a pair of Dulce and Gibana (sp?) sunglasses. I think that they really surprised by the sunglasses, and she seems to like them.
The 15th was Amanda's birthday (yeah luck me). We met with our reception site to fine tune the details and the menu. After that we came home and got around for dinner at Peterson's. We got there and I was going to give her present to her inside, but it didn't fit in my pocket too well so I gave it to her in the parking lot. It is this white gold stranded bracelet with a big heart in the center. A week or two before we were looking at jewelry and she mentioned that she liked it, so she kind of helped me pick it out. I don't think she thought she'd get it, but she did. She's worn it a lot since then so I think that it was good.
Dinner was great (as usual). They were a little slow seating us so they gave us a free appetizer, free drinks, and free dessert. With those items removed our bill still topped $130, so with the extras on there we probably would have broke $180 or so. Whew! It's a shit ton of money, but the food is soooooo good! The 16oz NY Strip that I ordered was perfect! I would almost eat PB&J every day for a week just to eat at this place on the 7th day.
On the 17th I had a LAN party at my National Guard unit. It was a fun time especially since a couple of my buddies were down for it from out of town, as was a couple of buddies that live in town here. I stayed up all night, drank a ton of red bull and managed to be fairly functioning the next day with only 3 hours of sleep!
The night of the 18th Wes was still here so we went with Amanda and her sister to a comedy show. It was fun...
That is about it highlight wise...this week was all work and meetings. These next couple weeks are going to be quite busy.
Ok, time to get on with the day!
