The Good Stuff, Day 24

THE GOOD STUFF - DAY 24: JANUARY 28, 2017

* LEX DIDN'T FREEZE TO DEATH

He also got home a couple hours earlier than expected. He also had a lot of fun.

* TANIS AND I PLAYED WOW

WOW stands for World of Warcraft and it'd been awhle since Tanis had played. But I needed something to do and wanted to spend time with him. We got starting characters up to level 8.

* I DID A FAVOR FOR A FRIEND

It required driving her vehicle and taking her boys to the Game Store, but I was headed there anyway, so it totally worked out.

* SPENT THE NIGHT AT THE GAME STORE WITH ERIC

It's pretty much our date night every other week. It's fun to see him interact with the different friends he's made there.

* ERIC DIDN'T COMPLAIN TOO MUCH THAT WE HAD TO STOP AT THE STORE

We're usually short on something, so he usually has to stop on his way home anyway. But he was in pretty good spirits about it and didn't complain too loudly at my aimless wandering.

The Good Stuff, Day 16

THE GOOD STUFF - DAY 16: JANUARY 20, 2017

* I GOT LOTS OF REST

I woke up not feeling real well, so Eric managed to get the day off. He made sure I stayed in bed all day and got the rest I needed.

* THE REST WORKED

When I finally got out of bed around 2:00, I felt like I could function again.

* ERIC AND I FINALLY GOT TO RODIZIO

Thanks to a very generous gift card from the game store, we enjoyed a good night with wonderful food. Lots of bacon!

* I GOT DESSERT!
I tend not to eat dessert at restaurants cause it's usually overpriced and I don't have room. But thinking there was a little more money on the gift card than there was, I indulged. It was delicious so I don't even care that we had to pay for it.

* WE HAD SOME GREAT CONVERSATIONS
I always enjoy the times when we can actually talk without being interrupted and we forget what we were even discussing.

* WHEN WE GOT HOME ERIC FIXED OUR PERMANENT LIGHTS
Really it was just getting the color I wanted, but he did it - cause I just couldn't get it right. Take note: white light, isn't really a white.

* WE TOOK PICTURES TO REMEMBER THE NIGHT
True, it was at home and in our driveway and after our date, but we did it.

The Good Stuff, Day 12

THE GOOD STUFF - DAY 12: JANUARY 16, 2017

* I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE DAY OFF FOR THE KIDS AND HAD THEM START A NEW CHORE LIST

It went over pretty well. Only had complaints from the 6 and 8 year olds. Everyone else did what they were supposed to and made it work. 

* ERIC AND I HAD A LUNCH DATE

We had originally planned to go to Rodizio as we had a gift card, but ummm - they don't open for lunch during the week....we ended up at Applebee's instead.

* THE WAITER MADE SURE TO GIVE US THE 2 FOR $25 DEAL

We had looked at the meals for the 2 for $25, but somehow missed something. We both ordered the same size steak and then because I wanted Mozzarella Sticks, the waiter said, "I think you can get the 2 for $25 with this." Sure enough, we did.

* WE GOT SOME GROCERIES

I need to make a soup for an activity tomorrow, but while we were shopping I found a collage frame that I'm super excited about. There is an open wall space that's been making me crazy, but I think this frame will be perfect for that space. 

* PLAYED THE DICE GAME WITH LEX, AGAIN

It was a super close game, but I won in the end. I'm telling you, that's not normal for me.

* I GOT ON TOP OF MY GAME FOR THE DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK DESIGNER I 'WORK' FOR

For a few months, it seems every one of us on her team were just busy. So the blog side of things went down the drain. With the start of the new year she wanted to be more on top of things and asked for all of us to do the same. I'm the blog editor and part of my job is to get the schedule planned out ahead of time. Well I got February's schedule up and running. Yay!!!

* I FINISHED MY POETRY BOOK SELECTION FOR JANUARY

Some of Poe's works are really hard to read, so I was thankful the book wasn't very long. But I am super proud I finished mid-month. I should probably start on February's selection so that it's actually done by March. HAHAHA!
