weekend

We had glorious weather this weekend. It was wonderful. We were pretty busy doing fun things all weekend, that really just included Chris and I. It had been a while since we spent a whole weekend together that didn’t involve long car rides. Friday night we rented a movie and relaxed. I went to bed early and got 10 hours of sleep that night. I guess I needed it b/c I felt great Saturday morning. Saturday we went out for a walk and then I made waffles for breakfast. I’m totally hooked on home made waffles now, they are amazing with some fresh fruit on top. Then we ran about a million errands, including picking up Jamaican Sun from the Art Guild. It’s been a while since it’s been home, and it’s nice to have it back. We also stopped and bought a new router, and Sunday I hooked it up with the help of the Dude. I had an urge to bake some cookies so we also stopped at the store and picked up some chocolate and peanut butter mixed chips and I made cookies. mmmmmmmmm, I ate a lot of dough. and then I took a nap! What a great day. That night our friends stopped by and we went to BWWs to watch the Bears play another preseason game.
Sunday started off lazy too, but we decided it was so nice out to go for a jog. yes, a jog. I hate jogging, I hate anything to do with running. I don’t know what possessed me but I jogged. =0) We came home and relaxed a bit. He played Madden, and I worked on some flowers. Then we headed downtown to the Irish Festival that was going on. What a perfect day for a festival. Lots of Irish music coming from several tents. There were several areas where people were selling Irish themed shirts and jewelry, or you could get your coat of arms printed on a shirt. Several beer tents were around and lots of greasy fair food. They were also having the annual duck race on the Illinois River this weekend. You could buy a duck and proceeds went to preventing abuse, and Sunday afternoon they raced the ducks on the river. The first 26 ducks across the finish line won different prizes. We watched the end of the race when a large group of ducks made a break for it and floated very quickly down river. Some kids were cheering on the ducks as they evaded the nets to catch them. I’m pretty sure they’re are some ducks down in New Orleans right about now.
This morning the electrician came and fixed our outlet. He completely replaced it and said that it was wired wrong. Kinda scary. He also replaced the breaker to our dryer. So our dryer is working now too. Things seemed to be going right until my car’s breaks were rattling this morning. and last night the shelf and pole in our closet that holds all our clothes crashed to the floor. I guess next weekend we’re going to have to get out our tool belts and do some work.
