Relaxing Saturday

What a difference 24 hours makes. I am doing much better and feeling a whole lot better and best of all I have not smoked. So, technically I have gone 8 days without smoking. Soon the days will turn into weeks and the weeks into months. Laura and I have enjoyed a "lazy" Saturday. We got up and went and got some breakfast and then went to a spot close to us that is right on a small river. I thought it was going to be very peaceful, instead the place smelled like someone had been using it for a bathroom. It was a place that my Mom used to take us when I was small and it seemed so "pure" back then. Now it just seemed dirty and used. What a shame.

After breakfast we did our weekly grocery shopping. We made a list and were determined to stick to it. We do our grocery shopping at the local Wal-Mart SuperCenter. Since it's a SuperCenter we always seem to get into trouble by the time we leave. We usually walk out with picture frames we never use, a CD that that we find we only like one song on and other "useless" stuff that just gets forgotten about. But I swear when we are there it seems we have to have it. Well, today we got out UNDER our budget. That was a nice change.

One of our neighbors is moving and the realtor had an open house today. I was curious what the house looked like and how much they were selling the house for. So I walked up there with my story in hand as to why I was looking at the house. The realtor was one of the strangest persons I have ever met. I would be nervous if she was selling my house. Just didn't seem to "with it" if you know what I mean. The house wasn't that impressive and once again made me happy that Laura and I have decided that we will stay here for a few more years. Don't want to have to deal with the stress of selling our house, looking for another one, etc.

Once home we just cleaned up a little and hung out. It was very relaxing. Next Friday we are heading to the lake for a little mini vacation. Laura's b-day is next Wednesday, so this lake trip is part of her whole b-day celebration. Now it's almost 7pm and we are in for the night. I remember when we first got together and we would stay out til the wee hours of the night. Now we prefer to be home by 8pm and in bed no later then 10pm. Whether the rigid Republicans want to believe it or not, but we are like every married couple. :)

Nah, you're what most married couples WISH they could be like. In their dreams!!!

I'm impressed at coming in under budget, must be not buying that carton o smokes, eh?

LOL about wanting to be home early and in bed early. We went for dessert on the way home tonight, just to a little cafe in our town. It was about 8:30, and there's no one there but a few high school or college age kids. The sidewalks basically roll up here around 8, and we love it. The time we go to bed now is the time I went out in my younger days. Now I prefer to get up early and listen to the birds sing. Yup, a real threat to the Republicans, huh? LOL
