I wish my weekends were this virtuous

Mini Me was with various friends of STBX this weekend.

Friday: Girls Night Out! One of the husbands chauffeured us around so we could drink as much as we wanted, but we’re all middle aged so I’m not even sure this was really necessary as none of us got plastered. A nice gesture though, and a great time with the gals.

Saturday: Grocery shopping. Helped BF with a project on his camper… got it 80% finished before it got too dark to continue.

Sunday: Church, completion of camper project, Netflix and chill.

Upcoming plans: 1500 miles of driving to see one bonus kid’s theater production, which will include getting the other bonus twin from their school to watch … then back to their school, then back home.

Sunday is going to be at least 12 hours in a vehicle, after including likely stops, not including any stoppages on the interstate.

My weekends have been really boring lately.

Been raining here in the UK…like constantly.

Went to a black tie work function (we do this post-year end) and thats about it.

Not very interesting unfortunately.

This past weekend?
See if I can remember…
Comedy Show on FRI
Haircut, beer place, then wine place on SAT
Had son and his gf over for fish tacos and Mexican Train, watched a bit of The King (hockey) game on the outdoor TV with the patio heaters on.
In the past ten days, I’ve drank something with alcohol on nine of them. Probably take a break tonight.

Eh, I’d take Olive Garden over most of the similarly-priced chains. (Fridays, Applebees, Outback, Cheddars, LongHorn, etc.)

It’s not gourmet; it’s not a high-end chain, but it’s not bad.

Olive Garden or Red Lobster… the latter for the cheddar bay biscuits, of course. (Never get lobster at Red Lobster.)

Maybe hip_tiger got paid, and it was time to spoil his baby with an upgrade.

Past weekend: down to Illinois for a few days to help one bonus kid with a couple things and plot out strategies for stuff, and to see a grade school concert for one of my best friend’s daughters.

Now back home safely, unloaded, and

taking my time to poop.
