Good Times.

It's that time of the week again when I tell you all about my weekend.

Friday night was pretty mellow. I got off work early and my mom and I went to Costco. What. A. Nightmare. There was children running all over the damn place, and my mom, of course, wanted to wander up and down every god forsaken aisle to show me Christmas gift ideas. Anyways, after that, we came home where Chad and I had frozen burritos for dinner (BAD IDEA) and then we went over to our friend Dustin's house to hang out. We played some Skip-Bo with Dustin and his mom, and ended up not getting home until after midnight (which is a late night for us, haha).

Saturday morning, I did some cleaning around the house and re-organized some cupboards. I did a little gift wrapping and caught up on some DVR recordings. Then Chad and I headed out to Renton to do some Christmas shopping. Chad dragged me around Dick's Sporting Goods for about an hour and we only walked out of there with 4 different things. I had to remind him that we weren't shopping for HIM, we were shopping for gifts for other people. After we finished up there, Chad took me to one of my all time favorite restaurants, Chang's Mongolian Grill. Seriously, I was so SO excited. I love that place, and the only time we go is on my birthday, it's that much of a special restaurant for me, haha. As we are getting out of the car, this is what was said:

ME: This is just the best surprise! Thanks for taking me on a date babe!!!

Chad: It's pretty sad that you think this is a date.

ME:  Gee... whose fault might that be??

Anyways, we stuffed our faces like this...

... and headed back to Fall City.

We went back over to Dustin's house and I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that my friend Hayley was there! Her and Dustin have been dating for, like, 10 years or something. It works out nicely because Hayley and I have been really good friends since we met in high school, and Chad and Dustin have been best friends since elementary school. Chad and Dustin are practically joined at the hip, but Hayley and I barely get to see each other anymore because of our work schedules and she is going to school. So it was nice to FINALLY get to spend some time with her.

Anyways, the boys looked at coyote hunting videos on YouTube for a while and Hayley and I played with their little boy Mason.

(Note: These pictures are from a different night... not that it probably matters to you)

Once Mason went to bed (after watching his current favorite movie The Lion King), the 4 of us played more Skip Bo. Then, Chad and I came home to hit the hay.

That is pretty much the excitement of my weekend. Today I slept in becuase I didn't sleep all that well last night. So now I am feeling a little rushed to get soem cookies baked for a Christmas party tonight and get my laundry and all my other chores done before I go to bell choir rehearsal.

I hope everybody has had a good weekend, I know I did.
