I love my Joe weekends just as much as I love my Joeless weekends.
I left work kind of early on Friday, but I didn’t really feel bad about it. I didn’t exactly ask permission, but my last conversation w/ Bossman ended with “Have a good weekend.” Having stayed til 6pm the night before, 5:45 the 2 nights before that, and having 2 hrs of OT under my belt, I didn’t feel bad about leaving 45 minutes early. I DID feel bad about leaving Joe at the airport for what amounted to about 2 and a half hours, thanks to my not being able to get off (got notice about him actually being here this weekend on Wed. night) in time to get him and traffic.
He’s not very cooperative when it comes to the camera being in his face. This is the best one I took this weekend. Aww. 
We came home and crashed for a couple of hours, and decided about 10pm that we wanted to eat, so off we went. My only idea as to where to go for dinner was “fooooooooood. I want foooooooooooood. F-O-O-D. FOOD!!” So we went in the direction of Stonebriar Mall. It’s not too far away, but it wasn’t Chili’s, which is what I had for lunch when Teresa and I went that afternoon, and it wasn’t Friday’s which seems to be what we eat when we’ve already had Chili’s. We ended up getting there, and I turned down a street that was kinda dark and scary because I was in a turn lane and decided to go because it looked like it came out at civilization. It didn’t… it was like, a car dealership or something, so we turned around and went back to the main road. Right across the street was Applebee’s, so I made the executive decision to go there.
We had a nice dinner, even though it seemed like they were kinda trying to rush us. We ordered an appetizer, and about 2.45638 minutes after they brought the appetizer out, we had our meal. The hell? You can’t get food that fast when you want it.. lol.
So we ate, then we came home STUFFED. We came home, and I think we pretty much crashed after that. lol. I woke up about 7 or 8, and he slept most of the day. About 1:30 or so I went in to see if he was awake, and he woke up, but then I fell asleep. I woke up at 3 or so, and he asked if I wanted to go swimming. I did, but it was too effing hot out yesterday, and I knew even in the pool it would be suffocating, so we opted to get lunch and go to a movie.
He gave me more to go on for lunch (fast food) than he did for dinner the night before, so we went to Jack in the Crack because it was near the theater. We decided on the way TO the theater that rather than scarf lunch down, we’d go to the 5pm instead of 4pm showing of You, Me, and Dupree. So, after lunch I went to get gas, and then we went back to the movies. The movie was pretty funny. Not as bad as some of the reviews I’d read said, but not as good as I was hoping it would, or that it could, be. Still pretty funny and sweet.
After the movie, we came back home. We changed into bathing suits and went swimming. We talked about wedding stuff and future stuff, and I think we’ve finally made some sort of decision. I think. heh. Gah. Anyway, yeah, so then we got out of the pool and walked back to the apartment. We watched Matchpoint and decided again, at 10pm, that we were hungry, so we ordered pizza. We really need to eat better and have a better schedule on the weekends when he’s here. ahah Oh well.
It was nice, we ended up going to bed about midnight, and woke up at about 5:45 this morning so we could get some breakfast and head to the airport. I dropped him off about 7:30am or so, and I came back home. His flight was a little delayed, which worked in his favor, because the checkpoint lines were pretty long, and he ended up getting stopped for a luggage check. He would’ve made it anyway, but I would’ve been nervous. I knitted and watched dvds, and he finally got back to CA. I ended up crashing and burning this afternoon, and he’s been sleeping since I don’t know when. I called him, like promised, at 7:30 this evening, but he fell back to sleep a minute later. I tried calling him again at 8, and he did the same thing, so I’m just going to let him sleep.
I hope I’m not up all night tonight. *lol* I’m going to catch up on podcasts and knit some more.
Have a good night.
