Weekend Recap
How was everyone's weekend?
Mine was nice and relaxing. Friday night DH went to a friend's house for the night (drinking with the boys). So I watched the new Karate Kid movie and went to bed early with the screaming headache I got at work.
Saturday DH did the leaves and I did laundry and dishes. Then we went to Mohegan Sun (one of the 2 casinos here) with SIL and her fiance. Traffice getting there was crazy because of Dane Cook performing that night. The guys lost and the girls one. SIL won $200 on craps and I won $125 on penny slot machines. Always makes for a good night.
Yesterday we were lazy and sat around watching the L&O:SVU marathon all day. I did a couple things around the house though.

Re: Weekend Recap
This weekend for us shall be named the weekend we bled money like mad.
Friday I got at on of stuff on sale for thanksgiving, then new wipers for my car, then $300 at costco for regular stuff plus some more thanksgiving stuff.
Saturday I had yoga and a massage, but the massage was 1/2 price due to a promo. Then we headed to the mall, DH got a new golf bag with a gc, but we covered the difference (no biggie), but I got stuff at bath and body and old navy. Then we stopped by BBB to get linens for thanksgiving a roaster they had for $10. Dinner out with friends was $125 for just DH and I.
Yesterday we had to go to HD b/c Sadie chewed the trim and of course the bathroom trim we're ripping out is like an inch too short to replace the one she chewed. Then I was an idiot and washed the brand new tablecloths together not thinking b/c it was right before we gave Sadie a bath and so my new table cloths are now maroon and pink instead of maroon and white. Thankfully they were only $10 and I had a coupon.
And that didn't include the new duvet and comforter we bought last week with some of DH's bonus money.
Yeah my wallet is smoking today. When it rains it pours, but we won't have a weekend like that again for months.
Wives Unscripted
Friday - My sister was in the play at her school, so Drew and I went on opening night. She thanked me in the program and it made me cry. I'm such a sap! The play was good. I think that the kids always do a great job putting on productions at that school.
Saturday - I ran a few errands and made Stacey's Creamy Potato Soup for dinner. It's a big hit at our house!
Sunday - I woke up at 5 AM in pain from the endo. Not a fun day!

Friday- Dinner out with Ben to celebrate his bonus
Saturday- Friends baby shower, then dinner out to celebrate his promotion, with said friend from baby shower. Our favorite restaurant was closing so well all wanted to go. (She was worried that she would be the third wheel and I assured her that Ben would be the third wheel. I was right. We talked the whole time and Ben was oblivious)
Sunday- Went and had breakfast with Ben's sister, brother in law and niece, came home and took an awesome nap, then did a bunch of stuff around the house to get ready for the week. Then we finally got to go see "Inception" at the dollar theatre.
In general, for two people who have not been going out to eat because we have had no money, it felt weird to go out 3 times this weekend.
