On Sunday I took Buddy for an early morning walk with Angelia, and then we went to breakfast at Guerro's to meet up with Mike's brother Brent. Mike's mom had to go into work for a few hours, so we went back to her house to relax. I took and hour nap (I am appreciating afternoon naps more and more lately!) and read my book, and watched some of "Six Feet Under" with Mike. Then we went to the Alamo Drafthouse (a movie theater in Austin that serves meals during the movie) and saw Disney's "Up" in 3D- that movie was great! Then we went to bed early again (are you seeing a pattern here? I like to sleep).
Monday Mike and I went to breakfast at Cafe Java, and then out to find Barnes and Noble- there were a few books that Mike wanted to look for in particular, and we have their membership discount. We entertained ourselves by getting lost for a little while, then after we finally found it we spent some time shopping around there. There was a nice salon in the same shopping center, and having mentioned before that I was hoping that someone professional would fix my hair for me so I didn't have to dye it more than necessary over the next nine months, Mike gave me the okay to get it done while he waited for me. Two hours later (sorry Mike!) my hair is a beautiful chestnut color. She had to strip it and then color it, and she deep conditioned it for me too. I had gotten the okay from my doctor to dye my hair already, but I told her because it's a lot of chemicals, I wanted it to be done in a way that would need little touch ups over the next few months.
After the salon, we grabbed a quick bite and then went and saw "Year One," which was pretty funny, but you have to already appreciate Jack Black style humor to have enjoyed it. After the movie, we went back to Angie's and read for a while, then went to dinner at P.F. Chang's. I couldn't remember the last time I had good chinese food : D
On Tuesday the plan was to take off around noon to head home. It was our actual anniversary day, so neither of us were looking forward to spending it in the car in 103 degree weather with Buddy. But we packed up and got Schlotsky's for lunch and met up with Angie at her office before we were leaving. After talking about how hot and uncomfortable it was outside, we decided to hang out for the day- Mike said he would be fine driving late at night and I could sleep in the car. After taking a few moments to watch the wild deer we saw at Angie's office, we went back to the house to read and relax and enjoy the day! We hung out at the pool for a bit, but there were too many teenagers there to our liking, so we ended up going back and reading some more. I think Mike went through 2 books while we were in Austin! Then we went to dinner at a mexican restaurant called Abuela's- it was delicious!! And we went over to the mall so Angie could pick up some knives that were on sale- she works at Williams- Sonoma on the weekends, so she gets an incredible discount! Also she gets a discount at Pottery Barn, so we went and looked at Baby Pottery Barn and thought about what we can get the baby for 40% off : D
We ended up leaving Austin about 9 PM. I slept most of the way home, waking up every time Mike stopped of course, and we got home about 4 AM. I went straight to bed, but Mike was too wound up on energy drinks to go to bed. He ended up going to bed about 7 AM- the same time I was waking up. Poor guy- I hope he gets some sleep today while I am at work.
So that was our weekend. I enjoyed the lack of planning, and abundance of relaxation. It was pure peace and quiet : D
