Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond... I Don't Know If We'll Have Enough Time

Like I mentioned yesterday my girl had today off to start her 4-day weekend. Normally this wouldn't really effect me since I would stay home while she... whatever it is she does. Today she decided to go for the double whammy; waking me up abruptly, to ask me if I wanted to go with her.

CHEEEEAAAPP. I am calling foul. I hate being woken up-I am not a morning person on my own terms, I certainly don't need you rushing the process. Then in my obviously weakend state she gets me to agree to some all day tour of things that make me want to gouge my own eyes out.

After getting Spike ready, checking some work on the computer, and managing to piece myself together. We were on our way to drop the boy at school. My girl can't talk with the radio on. Listening intently to Colin Cowherd loses a lot of punch when I miss 30 second chunks every 2 minutes. I don't mind though, I couldn't have gotten through my day without knowing what each one of her employees had to say about the... (I'd love to tell you what happened there but I just couldn't keep listening)

With some breakfast inside of us, we went shopping for the finishing touches on our nearly repainted kitchen. After settling on the 10th valance(look it up) that I held up- which looked exactly the same as the rest -we moved on to pictures. 3 hours worth of pictures later, I plead for a release from shopping hell.

In an effort to appease me, we headed to the theater. My movie being pretty open, having only walked out of one movie in my life I let my girl call the movie. We ended up seeing Jumper, A movie I had some previous interest in. Ten minutes into the movie I tried to focus my way into the next theater over where "There will be blood" showing. Jumper ended up picking up, though not nearly as much as it should have for the premise.

After the movie we headed out to gather up Spike from his school. Another good day for him makes two straight weeks with good marks. Proud as I am, I am equally surprised. He has not been all that well behaved at home so the fact he is maintaing at school makes me happy.

Before heading over to her parents, my girl dropped me at the house so I could get some writing done. Loving my girl and Spike doesn't change the fact that I really enjoy my time at home, alone, writing.
