Man… it was hard to get out bed this morning. I got up and grabbed my phone to call in, but then remember my boss is going to be here (from MN) today. Ugh. I’m worn out. I don’t want to do this anymore and I need a break.
Last night Paco and I went shopping. He was looking to buy himself a birthday present, some Puma shoes. We wandered all over the mall looking at things, but he didn’t find anything he liked. After we left the mall, I asked him where he wanted to go to dinner and he said that all the places he likes, I don’t like. So I told him that since it was his birthday, it didn’t matter, just to pick some place. Just my luck, he picked Red Lobster.
I have never been to Red Lobster before, but I was pretty sure they would have at least one NON-FISH dish that I could order. They actually have a couple, but not much too interesting. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and the restaurant wasn’t as trashy as I had assumed. My meal was ok, nothing to get excited about, and definitely not worth what I paid for it, but it was ok. He was happy, so that is what mattered most.
After dinner we went to his mom’s for a bit, then to Amy’s ice cream. He had only had Amy’s once before, at Baby A’s, and he loved it, so I wanted him to actually have ice cream at the store. He loved it and we had a nice walk around the arboretum while we ate our ice cream. Well, it was more nice for him because he didn’t get eaten up by mosquitoes, like I did. It’s such a burden being so delicious.
After that, we did some shopping at Target and then went home. I didn’t get to sleep until 11:30. I’m exhausted. I need a vacation.
