“Well now that we’re having babies we get all graphic”

—my neighbor, LOL!

What a SPECTACULAR weekend spent with THE BEST (Jeff)!!! A quick(?) recap:

FRIDAY I had to be in early for the numbers. The weather had turned into SPRING and that made me glowing with happiness…yes!!! The day flew by as I made adjustments to the iPad app, which we had just successfully submitted…double yes!

Then home for a walk to get ice cream, EXCELLENT choice, from Pumphouse. I got into a conversation with my neighbor which was great. Her 11-year-old is also babysitting obsessed (as I was at that age)…super.

Off to run a few errands, mostly successful, and complete the grocery shopping. Phew! And then I was exhausted. All this extra weight man, it makes life harder. Ha. My legs were killing me.

Jeff came home and I whipped up an egg salad for us. We watched Awkward then I passed out and he worked into the night on his cool layout…almost done!

SATURDAY I got up to the glorious sun and went off to yoga…oh yeah! Great class, my back pain is somewhat subsiding (again w/ the extra weight, hah). Got some gifts for my friend who recently had TWIN GIRLS, yay, then home where I did some cleanup and showering. Wrote thank you notes outside. Jeff was working. He mentioned he had bought Twins tickets for his Dad. I was jealous so I said “I want to go to a game!” and Jeff said “when?” and I said “today!” And so we did. We bought tickets online and Jeff said to “get the good ones.” AND so we did. A few rows back from first base baby! Yeah!!!

Off to the game after Jeff hit the gym. Parked in a super sketchy abandoned lot(?!) and walked to the stadium. Already I knew my Birkenstock clogs were a poor choice…alas. It is SPRING, folks! Got to the game and took our AWESOME seats. GREAT game! Twins were killing it! PERFECT weather, so nice just to relax. We got some snacks. “And for you?” the vendor asked. Ha ha! Enjoyed them and snuck looks at the silly baby next to us (and judged the drunk idiots in front of us) and enjoyed the game. Baseball, so relaxing when the weather is good!

Game wrapped up (Twins win! “they have a 1% chance of not winning…ok 10%…ok .1%…”) and we went to the pro shop where we acquired a t-shirt for our daughter to wear at 12 months of age, perfect timing. We spent a ridiculous amount of money on a tiny t-shirt that she will wear like 3 times, but refused to spend that money on ourselves for anything that might actually last. Logic does not exist! But we just want more sports apparel for her. Esp. Gophers!

We walked around downtown for awhile, testing my limits. Off to the Loop! Great choice. Server was terrible but Jeff just could not help himself with the tip. Awwww. Good salads and fries and the Wild won too. Cool, good job Wild! So nice to hang out downtown, like old times. WOOHOO. Walked back to the car which turned into an epic journey, one of us is not cut out for that distance of walking with her clogs on anymore. Gah. AND it looked like The Wire…oooh boy. BUT whatever. So then we got some Blizzards (Jeff’s idea!) and watched Shark Tank. YES!!!

It was a day of a Long Extended Awesome Impromptu Date!!! LOVED IT. 🙂 🙂 🙂

SUNDAY got up and dinked around. Cleaned, laundry, thank you notes, etc. Jeff slept in for a long time! Good job Jeff. He split to get an $8 haircut and eventually I split to get in a swim. SOOOOOOO nice out! I got HOT walking to swimming even. It felt good to get in the pool and be weightless, ha. Slow swimming in the slow lane and then back out into the sun. It felt extremely calming to get out of the water. I am already looking forward to a swim-date w/ Diana on Wednesday! oooooh.

I decided I MUST HAVE a rootbeer after having had one at the game. ROOT BEER. Every place I checked had Barq’s…gross…so I tweeted about it. A-K and Diana responded with ideas. Off to Kowalski’s it was! The ROOT BEER must not be ignored! Acquired the ONLY brand they had left(?!) and got home to guzzle that + share it too 🙂 + make egg salad again. Sat outside and enjoyed my late late lunch. Then it started to rain. In the house for massive cookingfest and finishing up laundry. Jeff rearranged the pics on the walls…good work! Whew! Lots going on! But super productive, esp. while listening to Pitbull (note: NOT Jeff).

Had some awesome spaghetti (with Lidia in Italy’s sauce) and meatballs and salads. Caught up on Breaking Bad then watched Mad Men. Much better episode. SO yeah. Then to bed where I fell asleep quickly and happily after the most amazing weekend! So lucky to spend it with Jeff. Baby kicked like crazy in the night, it’s like she’s trying to escape (MEMO: NOT YET).

ALSO of note, this weekend I only got up to eat at night once or twice. AMAZING!

Happy almost-May, ya’ll!
