our weekend

 

this is what my saturday night looks like when the husband works weekends. 

i ran errands. browsed the mall and found some candles on sale at bath and body works. decided on salted carmel and now my apartment smells like yummy pastries. treated myself to my first pedicure in months. read my book and nearly fell asleep during the massage... ahhhh. went to trader joes and i couldn't resist the pretty flowers. they have amazing deals if you want to check them out. listened to taylor swift's new cd (yes, i am a 15 year old girl) while i tidied up the apartment and unloaded groceries. i stopped at 711 to get quarters for laundry so i had to buy something... double gulp it was. slipped on my new pj's and settled in on the sofa.  

all these little things make saturday nights without my sweetheart a bit easier, but it's still a little lonely. being alone on nights when we normally go out together feels so strange. being with the same person everyday for the last 5 years doesn't make separation an easy task, but next week he goes out of town so i better get used to falling asleep by myself. i am sure gonna miss my cuddle partner. but i'll sleep in the middle of the bed and snuggle with his pillow, at least it smells like him! 

luckily i have really comfy pjs and a fully stocked fridge. and i guess there is always trash television. thank you time warner cable. thank you. 

let's sail away

a while ago tyler and his dad acquired a sail boat. it was free, but it needed a lot of work. luckily a family friend saw the love judd and tyler had for sailing and gifted tyler's dad a newer boat. with the older boat sold, this one made it's way into the family. what a treat. not much work was needed to get it up and running either, which was nice - - - for the boys, i mean i wouldn't have been much help anyway. ;)

while cousin's spencer and ashley were in town with cute little warren we just had to take the boat out. it was a must. the weather was lovely. the company was top notch and the view was just impeccable. what a blessing it is to live in such a gorgeous part of the world. the ocean really is a gift. a beautiful, relaxing and happy day it was. the boys were in heaven.

p.s. how sexy is my sailor of a husband??? love that cutie!

bus ride to the county fair

we went to the county fair with our good friends patrick and mary. there is a great deal that we found out about where you park at the bus station, ride for $3 round trip and get a coupon for $2 entry to the fair. so instead of wasting our gas and paying for parking and a $10 entrance fee we opted for the "oc fair express". now i am not proud of this, but this was my first EVER public bus ride. i have taken the metro in dc & trax in salt lake, but never a city bus. i will admit, it was totally awesome. plus we had a/c, great company & we didn't have to fight traffic or find a parking spot. we got dropped off right at the entrance. it's safe to say that we will never be going to the fair any other way!

we had so much fun. we ate fried food. we drank lemonade. we did hick-ish things like watch a demolition derby & gawk at farm animals. mary and i somehow coordinated our outfits... even our toe polish matched! we saw a hypnotist. we ate funnel cakes & ice cream cones. we walked around the photography exhibit. we people watched. we ate even when we weren't hungry. we saw a creative home exhibit. thanks to patrick and mary for inviting us. we had a blast. we might just have to make this a mulroney/rex family tradition!
