Weekend Recap

First off.. the hubs and I have decided that this year (or at least until I graduate) we are going to try and follow a much stricter/sensible budget. Our first step was cancelling our cable. It's freaking expensive and when classes are in session... I don't get to watch much anyway. The only thing hubs really watches is ESPN and he can pretty much get all of that on the internet. Well, this was our first weekend without cable. The first night (guess it was actually Thursday, so not quite the weekend... but I'll include it) we started to go a little stir crazy and I think it was kind of a "you want what you can't have" type thing. Had we had cable that night, we probably wouldn't have watched it. Anywho... we busted out the Friends DVDs and SkipBo and had a great evening together. I think not having cable is going to enable us to have some real quality time... and it will make us branch out and find other things to do. We went ahead and got Netflix so we can have stuff to watch when we really are in the mood to just sit on our butts and watch something.... and it's only $8.99 a month in comparison to the $80 something we were paying for cable.

Ok... moving on to Friday. We had friends over to play some Rock Band and have some drinks. We had a great time. If you haven't ever played it... you should! It's SO.MUCH.FUN!!!!

Here's us playing Rock Band. That's me in the pink... go figure. :o)

I had patients Saturday morning so I spent the morning at the clinic. Hubs and I cleaned and hung out at the house all afternoon. We went over to a friend's house for a birthday party that night. It was a great time. I smoked a Hooka for the first time. I'm not a smoker, but the whole ambiance was fun and the birthday girl convinced me to give it a whirl. It was alright... and nothing like a cigarette thank goodness. They put cherry/vanilla flavored tobacco in it. All in all, I don't know that I'll do it again... but hey, I'll try most anything once!

This is me and some of my girls on Saturday night. Somehow we didn't get a picture of the Hooka extravaganza.... bummer. That's me in the hat and pink scarf... again... go figure! :o)

Sunday was a LAZY day for most of the day. Once we finally got up and around we made our way out of the house to get our grocery shopping done. We went to Costco and WalMart .... two of THE MOST DISASTROUS PLACES ON EARTH on a Sunday afternoon.... OH. MY. GOSH. I wanted to run people over with my cart. There was a major case of Sunday drivers... but with their carts!!! However, amazingly enough, we barely had to wait in line to check out at WalMart... so I guess I can't complain too much.

So that was our weekend... nothing too exciting! I think I'll do a random pics post here in a minute because we had a TON of random stuff on our camera that I just uploaded.
