Rain Rain, Go Away...

Alas, the long weekend has come to an end and the day could not be uglier. There is so much rain that is is coming down in sheets and the roads are flooded. It is also only 60 degrees. Where is the nice summer weather? Sheesh!

Recap of the weekend: Friday I did absolutely nothing. We were allowed to leave work at 3:30 which was amazing because I was a grump gus and had a bad attitude for no reason at all. I was just so exhausted from the week and the fact that us girls went out the night before. Kev picked me up and we tried to go to Target so i could pick up a few things for work but the traffic was horrendous so we turned around and went home. I cooked us an amazing dinner of lemon pepper chicken, salad, angel hair pasta, and carrots (yummy!), went for a 3 mile run, and then we ventured back to target where I spent way too much money! That night, I just lounged around and read my book while kevin went to see Terminator with his friend (I bailed due to exhaustion)!

On Saturday, I went for a 25 minute run in the morning and then made breakfast for me and kev, which consisted of eggs and turkey bacon. Saturday night was a lot of fun because we got all dressed up and went to a wedding of a girl Kevin grew up with. It was the Nelson/Delinsky wedding and was held in Georgetown at the Halcyon House, which is BEAUTIFUL! To give you a sense of the property, it is currently on the market listed at $32 million!!!! wow! The wedding was so much fun and the bride, Julie, was stunning. Her dress was the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen (and I watch a lot of "Who's Wedding is it Anyway", "Platinum Weddings", and "Bridezilla")!

On Sunday, I cleaned the downstairs and Kev went golfing with friends. I went to the eye doctor to get a new prescription of contacts and they charge me $100 even though i have insurance because apparently my insurance doesn't cover exams for contacts since it is a "nice to have not need to have." I thought that was a bunch of crock. Also, insurance doesn't cover my contacts so I opted for the cheaper option of ordering them from 1800contacts and saved $40!!!! My insurance sucks! i don't even know why I am one of the "lucky" ones that is insured when my insurance doesn't ever cover the things I need it to cover. It is so annoying. I did a little shopping and got three pairs of shoes--one pair is hot pink, one is purple, and one is bright red! They are adorable. On Sunday night, we enjoyed great food at a dinner party at Kevin's parents' house. After our bellies were full, we went home to relax until it was time to go to our midnight concert. Kevin and I got sucked into watching a special on BBC America about Brothers and Sisters who are in love and in relationships with each other. It was so very sad and depressing. It was definitely an eye opener and interesting to see another perspective. After the program was over, we rushed downtown to see The National perform at the 9:30 club for the midnight show. Why did we ever think that was a good idea--we were exhausted. We left at 1:15 and they were still playing. I was falling asleep standing up--believe it or not! I tried my best to rally and I put on a good face to try and fool Kevin but in the end, he just wanted to get us home to get some rest.

Then yesterday was really relaxing. It rained cats and dogs so we stayed inside and sat around in our underwear (my favorite thing in the whole wide world). Kevin worked all day while I watched documentaries of murders and crimes right next to him. We then got ready and met our friends at Steamers to eat crabs in Maryland. SO FUN! While everyone was busy cracking over these big ol crabs, my friend Amanda and I were enjoying Snow Crab Legs. Man o Man, it is a lot of work to get to the edible part. After dinner, Kevin and I returned home to chill some more. I Tivoed the Bachelorette ( I had no idea it was even on for the new series), took a shower, and then went to bed to finish up Blindness. The book isn't finished yet, but I only have 12 pages left so it will be done tonight! Look for the review to be posted in the next day or so...
