Friday night, after polling facebook, we went out on date (Because obviously if your "friends" on facebook say you should go out on a date, you need to go out on a date!)
It was great! The last time Matt and I went on a date was back in March, can you believe it?
I guess I should add that eating out at a fast food place because you [are too lazy] don't have time cook dinner does not qualify as a date for me. So, while we have eaten out a few times since March, none of these dinners have been dates [in my opinion]. We had a wonderful time [which was good because the food was not that great]. We sat outside and spent 4 hours catching up and talking about this and that. It was just perfect!
Saturday we headed down to Dover for some flea market shopping with my cousin Stefanie. Stefanie has been talking about taking us Spence's Flea Market since we moved and we finally got to go. It was really neat. There were several vendors with some really neat antiques, like old Christmas Cards and antique cameras and some others with real junk: old DVDs and very well used shoes (gross!).
We were more interested in the furniture and found some brass lamps that we wanted. The owner offered $35 (for the pair), which was a great deal (IMO), but for whatever reason I felt the need to haggle the price and I offered $20. He was not negotiating in the mood to negotiate and I was not in the mood to cave, so I walked away.
In the end I'm glad we didn't get the lamps because we headed over to Canterbury Used Furniture. Canterbury Used Furniture is an old house filled with gorgeous antiques and a few knickknacks here and there. We picked up an old brass floor lamp for only $10. It will be going in the living room and will work perfectly as a reading light. [picture to follow!].
We ended up getting home rather late and shopping took it out of us, so after unpacking the car we watched The Five Year Engagement, while a storm passed through. If you're looking for a goofy movie I highly recommend The Five Year Engagement, it was lighthearted and cute.
Sunday I set my alarm for 6:15 so I could get up and enjoy the cool weather that the storm brought with it and headed out for a run. It was the first cool run that I've been on since the Spring and my goodness did it feel great and made me feel ready for anything! (don't you love that feeling?)
After running 100 errands, the weekend ended at my work's fall picnic. It was a great time with friends and their families [I am really lucky to work with such a great group of people and be able to call them friends]. I haven't met most of my colleague's spouses or kids, so it was nice to get to meet their families and watch the kids splash around in the pool. I had a great time being a bad influence to all the kids (by teaching them to stick our their tongue and telling them to go grab a cookie so they would be wired right before bed). The whole experience made me grateful that we live where we live and that we work with such great people. In the end, it got me hoping that we get to stay here for a long time, but only time will tell.
We ended up getting home late from the picnic and spent the evening trying getting ready for work, but ending up calling it quits and heading to bed.
Happy Monday!
