I have gotten fairly lax about blogging on the weekends; we just have too much going on 🙂 Sorry!
Let’s see, Friday was a busy day for me. I had a bunch of errands to run, then a big grocery shopping trip. Tim took me out for my belated birthday dinner to the restaurant of my choice – a local Italian place that always has excellent food. We both splurged and picked some delicious entrees. Tim had the special of the day, the chicken and artichoke lasagna and I had the seafood lasagna. Complete with a big salad, fresh loaves of bread with garlic herb butter, then we finished the meal with dessert. I don’t usually splurge on dessert, but I always do on my birthday, preferably tiramisu at an Italian place. This restaurant’s tiramisu is delicious. After dinner, we went to Academy and each got some new walking shoes. We’re hoping to walk more once Beau, the wonder dog, gets off his restrictions on activity that the vet placed him on for 2-3 weeks. Then, we came home and watched 2 of our favorite shows – Battlestar Galactica and Numb3rs. Both good episodes!
Saturday was equally busy. We got up and took Beau for a short walk and took him to the lake in our subdivision for the first time. He nearly choked himself on the leash, trying to go after all of the ducks and geese. I should have taken my camera! We took him over to the little island in the middle of the lake and let him run free, and he had a blast. He tried to dive off in the water after the ducks, but Tim called him back. He loved every minute of it 🙂 Tim helped me plant some pansies after that. I’m about 75% through with flowers… I have a few more pansies to get and plant, and I need to do that soon. I always like to have them planted by Halloween.
Tim left after lunch Saturday afternoon to go play golf with Don, and Gail and I did our regular shopping thing while the guys played. We hit Kohl’s, Hobby Lobby and Target. I bought Beau a couple of things, which I will blog about soon. 🙂
We had dinner out again on Saturday night with Don and Gail before they had to leave to drive back. We all went to Logan’s and it was as good as always. Tim, Don and Gail all had steaks and I was trying really hard to be good and got the grilled salmon. I feel like between all of the eating out and all of the candy that Tim bought me for my birthday (fudge and truffles!), that I’ve gained 6 or 8 pounds in the last 10 days. Plus, Gail brought us a bag of this candy corn mix and it’s ohmygosh good 😀 So, between all the sweets, I’m really dreading my doctor’s visit this week. I hate going period, but now I have to step on the scales and hear about how much weight I’ve gained since I was there last year. Oh woe is me 🙁
Today is a quieter day. I was so grateful for the time change and the extra hour of sleep. We’ve been watching some football today, and unfortunately Tim’s beloved Saints lost. On the bright side, he’s doing well in fantasy football (even though my team is tanking, big time). 🙂 It’s going to be weird to have it get dark so early, but I’m kinda looking forward to it. I am probably one of the only people on the planet that likes it getting dark early 🙂
Hope everyone has had a great weekend 
I’m so glad you like the candycorn bark! I kept a tiny, tiny amount and ate it on the way home and……..ugh, I felt sick last night! I can really only eat a little bit of it at a time.
sorry the Saints lost, but how ’bout ‘dem Bears !
Sounds like a fun weekend! Busy, but fun. Sorry to hear the team lost. I really need to get back into football. I used to love it and keep up with it, but I’ve been slacking because my hubby could care less!
I like it for awhile. I always am so much more motivated to get things done in the Fall and Winter… I actually lik eit getting dark early and cooling off too…I have no idea why. Although, once it gets pretty far into Winter, I start missing actually seeing daylight again. We usually go to work in the dark and get home in the dark in the Winter. Sounds like you had one of our typical weekends..lol Shopping and eating. Glad you had a great birthday dinner 🙂
Don’t like going to the doctor either but figure I can do it once a year! Too bad about the saints…really! BUT the Colts pulled it out!!!! They need to start scoring a bit earlier than they have been the past few weeks or they won’t be able to get past the Bears.
Lots of smiley faces! Here’s to a great bday month . . .
I wouldn’t mind the time change if I didn’t have to work. I don’t like driving home in the dark!
Belated Happy Birthday!
I love Tiramisu too. Come to think of it, I haven’t had Tiramisu for quite a while now. Your post just made me crave for some. 😀

Sounds like a busy, fun weekend.
My girlfriend and I went out to eat on Friday night also, and she also got tiramisu.
Wow, it sounds like a very busy weekend. I have been very lax in updating my blog as well. It has been busy around here, most especially on the weekends.
Beau sure seems to be doing well. I have seen the photos. He is a beautiful dog, and lucky to be in such a loving home!
