Friday, Friday, Friday!

Friday was totally low key, it was AMAZING! I did a little bit of work and then watched HGTV and a very cool show on the History Channel about acids! Jeremy and Marc went to Lenny's sub shop for lunch and brought me back an Italian which was sooooooooo good! I miss Lenny's a lot... definitely going to take advantage of the one up by Emmy's more often!

Friday night, we went to a new restaurant in Hernando called Buon Cibo-- it was Panera/Atlanta Bread Company kind of food for the same kind of price, and it was surprisingly good. Marc had a Cuban sandwich (that he said was nearly as good as the ones he used to get in Miami) and a cup of roasted red pepper soup (which was delicious, and much less of a bisque than we expected!), Jan had a Chef's Salad, Jeremy got a ginormous meatloaf sandwich with house chips (also delicious!), and I had an apple/walnut/bleu cheese salad and a cup of coconut chicken soup. My salad was good, but I would have preferred for the apples and walnuts to be chopped so I was able to mix the flavors a little more, but it was sopping with dressing which is just the way I like it! Jan loved her salad because of the addition of pickled onions which were very well done! The whole thing was apparently started by a chef who used to run a restaurant in Memphis, and it's a nice little startup, so I hope it lasts. There aren't a lot of healthy, affordable options in the area and this is a decent alternative to Sonic!

To end the night, we decided to watch the original Tron which we got Jan for mother's day! It was a lot of fun since the Clarks hadn't seen it in ages and I'd never seen it! It was an interesting story line, and how awesome to see young Jeff Daniels-- The Dude was a suave looking youngster! I also got interested in the timeline from the original Tron and Tron: Legacy.

Labor Day Weekend!

First three day weekend (and probably the last) of the school year! It's about the only three day weekend we get off work since the rest of the school holidays aren't ones parents necissarily get off, so we have to work full days on those.

Friday we went and hung out with Emmy, went to Taco Mac and got some yummy wings (even though our overall service was decent, the cooking was questionable) and then went back to her place and watched "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" which was really cute. I don't know who played the drunk chick, but she was SO good! We dropped by the K's on our way home and hung out for a short while there, then headed home to get some sleep.

Saturday we got up early to go to race number pickup for Jeremy and Michael out at the Galleria. There was a whole little carnival type thing set up for the kids that was a lot of fun. Jeremy talked Julian in to the big slide, and I taught him how to shoot a wrist shot at the Thrashers tent! We finally headed out when Julian started getting grumpy and tired and Jeremy and I stayed and watched Violet while Michael took Jules to Dragon*Con-- since she crashed out pretty quickly, we watched "Iron Man" (IMO, the best superhero movie yet) and chilled on the couch. Then we just kind of hung around, watched some "30 Rock" and drank some wine!

Sunday we were going to go to OBC for services, but mom had swine flu (maybe, really, possibly actually did?) so we decided it was best if we stayed in-- there are so many old people AND little kids with all the adoptions there, no sense in us getting them sick (since we thought maybe we'd been exposed to it, or at least what the K's had last week) so instead we looked around the weak Labor Day sales. Jeremy did find some AMAZING deals on tools-- if he hadn't gotten the discounts he did, it would have cost him almost twice as much!! Now I can let him buy me a real engagement ring ;) since he's bought what he needs for work. I shopped around, got some more stuff at Target and Michael's for crafting and the wedding, a couple of tank tops at New York and Company.

Monday was Jeremy's 10k which he ran with Michael in under an hour (which was just for fun for Jeremy, but a new record for Michael!) and ended at White Water! We went in and I actually got to ride some of the rides this time, and had a lot of fun. Can't wait to go next summer!!

Well, my elbow is kind of hurting, so I'll just leave you with some pictures from this weekend. Ciao for now!

Julian-- not so much with the wrist shot

I don't knooooow about this, Jeremy!
