Elise and I had a nice relaxing weekend at my parents house.
Friday night, her and I sat on the driveway until almost 3 a.m. We just sat there and talked about everything and nothing. That was pretty nice. It’s nice to have a wife who’s your best friend.
Saturday we got up, ate breakfast and El mowed the lawn. I volunteered her to do it (she said she wanted to… I wasn’t going to argue). I unloaded all the stuff that we hauled down to store in my parent’s barn. Then I cleaned the inside of El’s truck.
It got really hot outside, so we all rested inside for most of the day. In the late afternoon, Dad and I fried some catfish and hushpuppies on the back patio, then, well… we ate catfish and hushpuppies. El and I stayed up late again and tried to watch Dr. Hollywood but fell asleep.
Sunday we got up and we washed El’s truck. I went inside and checked the final sales price of my original NES Gameboy that I had put up on eBay. I only got $31 for it. That bummed me. I “sold” it a few weeks back for $52, but the winning bidder decided that he didn’t want to pay for it. After following eBay’s policy on reporting a non-paying bidder, I went to leave negative feedback on the bum only to find out that he had cancelled his account. Megamanmegaman, watch out punk…. you owe me $21. Now I have to go through all of this crap with eBay to get credit for the items Final Value Fee. Some people… sheesh.
Anyway – we vegged out the rest of Sunday. I slept on the couch for a couple hours, read the paper, watch a little TV. El and I played a couple games of Horse and 10 point one-on-one. Wish I had some video of that… Elise and I looked like a couple three legged cats trying to bury turds on a frozen pond.
We stayed at my parent’s place until around 8, then left for Temple. The drive back here (I’m not willingly going to refer to it as home) was really depressing. I guess I miss being out in the country, having no cares in the world.
So, the mad world greeted me at 6:45 this morning – again. Elise went to a temp agency this afternoon. I think she’s getting a little stir crazy being cooped up in the apartment all day. And I think there’s only so many episodes of “A Wedding Story”, “A Baby Story”, and HGTV that my wife can watch.
We talked to Steve (El’s dad) last night too… he and I wished that the day would hurry up and come when we can all look back on these days and laugh. Hurry up day.
