Weekend shanigins

Ah, the adventures of this weekend. The weekend was kicked off with Friday as usual, the only difference about this Friday was that Joey and I proclaimed it "date night". Apparently one of the symptoms of moving in together is a strange illness where two people who were once out going suddenly become plagued with a tendency to stay at home and forego public scenes in favor of curling up on the couch and watching movies. So to remedy this the aforementioned "date night" was agreed upon. We started out the evening by getting gussied up and heading out to a wonderful Sushi dinner. There was much Sake and rejoicing among the masses. After dinner we met up with Kendall and crew for a few rounds of pool. Out of four games Joey and I won three of them. (How I will never know because both of us are rather lacking in that skill.) During pool a game of chalking ensued. The rules to this game are simple. You take the chalk for the pool cue and you attack an unsuspecting victim leaving a circle or smudge of generally a bright blue or red chalk. If the person does not realize they have been chalked then you gain 10 points while they walk around looking less than intelligent. Exhibit A: Koach Kendall (Not my fault) . Exhibit B: JoePink (Okay, this one was pretty much all me) Exhibit B resulted from a promise made to Kendall that I would get Joey while he slept and then post the picture on this site. Lucky for me the boy sleeps like rock most of the time. He laughed while he washed it off and there were no hard feelings. I am still trying to train myself to sleep with one eye open at all times on the off chance that he feels a need to return the favor. One of the joys of our home is that we have maintained a playful atmosphere but if I can be ahead in this game I will. :) On Saturday "date night" evolved into "date weekend" with a trip to the Aquarium. I'm a big fan. It was a lot of fun and slightly ironic to go check out all of the pretty fish after having had Sushi the night before and then going out to lunch at Fish N Chips later that day. Joey wandering around wondering out loud how such and such a fish would taste. I have to acknowledge that he sparked my curiosity with that one. I have never before considered eating all of the little colorful sea decorations but now... you gotta admit, it could be tasty. Mmmmm... Dori from Finding Nemo with a pineapple sauce and a mango garnish. There is a whole untapped market there. Kids would love it. Maybe.... okay maybe not. Did they still like bacon after watching Babe? I really like this picture because it seems very dramatic. Maybe Joey was carefully considering the buffet for his next meal. We'll never know.

The weekend was concluded with the last race of the season. (Unless you count the RR the first weekend of September which I'm not because Joey isn't going.) In the morning we headed out to the blistering sun in order to watch Bob take 3rd in state for the 45+ league. Very proud moment with lots of clapping, yelling and Joey grinning. Aren't sunflowers a good look for Bob? I think he should carry some with him at all times. They just brighten his whole look up. :) Awwww.....




















And thus was the end of yet another wonderful weekend. Now it is on to the work week/job hunt/joey is out of town and I am going to be bored. Life is good. Blackman over and out.
