I picked this up yesterday at Barnes & Noble for Brian as a “welcome home” gift. This week has actually gone by pretty quickly. It hasn’t been bad, but I am really glad that he’s back. I have missed him so much.<\/p>\n

Being busy has helped me get through the week a lot easier. Let’s see, I dropped him off at the airport on Sunday and that was the day I came home and crashed and spent most of the day in bed because of a fever.<\/p>\n

I missed work on Monday to go to the doctor. Went to see my parents and then came home and crashed again. I was starting to feel better though.<\/p>\n

I was back to work on Tuesday, followed by dinner with Jen that evening. I picked up a really nice business card holder at Lucinda’s. I think this is what guilted me into buying a “welcome home” gift for Brian. Believe it or not, my tiny little business card holder cost more than his Watchmen book.<\/p>\n

Wednesday night was spent having dinner with my in-laws. We had pork chops, and mac and cheese, and corn. Yum! I got to take some leftovers for lunch at work the next day. Speaking of which, I think I left the container on my desk. That is going to be really stinky on Monday. Ugh.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving dinner at Cherry Creek was on Thursday night. Grandma and grandpa were nice enough to invite me, so I got to have dinner with them, David, Donna, and their friend John.<\/p>\n

Jan was looking forward to us hanging out since Brian was out of town so we scheduled our time on Friday before poker. She took me out to dinner at Jason’s Deli and we ran around Bradley Fair for a while. She had a coupon to claim at Origins and we checked out the closeout sale at Harold’s where I found some things I liked (like a couple of argyle sweaters and some blouses that would be good for work) but their prices, even though discounted, were still too high.<\/p>\n

We also went to Franklin Covey and Barnes & Noble where I picked up a couple of things for Jen’s birthday coming up. Then I took her home and headed to poker, which was a bad idea because I’m in a bit of a rut. I didn’t even make it to break. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Today I went to the gym, locked myself out of the house, had breakfast with my rescue party at Jimmy’s Egg, played Phase 10 with the grandparents for three hours, and then finally went to pick up Brian at the airport. Now he is back home, so the week has gone by relatively quickly. <\/p>\n

Anyway, time to give Brian a body rub. The post about Jimmy’s Egg is still coming. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
