weekend highlights 5/25/2009

" Wishing everyone a happy Memorial Day......

Another weekend that has come and gone, but this time it was a three day weekend.. (pretty soon I"m going to have a series of three day weekends, but that is a story for a different time.)

Weekend consisted of enjoying the weather, babaysitting. running errands etc, but it was a nice weekend..

Friday... Consisted of me working till 3:00pm I love Friday's because they are my short days. After work going to get my oil changed. came home and did laundry, before we met up with Kris's mom at Buffalo Wild Wings. where we cheered the Blackhawks to victory. Well that victory was short lived.. More details to come later..

After the game we came home and relaxed..

Saturday!!........

Kris worked... and I babysat the cutest 2 year old in the world.. The weather was nice, so we played and played and played (well you get the idea) outside.. Then we walked around Streets of Woodfield.. which is located in Schaumburg by Woodfield Mall.. It is outdoor strip mall that consistes of stores From Dicks Sporting goods to Carsons, Gameworks and of course Starbucks.. If you like to be outside, walk around and shop, Streets of Woodfield is a place to go...

We came home and relaxed, before we went out to dinner and ran some of our errands ( Target).

Sunday>>>>>>

We started off by putting out my patio furniture.. and staying home to watch the hockey game, well that was a mistake and short lived:( I ended up watching the rest of The Indy 500... Helio Castronevas won the race. and Danika Patrick came in 3rd... I couldn't watch the game anymore so Kris and I decided to go bike riding. We headed North on the trails, passing Dempster, Beckwith, Golf Rd, I got as far as Glenview Rd and had to turn around, but I rode a total of 12 miles.:):):)

The evening consisted of dinner at Panera Bread, and had to stop at Jewel. Who would have thought going to Jewel on a Sunday night would be an adventure. As we were walking in one of my pharmacy customers were checking out, and instead of just saying," hello," she made a big production. she said," Is that your husband," he's so cute, and she said to one of the cashiers, she works for your competition, " Dominick's," normally I would be surprised, but I wasn't..

We came home and Kris and I spent a nice romantic night together, before we turned in for the night.

Monday (Memorial Day)...........

Traditionally on Memorial Day we go by Kris"s aunts house for a BBQ.. This year we still went by his aunts house, but the weather didn't corporate for the BBQ. We stilled grilled, but since it was, cold, cloudy, and rainy the BBQ went from outdoors, to indoors. It was still nice to get together. Finally we came home and relaxed, before we have to go back to work.

Till next week, have a good week everyone:)

my weekend highlights 5/16/09

Another weekend that has come and gone... where do the weekends go???

Friday... I work till 3:45
had a nail appointment
came home did the laundry.

for dinner Kris and I went to GIGIO'S for dinner... it is this small little family owned Italian
restaurant on Oakton in Des Plains, IL they have everything from pizza, pasta dishes, to meatball
sandwiches.. They used to be for years in the shopping center in Niles by Home Depot, on the corner of Oakton and Waukegan.

After dinner we went to Jewel and did our grocery shopping. then we came home.


Saturday...
Saturday was a productive day.... I had a hair appointment at 10;00am
lunch at Potbelly
followed by dessert at Jamba Juice ( my first time having anything there:))
yes I'm a Jamba Juice virgin.
then we drove to Spring Hill Mall in West Dundee IL, it was time to get my wedding ring inspected and that's where my jeweler is.

went to Woodfield mall.. able to find my gym shoes.. ( Sketchers Shape Ups) great shoes for people who love to walk.. when you are walking the form of the shoe is suppose to help you with your posture,and your leg and stomach muscles.. When walking you are suppose to feel like you are walking on sand..

Kris was misssing Hawaii so he got a little taste of Hawaii.. He has been looking for a bracelet and he found one at Na Hoku.:)

Got to enjoy the sun before it set. Kris and I went walking. We parked at one of the groves along Harms and walked North just passed Lake Cook Rd. It was a nice walk.

After we went walking we went to dinner followed by going to Target. Finally we came home for the evening.

Sunday....

We watched game one of the Western Conference Finals Hawks vs Redwings at BWW in Skokie.
An old friend joined us.. Even though we didn't like the outcome of the game, it was nice to see her. Side note It wasn't a good day in sports for the people of Chicago. the Cubs,Sox's and Hawks all lost.. AS far as the hawks Redwings series it's only game one and we will get them on Tuesday..

Tomorrow starts the Eastern Conference finals. The Pittsburgh Penguins vs The Carolina Hurricanes.. this should be a good series.. Divide and conquer in The Nelson household and who is going to come out on top.. that is TBA:):)

Overall it was a productive weekend for me... Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend which means a 3 day weekend:) Till then have a good week:)
