great weekend

Dan and I are having a wonderful weekend this weekend.  He took Friday morning off and we spent that together. After he left to work in the afternoon, I went to the store and got a lot of good stuff to make dinner. When he got home, we made that dinner - a Thai dish with stir fried rice noodles, vegetables, tofu, eggs, and shrimp. I underestimated the amount of time it would take to make the dinner - it took forever to de-shell the shrimp - and it took us over two hours to make what looked like it would be a simple stir fry in the wok. But man of man - was it ever good when it was finally ready! We each ate two platefuls, with huge mugs of steaming hot tea. Oh, that was good! Then we chased each other around the house and had tickle fights, and I tried to steal his socks, and stuff like that. It was good.

This morning the kids called very early to let us know all was going well in Battle Creek. We spent the morning curled up in bed, and fed each other breakfast. We then watched the movie Serenity, based upon the television series Firefly, which I have very recently finished watching. We both enjoyed Serenity a lot. Then we ate a great lunch, featuring warm whole wheat pita bread and various samples of gourmet cheeses from three different countries.

We are expecting the kids back this afternoon or early this evening, so we are now fully clothed and are trying to get productive stuff done.
