End of world. I'm behind on my blogging. As such, I have not one, but TWO awesome Weekend Recaps for you.
It's been almost two weeks, I have no recollection of what we did on Friday night.
Moving on....
Saturday
we went out and ran some errands. Adam picked up supplies to change the
oil on the Terrain. He was bound and determined to do it himself, so I
went with it. We also picked up a few things at Target, as well as
garage door stripping and painting supplies at Home Depot. Adam didn't care, but I refused to spend another winter looking at that peeling garage
door.
For lunch, we had Smashburger. We saw the new AT&T store across the way,
and decided to drop in to see if they had any new iPhone 5S details and
to switch our plan in anticipation of getting new phones. Long story
short, we did switch our plan AND I walked out with a new iPad. I'm so
excited! You may wonder why I didn't just wait for the new one to come
out in November. I have no answer for you. I'm impatient.
Back at home, Adam gave the Terrain it's first oil change ever while I played with my new toy. Chester was not impressed and thought I should be playing with him.
I also cut the flowers that were still alive from the Farmer's Market and put them into a little vase. It was cute.
That night, we watched Oblivion. It's a SciFi flick with Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. It was actually really good and I would recommend it. Adam even enjoyed it.
Sunday
was our wonderful garage door project day. It turned out being a much
bigger project than I anticipated. We started work stripping off the old
paint around 10:30, took a break from around 1:45-3 to watch the rest
of the Vikings loss, and then were back at it until 5. It was
frustrating. That's all I'm going to say about that.
Chester was a
very good boy and sat on his bed by the back door all day. We kept the
door open so he could watch us through his lower window in the screen
door.
Weekend Recap #2: New iPhone(s), Girls Trip to Rushford and MORE Garage Fun
We were 10th in line when the
store opened. Adam had decided on the space grey, and I wanted the
white/silver. While we were in line, it was announced that they (and ALL
AT&T stores across the nation) had only been shipped ONE of the
three available colors due to low supplies (and they didn't even have
many of that one). Really?!? Nice launch, Apple. Lucky for Adam, the one
color they had was the one he wanted. Inside, Adam got his new phone
and I ordered mine in white/silver. There was no ship date given, but
the guy estimated a 3 week minimum. I was pissed. I was even more pissed
when I got an e-mail confirming my order that stated it would be
shipped between October 21-30. Completely ridiculous.

By then it was lunch
time, so the three of us had burgers and a drink at a local restaurant.
It was fun. We then went up to the Scenic Overlook and enjoyed beautiful day and the views
of the bluffs, town, and country.
Back at Laura's we
chatted, and then watched her wedding video! It was fun to watch even if
my dancing was awkwardly hilarious. And then my point and shoot camera
decided to quit working. The shutter won't open. Obviously technology
was not my friend this weekend.
Around 7:30, we headed to the supermarket to grab supplies to make dinner. I made everyone cheesy stuffed shells. We didn't get on the road back until 9:30, so it was midnight by the time I got home. Luckily, Adam and Chester were waiting up for me!
After the game, we headed outside and put the first coat of paint on the door. We bought a painter and primer in one, but it's definitely going to need more than one coat. Unfortunately, it needed 4 hours between coats, so we only got one coat done that night. So this is how it looks. Not great, yet, but much better than before!
Next we have to put on another coat and do something about that brown trim...
