On Friday last week I drove down to Naples FL to spend time with my love while he enjoyed a long weekend. I left here around 9 AM and got down to him by about half past 4. We ended up doing dinner at IHOP instead of out with his henchmen on Friday night. IHOP turned into an experience. We got there and they were so understaffed that the wait staff was bussing tables and doing dishes and no manager was on premisis, so it took Josh getting up and letting someone know we were at the table before we got service. Poor waitress was so stressed out and felt so bad that we were waiting. Took a while to get our meals as well because the kitchen was under staffed. It was nuts, any way we both finally got our meals after waiting over an hour in an almost empty restaurant and what happens? Lightening strikes a transformer and knocks out the power so I get to eat dinner in the dark. On the upside dinner was free that night!
Saturday we got together with one of Josh's buddies and his fiance for a trip to the beach. What a great location it was, nice calm area for Eric to swim and splash around. They also have it set up as a dog park and Eric enjoyed playing with the four legged fur balls! That evening was group dinner out. Incredible lobster at a pound and a half for $20 couldn't beat it.
Sunday we kind of got ditched so Josh and I went to the flea market in the area and walked around for a bit. We went into an upscale dress shop because Josh saw a dress he thought would compliment me both in color and fit. I don't think he realized the caleber of the dress shop when he had me try the dress on. Apparently he really liked the way the dress looked on me and the way I looked in the dress because he had no hesitation about buying the dress even after he found out it was almost $200. He gets out his credit card to make the purchase and the sales lady is a total flake, isn't sure how to install a fresh roll of paper in the credit card machine, so Josh helps her and has the paper inserted the wrong way so when she goes to run his card and print out the reciept it doesn't print out on the paper. Turns out the ink only shows up on the one side of the paper. Of course she's not fluent in how to use the machine so after they get the paper turned around and test to make sure it's printing she doesn't know how to pull up the transaction we made for the dress and confirm that the transaction went through and was pending payment. So we paid for a dress and walked out of the shop without the dress (situation resolved). Asked Preston if he'd be willing to keep an eye/ear on Eric while he slept so we could go out for a date night. While we were out we ran into one of the couples at one of the clubs and had a great time. Was nice to be out and about town with my sexy husband.
Monday was a hang at the dorm kind of day. Hang out at the dorm for a while and get a call to head over to the apartment complex of one of Josh's buddies cause they have a community pool and we can all hang out. We get there, only there about half an hour and the other two couples totally bail on us and tell us to call them then they don't answer phones or their front door. We head back to the dorm have dinner with Josh's roommate Preston and just hang out.
Tuesday I have a chance to hit the school bookstore and buy a shirt for myself and a shirt for my mom before Josh heads to class. Thankfully he only had morning classes and we were able to spend the afternoon together hanging out and I was able to go to one of the local nail salons and get my nails done. The person who worked on my nails tore my fingers up and didn't clean up the areas where I had lifting. Just pissed me off didn't give him much of a tip and it cost me $25 to get the work done where as here at home for a fill and repair it would have cost me $20 and the job would have been done correctly. Snuck in some ColdStone Creamery while I was down there as well. Josh is located in a great area, right up the road from him is Walgreens, Publix, Blockbuster, chinese food, italian food, Subway, Starbucks, a dentist office, and a decent size hospital. What I need to check on in the area is a public park/play area for Eric.
Life is truly good and God has truly blessed us that we are able to be in two separate living spaces and make all our bills and not have to worry about being so excessively in debit that we will be paying off loans for the next 30 or 40 years.
