Wow I have not been active on this thing.
Oh well, it isn’t like anyone is really reading it any way.
I’m trying really hard to get away from that frame of mind. I shouldn’t write my blog for an audience (because I really don’t have one), but more so for me. I tell other people that all the time – why can’t I listen to my own advice? I’m realizing more and more the things that I forget happened and well, writing them down before I have a chance to complete delete them out of my head would be a good idea.
So, I figure that’s a good place to start a new attitude to my blog.
Yesterday was a blah of a day. I wasted the majority of the daylight hours in the house – playing on the internet, watching horribly addictive reality TV, cooking a super late breakfast, and lounging. I can’t say it was entirely a waste because I was actually a bit relaxed. Relaxed is a place I’ve had a hard time finding lately. Zach was super sore and couldn’t really get out of bed until very late in the day, and for once, it didn’t really bother me too much.
We had a super yummy early dinner at Olive Garden. I can’t remember the last time we went to that place. It was SO GOOD. I was a little on edge when we got there. There was a horrible group in the family room. They were loud and had tons of children that wanted to run up and down the stairs. Zach was a little on edge because he thought I might say something to them. I told him he was probably right. Luckily I didn’t have to do anything though! They quieted down after a gentleman from another table complained to the manager and then went directly to them and told them to keep it down. The rowdy bunch left shortly after that.
Our waitress was AMAZING! She was so funny and talkative. It made Zach a little uncomfortable, but I was cracking up the whole time. It was hard for me to believe that she was only 21!!! She told us stories about a girl that’s mean to here at the restaurant and the kill-‘em-with-kindness things that she does to try to get back at the girl. We talked about love, movies, creepy laughs, American Idol, play pens or sedatives for customers’ children at the restaurant, etc. Her name is Helen, and her boyfriend’s name is Kellan.
We googled Kellan as soon as she told us. I really, really liked the name (as if I’ll ever have kids, but whatever). It’s Irish – Gaelic. It came up with 2 different meanings: Descendant of the Bright-headed one and Slender. I still really like it and told Zach he should come up with a middle name for our fake baby. What goes well with Kellan Rasberry? Or maybe it should be a middle name? I don’t know.
I think every time we see a wandering baby from now on, I will turn to Zach and say “Hey, do you think that kid looks like it should be our Kellan?” evil laugh Zach is so scared that I’m going to come home with a stolen baby or monkey these days. I can’t say I blame him!
After dinner we did a few things at the house, looked up movie times, and called Josh over to go see Terminator with us. While we waited for him to come over, I worked out while Zach played Wii Punch Out. We went to the show. It was OK and I was glad I didn’t get my hopes up for that movie too much. I really love the actor – Anton Yelchin. He plays Reese in this Terminator, is Chekov in Star Trek, and just really adorable.
OK – well, that’s all I really have time for right now. Zach’s finally up and moving and we are probably going to get some lunch together. Going to try to write more later before I forget how it all happened.
