This weekend involved eating a lot of pizza. Saturday was my first full day off. I got up and had some coffee, and read my bible. I hung out in my room for some along time. Once I emerged I was playing the Wii with the boys. What hardships I have right. But, after a few games I had to run my errands. After the bank I wanted to try this breakfast and lunch only place called Eggsperience. First of all, it has like my favorite food in the name how bad can it be. I had classic bacon and eggs with toast and hash browns, and a cup of some coffee. Well, I have to say the Snack Shop has nothing on this place. The coffee was better here, but give me the greasy spoon any day over the place that follows all health code requirements. Also the service was not that great. I know I was alone and reading a book but I would like you to come and ask me how everything is right. I still gave a large tip and was excited that the price was not too bad compared to the other restaurants on the street.
I went to Dicks Sporting Goods after I ate my brunch. I wanted to see what bikes they had. And they are actually having a sale on the 2010 models. There is the perfect bike for me for less then 300 dollars. I would have to figure out if I can buy it at the end of this week. But, if I buy it I can ride to places around town and ride with the boys. I also would have a bike that I could use later in life as a commuter bike. The bike technician was helpful and very nice. Any question I asked he was able to answer, and he also told me I about where bike races happen on Thursday nights. There are only two weeks left so I might go and watch one of the two nights. He also told me I could bring in my Trek and he would give it check to make sure it is in tiptop shape, with no cost. I guess my talkative manner and interest helped a little there, or he really wants the sale.
After, Dicks I went home and watched my DVD from Netflix, which was MI-5 otherwise known as Spooks. You don’t even know how much I love British Television. I wish I could get BBC not BBCA. Our shows that they give us are not even this year’s series. Well, maybe sometimes but not always. I am really only watching MI-5 because in the seventh series Richard Armitage will be acting in it. One of my favorite actors, he also has stared in Robin Hood, and North & South, both also by BBC.
Saturday night I went over to my friend Jessica’s house, my first time driving down into Chicago. I did not have to drive that far only like 15 minutes down the road, but still within city limits. Good for me. I arrived and the plan was to watch the last preseason game of the Chicago Bears. Which I am pretty sure they lost. But, we got distracted by “The Time-Traveler’s Wife, so we watched that instead.
During the course of the movie, pizza came which was a nice surprise. And while we were eating pizza and watching the movie Jessica’s dogs decided to take a stroll down the street without leeches and anyone walking them. We go out and search for the dogs. Cha Cha went the farthest but was still just in the neighbor’s yard. Mia went across the street to visit the neighbors; she thought they needed to pet her. Once Jessica and I returned to the movie there was no longer an emotional connection and neither of us cried when the sad part happened. (I would say what it is but I do not want to spoil the ending for those who have not seen it.)
Caroline, Jessica's new roommate came home because she was going to spend the night there for the first time. I decided to leave while they were having putting things away in the kitchen roommate time. I stayed out the latest I have ever stayed out since being here, I got home at like 10:50. I am such a wild child.
