This weekend Rob and I actually got to do something together! Without Emerald! (You know we love her, but she is a toddler, after all, and everyone needs a break from a toddler sometimes.) Joy & Charlie (and Aidan) were nice enough to have Em over to spend the night on Saturday night. They went to the mall and out to eat at The Olive Garden. Probably a lot more fun than she would have had with me and Rob anyways.
I made them some homemade chili as a thank you.
So on Saturday with all our extra free time, Rob and I drove to Nashville to see Stephen Lynch, one of our favorite comedians. We ate at Chili's and no one threw salsa in my hair--guess Rob was feeling especially well-behaved? Anyway, Stephen Lynch is a great musician and his whole show is music. He has a whole crew of super talented musicians that perform with him. But it's hilarious. Oh, and sacrilegious, irreverent, filthy, completely offensive (ok, so he can sing about Anne Frank and make it funny-but you really just have the be there) and a lot of fun. He's had a couple of ComedyCentral specials, and you can find some of his videos on YouTube ("Craig" and "Dr. Stephen" are two of my favorites), but I wouldn't if you are easily offended. Or maybe not even if you have ever been offended by anything.
We got back home at 2 a.m. Sunday and slept until noon.
It was glorious.
Sunday night we had Alex over for dinner and finally got to catch up with him.
And the best part? We don't have any obligations for this upcoming weekend either. It's nice to have a break for a change, especially before the holiday gauntlet!
