To update all of you on our last couple of nights...
My dear mother asked to take our darling girl for the weekend. We heartily agreed and dropped her off yesterday afternoon. Mom bought her a cute little watering can/elephant and told us she was going to enlist her aid in watering the plants.
Then we checked into a hotel for the night and decided to go see a movie. We went to 'Funny People'. Short review: some good spots but much too long. Also, more genitalia jokes than you can shake a stick at.
Dinner at Macaroni Grill. We sat on the patio and it was a very nice night. One side effect of our very cool summer is the incredibly nice evenings. Last night was one of them and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The only downside was that our room didn't have a fridge for the leftovers. So we did a quick spin past our house to drop off some food and then back to the hotel.
At the hotel we came back into contact with expanded cable. It was so nice that the FP Gal is already thinking of upping the package again. Then a thunderstorm rolled in and we got a very nice show. Did I mention that our room was on the 17th floor? We had a front row seat for a nice heavy rain and the occasional flash and boom. We loved it.
Back to the house today where we spent a Relia free day. The FP Gal put her nose to the grindstone (as is her wont) and I watched the White Sox beat the Yankees (as is mine). Tonight we went bowling. We got a two hour deal with a flat price and we bowled till our wrists were sore. Somehow I scored 122 points each game. Kind of freaky.
Now we're back home. In the morning we can lay in own bed for as long as want (kitties willing). Doesn't that sound nice?

wow. you are so lucky to have family around that are able to do that for you!
Yes. It sounds like absolute heaven. I remember the days when we would steal away to a local hotel when we had an overnight sitter. Now we just...fish.
