Friday night my boyfriend and I went bowling. It was a function put on by our employer. I was not feeling well on Friday and really didn't feel like going. I actually asked someone else to take my place (someone who wanted to go but didn't have a team). They already had made other plans so I decided to stick it out and go. Other people were counting on me and I didn't want to ditch. I actually ended up feeling better after resting for 30 minutes after work before we had to leave. I ended up having a good time. My high score out of three games was 136. I was pleased. My boyfriend, not to be outdone, outscored me by 100 points. Yes, he bowled a 236. I have NO idea how he did it. We have been bowling three times in the 3 and a half years we've been together (3.5 years tomorrow!) so it's not like he gets a lot of practice.
Saturday night we went out with another couple. We went to a Thai restaurant which was good, but I was actually a little disappointed by my Pat Thai. The other couple really applied some pressure about going out for dessert afterward and I caved. We went to this AMAZING little place and my boyfriend and I split a slice of Austrian Chocolate Torte. To match, I also ordered an Austrian Hot Chocolate. Best hot chocolate I've ever had and it was a perfect complement to the torte.
Sunday was spent knitting. I started a hat for a friend on Thursday but Saturday night, when it was almost done, I decided it was no good. I needed to start fresh. It was too big, and I messed up on switching between two colors in one row and the stitches in between looked all weird. Unacceptable! So Sunday morning I unraveled every last stitch and started over. I spent about 6 hours trying to re-do it. My friend was expecting to get it on Monday and I wanted to get as far as possible. She won't get it tomorrow, but she will on Tuesday. I think the size is much better, and I figured out how to switch the colors without it looking all funky. It's a hat for a 1 year old and it looks like a strawberry. I can't wait to show you the finished product.
I also meant to bake some brownies from scratch (for the first time ever) but it just didn't happen. I bought all the ingredients two weeks ago, and my boyfriend is eagerly awaiting them ever since. I better get around to that soon.
Final note on the weekend: we had fabulous weather here. Warm(ish) and plenty of sunshine. I am getting so excited about the first signs of spring that should be started to pop up in another month or so.
So how was your weekend? Productive? Relaxing?
Ah, yes. Bowling. My husband and I have bowled together maybe three times in 20 some years. He's awesome at it and has a particularly hilarious delivery. He walks up to the line and then CHUCKS THE BALL. No smooth arm swing. Just a chuck. It's the completely wrong way to do it, but he scores better than me, so hey, whatever works.
It was nice here, too, this weekend. How glorious it felt to get out for a walk in the sun and fresh air after a long winter. Bring on the heat!
Haha. Sounds like you two need to bowl more often so you can have a good laugh. Perfect activity for the winter, I think. Congrats on twenty plus years of marriage!
