Bargain Day!

Amanda and I took this photo behind the mall while walking over to Warehouse One and other stores.  Later on we ended up going to Future Shop where we saw that the 3DS was on sale.  It wasn't a small sale -- it was roughly 30% off.  So I finally gave in.  I was able to buy the system and New Super Mario Brothers 2 for less than the normal cost of the 3DS.

So I'm a happy camper right now.  Amanda and I are able to play co-op Mario Brothers and it's a lot of fun.  That said, we're playing individually right now while we watch the SNL Best of Chris Farley on Netflix.

Life is good.

Friday FTW!

It's Friday!  When Amanda got home from work, I had nearly finished cooking supper.  It turned out amazing, and we had some really good cupcakes I picked up at lunchtime for dessert.

So what did we do for our Friday night?  Well...  We looked up an old movie on Netflix that I enjoy and that Amanda had never seen before:  UHF.  We're in the last five minutes or so, and she seems to have enjoyed the whole thing.  It's great because I thoroughly enjoyed rewatching it too!

So what's on the agenda for the weekend?  We've got to do some running around tomorrow.  There are bottles to return and my hair is still in desperate need of cutting.  Beyond that, we'll be trying to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts.  I'd feel really silly if it started snowing next weekend and we *didn't* make the most of things this weekend.

To that end, I think it'd be great if we went geocaching, biking, or spent the whole afternoon in Muskoseepi Park playing frisbee or flying kites.  Will we?  Perhaps not, but it's a nice thought!

Ready for the Long Weekend

It's been a fantastic night.  Amanda and I were sitting on the floor, her in the entryway to our apartment, and me in the hallway, and we were talking about what a great afternoon/evening we'd had so far.

When Amanda and I got home from work, we headed right out again to go to the bank.  We were both happy to be seeing each other and happy that we were at the beginning of three days off, and were making jokes and laughing our butts off the entire time.

We stopped at the mall briefly so I could check on the price of something where we took this photo -- the first one we've taken in a few days!

Even straight from her job at a hydraulic shop, Amanda still was looking incredibly cute.

We went for supper at Arby's, and I was so hungry and enjoyed my curly fries so much that I forgot to dip them in horsey sauce like I normally do.  When we got home, we started pulling our camping stuff out of the storage room and I had an idea.  Since we'd already pulled out a fair amount of stuff from the storage room, it seemed like a good time to clean it out.

So I spent a while emptying, then re-loading the storage room.  In the process, I made enough room to fit *all* of my boxes that have been sitting in the hallway for the last six weeks along with everything that was already in there.  Our hallway seems so incredibly wide now!

While I was putting stuff back into the storage room, Amanda worked away at packing up the cans and bottles that had been stored in the room to get them ready to be recycled.

So we have a clean storage room, a clean, wide hallway, and probably thirty dollars worth of cans and bottles to return.

Now Amanda and I are sitting on the couch, watching an old Richard Pryor comedy routine on Netflix.

Life is good!
