A trip to Annapolis…

DH and I had a nice weekend last weekend. It went by way too fast like always. Saturday morning I went to Macy’s to refill my Clinique acne solutions supplies. I was like putty in their hands. They have a free gift giveaway for October and of course I reserved myself a gift bag. We went to a flag football practice on Saturday. Our games start the first weekend in October. Then we hung out with friends Emily and Matt at Emily’s apartment (soon-to-be Matt’s apartment to). We watched college football all night. Sunday brought more football and some errand running. DH and I went in search of light jackets at Burlington Coat Factory. I can’t believe I had never been there before but they had great coats at reasonable prices. I got a light tan coat to wear in the fall and spring. I’ve wanted a nice light coat for a while and it’s nice to finally have one.

So DH and I decided that we were going to go to Annapolis on Friday for a daytrip since we both have it off. Well that kind of evolved into staying the night there. We should save the money for something else, but we’re going to try to be cheap. It’s amazing how one little night can excite me so much. We’ve actually wanted to do this for a while ever since we read about a ghost pub tour that they do like a year ago. We thought it would be really fun. Of course, it would require an overnight stay in Annapolis, because we don’t feel like driving back to Arlington after drinking all evening. I’m really excited about getting away for a night with DH and enjoying a fun night in Annapolis. We’re staying at a historic inn right in the center of town. I hope it’s nice.

I started a book the other day recommended by the some ladies on the Nest Book Club called “The Tea Rose.” It’s really great! I get excited about lunch when I can spend the whole hour reading it. I’ll probably be done with it in a few days. I picked up a few other books at the library for $.50 a piece. I love getting used books for cheap. DH’s picked up Omnivore’s Dilemma which was recommended by a friend. Although I know I should read it, I’m worried that after reading it, I won’t be able to eat anything but organic. He’s reading it and will pass on any important tid-bits to us, so that we can change our diet. We bought organic milk for the last couple of weeks and it is really tasty so I think we will keep that up. We’ll probably get some organic eggs next week.

I’m planning on going to yoga tonight as well. Gosh, I’m turning into hippie or as my BIL/SIL would call it, a granola. But whatever, I like this healthy living thing. It’s nice and I will keep it up as long as possible.
