All I remember for Friday is that Matt was invited to dinner and drinks at a local BBQ joint and I tagged along to get to know his co-workers better. Apparently, I made a good impression because I was willing to drink beer, eat a giant hamburger, and act like "one of the guys." See, I knew being a tom boy as a kid would finally pay off! Later that evening we watched The Blind Side. Whereas we both liked it, we still don't understand all the award hype that went along with the movie. But I'm glad I finally saw it.
On Saturday, I was ditched by Matt for his other love - golf. He along with 3 co-workers signed up for a tournament work and Matt said they played decently. Apparently they were attempting for either 1st or any other place because the 2nd place winners have to plan next year's tournament. I'm a planner and even I wouldn't want to win 2nd! Apparently that wasn't a problem for Matt's team, because even though they did well, they were no where near 1st, 2nd or even 10th place. :)
While Matt was off having fun, I played the domesticated wife role and joined up with Stephanie to cook/bake for a BBQ we were both invited to. Steph made her homemade baked beans and party potatoes - both of which were delicious! I made dessert which consisted of Oreo topped brownies and whoopee pie cookies. That evening we all went to the BBQ, ate a lot of great food, and we got to meet more of Steph's work friends. It was a fun night. :)
We had a typical Sunday - I was free for the afternoon so Steph wanted to know if I would like to join her to check out the new TJ Maxx in the area. We were blown away as to how many people were there and ended up not buying anything because the line wrapped around the majority of the store. There's another TJ Maxx nearby, so we weren't expecting so many people to be shopping opening day - especially since there were no specific sales. Afterwards, Matt and I did our own thing for the rest of the day. I read, planned out my Monday, prepped tomorrow's grocery list and cleaned/re-organized the kitchen while Matt played video games the entire day/night. Hmmm...well, I guess he does work 5 days out of the week! :)
