Super Great Weekend

This weekend was so jammed pack I never made the time or even gave it a thought to actually sit down and get on the computer to post... but now I am at work and have the time to post... so have to tell you some of the highlights of my weekend.

Well I took off last Thursday so that I could spend the day with Michael. Right now his days off are Wed and Thurs, so I thought it would be fun to hang out together. It was a blast, we went and ran a few errands I had, bank, return movies to blockbuster... picked up a few more, then we went shopping at the new Wal-Mart they built in Highland Village...... Oh my gosh that is the prettiest Wal-Mart I have ever seen. It doesn't even look like a Wal-Mart. It has all these fresh little places where they have fresh breads, desserts, and even a sushi spot where we stopped to watch them rolling out the stuff to make california rolls... very cool. Totally impressed. We were there for quite awhile and just having the best time shopping together. I loved it. Then we headed over to his place and hung out there for a while before heading back to my house for the night.

Friday turned out to be a very great day. We went to dinner with several of my co-workers at Red Lobster, my fav :) It was great, we had a good time. Then we went to my apt for me to pack an overnight bag to go to his house. One of my friends came to babysit at my apt my 2 puppy dogs so I could have the night free with Michael. His roommate is gone on the weekends so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was nice. I did some cooking which ended up with me burning the top of my hand pretty bad on the top coils of the oven... not a pretty thing. Michael was so adorable and sweet in taking care of me though :0) A couple of his friends came over to visit and we had a good time hanging out. Then they wanted us to come over to their place to play that whole band game... the new guitar hero that has the 2 guitars, microphone and drums... I watched as all the guys played and had several laughs at their expense... was quite funny. Well when we left we went to get gas in Michael's car and as we were sitting there, he says he has to tell me something important... Okay, what could it be. He tells me that there is one thing that is more important to him than anything, more than his family, friends, his job and it's his ...................................... wait for it......


Credit Score... I almost busted out laughing just because he was so serious... and he went on and said that he learned along time ago that everyone is tracked by that and that noone will give you a second glance if your score isn't high... meaning companies and such... and that he works really hard to keep his score high. He tells me he has a 720 and it's never been lower than a 690... I was like okay, lucky you... to myself of course... until he says... I love you more than my credit score... and that's when I did actually lose it. It was the funniest and sweetest, most unique thing I have ever heard. It was just so funny. I think that's the most endearing thing I have ever heard....

Well Saturday, I got him up and going for work and headed to my apt to relieve my puppy sitter... my sister had called and told me that her, her hubby and 3 kids were coming to visit. SUPER EXCITED, anxious for them to meet Michael. They showed up early afternoon just as Michael was getting off. I ran by the store to grab a few more odds and ends to make taco salads for everyone at home and waited for Michael to show up. He was a hit... my sister's husband just loves him and he has never in 7 years liked anyone I have dated. It was crazy to see how much he liked Michael. The kids all loved him too, which is very important to me because my family is my everything. Sunday we got up early, Michael headed off to work and we did some shopping, lunch and then headed over to the Market Center for some shopping. Michael came over and gave us an escort... he's a security guard so we got in easily with some great parking :0) He kept asking if I saw anything I liked while looking at all the jewelry and told me he would give me his credit card if I did... so sweet. I didn't find anything however except for some perfume so I got that myself. He took us for a tour of his building which is never done, but his boss was fine with it... what a treat :0) After that we headed over to the lake behind my apt for awhile to let the kids run around, the weather was amazing, can't believe it's January. Then we headed for Dave and Buster's. The kids love it, and Michael had never been, so I had to show him what I call the Adult Chucky Cheese... I love that place. We had some great food and played some games. The kids were fighting over Michael playing with each of them, it was so cute and made me feel really good too that they approve and actually enjoy him as well. Headed home in time to catch the new Gladiator series with Hulk Hogan and Leila Ali as the hosts... I used to love that series and am super excited to see it back on again... looks good !!
