My Weekend - Part 2 - The Fun

It's always nice to wake up in a warm bed, definitely one of my favourite things. Even better when it's not the bzzt bzzt of an alarm clock and your own body clock. After the drive the night before I was exhausted and Amy let me sleep in. I awoke to the smell of freshly brewed coffee, cinnamon rolls, and a wonderful smile. Perfection!

We always talk, we talk a lot, in fact hours can pass if we're not careful. The night before I had discovered my wiper blades needed replacing, so I trip to ACE Hardware was needed. Apart from that the day was ours. Knowing that Amy doesn't always get to see the movies she wants to due to the Ninjas having a predilection for pink and princesses, I suggested we catch a movie, an R-rated action movie, something almost unheard of for us single parents of small children.

Well on arrival at the cinema, Underworld Awakening was playing and was only a few minutes in, hurriedly we got our tickets and number 1 combo, and into the theatre we went. 3D no less!

The movie was pretty good, I've always like the Underworld series, good action flicks and the fourth installment lived up to the reputation of the previous films. I won't bore you with a review or anything like that. All I will say is that I think it's worth a watch.


Now Amy is a great cook, I keep telling her this too but am not sure she believes me, I used to cook for a living and sometimes I think I intimidate. But I will say it again... Amy can cook. She made us a great chicken and dumpling stew that was stick to your ribs good. We ate and we talked, I did say we talk a lot, and about everything and anything. Subjects range from kids to quantum mechanics. I love the way we talk, the way we can say whatever is on our minds and the conversation just flows. Hours pass and usually do. This time a couple hours pass and we realize we rented a couple movies to snuggle up on the couch to. 


Everyone comfy and movie starts....Amy nods off.


The following morning I have to leave. Usual sad faces on both of us. Never like leaving Amy, we have so much fun together, smiles never stop when we're together.


The drive home, uneventful and long, the drive home always is, each mile that passes is a mile between us. Chin up, we'll hopefully both be at HIRL NYC in a couple weeks :)
