Making up for lost time

Frank & I haven't quite kicked off the new year on the right foot...As I mentioned in my last post, he spent the first 10 days of 2010 in Tampa, FL working towards getting his Soccer A License...And then upon his return, I flew to Chicago to attend a week of training for work (in St. Charles, about an hour outside of Chi-Town).

Frank picked me up from the airport Friday evening and brought me home to a phenomenal surprise dinner...steak and lobster complete with three bouquets of tulips as a table centerpiece...Quite the 'welcome home'! Yesterday, with a morning soccer game (for him) and Mary Kay's bridal shower in the afternoon(for me), our time was limited, but we did end the evening with dinner for the two of us at Chef Geoff's to take advantage of Restaurant Week. After debating whether to hit up a late night movie, we opted to head back to the house and catch up on our DVR. (Since I haven't been feeling too well the past few days, it seemed like an appropriate way to end the evening!)

Since I granted myself 'permission' to be lazy this weekend (Chicago took a lot out of me!), I slept in both mornings, DID NOT squeeze in any runs (even though the temperatures yesterday were ideal), and am now still lounging around in my PJs...Ahhhh...In an attempt to be somewhat productive this weekend, Frank & I are heading to Home Depot later on to seek some ideas for our bathrooms (since we are planning to renovate two of our bathrooms this year).

Here's to spending QT together over the next two weeks...before Frank heads out to Las Vegas for Mike's Bachelor Party!
