I had the most wonderful, lovely, relaxed weekend ever. On Friday I spoke with Jarrod on my way out the door and he told me that he was on the way to Pennsylvania to work at his grandmother's house. When I asked him where he was he told me he didn't want to tell me because he hadn't gotten very far yet and that he needed to call me right back because he had to use the restroom. I got packed up and left the office then drove back to my apartment. I opened the door ready to start my crappy boring weekend of studying and the gym to find YAY Jarrod was in my kitchen. He came to surprise me!!! I was sooo excited!
After a bit of talking we went to go see Laura who just started her new job at Ben and Jerrys which just opened this weekend. It was friends and family day so we could have whatever we wanted for 1 dollar. I got a huge chocolate covered cake cone with a scoop of chocolate mint icecream and chocolate chip cookie dough. Jarrod got the same cone with Half Baked and we walked back in the rain eating our icecream and being happy. Then we played with Norman and watched BioDome which I borrowed from Laura. Jarrod ordered pizza and we tried to get through Grandma's boy but being the elderly that we are we didn't last and feel asleep quickly.
The next day we went to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. I know how much Jarrod loves plants and it was a lot of fun and beautiful to wander around and look at plants. Afterwards we went to the huge plant sale that they were having and Jarrod bought a Desert Rose which will be very pretty when it gets older.
After the Gardens we hung around the house then went to get Laura from work because we were all going to go see Transformers at the cute theater on Cary street. We decided to go out to dinner first so we went to Mary Angelo's which is usually great. I got Ravioli's with Marinara because I was in the mood for stuffed pasta. The service was sooo slow this day and by the time we finished it was so close to the movie that we decided to not go. We went back to the house and played with Norman. Jarrod took a nap and after Laura left I joined him so we ended up going to bed at 900 (pretty sad I know).
The next day we went for a drive in the country because I wanted to show him how quickly the area becomes country. We drove for a couple hours seeing giant houses and farms and rolling hills. He actually liked the land and I found that from where we went it was only 20 minutes to my job which means we could go out further. Lovely. Afterwards we went to the pet store so that Jarrod could see the monkey and fish they had. Then we went to Wendy's for lunch (not the best idea). When we got home we went over to Laura's to get the Hulk which Jarrod insisted on seeing even though we warned him of how incredibly terrible it was. It was bad. We went to Lowes and I got a snake to fix the tub which wasn't draining and some weather stripping for a door that was not tightly closed. The drain thing was well nasty and Jarrod fixed my door while I made a dinner of squash and zuiccini, chicken, and basmati rice. After dinner we went back to Ben and Jerry's, I got sorbet and Jarrod got a chocolate buzz buzz milkshake. We then went to Laura's so he could say bye. I made sure he was all ready to go and I had to let him go back to the burg. I will be able to see him in two weeks at least. Sigh. I spent the rest of the evening playing with Norman, (who is so comfortable with me now he came up to my face!) and watched the emmy's.
I wish the weekend had never ended.
