-- Pancakes --

This is from Friday. 

Every Friday, Mike and I have breakfast together...  It's the only day that I don't have to get up before 5am. 

This time, it was pancakes!

-- Light Fights --

Do you ever fight over the most random things?  Or start a fight and by the time you are done, you don't remember what you are fighting about? 

Well, last night I did just that to Mike. 

We were both sitting in the office working on our computers and all of a sudden Mike pops up starts running and says I'm going to bed.  Well, I like to go to bed before him.  Why?  That will have to be saved for another day.  He also turns the lights off in rooms I'm using, like the office.  Nonetheless, we still have to make sure all the doors are locked, lights are off, dogs were let out, etc. 

So I asked him if he did these things?  <-- of course he didn't, but he always says one of two things.
1. Of Course
2. I think I did. 

I needed a drink of water.  Since the above mentioned "before bed" duties are usually his, I just asked him to go check and grab me some water.  Response -- I don't need any water.  Good night.  {Lays in bed, pulls the covers up, and invites Lex (our big dog) onto my spot on the bed}

So now I'm mad.  I walk downstairs to let the dogs out, get some water, make sure the garage door is shut, and turn the lights off.  None of the things he said were done were done.  Then who comes down the stairs?  You guessed it! 

He does this on purpose you know.  So now I'm mad.  I finish with everything downstairs, go upstairs to get my pajamas on.  Mike has hidden them.  Seriously?  Yes, Seriously.

I stand up on the bed, and put my foot on his chest and say WHERE ARE MY PAJAMAS... 
I finally get them on and get into bed. 

This entire fight was basically over turning the lights off.  Both turning them off to stay off and turning them off on me when I need them. Turning the lights off.  Does this ever happen to anyone else or am I the only one who doesn't want to get up in the morning to all the lights on and doors unlocked when I was told it was taken care of. 

The Parking Garage

OK, so have you ever had trouble getting out of a parking garage?  Well, I have. 

Last week we went to Weber Grill downtown with Mike's parents.  I had to meet them there because I was giving lesson so Mike drove with his parents and I drove by myself.

I parked in a parking garage that I have parked in many times before, but this time I parked on the 5th level instead of the usual 2nd.  I've been parking in this garage since I was about 18 and driving to Pan Am to put skaters on for competition, but seriously I've never had to park above the 2nd level. 

So we finished dinner...which was REALLY good by the way...and then said our goodbyes, walked around for a bit, and then finally made it back to my car.  I was driving and Mike was in the passenger seat. 

Apparently the signs for getting out of the parking garage PAST THE 2ND LEVEL were not very clear.  Mike became a little angry with me because I kept making wrong turns... where it would say exit ->, I would go -> and then I'd be back on the 5th level.  Then I'd try it again, assuming I missed the exit...The first time I did...but after that, where it would say to exit, it would only go up so we went around again. 

It probably took us 20 minutes to get out the garage...

My favorite part though was when Mike thought it was all me and I was doing it wrong (And I was), he tried to guide me and I was all for it because I totally wanted out of this large garage maze.  So he tried to tell me where to turn and which ways to go...and we still ended up going the wrong way. 

Finally with a bit of teamwork we turned out onto Illinois St.  THANK GOD!!! 

And we drove home.

Grocery Shopping

Last night we went to the grocery store.

I probably should say that I went to the grocery store rather than we...

OR I should say I went with Mike and all his friends because he spent the entire time we were there with his phone stuck to his face! And to each one of them, he'd talk for like 5 minutes, look at me (giving him the evil grin), and then he'd say... "oh, we are grocery shopping let me call you back."

Then it would ring again...

This may as well be him in the picture.

Seriously Mike!

Then I even paid! I may as well have gone by myself.

Breakfast

Yes, Mike and I are still carpooling.  He gets up with me in the morning, I drive to work and then he usually goes and sleeps in the car somewhere for a little while before he starts his day. 

Today however, he sends me a text that states "I just had breakfast."  Well I'm thinking McDonalds or whatever. 

WRONG...

Apparently Mike today went to breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn's Continental Breakfast...

And read the USA today! 

HERE...

For FREE!

Wow...what have I married!?!?  :)

Carpool 2

This morning we are driving to work. 

Mike sleeps in the passenger side while I drive.  I started with NPR on the radio, but then quickly changed to a station that played music. 

Mike is snoring in the passengers side when Baby Go Back comes on the radio.  It actually was on once I switched the channel. 

SNORE... Baby Got Back. 
Little in the Middle... SNORE. 

How does he do that?!
