Had A Great Weekend
Even though I had to go into work for about 4 hours yesterday. I know, it was Mother's Day and I'm a horrible son for going into work on Mother's Day, but in the end, I think I probably helped my mom by getting out of the house for awhile yesterday. See, even on Mother's Day, my mom cooks, for everyone. But, she treats herself by making her favorite thing in the world, lobster. So when my mom gets into "People Are Coming Over" mode, I've found its best to get the hell out of her way. The more she yells at me to do every little thing five thousand times makes me mad, and I don't want to be mad at my mom on Mother's Day.
So, to avoid that, I got the hell out of dodge and racked up some OT at work, trying to fix our problems with a guy at HP. Thankfully we finally have a tech who knows his shit, so much so that he talked about all this stuff for about two hours on the phone Sunday. I can't remember the last time I had a two hour phone conversation with Elena, but me and this guy did. It was interesting though, I must admit, and I think we're headed in the right direction as to fixing our issues.
Other than work, I had a great weekend. Let's recap: Went out to dinner with Brett on Friday and got pretty buzzed on some good honey beer. Came home, showed Brett the wonders of burning a mix CD, and waited around for Elena to show up. She spent the night, which was really, really nice by the way. I'm not one to kiss and tell, not even with my closest friends, we just don't talk about our sexual conquests, because we're gentlemen. Plus I don't need those images in my mind of my friends. But suffice to say, it was good. Enough said.
Saturday we went to see Kill Bill Vol. 2. Yes, I saw it again. So that makes three times I've seen it in the theatres, well, two and half if you count actually being conscious enough to follow and remember the story. Elena really liked it, and then we went to Target for Mother's Day and birthday and graduation cards. After shopping Elena said she just can't shop with me anymore, and I agreed with her. I'm not a good shopping companion, at least not for her, because even though she knows what she needs, she looks at EVERYTHING. Not my thing, sorry. I like spending money as much as the next guy, but I can't walk around a store for hours, I'd go nuts. Oddly enough, the girl hates huge malls, because there's just too much to look at. I love the huge malls, especially ones with more than one floor, don't ask me why, I just do, because there's more to look at. I just don't spend time looking.
Saturday night Elena had dinner with her cousins, and when her cousins's husband came home, I was permitted to join them. So kind of them, right? We watched Big Fish, because her cousin really wanted to see it and heard it was really good. I don't think she fully knew what it was about, because once it was over, she ran out of the room bawling like crazy, which made me feel bad, since it was my DVD we were watching. Turns out her father had passed away a few years ago, so watching a movie about your father dying, isn't at the top of your list, usually. And her husbands father just got over a bout with cancer, which the main character is sying of in the film. So put those two together and you have a bad movie choice. Once the movie was over we headed back to my house and passed out. Just exhausted, and I don't know why.
Sunday she headed home to go to brunch with her family for Mother's Day and I headed into work. Once I was done I went home and relaxed for awhile because I was still exhausted. My grandma, aunt and uncle and friends of my parents came over for dinner. Its kind of cool talking to one of my parent's friends, he's a professor of philosphy at a college in New Jersey, so he's always full of interesting conversations. Elena came over after dinner, we had some dessert and before the Sopranos came on, we went and did the most romantic thing in the world, we returned bottles and cans to get the 5 cents back! I had bags in my trunk that my dad wanted me to return, they'd been sitting in the garage. So I'd been carrying them around for weeks, too lazy to cash them in. It took Elena to get my ass in gear to go do it quickly. As we were cashing them in one of said oh how much fun it was, so I mentioned something about it being a dream date. And then, with a pocketful of quarters I said I could use the change to buy her something nice, at which point she said I already buy her too much. It was a sweet moment.
So was the Target parking lot. Some woman was screaming at her kid trying to help her out of the shopping cart, and was just way too loud. I said after we passed by, remind me never to have kids. At which point Elena said she thinks I'd make a good dad, which was a really nice thing to say. Scary because I can't even imagine having kids, but really nice. She asked if I thought she's make a good mom and of course I said yes, because she would, and that was it.
The Sopranos were quite good last night, and then we channel surfed until we found The Hot Chick, which was kind of funny, although I fell asleep at the end. Once it was over we surfed some more until we found some trashy softcore porn on Skinemax, which just always seems to put us in the mood. Don't ask me why. So after some more great intamacy, I passed out, woke up this morning and went to work. Fun fun fun.
Don't know what the plan is for tonight. I think we're hanging out with one of her friends who goes to grad school in Connecticut, and probably going to see Van Helsing. Randy and his friend Jason saw it the other night and said it was good, so I'll check it out. Its probably dumb fun, but thats OK too.
Must get back to work. Adios people!

Aww man... such a tease! ;) Some of aren't having any great sex any more and have to live vicariously through other people! LOL And about the soft core porn - I'd think something was wrong with someone if it didn't put them in the mood (at least if someone was there with them). Sounds like a busy weekend, have a great Monday!

Oh yeah. Not only am I jealous about you actually having a sex life, but I'm insanely jealous that you have a mom that cooks. Well, I mean, my mom cooks but I've never seen lobster come out of her kitchen! If people are coming over, she refuses to make anything but lasagna. She thinks it's the only thing she can make that people like. Untrue, but she's not creative. And she burns things. At least when I get married I have my mom to blame when my husband complains ;)
