Not too shabby

How was the weekend, girls? The Beau and I were both at home this weekend, which is rare, and it was so nice. I spent Saturday morning cleaning (if you could have seen my house you would have died) and we spent the afternoon watching football at my parents. Sunday afternoon we went and saw Fireproof. I know that many of you have seen it and many of you have blogged on it so I won't elaborate too much but I did love it! I cried my way through the movie and by the end I felt like I had been beat to death. My head hurt and my eyes were heavy ... but totally worth seeing. Check out this website for some great literature and resources on "fireproofing" your marriage.

I left this afternoon for the week, I will be gone until Friday. I have been travelling the majority of the weekdays for the past 8 weeks and today was the first time I really didn't want to leave. Of course, I never want to be away from the Beau but he works 65+ hours a week and has an hour commute each way so we don't get to spend a whole lot of time together Monday - Thursday. And those few hours in the evenings are precious to me. I just feel a twinge of guiltiness ... I swear I can't tell you the last time I have cooked dinner or have even been to the grocery store. There are about 5 different couples we need to have over, I have missed Book Club the past 2 months, we have missed several different activities with our Sunday School Class (including going to see Fireproof together since they went on a week night). I told the Beau last night that I hope all of our friends had not forgotten about us. It took a good amount of time for us to find a good social-network and Sunday School Class and as soon as we did I basically fell off the face of the earth. But there is light at the end of the tunnel - there is only about 3 more weeks of this and I will be at home all of November and December! Just in time for the holidays :)

On a better note, when I checked in to my hotel just a little while ago I was super impressed, it's not too shabby! If there is one thing I am snobby about it is HOTELS (okay, to be fair there are a few things I am snobby about but hotels are highest on the list). I have heard horror stories about the cleanliness of hotels and if I thought about it too much I would probably just sleep in my car!

In 2006 the Beau and I went to Orlando for his birthday for the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot and we had this whole package for 2 nights, 2 days at the park, etc., etc. Well to make a long story short I refused to stay in the hotel that had already been purchased, the Beau thought I was being a B until he went in to the bathroom, we checked out (no reimbursement) and went and found a Marriott. I am super-serious about cleanliness in hotels ... my house might not be spic-n-span all of the time but, by golly, I am not staying in a mediocre-clean hotel.

Anyways, back to my point, the hotel I am in now is totally cute! It is a Hampton Inn but it is downtown and is more of a boutique hotel. My room is red and black (one of my fave color-combos ... besides pink and green, of course) and I am really liking it here. The housekeeper even left a little note saying that she "had the pleasure of cleaning my room today" ... how nice is that. If I ever find pleasure in cleaning any room someone better call an ambulance!
