The fun and not so fun

My husband asked us to schedule a day to meet him downtown to have lunch. Today seemed like a good day since the boys were in camp until 11 am and I was not going to be in workout clothes all morning (as is the case most days). As he was saying goodbye this morning, he asks me if I was bringing lunch. I am pretty sure he invited us to lunch. Wouldn't that mean he would either take us out or he would make it?

We went to this really neat deli place known for their tea. It was delicious.

The older boys are in Golf Camp Monday through Wednesday this week. So far they have been happy with all of the camps they have attended this summer.

This past weekend, we went out with some neighbors. One of our friends is celebrating her 40th birthday in August. She planned her own party, a beach get-away towards the end of August. Many people are not going to be able to make it to the beach, so my neighbor forced (strong word but this is my opinion) birthday girl's husband into a smaller celebration with a few neighbors. They actually gave him the option of doing a party in their backyard, they would do all the work if he funded it. That idea was nixed. The outing was planned for this past Saturday and we literally did not know what we were doing until Friday evening. An even then the plan was not solid.

So we headed downtown and were lucky enough to be seated at one of my favorite restaurants. It was a slow dinner but it was delicious. We then headed over to the Pier to hear the Beach Boys. It turned out to be a lot of fun. John Stamos plays the drums at some of their concerts. Cutey! We got as close as we could to get a good look, he is shorter than I expected.....but still nice to look at.

My car started acting up this weekend while my husband was driving it. We have been talking about replacing my car as we have sunk a lot of money into it. It is almost 9 years old but I love it and I will have a hard time parting with it. If you haven't figured it out, this falls into the not so fun category. We had it towed and found out that the cylinders were not working correctly. $$$$ ugh! We are still trying to figure out what to do about a new car.

We wouldn't be so concerned if we weren't just about to leave on vacation for 2 weeks. Yes, that is right the beach followed by some time at my parent's house in Florida. Two weeks is a long time for me to be away.

I have so much to do between now and the weekend. My friend, who is in town because of her brother being hospitalized, is coming over tomorrow to spend some time with us. Good in that now I really have to get my house cleaned up. No worries I have spent a good part of the afternoon cleaning.

As I was cleaning, Jay looks at me and say "Mom, why are you cleaning?" My response, "you really just asked me that?" It is like I never clean around here.
