5 Snipets from our Weekend

1. No trip to Bend = A weekend at home (blogged about here) = A happy husband!
Now, I am pretty sure Sam would have enjoyed having the weekend to himself, but a little part of me believes he was very happy to have me home to keep him company.

2. In an effort to save money (& because our promo with Comcast ended) , we decided to opt for basic cable instead of a-lot-of-channels-we-don't-watch & our beloved DVR. The DVR has been a lifesaver for us on Sunday, Monday, & Thursday nights (yes, we loves our television shows) , but the cost of cable is pretty ridiculous. So no more DVR for us. =(

********************
3. Related to #2 - we had to return our cable & DVR box for a regular HD box and in doing so, we magically recieved channels we never got before! For example: Bravo, Starz, & HBO. We contacted Comcast and they said our change to basic cable would be in effect on April 1st, so we had a nice weekend full of awesome movies for free! I promise we aren't trying to steal cable.

4. In an effort to not starve, Sam and I went grocery shopping this weekend. With a planned stop at Costco for a list of 3 things (costing under $20 max) , we came out with a lot more (almost $130 worth of more) . We got a lot of useful items, but I hope it lasts us more than a week (crossing my fingers it will last 3) .

5. The rain fell on Saturday (ALL DAY) , but on Sunday we had sunny skies! Sam took advantage of it and planted some flower seeds & brought out our patio furniture. I can't wait for the summer nights we can all (dogs included) hang out in our beautiful backyard again.
