I guess the hibernation season’s over

Contrary to popular belief, our lives don’t completely revolve around television.  Sure, we love our stories, and it’s true our DVR was up to almost 100% capacity recently.  But that can also mean we’ve been too busy to watch TV… or, man, we sure do record a lot of TV shows!  (Answer: a little of both, and also, at least 40% of the recordings on our DVR are from Lindsey saving a chunk of this season’s “Lost” episodes and holding onto “So You Think You Can Dance” and “America’s Best Dance Crew” episodes from forever ago.)

Thankfully, summer means our favorite series are now on hiatus which is great timing because ever since we started going to the gym our evenings have become a million percent less lazy (well, four nights a week anyway.)  Our new routine means not only less time to watch TV, but also fewer home-cooked meals.  SAD FACE.)  After we get home from work we change into our workout clothes and then put in at least an hour at the gym.  Then we get Subway (we’re such regulars now that when Lindsey went alone last night because I had to take my boss home, the girl there asked where I was. Then she told Lindsey that we were a cute couple.  And pale.  Uh, thanks?) for dinner (because there’s a Subway right next to the gym, which is like the most obvious and genius location for it.) and by the time we’re done eating it’s practically time for Lindsey to get to bed.

Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend and even though we’d planned on catching up on TV we never got around to it.  We actually went out and did stuff!  Friday night we went to April’s house to celebrate Morrissey’s birthday. Saturday night we had vegan dinner at Pure Luck (and a guy at the table next to us recognized me from when I used to go dancing!) followed by tasty ice cream treats at Scoops and then dancing with Lindsey’s friend Rachel. Sunday we took it easy and slept in and then did a date-night dinner and movie (sushi and X-Men: Wolverine). Monday we went outlet mallin’, but the people there made me SO CRANKY AND HATEFUL that we had to cut it short. And then we hit the gym and before we knew it the weekend was up!

Our best shot at catching up on TV is on Sunday, because next weekend I’m going back to North Carolina for work (oh, and missing Lindsey’s birthday, which is the WORST) and then the following weekend Lindsey’s going to Jacksonville for her reunion. And then the weekend after that we’ll probably do belated birthday stuff.  Whew, I’m exhausted just thinking about all of that!

Lindsey’s busy with work but I’m sure she’ll chime in soon.  You’ll just have to take my word that things are good and that we’re both happy!

  1. oh no! on missing the birthday. i’m sure she’ll understand as long as your bosses don’t bring in any hookers after work this time.

  2. Hahahah, it’s funny ‘cos it’s true. Well, not anymore. My boss provided way more blog fodder back before he got married and had kids.

  3. I love you so much for updating the blog! Hopefully work will calm down a bit soon so I can update from work, too!
