weekend thang

i just spent a whole weekend at an engaged encounter, ya know, for engaged couples. we got to work on our relationship, preparing ourselves mind, body, and soul (just the way they said it!) for our marriage. we were in the middle of nowhere (well, somewhere, but anywhere outside the 5 boroughs is a nowhere... don't i sound quite snobbish here?). anyways, it was good, we got to relax, no tv, no internet (gasp!), no distractions. we had to sleep in separate rooms (lucky for me my roomate never showed up so i enjoyed it. unlucky for him his roomate apparently snored like a hippo attacking alligators -- watch discovery channel-- so he didn't get much sleep at all).

the good thing about the weekend was that there were only couples. the bad thing about the weekend was that there were only couples. it was good in a way that you'll always find even-numbered seats. it was bad because if he was late for something, i had to sit by myself and it was very obvious i was alone. it was bad because we had to do everything together (except sleeping and showering, which was too bad). i guess doing everything together was a good thing too. it was nice, i didn't say it wasn't. it's just i had some awkward moments.

anyways, back to work today and my kids were as insane as ever. i think they need to do a weekend away or something, and never come back - now that will make my life a lot easier!
