Here Comes Santa...Weekend Recap

Our Friday started with the Mr biting the bullet and getting a new ride. 

He got the Santa Fe Sport at the price he wanted, and I wasn't involved, so we were both happy campers!  We spent the weekend trying to air out that cancery "new car smell" everyone seems to love so much but gives me an instant headache and makes me dizzy if I'm in it longer than 15 minutes.  It got a good amount of it out but needless to say, we'll be driving with the windows down when the weather allows to get the rest of it out.

Saturday was celebration day.  We decided to take the car for a 2 hour road trip and were very happy to see the gas mileage was more than quoted.  Who knows if it'll stay that way, but I hope so.  Drive off the lot with 40 miles, by the next evening it's got 300.  Break 'er in.  We had a celebratory dinner at one of our favorite restaurants and got home right before a freak hailstorm hit.  We actually moved our reservation up so if we'd gone at the original time, the car would've been in the parking lot getting hailed on with the Mr trying to use his body to deflect damage.  We ordered some purties for it like Weathertech mats and seat covers since the paddling equipment can leave a mess for the stuff that has to go in the back seat.  Of course, there's this one horrible faux wood grain piece on the passenger side that is blinding in the sun so we have to get this vinyl crap to cover it up.  It's always something. 

Sunday, we got in an early workout which I think is going to be our new habit.  Sunday is almost always brunch day, so we'll have to earn it.  That one had us dripping with sweat, and we put in a good stretch session afterward to hopefully leave me able to get in my walk this morning.  We had brunch then went to see Grandma.  We put a more permanent weight on her flag, so it doesn't flap in the wind then got a few things at the Container Store and looked at Whole Foods for those vegan brats.  No go, so off to the regular grocery store for produce refuel, and they happened to have the faux brats!  So we got those, and when we got home, we saw the stupid bagging twit sat the watermelon on top of them and squashed them flat.  I had to reshape them, so the Mr didn't have to worry about going back.  Seriously, WHY can teenagers not bag properly!?  Then you want to bag stuff yourself, and they get all wounded, and it's like "you squash my bread, thawed brats and anything else soft that we've purposely saved until the end so tuck your lower lip back in, ninny!"  Then it was home and so glad we didn't still have a workout to do!  So I made dinner of organic, grass-fed beef burgers that were massaged with lemongrass essential oil after their long day in a pasture made of unicorn grass and baked oven fries.  Then we watched a few more episodes of American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story on Amazon and before we knew it, the night was over and here we are.

What did you guys do this weekend?
