Another great one

I had another great weekend :) In fact, it was downright fantastic.

I went to Pittsburgh to get away for the weekend and truly enjoy myself. And that I did. Saturday after work I hit the road. About 30 minutes from my destination the stupid cop pulled me over. 80 in a 65. Oops. So that's a wasted $147. But I was due. From the time I've been 18 I've gotten a ticket every two years. My first was my accident then a speeding ticket ever 2 years after that. I haven't gotten one for 3 years, so I was certainly due. I'm just doing my part to stimulate the economy and keep people in a job, I guess.

Once I got where I was going I unloaded my car and we headed of to Mt. Washington for dinner. Holy gorgeous view of the city. Pittsburgh is really pretty all lit up at night. We at at Le Mont and it was absolutely delicious! As we were finishing up our wine and just sitting there talking, the guy at the table next to us proposed! I love love :) They were quite cute. The whole restaurant was turned around watching them. Adorable! After dinner we walked down to one of the overlooks but didn't stay there long cause it was freakin cold! Then we headed downtown (I have no idea what section because I saw a lot of PGH this weekend) and went to a hibachi style restaurant with a pretty busy bar. We had a few drinks, watched some basketball and then headed back home.

Sunday was spent very lazily. Rick cooked breakfast and then I plopped my happy little ass on the couch for a few hours to watch some movies and hockey. When I decided to quit being so lazy I got up and showered and then we headed down to his favorite local bar. I laughed so hard. There were only 8 of us there total but they cracked me up, I laughed the entire time we were there. Then we headed out to the Waterfront and killed some time at Dave & Busters winning over 1,000 tickets. haha! And had an amazingly full dinner of some great sushi followed by some serious laughs at the comedy club.

Monday was my perfect day because I spent it shopping! haha! It was my first time in an Ikea store and I swear I had an orgasm as I walked through the front doors. It was 2+ hours of my life that was spent in complete and total bliss. It appeals to every single one of my OCD/interior designer qualities. Everything is so beautiful organized and put together in wonderfully colorful displays. And I managed to walk out only spending about $75. I got a great new comforter and duvet cover for my new apartment :) After a full day of shopping I headed back through the hills for dinner with Rick and his girls. Who, by the way, are freakin adorable and hilarious. Gabby is an ornery little twirp and Victoria only antagonizes her. They crack me up.

I'm quite tired today after a full weekend an a 2+ hour drive back to Canton. But it was all completely worth it. I had a blast and met some new people. And Pittsburgh is actually a really great time. That was my first time being there that I can actually remember. I know when I was little we went to the zoo, but I'm pretty sure I was only about 4, maybe.

And on the apartment front - I'm going to see one tomorrow morning. It's in North Canton and the location would be so much more ideal that the one in Massillon I found. I really like the Massillon one, but this one is offering a 3-month move-in special and it's much closer to work, family and friends. I'm just ready to get this show on the road. No matter what road it is. haha!
