A Nice Long Weekend

Even though it is Monday night, it is officially the end of my long weekend. I took a 4 day mental health, stress-relieving long weekend from last Friday through, today, Monday. Friday was a nice relaxing day. I slept in and then headed for a nice work-out at the gym. After coming home and cleaning up, I headed over to the clinic (yes, on my day off) to get a massage. This was my first massage from Claudia and was our Christmas gift from the clinic. It was a good massage, but I was so sore in multiple places for a couple days after the fact. After that, I went to a matinee of 27 Dresses with Katherine Heigl. A very sweet, cute film that even surprised me, who was just looking for a light chick flick. Friday evening, we headed out to eat at Chipotle, which is always good and took a trip to Trader Joe's.
Saturday morning, we packed up and headed down to La Jolla and the University Town Center, where they had the "Bodies" exhibition on. It was a really neat exhibition, but pretty basic if you had any anatomy training at all. It was nice to explore the organs and so on, as that is really NOT my specialty. I recommend taking this in, if you ever get the chance. http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com After the exhibition, we walked around the mall area and went to Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Restoration Hardware for fun and a different change of pace. We then checked into our hotel in Old Town San Diego and explored the area. We had supper there (Mexican, of course) and headed back to the hotel, where we watched the return from the SC primary.
Sunday we were going to spend some more time down at the ocean, but unfortunately, it was raining, so we just decided to head home. After returning home, we went grocery shopping and checked out the pets at Pets Mart. We saw a beautiful 8 month old golden retriever, but unfortunately, we just do not have the room for him right now. Too bad.
Today our big task was to look at some houses in the neighborhood with our realtor. We went through 6 homes and saw some definite NOs and a lot of maybes. We saw one home that required no work and is move in ready, but it has a pool. We're not sure if we want to deal with the expense of that at this time. But, we'll see. A lot of the maybes we may take a second look at as we mull it over.
Tomorrow, I head back to work for another short week, which is always nice. We've had a rainy week and looks like we will have another semi-rainy one ahead. It still is a nice time to be here, as everything is so green and there is a lot of snow on the mountains.
