My weekend. The short version.

Home bound from busy week at work. It’s freezing. Dinner with wife’s family. Yes! Its chiles rellenos. Everyone talking in the table. There is one last chile relleno left. Man I want that chile relleno so bad. I don’t want to look like a fatty but it’s just staring at me. I laugh when everyone else is talking but I am just having a moment with that chile relleno. I didn’t eat it. I was upset with myself. Went home. Its freezing. Talked about taxes and moving options with my wife. I still wish I would have eaten that chile relleno. Got home. Clean Frida’s mess. Laura gets mad. We argue about Frida’s bad habits. Watch part of In the Nick of Time. Not as good as I remembered. Went to bed. Yes! I am sleeping in tomorrow, after all its Saturday.

7:00 AM, Luca and Azul are wide awake. “Dad wake up, I want some cookies” wake up at 7:10. No sleeping in after all. It’s full on snow fest outside.  Call the tax preparers. Make an appointment. Looking for my 2012 tax files. Can’t find them. Eat cereal for breakfast. I am so glad I am eating cereal now. Thank god for almond milk.  “Hey Laura, why didn’t you offered me that last chile relleno?” Laura: why didn’t you just grave it” we argued about the approach on that last chile relleno situation. Looking for the 2012 tax returns. Can’t find them.  Stressed out about the 2012 returns and that chile relleno that escaped from me. Forget the taxes, its ok. Go see the apartment we might move in. No one is thrilled. Convenience, doggy park, pool, close to work, shopping, The Fleur Cinema. And a good Mexican restaurant. I love their chiles rellenos. Dog friendly. Awesome customer service. Left the apartments. Eat Vietnamese food. Best coffee Ive ever had. Babies are being so good. I am so proud of my kids. They are like big little people.

Home now, still snowing. Play with the kids. Nap time.  Luca: “but I don’t want to take a nap”. YouTube. Lullabies. Out. Danced out showing off my knocking kids out skills to Laura. Talked about our future. Our need to free our spirits. Relaxation. Watched two episodes of The Carrie Diaries (its good) I have better style than Laura. We argue about who has better style, and what style means. Laura is painting something. It looks very relaxing. Ely shows up. I have to go. out of town with Kenji. Kenji rents a car. We are amazed at the technology on the car. We are like little kids. Told Kenji about my tragic chile relleno story. He sympathizes with me.  We discuss anything and everything. Technology, quantum computers and the future for human race, mortality, anti-aging, meditation, low information diets, social media.  Disgusting jokes. We think we’re smart. We get lost. Had some drinks. Bad idea. Shoot! We have to drive back. Drove back. Home. Yes, I am home.  I am sleeping in tomorrow. Its Sunday anyways.

8:00 AM I can feel either Luca or Azul’s stone cold feet on my back. They leave, 10:00 AM woke up. Slight head ache. Laura: “they are selling this at Target?” some collection. I said let’s go! No. got a Kirby Vacuum presentation by Ely instead. Amazing vacuums. We need to buy one. Our house is dirty as hell. We can’t afford one. Not now. 3 hours later. We are starving. Kenji shows up. Let’s go eat. Mexican restaurant. As I read the menu I had a heart to heart decision to make.  Burrito Chipotle it is.  Went back home. Argued with Laura about why we didn’t make it to target and how we can still make it happen. Got all dressed up. Father and daughter dance at the Val Air Ballroom. Picking up Bella. Pacing back and for with my bow tie. Waiting for my little girl. She comes out. She is beautiful. Picture time. Laura drops us off. Realized there was an unnecessary argument about target because she is headed there now. Father and daughter dance. So glad. I love my girl. Meat balls and French bread. YES! Punch. Kenji is the DJ. Picture. Picture of Bella eating a meat ball. Selfie. Picture dancing. Bella:”REALLY?” put the phone down. Danced the night away with my princess. It was magical. Got home. Night robe. Watched; As Good as it Gets. Last thought. I am full but I feel hungry. That last chile relleno would have been good. Good weekend. 

Amner.
