holytoastrI need a weekend from my weekend. My mother in law came to visit so it was very very busy.
She arrived Friday night, so we took her out to a local german restaurant. They had live music, which was a bit overwhelming for me. Accordions! And spoons!
The next day, we took her out to the museum of american history. The hardest part was getting her through the fare gates on the metro. The gates didn't open because my old cards were bad, but she tried to force them open. It does not work that way. Once I found my spare smartrip card, it went smoothly.
I was mildly stressed because ben's mom didn't have any preferences on what we did or saw. I was a bit relieved when we left early.
For a late lunch, we went to a restaurant that served authentic mexican food. Which meant gross stuff like grasshoppers and tongue. I had refried beans. They were surprisingly bland. But everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals. (Ben had the grasshopper tacos.)
Sunday was miserably rainy so there wasn't anywhere fun for us to go. I was getting stir crazy though, so we took a trip to the comic book store. It was pouring super hard. I could barely see. In fact, if it had rained any harder, I would have had to pull over.
But we made it! And I got comics! A new issue of d&d, fables, and jericho. The issue of fables was a bit boring because they are just setting up the new story arc but I look forward to where it is going. Their latest plan to defeat mister dark is to form a superhero team. I approve of them using modern mythology to increase their belief magic powers.
In the evening, we went out to the diner. Ben ordered far too much food. Then we returned home and watched the 1992 version of Lost World. It was terrible. Not enough dinosaurs.
And now it's Monday again! I need sleep and rest. I wish I could take a nap at my desk.
