Weekend Update

Friday afternoon, I drove to Hickory to eat lunch with Brent. He gave me a quick tour of the LR campus before we hit Panera. That was the extent of the visit. I was there about an hour (I had planned to leave Charlotte earlier..but the morning got away from me). It was short, but definitely sweet. I don't want to jinx myself, but I think there might be some potential with this one.

While I was gone, I think Bella figured out where I was and acted out her jealousy. She pulled my cushion off the keyboard and ripped off the 8 covered buttons (it was a tufted cushion from Anthropologie). I was okay with that..but while I was cleaning (my sister was coming!), I turned around to find she had gnawed on one of my dining chairs. To say she was lucky to already be in her crate, is an understatement because that is most certainly where she would have been..with no toys! It was decided that whenever I went to see Brent, she'd be with me or in her crate.

My sister came into town that night. We got Chinese and watched...? I don't remember. We were both pretty tired and conked out around midnight. Saturday, we went to the Mint Museum to see the Warhol and Couture exhibitions; dinner with Leah at Bourdeaux's in NoDa and then to a theatre on Park to see Slumdog Millionaire. That's the first movie I've gone to see in over a year. But it was a good pick. It was definitely a dramatic comedy..I'd highly recommend it. Paige left about 1:30 on Sunday.

For the rest of my Sunday, I drove back to Hickory because it was their season opener double-header. We didn't get up there til just after the second game began. I took B and she loved it...although she would've loved it more if I'd have let her off her leash. ;) We waited for Brent after the game and then went back to his house to drop off B before going to dinner. I left around 9:45. I woke up to the remains of the baseball Brent had given Bella. While I was sleeping, she was dismantling the ball on the bed, on the floor, under the bed.... ;)

All in all, a pretty great weekend. Hope everyone had a great one too.
