Almost a Perfect Saturday

Sunday, January 22/17

I had almost a perfect Saturday yesterday.

Started off with taking Moki for a walk, getting my haircut, a quick breakfast, and watching my son score the game winner in his soccer teams game.

After his game I hit WalMart for some new jeans and boxer briefs (Too much info? too bad, it's my blog lol) and than Loblaws for a grocery run.

Once home I did another quick Spackle job on the bathroom in anticipation of painting it on Sunday, had a nap, and than headed over to my daughters place to visit with her, Lee, and my grandson.

Okay, we all know seeing my grandson alone would have made it almost perfect but there was more.

Lee has been studying for his real estate exam and offered to stay home with Baby Jack so my daughter and I could go to Ikea and grab an early dinner. This gave him some solo one on one time with his son and let him avoid Ikea as he absolutely hates the place, loves the products but hates to go into the store.

My daughter and I wandered around Ikea and found a few things we each needed before heading over to The Big Rig for a nice meal.  I've been craving wings and added a cold half pint of "Gold" to make a great combination, she had the fish and chips with a small 5 oz glass of the "Gold" as well. We talked and laughed about a wide variety of topics and had a great time.

Once back at her place I got to spend some more time holding my awesome grandson and pretty much left feeling on top of the world.

Life can get hectic but just thinking about that little guy puts a smile on my face and eases away all the stress.

My daughter know this and has taken to sending me a new picture of him every day - think she knows her father pretty damn well.

So why am I saying it's "Almost a perfect Saturday?"

Well I've got to be honest and admit that coming home to an empty house was sort of a bummer. It would have been nice to either share these with someone in person or have the "one" to call and talk about my amazing day, making plans to do it with her very soon.

But I'm not going to get all down about it....can't as I'm sure Jack wouldn't be happy if he learned his grandpa was feeling sad.......he does know his grandpa pretty well :-)

Today has been doing the touch up painting on the repaired spots on the wall in the bathroom and now I'm getting ready to watch the Packers and Falcons play for the right to go onto the Super Bowl.

Go Packers!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Marcus and while life isn't perfect it's far from being all that bad so I'll take what life brings me :)
