Weekend update

Last Friday, my husband and I drove to Monroe, MI to do a little shopping. We stopped at this outlet mall that was terrible. It looked like a ghost town. I asked him why we were here and he said that their website said it had many stores. Apparently the mall needs to update their site. We only went into two stores - Gap and one that sold a variety of junk. (Junk being the key word.) If Gap wasn't a store at the outlet mall, I don't think there would be any shoppers there.

After leaving the outlet mall, we drove to Monroe's other mall. It was so different from the first place we were at, people were actually shopping! While in Target, my husband pointed out a woman for me to look at. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A woman was shopping while wearing curlers in her hair. Hello, take them out before leaving the house.

When we finished with the second mall, we hopped on I-75 and drove south to Toledo, Ohio. We stopped at Best Buy, Franklin Park Mall, Bed Bath & Beyond and Olive Garden. I bought a couple of books at the mall and we also bought wedding gifts for some friends at BB&B.

Saturday night, my husband and I stayed home and had a nice dinner. During dinner we watched Hollywoodland. I liked how the movie presented a couple different scenarios for George's Reeves death/suicide. I don't think Reeves committed suicide, but the police did and quickly closed the case.

After my 5 mile run on Sunday, I did something that needed to be done for a while. My husband and I cleaned our backyard. We raked up three months of doggy poo and filled three giant bags, gross. I can't image how much more we would have raked up if we had more dogs.

Finally, it was nice to see Dale Earnhardt, Jr. have a good run at Bristol Motor Speedway. Junior finished seventh and moved up nine spots and is currently 17th in the Nextel Cup standings.
