Weekend plans

I am really looking forward to this weekend. I actually have plans with my husband. It seemed like the last couple of weekends that my husband had off from work, we didn't do anything. This weekend we are.

My weekend starts off with a 5K run at my Alma mater. It is Homecoming weekend at the college and the 5K is the only event I go back for. The 5K is fun and many of the cross country and track alumni come back and run.

Later that day, my husband and I are traveling to Dundee, Michigan to make three stops. We are stopping at Cabela's, Silver Bells (a Christmas store) and Beef Jerky Unlimited. My husband likes jerky and wants to see what selection they have to offer. After visiting the three locations in Dundee, we are heading down to Toledo, Ohio.

Besides going to the Westfield Franklin Park Mall, we are stopping by the movie theaters first to see Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. My husband and I both liked Wall Street (1987) and we wanted to see what will happen to Michael Douglas' character Gordon Gekko. Gekko was my favorite character in Wall Street.

After the movie, we will enjoy the mall at Westfield Franklin Park and maybe I'll buy a book or some clothes. I haven't decided yet. Where we will be dining later that night, it is still up in the air. As you know I have been losing weight and my husband is on a special diet. I'll let him decide what he would like to eat. Usually I pick the restaurant when we are visiting Toledo.

My weekend doesn't end on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, I signed up for another 5K. This is the first time I'll be doing 5Ks back-to-back. I thought it would be alright since the races are just 3.1 miles. It will be like a training run for me.

So those are my big plans for the weekend: two 5Ks, a movie, shopping and dinner with my husband. I'd say that sounds pretty good and I'm really looking forward to it.
