Even with the discouraging weigh in on Friday, I gourged myself with a chinese buffet, various fried deliciousness', ice cream, and even fast food this weekend. I did however, continue to workout at Curves twice over the holiday and walked what felt like 10 miles.
This weekend marks Kevin and I's second wedding anniversary. It is in fact our sixth year anniversary of being together. Since we got married over Labor Day weekend, we decided to make it a very long weekend and both took Tuesday off in addition to the holiday. The weekend started off with Kevin and Lee going to see "Tropic Thunder" while Bethany, Ellie, Taylor, and I went to Santa Caligon Days. This is the first of many afternoons on my feet. I had not gone to SCD since I was a child and did not know the fair consisted of numerous city blocks. Bethany and I both purchased "Vote Obama" pins; mine states "Give Peace a Chance: Vote Obama" with a large peace sign encircling the pin. Since I am a self-proclaimed "Damn Dirty Hippie" this fit very well with my peace symbol on my shirt and my peace sign pendant. I promptly added it to my purse so everyone could see that I am anti-war from every angle. I was surprised to see four different democratic/Obama booths set up throughout the fair and only one or two booths for republicans. In addition to the beautiful pin, I began my holiday shopping. I purchased gifts for my stepmother, my sister, and my aunt and uncle.
As for Sunday, we did not have any plans. Kevin and I decided to visit a local museum. However, the GPS steered us to what looked like a abandoned house in a subdivision in Shawnee. Wishing that we had knocked on the door, we departed for a real museum, the Kemper Museum of Modern Art. This museum is quite small and we were only inside for about 20 minutes. Kevin is not a huge fan of modern art and some of it, I do not get either. After that we drove to the Plaza and walked around for awhile. It was a nice laid back afternoon.
