We’ve had an awesome weekend. Saturday morning started early. We dropped Thor off at the pet spa, bought coffee on the way home and had a nice morning just the two of us. After three hours, we went to get T. We weren’t very clear on what we wanted when we dropped him off, part because T was freaking out and we couldn’t hear each other, but we showed her a picture from his last haircut and then asked her for longer hair in the face. On the picture he has about an inch long hair but it’s hard to see so he actually kinda ended up shaved. He got a super cute fluffy tail and a fluffy face, so now he looks like a lion:) He looks a little weird, but I don’t mind. He has a sweater that he normally doesn’t fit in when he’s fluffy that now is perfect for him. He’s so cute. The spa lady was very professional too and really wanted to make sure we were happy. We will go back there, I liked it.
Right after haircut, we drove to a beach. Super windy! This was the first time Thor went to a beach and met sand. He wasn’t actually allowed on the sand, but since the season hasn’t started yet we thought we could just quickly introduce the sand to him. I hope we can find a beach where dogs are allowed, at least in the morning, so that Thor can really enjoy it. His short haircut is perfect for it too.
In the afternoon, Jim and I walked down to the city center for food. We have been wanting to try a place, Lucky’s, since we first saw it the first time we were in Stamford. This place is what I pictured restaurants looked like before I came to America. I put ¢5 in the jukebox and picked a song but it never played, maybe it didn’t work, but it was still fun. The burgers were awesome. I chose gluten free bun and salad with my bacon cheese burger. Suddenly Jim pointed at a kids meal that they were carrying out. Mac and cheese served in a paper Buick. I got so jealous. That looked so cool! Of course, when our waiter came, J asked if I could have one. We were waiting for fried pickles and when they were done they got served in a car. I was like a little kid, excited and couldn’t stop laughing about how awesome this was. I sent pictures to my dad cause I know he will love this pace and I’m sure he would want a car too:)
With my paper car in a bag (yes, I saved it of course) we walked over to the mall. The only time I’ve been to Stamford before we went here to look at apartments, I went to this mall (in 2011). It’s huge. We only checked out parts of two floors out of 7. Somehow I ended up buying two puzzles and a coloring book. I really was a kid that day, haha. Back home, I just couldn’t wait to begin to puzzle. 1000 pieces. Eventually I stopped and we watched a movie before we went to bed. On Sunday morning I got up, all excited, made coffee and went back to puzzle while J did our taxes. Our Sunday afternoon wasn’t too exciting. We went grocery shopping, took T for a long walk around the city, watched baseball, I colored in my new coloring book, continued my puzzle and we ate dinner at our bar for the first time. Our new chairs came on Friday so now we can enjoy dinners for real and not eat at the coffee table.
Right now I’m waiting for the maintenance guy to show up. The outlet on our terrace seemed to be switched off or something so he’s gonna come and take a look. We still haven’t found any patio furniture but we bought lights that we wanted to put up out there. I’m really looking forward to summer!
