This weekend brought more relaxation. Saturday was Cameron’s fantasy football draft day so he headed out early to go play a round of golf at Turkey Creek with some of his opponents before the official draft. From what he has told me, he’s happy with his team, but we’ll see as the season gets closer. His teams are often plagued with injuries and one player is already out for a week or two with a sprained shoulder!
I, on the other hand, slept in a little before heading to Mellow Me Out for a wonderful massage. Christina and Kim met me there, where they got different treatments. The massage was definitely in order. From all the moving, and removing thanks to all the great wedding gifts, I developed quite a pain in my right shoulder – so bad that the week before the wedding I couldn’t lift a glass of champagne to my lips! The masseuse really worked on that shoulder and my lower back, but my favorite part had to be when she massaged my hair – 5 wonderful minutes of her just running her fingers through my hair. It did leave my hair a little greasy. Both Kim and Christina commented on how relaxed I looked when I emerged from the dark. We went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch after our lovely treatments.
From there I picked up Mel and headed up to Chico. This was not a planned trip until Friday when I found out my wedding band was ready and I could finally get my engagement ring back. The wedding band is so beautiful, much more than I had expected. Pictures definitely don’t do it justice, so you’ll just have to see it in person. After my mom and I picked up my ring, Mom, Dad and I went to Sin of Cortez for dinner. They only recently started serving dinner. Too bad they haven’t all along – it was fantastic. But the dessert was the best – banana cooked in sugars and rum and served with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
I drove back to Elk Grove that night so I could wake up at home on Sunday, as my plan was to focus the day on cleaning up the house. And that’s pretty much all I did Sunday. It was a success, as except for a little more cleaning and vacuuming in the TV room, and a few more dishes to wash, we have a livable downstairs. We now, however, have 6 large trash bags full of recyclable items.

We aren’t sure how we will ever get caught up with recyclables, as our recycle bin is small and only gets picked up every other week. We’ll try though. Wedding Gifts are for the most part accounted for, almost put away and almost all the thank you notes are written. I just need to buy the stamps and mail them out. The last few will have to wait for when more envelopes arrive, which are on order as we speak. I’ll probably finish the last of the downstairs stuff this week and focus on upstairs next weekend, but luckily upstairs isn’t as bad as downstairs was – we had little paths to walk through all the boxes!
Cameron took me out to Sushi for dinner last night. We tried a place called Mikuni, one that Sara had mentioned to us after her mom read a good review. It is a chain special to Sacramento and Northern California. It was pretty good, not as good as our place in Fremont, but somewhere we’d go again and much better than our first experience with Crazy Sushi.
And that was our/my weekend.
Love Always,
Sarah
