Putt-Putt Paradise

So for Ben's bday he wanted to play putt-putt. I told my sister that and she put her hand in the shape of an "L" to her forehead. My sister got me sick, the sickness really started on Ben's bday last Thursday. Since then I've felt like shit and haven't gotten any better. It's just a bad cold, but gross, I walk around with a box of kleenex. So I was going to cook for him but was too ill on the actual day. I left him 3 presents waiting at his house for him when he got home on the day and the 2 days before. He asked if it was his birthday or the 12 days of Hannakah. Haha. I love suprises, that was where my thinking came in.
So to celebrate the continued celebration on Saturday he dragged me to a miniature golf course in Monroe with my kleenex dragging along! I haven't played putt-putt since I was young. We played 18 holes, it was a great time. I got 2 holes in one! I was doing fantastically better than him for most of the game until I got all overconfidant and said, "I think I've found my hidden talent!". Immediately afterward my game went str8 down and I added like 5 strokes every time I got close to the hole. I also eventually shot my ball into the little river/falls on the course. Haha, I was sure he would be the one to do that, he shot his ball off the course several times. Ben won by like 3 strokes. Then we went to the mall and he let me pick out some clothes for him! Woo-hoo. This is the boy who swore he'd never come to the mall with me. I made him try on this punk-rock kinda shirt that looked awesome but was obviously so-not-his-style and he was going to get it for my sake but it was too pricey. So instead charcoal pants, a bright blue button up shirt, and a tan shirt with almost nonexistent stripes. I love clothes a lot these days. I don't know what clicked in me.
The night ended with dinner at the Olive Garden. I had a glass of white wine, I love italian food. It was delicious and I had some minestrone which helped my throat. MMMMMMMMM! I LOVE ITALIAN! Great night, great weekend, great boy. I love celebrating bdays! For mine my nerdy activity has to be a bunch of board games and card games and video games! That's my idea of a slice of heaven!
