How was your weekend?
Good morning ladies!! Did everyone get enough R&R?
I didn't. 
Fri night; picked up our friend and his gf in Carroll Gardens and then drove to NH to stay the night at the ILs on our way to a wedding in Maine. It took us a while to get out of Brooklyn, and we stopped for dinner, and it *poured* *twice* on the drive, so we didn't get in to NH till about 2am.
Sat; woke up kinda early due to BIL and his kids visiting as well and when they wake up they aren't quiet. Hung out with the ILs, had breakfast, then left around 11:30am to continue the 2hr drive to ME. It went fast and we found the hotel okay but then we find out that the bride/our friend texted our 2 other friends saying she wanted people there half an hour early. WTF?!
DH and i thought we'd have time to nap and shower and get ready! So instead we try to close our eyes while it seems like all the rooms around us are slamming their doors. 
We get a little turned around on our way to the wedding (PS. ME doesn't believe in street signs, and if they do, they're not big enough to read until you're passing them and realize that you just missed your street). DH got a little intense about it, which i hate. We get there fine and the wedding is running 15mins late anyways! (it was all at her aunt's house) I don't want to complain too much 
but it was hot, there were bugs everywhere, we were exhausted, DH snapped at me while we were dancing, we were trying to leave after a few hours cuz we were getting eaten alive by mosquitoes but DH wanted to chat with the bride and say bye but she was all over the place... We get back to the hotel and we head to our friend's room for a nightcap with our other friends.
Sun; i set our alarm for 8am cuz our friend's gf has to get back to the city around 5pm (which we didn't find out till the day before) for some filming project she was doing. So we wake up, get ready, call our friend only to find out that said gf wasn't even awake yet!! Grr!! We finally make plans to meet downstairs for breakfast so DH and i pack up our stuff cuz we think we're going to check out, go have breakfast and then hit the road. We get down to the lobby and our friends didn't have their stuff with them!! They were like 'oh, we thought we were going to come back to check out!'. Ugh. I'm extremely frustrated and tired and i'm venting to DH/asking questions and he snaps at me. So it takes all of my might to not start crying. Breakfast is fine, we head back and check out and then we're on the road. The trip itself was fun! Lots of conversation and laughs and pit stops. I should have just gone with the flow and taken my cue from her (the gf) in that she wasn't *that* worried about getting back on time. But still...this should have all been planned better. I thought it was going to be a bit more relaxing than it all was, so i'm disappointed in the weekend.
We get to the city, drop her off at Columbia Univ, head in to BK and drop off our friend, then get home about 7:30pm. We watch Nip/Tuck from Netflix while relaxing with a beer and go to bed. I finally decide to broach the subject of DH's intensity this weekend and his snapping at me, so we have a good chat about how frustrated we both were and what we can do better in those kinds of situations. 
Needless to say, i'm tired today.
Re: How was your weekend?
I'm tired too! I was in California this weekend! We left Wednesday night, spent the day in San Jose with DH's family on Thursday, flew down to LA Friday morning, went to our friend's rehearsal and dinner on Friday night, went to the wedding on Saturday, and flew home bright and early Sunday morning. And, I had the worst hangover of my life on Sunday - flying cross country with a hangover sucks, let me tell you.
I'm glad to be home!
Weekend so far has been nice (DH is off Mondays so I am considering today part of the weekend). We had a great day yesterday playing outside. I am a bit sore as a result. See my Randall's Island post below.
Today we do laundry, paint, and go play outside some more when we are done with our chores. I also need to finish planning my trip for later this week. And my other two trips in a couple of weeks. Ah, so last minute. I hope it all comes together.
too short (especially after a four day weekend with my bff last weekend) but still good
friday: DH & i put together the table & stool set that had been sitting in a box for almost two weeks
saturday: slept in, did a few chores then went to see harry potter 6. we saw tim gunn on our way there! did a little shopping and had vietnamese in union square before heading home for what turned into an almost TWO HOUR ride back to fo hi (thanks MTA!)
sunday: stayed in fo hi to do laundry, errands, etc... took a short walk around the neighborhood and started trying to nail down an itinerary for our upcoming vaca
?
You saw Tim Gunn! So jealous.
Sun-all day playing outside with DD, kiddie pool/sprinkler fun. Harvested my potatoes-wow, great crop and can't wait to eat them! relaxed and had a happy day!
