Friday - left work early, drove to Towson to see our friends band again, partied it up backstage for the night then back to the hotel for more partying. I could never be any type of rock start that's for sure!
Saturday - up early to head home, baby shower in the afternoon, home for a very quick nap then to Bobby McKey's for our friends birthday. that was a ton of fun - there's a whole post on that. We headed home kind of early because we were so tired.
Sunday - I slept in and it was glorious. I spent some time on the couch watching tv, then we headed out to the new house and signed a couple things and then checked on the house - no progress yet, but any day now they will be laying foundation!! After that it was home to watch the USA/Canada game. I slept through most of the 2nd period and some of the 3rd. I caught the end of the 3rd and all of Overtime. After that it was just relaxing and going to bed early which was quite awesome!
Friday - snow day, did nothing alllll day
Saturday - stalked my registry, bought a cake for my Daddy's 60th bday and went to my sisters to eat cake mmmm, rented some movies, bought a boppy total body pillow to see if that will help me sleep better
Sunday - nothing but lay around until my friend lori who i haven't seen since FOREVER came over
Got a ton done!
We spent most of the weekend gettling the house ready...organizing cabinets, installing car seats, washing bottles, prepping cloth diapers, putting together the stroller. Saturday was house hunting too...(still no luck). Watched a couple horrible movies (man, we can pick out some bad ones sometimes).
On the bright side...someone bought us our crib!!!! Not sure yet who it is, but I'll be very glad to have that secured for when we finally do get a place with space. :P
Friday- went to the mall with my girlfriend
Saturday- taught dance in the morning and then had a movie night with my SIL

Sudany- Church, washed the dog, cleaned the house more, watched the Hockey game, went to Macy's and bought my first pair of skinny jeans which I totallly love, then went to Happy Hour with Jordan, then home and we watched the movie Surrogates.
Very uneventful weekend. THe first one we've had in awhile. It was nice.
friday - went and picked out our amazing mattress and paid for it with CASH! woot woot!
saturday - went to our friends' house in the mountains for lunch.. came home and kicked zach out for a few hours (with one of the coupons from his coupon book he gave me for christmas.. lol) and read and relaxed all night.. it was awesome!
sunday - went to church and then a fundraising lunch afterwards for the church, then went and bought a bed frame for our new bed, exchanged some drapes and put those up, laid on the new bed with zach for awhile.. went to dinner with our besties, and then went to their house and talked til midnight.
Friday: Had school, and then went to some friends of the family for dinner with DH and his brother.
Saturday: I studied, cleaned, and then went to work for the night. Nothing fun!
Sunday: Went to church, ran 11 miles, studied a little more, and then DH's boss' boss from Chicago came up with his wife to our house (which is why I spent my day cleaning Saturday)--we had dinner, and then went to the Jeremy Camp concert (Christian artist). It was a lot of fun!
Awwww you guys are soooooooo going to get married!
Friday-I was the bartender at a banquet to make some extra cash.
Saturday- I stayed at home all day and then we went to a couples baby shower that night.
Sunday-Just grocery shopping and lunch with my mom.
Friday - Got out of work early because of the snow so I took Lexi to the dog park and she ran around in snow taller than she is. Then dinner with BIL and SIL and our "Uncle" and "Cousin" (DH's family's BFFs)
Saturday - Took Lexi to the dog park again and then met up with some friends to see Shutter Island. Ran home to feed and walk the pup and then went to the Knicks game. They suck but DH's company has courtside seats so it's always fun to go when we can get tickets.
Sunday - Brunch with some friends as a last hurrah. One is moving to Austin next week and the other is pregnant and due in May so it's the last time we can all get together for a while. I spent the rest of the day watching the US/Canada hockey game and doing 4 loads of laundry...ugh! DH got his hair cut and brought back steaks for dinner. Yum!
Fri- My cousin and my brother came over and we all hung out having some drinks in the kitchen (which seems to always be the hangout)
Saturday - Slept in a bit, took Chaser out to breakfast and hung out around the house. Chris went to see a Pink Floyd tribute band and my cousin came over and watched Chase so I could go out to dinner with my mom and grandmother. My little brother and moms BFF crashed and had dinner with us too. I got a late night call from a friend whose grandmother is dying and they had to take a trip to Philly to see her one more time and asked if I could keep their 18 month old. So I had him over night as well which is never an issue with me. i love that kid.
Sunday - Had a nasty migraine and slept a while after the baby was picked up. My brothers both came over, 1 with a big black lab, Chase had a friend over, so the house was pretty busy along with Chris our 80lb dog and myself. I went to bed around 8:30pm and my brothers were both still over. No clue when they left, but they certianly left me a mess to clean up. If Chris knows whats good for him he cleaned it up before work this morning.
sat-he was at wrestling sections all day. so I cleaned and caught up on some DVR till he got home at like 830/9. Then we went to the local bar for drinks.
sun- his little brother's wrestling championship tournament was at one of our local highschools this year. He wanted tj to come coach him. So I slept in alittle bit then headed up there. He didn't place at all. First year he hasn't. :-( he was so upset. But I did get to get caught up with the SIL while there. I wish her due date would hurry! Then we lounged the rest of the night. Watched the hockey game (as much as it sucked to see USA lose. I'm just glad that it was cause of our star Penguins player haha). Then just watched tv.
Team Paul all the way!!!!!!!!
Fri - Flew up to Sac to meet hubs, had a nice dinner, and crashed at our hotel. Even though it was just 2 days being apart, it felt like a lifetime. I never knew that the Capital State freeway was the I-80...you learn something new everyday.
Sat - Drove up to Napa, shopped at Napa Style (Michael Chiarello's store), bought and sampled some wine, met up with Becky & Art for wine tasting. We took them to our fave place first...Art was hilarious. He loves port now! Loved the samplings of cheese, nuts, and crackers we got while we sipped wine for 1.5 hours! Rushed to the next tasting, where Menage a Trois is bottled. Bought more wine, too. Picnic'ed in the car on our way to the next winery - eating crackers, ham & cheese. Storybook Mountain Winery gave us a tour of the vineyard, and we did the wine tasting in the caves. Totally cool, bought more wine...soooo tipsy and pretty lit after that. We tried to wine taste some more...but we drank for 5 hours!!! It was pretty exhausting. Had a nice dinner and went back to the hotel.
Sun- Totally overslept, but loved all the extra cuddling with the hubby, too. Drove back to Sacramento, this time to visit the capital building. Had lunch with Alicia & Andrew, and hung out with the hubs before I had to fly back home. Had a nice flight home, chatted with my neighbors the entire time, you know me making friends wherever I am. My girlfriend picked me up and we had a small dinner and went home. Finished reading "The Lost Symbol" - last 50 pages or so and went to bed.
Between facebook status' and this, you're the 3rd person that has mentioned reading this book TODAY. Am I missing something haha.
Totally!
HAHA...it took me 3 months to read this book. I had to give back to my CW...since I had it since Thanksgiving. I'm not a slow reader, but she let me borrow it during holidays and I never had enough time to read it.
The book is great...but I love all the Dan Brown books.

Saturday I dropped Daniel off at the airport and then met up with my friend for sushi and a walk around Old Town Alexandria. Met the sweetest kitties at this adoption event and I'm going to go back sometime this month. I want kitties.. really, really bad.
