Manic Monday?!
Good Morning! Let's hear a weekend update? I was doing the usual pack/church/kid thing mixed in with a dinner date 
Can someone please come sift through my junk for me--we've moved a lot of the big furniture but all the little random stuff is not playing nicely. My goal is to completely finish a room today.
Re: Manic Monday?!
Saturday - Baked monkey bread and biscotti, watched a lot of The Office on Netflix, followed by my little brother and sister's pre-prom party.
Sunday - Business Ethics homework for 2.5 hours, followed by grocery shopping, and then Small Business Management homework for the rest of the evening.
Didn't get a chance to make my tamales
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
I HATE packing so much. I always think I'll need everything so I can't pack it until the last minute. haha
My weekend was ok, pretty uneventful.
Friday night I did a little grocery shopping and bought Avatar so we watched that. LOVE that movie.
Saturday, DH worked, I ran some errands and then we just hung out at home. Oh and we looked at 3 old houses----DUDS! UGH
Sunday, we went house hunting again. 1 was really nice...a total flip but WAY too small for us. I would have loved to take that house since we wouldn't have to do anything right away but the bathrooms were too small and the Master closet SUCKED!!! The search continues and I hate it.
Then we laid by the pool and then had our bowling league. I can't wait for this week to be over with already. I.really.hate.Mondays!!!
Busy weekend for me...
Friday night we went out to eat (which is usually a nightmare with the kiddos.) Went to Old Chicago. MMmmmm
Saturday, I spent most of the day cleaning, doing laundry and editing.
Sunday, I had 2 shoots in Anthem. Later, I took my mom 2 Victoria's Secret and got her some new bras. (Vent post to follow.) Also went shopping for myself and bought a super cute dress and SUPER SUPER cute shoes. I love them so much, I think I might share a picture. LoL
This weekend was really productive. Friday night my cousin was in town, so I met up with the family for dinner at Spinatos. Saturday I emptied our guest room, cleaned the walls, taped off everything, and bought sample paint while DH pulled weeds in the front yard. That night we went to Four Peaks to celebrate his birthday. I LOVE their food. Sunday, we painted the 1st coat of the guest room, started organizing the den/office and DH started sanding an old dresser so we could restain it.
It will be busy for the next 2 weeks until we get the guest room completed...right in time for our friends' to visit.
Our weekend went by too quickly - busy busy buys.
Friday evening we went out to dinner and to the movies to see Oceans (awesome!)
Saturday morning we were up bright and early for co-op pick up. We went out shopping for a little bit because I really "needed" new clothes. Then DH worked on a project for the rest of the afternoon while I did laundry and got ready for our evening plans. That night we went to the SRP/Pera Club Steak Fry and Street Dance (JoDee Messina was the entertainment). It was fun, even though I'm not a big country person, and I ate steak which made me feel sick the next day since we rarely eat meat. But we got to hang out with some people from my organization, and good company always wins me over.
Sunday I spent the day with my brother while DH continued working on his project. Bro and I watched the latest eps of Lost, Fringe and V...then ran some errands and spent the evening at my Mums.
Overall good weekend...but I woke up at 2:30 this morning...I'm exhausted!
Friday night was kinda a dud, jsut cough potatoe'd it at home with the hubby.
Saturday we cleaned house in prep for his mother's visit in a few days, had lunch with my mom and siblings, and then I went to a baby shower of a close friend due next month.
Sunday we went to church and hung out with SIL and her family for a few hours.
Pretty uneventful, but at least we got lots done and it was nice relaxing. Back to work tonight!
This weekend was really nice. I worked half day thursday an dpicked my cousin up at the airport. we then went to lunch and a little shopping then nap cause she was tired from her flight and i made cookies.
Friday we went to the mall and i found the cutest outfit for my niece and then some more shopping then I made lasgane, ceasar salad and garlic bread for dinner and my parents came over to join us.
Saturday we headed out to my sisters then us girls went shopping in Tempe Market Place. Then we went home to relax and had a delicious dinner.
Then Sunday we just relaxed and then Happy Hour and we dropped her off at the airport, then sunday night was laundry and relax before the start of another week. Oh and i also signed up on the bountiful basket website
I am so excited for this next Sat. Morning 
My weekend went well. I left here on Thurs night to go to NY. I got in at 9 and then went straight over to Sern's tattoo shop! I swore to god that it was going to hurt so bad but it really didn't. Thank god!
We went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory later that night then to a bar. The bartender and Owners are good friends with Kristen so we got all our drinks free... YAY! We saw Wicked which was AMAZING and then went back to the bar for some more free drinks!!
Saturday we went out to lunch and then got ready for the Martini party we were hosting at Kristens house. It was such a good time. 8 ladies drinking Martini's all night long. I was up until after 3AM... LOL! I feel so old because I cant do it anymore.. haha!! But it was a lot of fun!
The downside is that on Friday, Carl text me and told me Will had been sick. He's been throwing up since then. I have to bring him to the doctor today because he is very lethargic and still isnt keeping anything down. He threw up his "dinner" on our way home from the airport last night... Poor little dude. Then 2 times in bed last night and just this morning. As I type this, he his sleeping on the couch which is totally NOT like him... I feel so bad...
So today, we have a dentist appointment for Chad at 2, and right next door to that Will has a doctors appointment at 245. I have a feeling that we might end up at the hospital as he's not drinking / eating anything and when he does it comes right up.... Keep your fingers crossed for us!
My weekend was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I flew out Thursday morning for Columbus. Thursday night we went to this amazing mexican food place (not so much the food) but they had margarita's that were to DIE for and knocked you off your feet instantly!
Friday- we had mani/pedi's (so not as good as any I've had here) and then spent the day at Easton (an awesome mall) and again had amazing food (Brandis- you will totally go through food withdrawls here). We had dinner at this great Itallian place in their downtown area, and I had the worlds best Sangria! We walked around down town and got some interesting ice cream from this crazy icecream place.
Saturday we went to the Columbus Zoo- which is so amazing! It's comparable to the San Diego Zoo (it's a Jack Hannah Zoo), and then we went to dinner and got Itallian Ice at Rita's- OMG they need to move out here!
I got in early Sunday and had a spa day (facial/massage) with a girlfriend and then we all had dinner together with DH and her B/F.
Now- it's Monday and I'm going through weekend withdrawls =(
Good morning! I had a good weekend but it went by too fast!
Friday and Saturday I had my advanced cardiac life support class for work. We got out early around 1pm on Saturday so that was nice! After class I ran some errands and went grocery shopping. That night we had a birthday party for a co-worker of mine. It was tons of fun! One of my favorite things about my job is the people I work with. We have parties a lot and they're always super fun. I drank about one glass of wine too many though, and since the dog wakes me up no later than 7:30am no matter what, I was exhausted Sunday.
Sunday I just cleaned the house and did laundry while DH was golfing. Then we spent about 2 hours trying to clear the backyard of some weeds. It was SUCH a pain and there are still so many left! I can't wait until we get that dumb yard landscaped! Then DH had band practice so I just had a quick dinner and watched TV.
Friday DH was at the D-backs game so I put Lucy to bed, at popcorn and drank a beer while watching food inc, then I wrote a blog post
Saturday- slept in a little after getting Lucy up and back down for a nap, breakfast with hubby, went to the ASU scrimmage and hung out with some friends while DH watched Lucy
Sunday- I had just put Lucy down not 45 min before when she woke up to eat at 445, at 6 am she started talking in her crib. I was mad because I didn't want to get up. I decided to let her talk since she wasn't crying, she fell back asleep! YAY! Then we got up, ate breakfast, went to church an then had a nice relaxing day at home!
Lets see...
Friday night was pretty quiet. Nothing spectacular happened.
Saturday I worked at the invite shop, its getting busy, next fall/winter brides are looking for invites and that is the busiest time of the year for wedding so we will be getting busy ourselves! That night I stopped at my friends house who picked up my bountiful basket items! SO AWESOME! I sauted the spinach that night for dinner. Then we went and did karaoke with some friendhs. I didnt get to bed until 3 a.m.!!! Havent had a late night like that in forever.
Sunday I woke up at 8...yeah for 5 hours of sleep. My body wouldnt let me sleep. So I made a big fruit salad with some of our BB fruits. I stayed in my pj's all day, watched a couple movies and ordered chinese for dinner. Went to bed at 930 last night. I was exhausted.
My weekend also started on thursday, dominic and i went to washington to visit a bumpie friend! he was such an angel on the plane ride there. people were making comments about how well behaved and happy he is. We went to round table pizza for dinner that night and just hung out and went shopping.
friday we went to eat some delicious gyros with one of her friends. then we did a little more shopping and went to dinner where dominic was a nightmare. he was so out of whack this weekend. i'm sure it's because in the last 5 weeks we've been out of town 3 of those weekends. poor dude.
saturday we went to a huge baby consignment sale. sucks i couldn't have bought more, they had a lot of stuff! then we went to lunch at a really cute little 50's type diner. that night we went to round table again (woohoo) and then made some mojitos and hung out at home
sunday we went to lunch at this cool irish pub type place. i was bummed we were going to go for a walk along the river and get some really cute pictures but after naps and stuff we didn't really have time before the flight. the flight home was a nightmare. dominic's sleeping was sooo screwed up, i knew i was in for it. he spent about 45 mins to an hour screaming because he was so tired, but he hates sleeping on people, he's very independent. he was fighting going to sleep and i was really embarrassed, i ended up taking him into the plane bathroom until he calmed down enough and fell asleep. it was a very long 2.5 hours. very long. i hate to be "that mom" with the screaming kid but i was doing everything i can so that people didn't have to hear it. ugh. yesterday blew major A.S.S.
My weekend was good (but too fast, of course). On Friday, DH and I had a date night, i.e., we went to the cheap movie theater near our home and saw "It's Complicated."
Saturday morning/afternoon we mostly cleaned and ran errands and then went to the Dbacks game at night. And Sunday we did some grocery shopping and then relaxed the rest of the afternoon and watch a movie.
Pretty low key and fun - just how I like it!
Saturday we had my niece over for a sleepover. We took her to Chuck E Cheese for the first time and she had a blast! She ended up using her tickets to get 4 little plastic snakes..lol. She woke up bright and early on Sunday and said "It's morning! The sun is shining! Time to get up!" Sunday afternoon I bought a couple maternity shirts and 2 cute dresses. OH and DH's sign-on bonus came in this weekend! Our bank account is very happy.
BLOG
OMG this totally makes me wish I lived closer to my niece!!! So cute!
Nothing to exciting to report this weekend. The typical grocery shopping, Saturday morning run, dog park, cleaning, errands, and church. Lots of catching up on dvr and reading. Sunday afternoon bbq with friends. I too am ready for the next weekend already! Soooo glad I have tomorrow off!
