back to monday
hope everyone had a nice weekend! i was in NM all weekend, got some serious sun (and quite the sunglasses burn. sexy.) and then had a hellish time getting home yesterday. i thought i would be in bed by midnight (a 14 hour day of traveling) but by midnight i was just getting to boston. i got a hotel, fell asleep, and rose this morning to take a bus back up to nh. i will arrive around noon and head straight into work (in my dirty clothes). i think i iwll leave early so i can get groceries and see my man before he leaves for HIS week long conference tomorrow 
i cant believe how cold it is back in new england. i want new mexico forever.
and happy boston marathon day!
Re: back to monday
Happy Patriots Day!
I always have sunglass lines because my eyes are extremely sensitive to light and I am literally never without them.
One of our visitor dogs, Roy, has been eating our dogs' food and had dinareena all over the house at like 4 a.m. Crazy insane. This weekend kicked my ass. I'm not sure why. My back is acting up again. Is this how it's going to be forever? Farg.
I got my free Monday iced coffee from DD. Only one more week left. Boo. Lots o' deadlines this week. I got plums from Produce Junction last week and they were rockin'. This week not so much.
Here's my weekend breakdown:
Friday we had a Relay For Life fashion show. I broke my spending moratorium to hit up a few vendors since our Relay gets money kicked back from them. It was a really nice night. I went straight from work and we got home around 12.
Have I mentioned we are babysitting two other pugs? It was utter hell sleeping with four pugs. Hate.
Saturday I was up at 7. I headed to Produce Junction at 8. After that I FINALLY got my license changed at the DMV. I swung by my Dad's but no one was home. I dropped photos off at the inlaws'.
I had coffee with my mom before I dropped my engagement ring off at her jeweler to be polished and redipped. I exchanged a dog bed at PetLand and made my way home. I ate lunch, watched shows on DVR, worked on building my blog and read some mags. Annnnnnnnd ordered some shorts with my Old Navy bucks back. Free clothes? Yes please.
MFD got home and made dinner. We ate and watched random TV all night. It was horrid weather. I finished my book in bed and fell asleep at 12:45.
Sunday I was up at 8, cleaned and reorganized the kitchen, did some purging and cleaning throughout the house, made food for the week and packed lunches, did a bunch of laundry, clipped coupons, took the dogs for a walk with MFD, watched The Good Wife and a lot of HGTV, went to Target, made dinner.
The End.
Hello Monday. I will be in early all week since I have to make up for lost time last week...yay for me. We had a nice weekend. We have a new addition to our family...
It's an early b-day present for Richard. He's been wanting to get rid of his Mustang so we traded it in for this Nissan Maxima. It's not new, but it's new to us, and as long as it still has that new car smell it's all good.
Yesterday we had a BBQ at my gma's house. I ate waaaaay to much and now my tummy hurts. I want to go home early, but I can't.
this is the best news i have heard all day. if ever there was a blog i would want to read, it is yours. need the link immediately. IMMEDIATELY.
Blog
Ew Michigan. Snow? Really?
My tulips came out this weekend! So happy. This is the first year we did bulbs. Next year we will add hyacinths and crocuses.
Today can kiss my fat half-black arse. Suck it!
Weekend breakdown~
Friday:
Got home from work, went to Starbucks w/ DH to sign his contractor contract. The district mgr went thru it page by page. 34 pages and 2 hours later, we got home, changed for the Mammoth game and headed downtown. It was family night, which means a bunch of amateurs who know nothing about lacrosse, and block our view while trying to find their seats. We had a group of about 20, and finding seats together was hell. Since my besties and I have season tix, we kicked out the posers (including brother's GF). Caused a big riff and I was hoping the GF would get pissed and leave. She didn't. Hate her. She's a story for another time.
Saturday:
Slept in until 10. Glorious. Took pug for a walk, worked out and cleaned out my car (vaccuum, dusted, general cleaning). Went to Old Navy, realized I'm still a fat asss, and wen't home empty handed.
DH had a hair brained idea to take his big delivery truck to MIL's in Evergreen to build shelves. Went along for the ride. Climbing I70 in that beast was hell. We were going 20mph and getting passed by semis.
Got up the mtn (scary on the switchback driveway) and DH built his shelves. Hung w/ MIL all day. Weird w/o DH there. We spent the night and woke up Sunday to more shelf building and farting around w/ MIL.
Sunday:
Ordered stuff from ON online (women's plus/tall) and headed back down the mtn in the late afternoon. Could not have been scarier in that big truck. 5 point turns my asss, took us about half an hour to get down the driveway. Then coming down I70, I told DH he better not make us use the runaway truck ramps. Scared shiitless, he was driving so fast.
Back on solid ground, we went to dinner at Smashburger. Hello lover. Please open one in my neighborhood. Got home and watched 127 hours. Great movie, bad right before bed. Bad dreams=exhausted Monday morning.
Thank you for reading my book. Do you want me to sign it for you?
Thank you! I am struggling with the platform. I like wordpress and how it looks on the front end, but the admin panel is really counterintuitive to how I think.
I need to decide on that or blogspot this week. I already have the URL on both, but otherwise it's blank. I'm also working on some posts for those writer's block days. I will let you know as soon as I let it fly!
Ditto to the 2nd degree! PS, Shauni, sad you had a big layover in my hood and I didn't get to see/meet you!
I am only working till 1 today and have tomorrow and wednesday off for passover! YAY short week!!
We hung out with some friends on Friday and I was mostly outted since I wasn't drinking. All of our good friends knew something was up. I don't know how long I can pull the not feeling card at the restraunt. I'll be more ok with letting people know/figure out after our doctors appointment next tuesday.
We had a nice day yesterday went to our favorite little restruant/bar watched some baseball, then went to the bar greg works at, and took Pierce out to for a drive and hung out a bar for a little bit. WOW, for a girl who can't drink I went to alot drinking places yesterday.
I was going to run errands after my short day today but napping/hanging out at home sounds like a much better idea.
I'm tired as hell today. Exhausted doesn't even describe how I feel right now.
Friday:
Left Augusta and headed to Albany with a pit stop in Dublin to drop some wedding stuff off for my sister to use in her thing in two weeks AND see my adorable nephew. Made it to Albany and got into a massive argument with Jeremy where I was an emotional roller coaster and cried uncontrollably pretty much. He wanted to get a room that night so we did. I still had stuff to make for the b-party saturday including cutting up cantaloupe and making jello (that was fun in a hotel room). Got to bed about 1...woke up at 6 to get ready and picked my friend up right after 7 and we headed to Jax.
4 hours later, we checked into the hotel. It was insanely windy so the beach was out unless you wanted to eat, pee and poop sand for the next 7 days. No thanks. Saturday was fun, she got some cute stuff. Her sister and friend caused drama as were going out to the bars so whatev. All in all good night.
Sunday: Traveled 8 hours and got home about 10:30 and still had to unload the car and whatnot.
Thank goodness it's a 4 day work week.
The End.
Misty - aha ha hahaah I wrote a book this morning too.
Four pugs this weekend - insane. We let them loose to run in the fields Sunday and they had a ball. HOWEVER the one having dinareena all over the house at 4 a.m. not so fun. I stepped in it too. EEEEEEEE
My weekend sucked!!!!
Weekend Recap: I was sick with strep throat and didn't leave the house at all. It hurt so bad I couldn't swallow it hurt to breat but since my nose was so stopped up I had to breath through my mouth. Miserable, yesterday I had to get out of the house so H took me to the outlet mall and bought me stuff the make me feel better and then when we got back home I was so exhauasted from having no energy and laid in bed the rest of the evening.
And I missed my soon to be SIL bachlorette party saturday night. I felt horrible for not going, I tried to maybe make it. I took a shower and had high hopes then was completly out of energy by the time I got out of the shower. I had bascially lost most of my voice and when I did talk I sounded like a man and couldn't even dream of getting ready. Today I fell alot better but my voice and now going in and out, but i'm at work atleast.
Xtine - I never ask someone why they are or aren't drinking so I'd be like oh she must just be thirsty for water! hahaha. Jealous of your time off this week!
emilyann holy shitskies I'd be exhausted after that weekend! hahahaha @ eat, pee and poop sand.
dude, no joke! i was supposed to have a 2 hour layover. that got turned into 6 hour layover. wish i had energy to check out of security and come meet you. but 1)i was popping ambien and was not much fun (zzzzz) and 2)holy biggest airport EVER. it was like being in a mall with everything you ever needed (except chick-fil-a)
Blog
I can't believe I'm about to type this, but I'm actually kind of happy its Monday.
Friday - I came home from work, cleaned up a few spots with the Bissell spot pot, cleaned the apartment, wrote out the grocery list and then damn near fell over when my "here comes your period migraine" invaded my head. Around 12:30AM H and I were still up so we decided to run to the grocery store. (I love 24 hour Walmart) We got back and realized that apparently the typical bar go-er neighbors came home early and stole my parking spot. =( Finally went to bed around 3 AM
Saturday - slept in and woke up around 10 to my brain feeling like it was going to explode out my ears. Eff you period migraine, eff you. Made white chocolate/chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, garlic & rosemary focaccia bread and shepherd's pie. Completed the weeks' homework and took a test, 80%, which I thought was reasonable for feeling like death.
Sunday - woke up at 6 AM to the 3rd day of my period migraine. Took a shower, printed out some recipes I wanted, wandered around doing stupid stuff, and finally collapsed on the couch around 2:30 PM to watch Smallville season 8 with H for a few hours. Then I made dinner (cajun chicken pasta), watched some more Smallville, and went to bed at 9:30.
This morning - my evil piece of sh*t period finally arrived so my 3 day migraine has diminished to minor twitches of pain in my right temple. I got to play with the Keurig at work. How I love that thing. And since 8:30 AM I've been printing checks, stuffing envelopes and sticking return address labels on envelopes. I'm no where near done. I need a monkey to do this for me.
Married / The Cookaholic Wife
Oh not our friends/people we hang out with... I get it all the time.
I feel your pain. I sounded like a 13 y/o boy going through puberty yesterday with my voice going in and out. And today it's pretty much shot.
Feel better soon!
Hey all!! happy monday!!!
It snowed here on saturday. Nothing stuck, but it sucked!!! today it's cloudy and gloomy and i would rather be in bed watching craptastic lifetime movies than be at work.
This weekend was pretty good. After the debacle of being late for the bridal shower, it turned out fine. The rest of the day was low-key, just grocery shopping and dinner at Cosi with Jeff. Sunday was really nice - we ate yummy, healthy food, got in our exercise, and even had some calories for wine in the evening with our fave Food Network shows. Nothing exciting, but a really relaxing, nice day.
Today I'm wearing a new pair of shoes that I've been dying to wear since I got them (as a bday gift from Jeff), but the weather hasn't cooperated. I've been quite the shoe maven lately; I've worn a different pair of shoes every day since last Saturday. I'm bound to repeat very soon though!
I'm in a cranky mood because my boss was going to meet with me today and decided to take the whole week off without telling me. And my co-worker just asked me to come along to buy her lunch - yes, I owe her $10 because she bought me lunch last week when I didn't have cash, but I wasn't planning on going (I brought my lunch) and I find it pretty annoying that she asked me outright to "come along so I could pay her back." I was going to go to the ATM and give her the cash later, but I guess this works...
My weekend was depressingly unproductive. I had so much I wanted to do. Half of it was outside stuff (pulling out dead plants, planting some new flowers/bushes, sweeping the driveway, taking a trip to the shooting range) and it was ridiculously windy and kinda rainy on Saturday, so no outside stuff. And I was all depressed about not doing outside stuff, so I didn't do any inside stuff (hanging up pictures, hooking up the rest of our sound system, cleaning the bathroom, installing a new cabinet in the upstairs bathroom). I sat on the couch all day and watch Grey's on netflix.
On Sunday, H woke up with a sore throat. All I did was go to the chopper and buy some chicken soup and 7up. We watched Dirty Dancing, the Patriot and the Rangers/Caps game.
I've been ridiculously productive at work this morning, which is exciting. I'm exhausted though because H slept like crap and that means that I don't get any sleep. Sickly H is home on the couch, IMing me about our wedding album. I told him to just pick whatever pictures he thinks are best and that I'll look over them when I get home.
I need a vacation. To some place sunny and warm with a beach. I've recently developed an itch to go to Cabo.
I bought a dress for the 3 weddings I'm going to next month. I spent way too much on it. I cannot find it anywhere online, but I bought it at Macy's. It's navy and I plan on wearing my silver wedding shoes with it.
And with that, I shall end my aimless ranting. Happy Monday!
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
Dude, I know. We went to a nice dinner on Saturday night, and the WAITER was like, only water? so I blurted out "I'm pregnant!" H was not amused.
no shiz, right? and it wouldn't have mattered, it was Sunday, Chick-Fil-A would've been closed
Whee, Monday! We had a nice weekend, and got lots done.
Our community yard sale is in 2 weeks, so we spent a bunch of time on Saturday organizing our stuff. We have so much freaking stuff, it's insane. We also did some shopping that morning and I got a few cute cotton dresses at Loft on the 40% off sale. They look like they'll 'grow' with me this summer, which is good.
Had Easter with my family yesterday, because my sister and her husband work for the schools and they start back the day after real Easter. It was nice, and my niece and nephew found out I'm pg because their dad wasn't aware they didn't know yet, and asked me questions in front of them. No big deal, but because my sister was waiting and I'm the one who actually told my niece when she asked what we were talking about, it's my fault. Blurg.
This always bothers me. I always forget about Chick-Fil-A and when I remember and want it, it's always Sunday...
This weekend was pretty productive.
Friday night I finished painting our dining room and stairway. Saturday we bought the wood, cut the wood, and put our desk together. All that is left is priming and painting to finish it off...it looks fantastic! Sunday I did laundry, went grocery shopping, baked cookies, and enjoyed a lazy day.
Downside...it snowed all weekend long.
Almost forgot!
Saturday night we went to the grand march for my nephew's prom and he was crowned prom king.
It was also the night that I realized I am old. I used to babysit for all these kids that were there and they all looked so grown up. When did that happen?! I posted pictures on facebook for the kids if anyone is interested.
