what did you do this weekend?
friday: i got this crazy rash all over my feet and arms. i left work early (i had already worked 40+ hours anyway) and dosed up on benadryl.
saturday: after a double dose of benadryl i slept until 1030 AM. ZzZz. Then i went to home depot four times in an hour. Andy kept thinking of more things he needed after i left. but we got all of the electrical stuff done and all of the painting too. Saturday night we went out to dinner to the local brewery. they took my favorite dish (lobster mac and cheese with baby portabellas and gruyere) off the menu. sad face.
sunday: went to breakfast at the local diner. andys computer wasnt working so he called the warranty center at staples and they told him the $199 warranty we bought was only for our monitor and didnt cover our computer. so we had to go to staples and fight with them. then i cleaned the grout of the downstairs tile with a toothbrush. i have a bruise on each knee so andy says ive officially helped with the home improvement. then we washed and primed the spare room.
Re: what did you do this weekend?
Friday was a blur. Worked my ass off, ran a couple of errands, and then finally relaxed once Sam went to bed.
Saturday was even more errands, and then we went to a friend's engagement party...
Sunday was WW, we bought a new washer and dryer thanks to Tax-Free weekend, there was a baby pool party before it started raining, and then I hung out with my friends a little bit after...
And now I'm here, at work, when I should be home snuggin' my baby =(

Friday I worked till 9pm, then went to bed
Saturday we went to Cinci for my old roommate's wedding. The only people we knew were the bride and the MOH, and it was a catholic wedding, so the ceremony was at 1:30 and the reception wasn't until 6. So we went to an awesome mall (Kenwood) and walked around and I bought some new jeans, then we went to the cocktail hour where we didn't know anyone, and then to the reception. We stayed until about 10, then drove 1.5 hours home. It was a LONG day.
Sunday we lounged around the house, then met up with my friend for an early dinner, ran a few errands, and watched TV.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Friday I finished up my summer course (with an A!)
Saturday was full of yardwork, cleaning out the garage, and laundry.
Sunday was church, family dinner, and movie night with my DH.
And.....now I am applying for graduation (FINALLY!-after 4 1/2 years and three changes in my major!) and taking my car to get cleaned and the oil changed. Maybe the pool later?
We spent Saturday doing our baby registry. Fun stuff, took forever.
On Sunday H was downstairs working on trim in the kitchen while I was upstairs ripping everything apart and reorganizing. I was proud of myself for getting it ALL done! Now there's room for the office up there so we can get started on the nursery soon
We had a date night on Saturday at a restaurant called The Wine House. The food is delish, but I really missed having some wine:(
Other than that, we ran some errands and worked on cleaning out the garage. Very exciting.

This is my mall of choice... I LOVE the place. There is another spot two exits down on 71 called Rookwood Commons. Great shopping between the two.
Friday- Big Birthday Bash was a hit- we had 50 people at our house which was crazy but it turned out well. I felt a little crazy and didnt really get to drink but it was good. I loved showing off the house and having lots of friends to celebrate with.
Saturday- was supposed to go to a baby shower at night but day went very wrong. My mother in law called to see if she could come down to see Charlotte. this was at 11am. We expected her by about 12:30 but after a blown tire and her leaving late she didnt get to Cincinnati until about 4. We had to take her for new tires and didnt really get back to the house until 6:30. We ended up missing our shower and she stayed the night. We were able to car shop a bit which was nice, but still threw the day off.
Sunday- spent the morning with mother in law and Charlotte. We ended up getting to the car dealership at 12 and ended up buying a new car. After the LONG process (why does it have to take so darn long) we ended up with a beautiful 2008 Camry. Its loaded and I love it. I feel very fancy.
Friday: Work
Saturday: We had our growth scan and then attempted to go to the beach. The beach parking was full so we ended up at the pool at J's parents' condo complex.
Sunday: Lots of organizing & cleaning. We finished the nursery and our bedroom is 98% done.
Since most of you are friends with me on FB, I won't bother posting the u/s or nursery pics on here as well. (unless anyone actually wants me to)

Friday I was super productive, got a lot done aroudn the house. Made dinner, we just chilled and watched a movie most of the evening.
Saturday we went to the farmers market (and had breakfast from my favorite Colombian ladies!). Pulled some weeds, did some more stuff around the house. Had a SP, which went really well - my highest sales yet, woot!
Then I went home, dropped off my stuff, met Scott back at the house, and some friends picked us up to head out for the evening (couldn't even tell ya the last time i "headed out" for the evening at 11pm...) we partied with the US Rugby team. Whoa. Those boys know how to DRINK! Got home around 3am.
Sunday: slept way late. Clearly. Did some laundry, some blogging, then had the SP state training/meeting from 4-8.
Friday we were going to go see the Poetry Slam Semi-Finals but they were sold out, so we ended up walking past some friends who were on their way to get sushi, so we went with them. Had a great dinner and then grabbed drinks.
Saturday - Jon went golfing, I did some work that popped in late Friday night. Then we did grocery shopping and headed down to Providence. We stopped in to see my mom, I introduced him to New York System hot dogs and then we went to Waterfire, walked around, saw an outdoor concert, walked around Federal Hill, grabbed some pizza and headed home.
Sunday - Jon had softball, I went to the gym then we went back to RI to a friends house who was having a baptism party for their newborn. That was cute. Then we had dinner plans with friends. It was a pretty full weekend.
Friday: relaxed at home with H and watched Soul Surfer
Saturday: Went to th NY Renaissance Faire with some friends of ours, went home and relaxed after a long day.
Sunday: went out to lunch with H and then relaxed the rest of the day since it was raining and I had a bad migraine.
Friday we did groceries and went to Chili's, then I finished the top of the houndstooth baby quilt.
Saturday we got up early and looked at apartments- a) this process sucks, b) I hate dog breed discrimination and c) everything is either totally crappy or ridiculously expensive because of needless features (valet trash service? private gated parking [4 spots per gate]? pool cabana rental? I don't need that stuff).
Then I went and bought stuff at the fabric store that was having a crazy sale. After that I napped, and then went out with friends.
Sunday Kirk woke me up way earlier than I would have liked, then he went to the gym so I was just awake and cranky. I finished the edges of my quilt top and quilted the entire thing. We ate Chipotle and lounged and watched Big Bang Theory.
Stand up for something you believe in.
