What have you been up to this weekend?
Friday night I had a basketball game and then went out for drinks with my girls after. We hit the wall pretty early as we all worked a 14+ hour day on Friday. We went from chatter to nothing in about five seconds lol.
Yesterday, I looked at Pinterest for probably hours, made some sausage cheese balls and enjoyed just being home for the first time all week. I made a roasted chicken and mac and cheese for dinner.
Today, I cleaned up the house, we ate some lunch, got groceries, and I'm almost done baking some cookies for us, and have assembled a potato casserole that's going in the oven in a few minutes. It's for the family of a former student. She had a brain aneurysm a couple of weeks ago, and the principal decided to make a meal for them and I offered up potatoes. In a little bit, a grad school friend is coming over for help on the flute.
The rest of the day is probably going to be devoted to pretty much nothing, except making dinner. I might play some video games or watch a movie or something lazy. It was a hellish week, and this coming week is insanely busy, so I need the rest!
Re: What have you been up to this weekend?
On Friday night DH worked, so I took a dance lesson. It was a lot of fun but I definitely have two left feet. I feel badly for the other students in the class who had to be subjected to me
I didn't feel well yesterday so I slept most of the day, then DH and I watched football and ate junk food (turkey and cheese baked in french bread, baked chips, and one of those cold "veggie pizza" things you make on crescent rolls.")
Today is just lazing around and enjoying the Harry Potter weekend
I have been feeling pretty icky so Friday day we watched "Horrible Bosses" on directv, which by the way was so freaking filthy and hilarious!
On Saturday we prepared for Friendsgiving which consisted of going to International Pantry to pick out some new Le Creuset stuff (a surprise) which I was very excited about. We also went to Sephora and I got some new foundation! Smashbox, which I am pretty excited about. I wanted to buy the Urban Decay Naked set but DH rolled his eyes and told me no way. Whatever, yo.
We had Friendsgiving Saturday night which was so fun. I think we had 12 people (?). I totally screwed up my homemade mac and cheese mostly because I started drinking at 3pm. Goddamnit. I can't taste anything either which sucks.
Today - I just got out of bed. It is 4:30.
Let's see. On Friday evening, I watched some DVR-ed episodes of "My First Place" while H worked on some extra stuff. Saturday, I read and tidied up a bit. Today, we went for a walk at the nature park to look at the fall color (gorgeous!). I've also been doing laundry and am going to make some chicken manicotti tonight. And if I get to it, I'm going to clear out the dead herbs from my herb garden pot and re-plant with chives.
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
Friday evening I flew back from a business trip, so after that I collapsed on the couch with DH and watched recorded tv shows till I fell asleep. Saturday I went to the gym then spent several hours doing some online research for our upcoming trip.
Today I took down my Halloween decorations, read the newspaper, went swimming at the gym, did more research for our trip, and my standard weekly cleaning. I still need to finish a load of laundry and vacuum the living room and kitchen.
Man, I lead a boring life!
I got a massage Friday afternoon after school. It was heavenly. H and I had a late dinner and just relaxed.
Yesterday H went camping with some friends, so MIL and I went shopping. I found two dresses for an out of town wedding and events next weekend, and looked over some potential baby registry items. We tried Humble Pie in Edmond for dinner and it was delicious.
Today I went and registered at PB Kids for baby's bedding, blankets, and some misc. items. Our family has been bugging us to register so at least there's a small list now.
This past weekend was the first weekend I had no sort of obligation whatsoever since Labor Day weekend, and it was glorious. Drove to Lawton on Friday night. JJ has been battling a cold since Thursday, so he crashed out super early. Spent most of the night watching HP 7.2 and stuffing my face with homemade chicken pot pie.
Clipped coupons and watched the OSU game on Saturday morning, then spent a good two hours at the Commissary buying groceries. Met my best friend for dinner [steak and beers at Outback, heck yes] and watched a ton of college football. This past weekend was one awesome weekend of college ball, that's for sure.
Spent Sunday setting up my fantasy teams and watching football. We all took long naps after a late breakfast, then I went to Sam's to pick up some stuff and get my tires checked out before making the long-ass drive back home. Should probably head to bed now...
We had a busy weekend!
Friday: Cleaned in the morning. Then we drove down to Dallas. I ran an 11k race Friday evening. It was in the dark (hardly any lights along the way) and pretty much went through the ghetto. But it was a blast! The weather was perfect! Then we got Chili's to go and ate it in our hotel room.
Saturday: Our couple friends met us in Dallas. We ate some In and Out (which is overrated if you ask me), went to the JFK 6th Floor Museum, and then went to the mall.
Sunday: DH and my friend's H went to the Dallas Cowboys game while my friend and I went to Ikea (for 3 hours! Gosh that place is huge) and went to the mall. We got home around 9:30 last night.

Friday: I cleaned like a mad woman. My house looks great right now! We went out to eat and then we watched Water for Elephants after M went to bed.
Saturday: We took family pictures, did some shopping, went to the ILs so DH could fix their tv.
Sunday: Church, hosted a baby shower, and grocery shopping.
I had a great 3 day weekend!
Friday- Took the day off and dropped my car off to get an oil change while H and I did some Christmas shopping at Quail. We also ate PF Changs for lunch. Friday night we went to Looney Bin and then had H's aunt and uncle over til about 3 a.m. It was a fun night!
Saturday- I spent the day recovering from Friday night. Did 10,000 loads of laundry and rented a movie.
Sunday- My mom came over and hung out with me for a few hours. I went grocery shopping, gave myself a pedicure, and cooked a really good lunch.
