How was your weekend?
What did you do?
Re: How was your weekend?
It was pretty good.
We had friends over on Friday night to play Pathfinder.
On Saturday I did all of the barn work and grocery shopping early then spent the rest of the day lounging on the couch and trying to sleep when I could. I went to be around 10:30 to grab a cat nap.
On Sunday I worked from 2:30 AM - 6 AM to finish that evil evil project. Then played video games and took care of my horses and played more video games. And went to bed at about 9.
It was a weird schedule because of the work on Sunday morning, but totally worth it.
My weekend was lame. Saturday I spent the day at the vet with our greyhound. He's been getting lamer and lamer in his forelimbs since early January and no one can figure it out. Still no answer, and he has an orthopedic consult tomorrow
His behavior has really changed and I just want him better. He used to love walks and now we have to drag him off the couch to get him out the door (which is no easy feat with a large breed, as you know!)
Saturday night we had a date that was actually really nice. We eat out maybe once every two weeks and it's usually just because we don't feel like cooking. But H leaves for Europe on Wednesday for almost 3 weeks, and we're trying to spend some quality time together beforehand. We had a lot of fun at Barrio, which is one of our favorite restaurants. Yum, tapas! On a related note, my mom pronounces that word like, "tappis." Come on.
Sunday, I went for a long run with OSULori (of Pets and P&CE fame). At some point during the day we realized our garage had been tagged with some kind of racist symbol, along with much of our neighborhood. They painted a swastika on our neighbor's Audi and the n-word on our other neighbor's bumper. Seriously. So H spent the day cleaning it up and then hanging the motion-sensing light we'd been meaning to hang from the garage. I spent the evening making a tasty dinner and cleaning the house. It hasn't been really clean/organized in a long time, and I always like to start off on a good foot when H travels.
So yeah. Lame weekend. But I got a lot of sleep, so there's that. And I got fired up about the graffiti, so I had a good workout this morning (punching and kicking a bag).

My weekend was not long enough! Very low key. I've been feeling "off" for about a week, fighting off a cold, and was really lethargic, sniffly and icky this weekend. We lounged around, the little dude is pretty sick with a cold and napped lot, took some walks, ate Chinese food, watched some cartoons, played with Legos. I need this cold to either go away, or hit full force so I can stay home for a day and sleep it off. This whole "drag around for a week feeling half-crappy" thing is not super fun.
KC - That absolutely sucks that someone went around doing that in your neighborhood.
My weekend was crummy.

I also had a low-key weekend. Errands and chores, chores and errands. It rained/sleeted all day yesterday, so we just snuggled up on the couch and caught up on our DVR.
DL, it takes a lot of love and strength to do that. Hugs.
Aw, DL, I'm so sorry, but it sounds like he'll be happy out there.
Our weekend was mostly boring... bought some random baby stuff, got frozen yogurt, etc.
Though, last week FIL came to visit, looked at houses for literally a day, and bought one, so he's moving back out here. He is out of his damn mind.
I had such a super fun weekend. It was truly awesome.
Friday night we decided to work out at home instead of the gym, and H recommended trying a Cross Fit type routine. We killed ourselves, but were cracking up and having a great time doing it. Then we had champagne and super fun sexy time.
Saturday morning I ran a few errands and came home with Starbucks to find H had made eggs and bloody marys. After that we went to the outlet mall and shopped til we dropped. Sales were insane. I may have bought 2 more dresses. Then we went to our favorite restaurant and had an awesome dinner. More champagne, more sexy time.
OK. Saw an old friend I hadn't seen in years on Saturday, Sunday I bought myself a crap ton of new clothes, had lunch with another friend, went to help my grandma use ancestry.com (which may sound slightly fun but she's 84, doesn't know how to use a computer, and has had many strokes, so it was a trying few hours but fun to watch her face light up when we found relatives all the way back to 1803), and capped off the weekend at my in-laws' having pizza.
Today I was so worn out I had the embarrassing moment of falling asleep at my desk and conking my head on the keyboard.
ETA: DL, just saw your response, that sucks. What you're doing for him may be the best thing, but it certainly won't make it any less difficult. {{{DL}}}
