Weekend High and Low Lights?
High: I read 2 books and wrote finally! I needed to get caught up on writing, but there just wasn't time last week.
Low: DH and I were both in pissy moods yesterday for no real reason. Ugh. We'd best be feeling better today!
My Favorite Part of Spring~Red Sox Baseball!
Re: Weekend High and Low Lights?
High: H saved up his "tip" money and bought Dierks Bentley tickets for next month. So excited!
Low: My body is now killing me after a 3 mile jog.
High: Seeing so many friends on Saturday and laughing my ass off a few times!
Low: my street pharmacist was all sorts annoying when I needed to meet up, making it a real PITA to get my green goodies for the festivities. (all is good now, tho)
High: H and I went on a 22 mile bicycle ride for our first time out on the trail. Then I came home and stayed out in the sun the rest of the day since it was about 80 and so beautiful here, which is unheard of in March!
Low: Grandfathers wake yesterday, continuing with funeral today. While we are sad about his passing he has wanted very much to join my grandmother and we are happy for him that he's now at peace and no longer sad & lonely. My family is huge and with both grandparents gone the family has already started to split and no longer get along. The drama is beyond ridiculous so today will probably be more uncomfortable than yesterday.
Wine, I'm sorry about your grandpa. I understand what you mean about joining your grandma though. H's grandpa passed about a month ago and he always said he was ready to join her. Very sad, but somehow comforting.
High: H and I rearranged the living room and it looks so much better. Basically swapped the couches around and moved a couple tables. The room looks much more spacious and now we can acutally use the recliner seats.
Low: Dealing with the lab I get Whisky's (cat's) meds from. His cancer vet is so inconvenient and stopped carrying medication (WTF, a vet's office that doesn't carry meds?) so I have to order from a lab in AZ. Cancer vet didn't renew the prescriptions or respond to the fax inquiries last week so now I have to rush order everything and hope it all comes in by Thursday.
**HUGS**
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family today, I hope everything goes smoother than you are expecting. I'm so sorry you are dealing with all of this but glad that you are finding solace.
Wine - I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfater.
::hugs::
High: Hubby and I killed a bottle of vodka on Friday while watching Mad About You and when we went to bed we had probably the best sex of our relationship. Hickeys included. And neither of us are fully aware of how it started.
Low: Hubby and I killed a bottle of vodka on Saturday and both of us seemingly blacked out during the same time for a vast majority of the night (neither of us remember drinking the second half of the bottle).
Bonus: We've now learned. No more than a bottle a weekend, though how it's divided is still under review.
High(s): The studio is painted and the construction is all done! The party we went to on Saturday was a blast and it was really nice to unwind.
Low(s): I am doing a 20 day sugar cleanse and I am not really that pleased about it.
High - h and I went on a long bike ride and hung out side most of the weekend, it was gorgeous.
Low - we had a hail storm and had damage to our cars.
Highs: we moved this weekend and the house looks adorable and I'm so happy with it- and my OU bobcats made it to the Sweet 16..... Oh and as a result, we discovered the coooollest bar in Denver last night that is a Bobcat bar and they serve three different kinds of veggie sliders!!!
lows: breaking the sink in new rental home- oops- and st pattys party, which deserves its own post......see above
High: ran the RnR USA half marathon in DC and got my best time for a half ever, I'm so excited!
Low: I spent too much money this weekend
Wine--**hugs** Sorry to hear about your grandpa. Good luck today.
Highs--Hanging out with the ladies Friday and Saturday while the guys had a bachelor weekend, the weather was amazing!!, and I started the cork board project for my friend's shower gift, and it is looking awesome.
Low--it was really hot last night, so I didn't get much sleep.
High: 4 day weekend! Got a few more checks off the wedding to-do list.
Low: With only 5 weeks to go, I feel like I could have been more productive.
Low: Not feeling like I was active enough, even though the weather was/is amazing!
Low: not doing a damn thing for St. Patty's day
High: Hanging out and getting drunk with DH last night... first time we've gotten to do that in a couple of weeks!
I have a few highs
High 1: I spent Sunday with H. We shopped. We bought H shoes and I shoes (I got new vans!).
High 2: We also bought me my very own shotgun yesterday. H wants me to have my OWN arsenal. I already have a handgun. It's a 12 gauge, but has a very short barrel on it so I can handle it.
High 3: I planted about 12 plants in our yard yesterday
I was wanting to put in a garden so I did it! I love it so far. A lot of plants are drought/deer resistant so it's great.
Low: I have a massive migraine that started yesterday. Today I had massive auras. The TV was moving and the walls were closing in on me earlier.
High: I had some crazy experiences this weekend. I don't really know how to explain them without sounding completely vague but let's just say I've lived in the south for awhile and never saw it like this. It was good and bad, but mostly good.
Lows: Some of the people we were hanging out with on Saturday night couldn't hold their liquor to save their lives. I didn't really want to babysit, but thank goodness they had other help shortly after they got sick.
BTW- We didn't have to go to the funeral on Saturday since they moved it to Monday. To say I was relieved is an understatement.
I am dying to know more details about those experiences!
And YAY for now funeral on Saturday, I'm so glad to hear that!
High: We grilled out for the first time this year! Yum!
Low: Looking at wallpaper isn't exactly enthusing. Plus, I have commitment issues when it comes to decorating.

Check out What's on Liz's Head
High: Ispent the weekend helping my mom get her new place cleaned and got some stuff moved and fixed. Also spent the weekend with my Great Aunt who is intown helping.
Low: My own house looks like a tornado hit it since I have barely been here for a week.
High: L put our new bed together yesterday and I'm really happy with the way it looks. Also, we had a nice talk on Friday about some feelings I've had lately that haven't been that great. For some reason I'd sort of been keeping it all to myself and I feel happy to have things out in the open now.
Low: Hmm, I wanted to see 21 Jump Street and we didn't end up going. That's all I can come up with.
High: Went to my favorite pub & pizzeria Saturday night, had Guiness, green beer, and 'bangers and mash' pizza. Got Crazy, Stupid Love from the Redbox and snuggled up in bed to watch it.
Low: It snowed and hailed, which is sad because I was thoroughly enjoying the spring weather... Winter weather makes my drive home really horrible. I just barely missed a 5 car wreck on the canyon, yikes!
Wine, I'm so sorry about your grandfather.
High: DH and I had an amazing day in SF yesterday
It was just a relaxing, fun day.
Low: When our shower was fixed on Saturday, we had to be out of the house all day. It was nasty weather and we had to bring the dog, so it was hard to come up with activities that included the dog. We made it work, but it just wasn't ideal.
Wine, I'm so sorry for your loss and having to endure family drama during such a difficult time. *hugs*
Highs: The weather was awesome. I love it and my mood is always lifted when it's nice outside! I got to catch up with 2 friends, even though it was on the phone. I finalized some more plans for our trip and I'm very excited.
Lows: Most of you heard about Friday night's craziness, but I'm just glad everyone is ok and proud of DH. DH also fell down the stairs Saturday and possibly broke his toe. I'm a little worried since we leave for Europe next week, but the swelling is goin down and he's feeling better. I didn't do anything for St. Patty's Day this year; I miss my friends and wish I knew more people here.
High- I found out my cousin is coming out on Wednesday!
Low- I'm exhausted.
