Weekend Recaps, happy Monday
Good morning, hope everyone did something nice over the weekend.
Tell me about about it!
May Siggy Challenge: Fave Band at the moment
Re: Weekend Recaps, happy Monday
Friday - the engagement party was SO fun! Even D enjoyed it (something i didn't expect!) the pictures are hilarious, and it's incredibly obvious that I had a few jello shots, but it made the night so much more fun. I even went on stage and back up danced to big butts
Saturday - had a headache from hell that kept me from going and going the volunteering I signed up for (oops) but was redeemed by having drinks with some incredibly lovely ladies followed by dinner at the house for my sister's bday.
Sunday - D and I went to his grandparents place for easter and had a surprisingly good time. He always enjoys himself when there are 4 wheelers around. He even managed to run into a tree (insert George of the Jungle theme song). Apparently that was the lesser danger of two options.
I got to have PRIME examples of BRE. D's aunt has 2 little ones (like 5&7) and she's in her 40s. She told me earlier in the day that she's glad she's older with these two, (she has an older one) clearly stating that she didn't care as much, was much more lax and didn't care what other people thought. Well A few of us are sitting at the table talking, when my observant ass looks outside and notices the freakin' 5 year old climbing up on a pool ladder. It was next to the pool (luckily he didn't decided to go up the one that led to the pool). I didn't say anything, I was honestly just waiting for that kid to fall of. He was crawling all over itlike it was a jungle gym. It wasn't until the kid realized that he couldn't get down that he cried for his mom and that the mom noticed he wasn't around.
She came back like "Oh, I thought they were with daddy!" ::side eye:: the dad was talking a walk around the property
Mine was actually pretty fantastic since we got to get out of town for a couple of days to my favorite city!
Thursday night I went to the H's playoff game, which they lost but at least his team made it to the 3rd round of the state playoffs which is still pretty good! Caught up on my AI shows after that.
Friday we did all the housechores needed to leave the house in good shape then packed up the car and headed out to Austin to stay with our friend for the weekend. Just grilled out a bunch of fajitas and enjoyed his pool that night while having drinks.
Saturday we did the TX Dog Walk with Missus and her friend to try and set some Guinness Records, the weather was absolutely beautiful and all of our doggies got along really well! In the afternoon we met up again with PiLife and her H for some drinks, and then later in the evening we met up with my bestie and some folks at The Salt Lick for some famous BBQ that definitely hit the spot.
Sunday started with some relaxing and pool time, more visiting with friends, and then eventually driving back home to end the weekend with a house full of tired dogs and owners. This morning sure did come around really quick but it was a nice full weekend for us!
Really didn't do much. It was a normal weekend for me. Saturday a friend of mine came over and did my hair. That night I watched a movie with my neighbor. Mike was gone for the night. Sunday just did laundry and cleaned and we went out to eat. Boring weekend.
I had a pretty good one.
Friday- I had drinks and sushi with some friends. (it's becoming a tradition, I think) then just hung out at my place afterwards.
Saturday- I had a lot to do in the house so after sleeping in till almost 1, I did some house work and some papers. H came home and took me out to a nice restaurant downtown, then we went to Tom Lee Park and walked along the Mississippi River. Super sweet.
Sunday - I finished cleaning our bathroom(s) and doing the laundry (whew!). After that we bummed around the house and watched a bunch of silly movies. I just saw Tron for the first time. I thought it ended up being a great movie!
*Note: GLW, you can wield a machete like nobody's business during a zombie apocalypse in my dream. I had other nesties in this dream but you stood out. It was crazy.
LOL- Sweet!!
Mine was good-- Friday we went downtown for hubcap margaritas, then met the ILs at a sushi place for dinner. Then we went to our friends' house and had a great time drinking way too much scotch.
Saturday I had to get up really early to leave for Philly and fought my hangover until I got a few mimosas in me. Spent the day helping my friend get wedding stuff done, then drove back home and six friends came over for drinks and card games.
Yesterday we went to the ILs for brunch, then I took a nap while they went to mass. Then we all went to MH's aunts house for a huge dinner and bocce ball.
Friday H cheered me up with good food. mm crab!
Saturday H worked on the hot rod. We ran around getting parts for it at various places and got some in the mail too. H was happy even though it was the stuff for the engine and not the body like he hoped. I don't think we're selling it this weekend, which is fine. I really didn't wanna walk around in the hot Texas heat and look at cars lol. Saturday night we did what we call County Road Crusin' and tried getting lost. We did a huuuuuge circle and ended up going down the same road twice lol. It was a lot of fun.
Sunday we just chilled at my parents house for great food. Unfortunately, my brother's wife's twin sister was there with her two kids (which made 4 bratty kids in total. Yuck). We threw water balloons at them though which was funny. I was surprised the little princess of the group didn't beg us to stop. Her mom did, because 'I'm wearing white and someone will owe me a new phone'. Oh she also told my brother, who is in Arizona, that his phone call during the basket hunt ruined the video she was making. I wanted to fcking slap her. After that, we went to the inlaws and ambushed them with water balloons. Then we had a massive war, in which my BIL got me in the knee and wrist (huge bruises on both) and we were all pooped after that. Then we settled down and I settled into a migraine and my nephew started screaming because his mom ate the rest of his Popsicle. I swear. I hate when kids do that. Then we came home and relaxed..I'm sunburned and so is H.
Mine was good;
Friday: had off work and the hubs worked a half day. Cleaned the house, then we went away for the weekend to a lake side retreat about 2 hours away. Got there, checked in, went to dinner then just chilled the rest of the night.
Saturday: got up went to breakfast, explored some of the local shops, then we went hiking in a local state park. Went out to lunch then went back to the room to take a nap. Then went to another state park and walked around a bit, then went to dinner and then chilled in the room.
Sunday: got up and checked out, drove home, unpacked, then went to my sisters for Easter dinner. Ate a ton of food, came home, watched tv, went to bed!
ugh, still with the migraines? I'm sorry they keep coming back, I hope you can figure it out soon.
BOO to all the BRE moments, but YAY for all the good stuff so far!
SS, I love hearing about nestie dreams, those are the best!
Ha! I had a bunch of nesties, in this one. There was plenty of questionable things that went on. I know you found booze and grilled steaks!
Friday- Had the day off, so I slept in, went to Zumba, then headed to Austin to have dinner with my mom, brother, sister, and mom's husband.
Saturday- Woke up bright and early after a shoddy night's sleep for the dog walk with OPS, which was a great time! The weather was absolutely perfect, couldn't have asked for better. After the walk, I we met up with Pi and her DH for drinks, then I drove the 2 hours home after a little nap. DH's only day off is Sunday, so I tried to stay up and hang with him that night, but I was just too tired and I crashed around midnight.
Sunday- Slept in a bit, drove to meet his parents for lunch, picked up our new truck (DH needs it for his new job, he's been borrowing his dad's for months) and after we got home I laid out and read for a while. Our neighbor gave us tickets to this Bluebonnets and Bluegrass festival in town that we hadn't considered going to because A) tickets were $30/ea and
We didn't realize they had a bar. It was fun and the beer was good, but I wouldn't have paid for it, so I'm glad we were given the tickets. That closed at 10pm, so we went back to our place afterward to drink some more- which ended up being a bit too much because I'm dragging today.
We went to bed at about 2 and around 3:30 I wake up to the sound of the dog vomiting, which I've never seen him do before, so I clean that up and get back in bed. Minutes later, he does it again, and again... 3 more times he pukes and so now I'm trying to decide if I need to take him to the emergency vet or what. By now it's 4:30, I'm drunk, I'm worried, I'm googling.... I got him to drink some water and go back to sleep, and he seemed fine this morning. He must have ingested something toxic to puke that much.
I think my favorite part was playing Clue and watching Criminal Minds with DH last night.
Oh no! Did he have some of the free treat givaways from Saturday and maybe they made him sick? I know there were some all over the ground while we were walking back to the car, ours were eating stuff off the ground a few times but luckily ours didn't get sick. I hope he's better today so you don't have to worry or go get him treated!
My weekend was really good, and relaxing.
Friday--I hung out around the house while the repair tech replaced our A.C. unit
. Then Friday night my H and I went to happy hour, got dinner, and then went over to a neighbor's house for a bachelor night, complete with two strippers. It was interesting to say the least.
Saturday we worked a bunch on the backyard, and then went to dinner and bowling with another couple.
Sunday we worked more in the backyard, then went to my parent's house for BBQed ribs and corn on the cob. And then when we got home, one of our neighbors knocked on our door (around 9pm) to see if they could borrow our pressure washer, because there was blood all over their doorstep, because another neighbor had cut themselves and was bleeding profusely. (The neighbors asking for the pressure washer had been out of town for Easter, so the bleeding neighbor ended up at another neighbor's house, and he called 911.) Fun times.
He only puked up what we gave him last night, which wasn't too much because he did eat so much crap on Saturday. I let him play with the neighbor's dog yesterday afternoon, and then last night he mentioned that he'd treated his yard- and Miko threw up some grass- so I'm wondering if he ingested some of the weed killer while eating some of that grass? I can't wait to go check on him when I go home for lunch... I've been googling more and I'm freaking myself out. If he's thrown up again or anything else, I'm taking him straight to the vet. Nothing like this has ever happened with him
I hope he is okay and that his stomach is just unsettled, and nothing major is wrong with him!!
Not a very exciting weekend for me.
Friday: I went shopping after work with some co-workers. That was fun but I was home by 6:30pm. I bummed around the house a bit and decided to go to T.J.Maxx browsed around, got bored, grabbed some Taco Bell and went home.
Saturday: Went to a cheese festival with a friend. It was fun but not as cool as I expected. Then I went downtown to Pike Place to enjoy the nice weather and grab some flowers. Went to a quick dinner with friends and came home. I rented the movie Young Adult...not impressed.
Sunday: I washed the windows, cleaned out the fridge and gave it a good scrub, then filed and paid our taxes. Fun times.
Much ado about nothing.
Friday- nothing
Saturday- My bestie came down from Milwaukee and we hung out. The night ended sour because of her boyfriend.
Sunday- relaxed at home. Made Mexican quesadillas with queso fresco and guac.
So, nothing special. I stayed away from the IL's even though they wanted to see us.
I love queso fresco as much as I love queso seco, so basically a lot.
OPS, I've grown used to them, just like the knee pain I have. I just get numb to it lol
Ugh, Monday
I went on vacation and finally catching up on posts. Not a very exciting weekend.
