weekend recap

how was everyones weekend?

mine included lots of relaxation, cleaning, drinking (lots), and a 31 party!

what about you? anything good planned for this week?

Re: weekend recap

  • My weekend was not even remotely relaxing, haha!

    I spent most of the day Saturday cleaning/priming/sanding/wiping down/painting 2 out of our 4 living room tables (the 2 biggest: the coffee table and a corner end table); I finished painting them Sunday afternoon. I still need to clear coat them tonight, and I'm excited to see how the final product looks. It's my first time painting furniture.

    I also worked Sunday for 3 hours promoting Absolut Blood Mary's (they host a "Best Bloody in America" contest every fall, and we go around to the bars that have a recipe entered in the contest). After we finished at the second bar, I plunked down and enjoyed (about half) of one of their Bloody Mary's; it was too spicy for me to drink the whole thing!

    After finishing up painting yesterday, I grabbed a shower, cleaned the kitchen, and did a couple of loads of laundry. Phew! Exhausting! Other than getting up early, I think I'll get to relax more sitting at work than I did being home all weekend!

  • @LuckyAngel07 what inspired you to paint your furniture?!
  • It wasn't bad. Friday night was a high school football game and frozen yogurt. Saturday was staying in my pjs until 5 and watching college football all day. Yesterday I read for a class and watched some tv. Not terribly exciting, but I wasn't up for doing much else.

    All our tables were yard sale/freebie scores. Thus, the woods didn't match and weren't my taste. We have a dark espresso entertainment center and shelves from Ikea, so I wanted to tie the end tables and coffee table in to that. So the tops of the tables are getting a dark espresso color and the bottoms of the tables will be a lighter almond shade that sort of matches the tops of our walls above the chair rail.

    I wasn't brave enough to go with a bright accent color for the tables; guess I'm kinda boring that way!

    no, I think that sounds fantastic! not boring at all.

    if you were to paint them a bright color you'd just want to repaint them in a couple of years anyways

  • Happy Monday, ladies! My weekend was nice; nothing too exciting...

    Breakfast with H's parents Saturday morning because they were heading back to FL Sunday (snow birds).  Then MIL took us to Macy's and bought us all of our every day dishes, since we didn't get any forthe wedding. We tried to refuse; they paid for the rehearsal dinner and bought us a small gift already. She insisted. Score! Then we headed to our friends' housewarming party for a few hours.

    I'm still feeling pretty crummy, so I spent most of Sunday on the couch while DH cleaned and did laundry. Then we went food shopping because I just had to get out of the house.  Since AF is supposed to come today I wasn't sure if I should buy tampons or a HPT. I bought tampons because I'm still playing head games with myself and didn't wanna jinx anything.  I will test on Wed if AF is nowhere to be seen (I would test sooner, but my stepson is with us until Wed and I really want this to be a private moment, no matter what the outcome is).

  • This weekend we re-did the sidewalks coming out of our house, a portion of our porch that had cracked, and poured a new patio. Then my dad and I put a new roof on our wrap around porch. It was nice to get all of these projects done, but I'm exhausted and sore. Yesterday afternoon consisted of some icyhot and a nap.

  • Saturday, I went to one of the outlet malls nearby to get a vest for my sister. She called me Friday night to look for her because it is sold out online and all the outlet malls near her. Since I was already at the outlet mall, I did some shopping for myself! I also made dessert for Sunday and watched football with DH.

    Sunday, it was church, getting out my fall decor, grocery shopping and group night, my brownie popcicles were a hit!

  • @luckyangel07 - Post pictures when you are done.  that sounds like a fun project! 

    As for bloody Mary's, this should be the best Bloody Mary, hands down.

    My weekend consisted of football.  We drove 3 hours to see my college team play Saturday.  Got home Sunday and had an epic cooking session making all the meals for the week, while watching the Cowboys whoop some butt!  Not relaxing, but all fun!

    I had every intention of taking before photos...and then I got caught up in getting started, and they never happened...oh well. I'll definitely take "after" pics though!

    That Bloody Mary just looks freaking ridiculous! Holy hell! Way too much for me to handle (I'm still a novice Bloody Mary drinker).
