Weekend Update
Yes I know I'm late....forgot to do it yesterday!
Re: Weekend Update
Friday- Dh and I had a few drinks at home
Saturday- I slept in and clean the house
Sunday- went to the gym and watched the super bowl and that was about it!
Let's see...Friday we went to the neighbors and hung out and watched it snow buckets.
Saturday we shoveled ALL day. The driveway twice (during and after), the backyard for the dogs to have a place to go potty, and all 4 cars. We ended up with about 31 inches of snow and we were stuck in the house.
Sunday we went to my parents to shovel them out before they got home. Then we went home to relax a bit before we headed to the neighbors for the Super Bowl!
Overall it wasn't a horrible weekend, but because of all the shoveling I didn't actually get anything productive done or any relaxing.
Saturday - had breakfast with Joe and Lo before he had to go to work, then Lo and I drove 30 minutes to go to Walmart. The walmart here is ghetto-fabulous !!
Sunday - breakfast again, then Joe took us shopping for V-Day gifts. We also bought Rockband just because and we're hooked. I stayed up waiting for him to get home last night so we could jam lol
Friday - DH made sauce and our good friend came over and had dinner
Saturday - DH shoveled, i painted a canvas for the kitchen, made some stuffed shells and had dinner over the IL's house, caught up on all my DVR.
Sunday - a whole lot of NOTHING.
Friday- we hung out and did nothing
Saturday- it snowed and we dug ourselves out
Sunday- layed around and watched TV and the Superbowl
Monday- went to pick up out new kitchen floor so Dave and my FIL and install it this weekend
Fri- I had a vball game and then hung out with Paul until the weee hrs of the morning and then Patrick had to call and get me all confused
Sat- I hit the gym, got my oil changed, me the ppl about my ring and then did nothing!
Sun- I did the normal grocery and cooking crap and then went to Pauls for the super bowl. We play couch volleyball over there...it is awesome! lol
Which one is the friend? Paul? Who is Patrick? Is Patrick the guy who keeps playing games?
I am confused on which guy you were spending so much time with over the weekend. lol
I feel like it is my monday...uhhhhhhhh, it was so hard to get up and go to work. I even forgot my coffee in the kitchen and drove away...I had to drive back home to get my coffee.
Fri - Flew up to SF, Alcatraz cruise (pretty cool), dinner (had the best organic fried chicken ever!), and WICKED. OMG...that show is amazing. I cried...and also because the guy sitting next to me was singing and humming along the ENTIRE TIME! soooo annoying and funny at the same time.
Sat: Drove to Napa, Olive Oil Tasting, Wine tasting at 2 or 3 wineries, and got these awesome organic cupcakes...it was a chocolate heaven! Also, winter time is the most beautiful time of the year in Napa, the mustard greens are everywhere and even though its a weed...its so pretty to see everywhere. Nap time for 3 hours or so...because I had been drinking since noon! Dinner at Bottega, which was amazing, didn't get to meet Michael Chiarello, but I met his look-alike! Salsa dancing at a local winery, too.
Sun: Breakfast at Bouchon Bakery...best almond croissants eva!!! Visited CIA, and got the tour of the amazing facility. I really wish I could go to school here, the campus is so beauitful. It overlooks the Charles Krug (son of Robert Mondavi) and Beringer vineyards. Lunch at the Greystone...samplings from the chefs there...were just amazing. Then met up with Becky to drive to Alicia's for Superbowl. Alicia has a beauitful home, funny friends especially Adam, the best man, cracked us up the entire time. Loved her future baby room, and her 3 adorable dogs.
Mon: Met up with our wedding photographers who recently moved up to Napa, had a great lunch with them, and I accidently said let's take a group picture outside..then my photographer goes and gets his equipment and proceeds with an impromtu shoot. It was very cute...I can't wait to see the pictures. Flew back home, and then met up with my spin family & friends for dinner.
I'm totally exhausted and working on loading the pictures from my trip.
AAHHAHA!! Sorry for the confusion Beck! Alrighty, Paul is the bff. He gets more of my time than prob anyone in my life. We are awesome together and always have a great time. Patrick aka "hottie" lol yes, he keeps playing games. Well, not really games, I know and understand where he is in not wanting a relationship but I pretty much broke him down this morning and told him where exactly my feelings were and what was going on with Paul...ummm, yeah, he ended up crying! So idk if he is getting ready to step up his game or what but he already asked me to go do something with him on fri!
Aren't you girls glad you're married! lol
Why was he crying? I thought he didn't want a serious relationship? If he wants one then step it up buddy and stop messing around with Brittany!!!! Maybe the April08ers need to come talk to this BOY!
Yes, I am glad I am married...but honestly it's nice to have someone in the group that isn't that we can live through. I love hearing about the boys....although I hate it when they hurt you. Then I don't find it entertaining.
Are you thinking maybe you want something with the BFF? Does he know you might have a change of heart?
Sorry a girl just needs to know!
He was crying bc the truth hurts!! lol I told him how much he had hurt me and he wasn't aware and I guess the fact that he now realizes that I am slowly slipping thru his fingers. He isn't really ready for a serious relationship but he said that he thinks that I am the perfect girl for him and I am the only girl that he has thought about a future with since his ex fiance (she cheated on him, he forgave her, and the b!tch did it again!) HAHA!! He needs someone to smack some sense into his hot @ss! lol
I've never really wanted to post any boy drama bc I know that all of yall are married but hey if you like it and you ask Im gonna tell! lol Especially if you get a giggle or two or have some good advice!
I have been thinking about the BFF a lot. We talk about marriage and kids like it is just everyday convo...it's crazy! Just when i start feeling him hottie does something to suck me back in. They both know about each other...I am a very honest girl...I am very conflicted right now.
TJ is in the dog house, so not a good day to ask if i'm glad to be married haha
friday night we cooked dinner in and relaxed, TJ just got back in town so we just caught up.
saturday, tried to see my dad again, and i couldn't get in but my mom and grandpa did. saturday night, black eyed peas was awesome! ludacris came out as a guest appearance and played for about an hour. i was dancing to "how low can you go" and the guy behind me was like "don't have your baby, lady!" LOL will.I.am freestyled for a long time off text messages sent to him by the audience - it was amazing. I sent him a text that said "will.I.am having your baby" and he read it, so funny. fergie was awesome and beautiful and apl.de.ap did an awesome DJ mix thing with lots of michael jackson and other fun music. good times!
sunday, we had a bunch of people over for the boys to play football in the park by our house and the girls to gossip and run after kids/doggies
then superbowl party at my mom's house which was a pregnant girls dream with all the yummy food. 
How come you couldn't get in? That is SUCH a bummer. When my brother first got arrested I went to visit him and because they hadn't put him in GenPop yet he couldn't have visitors. The he called meaning he was in GenPop but then he had a list and it took us about 3 weeks to finally get in and see him.
Have you seen him at all yet? If not, brace yourself and those preggo hormones. Its difficult to see them like that. My brother was in jail first so our first visits were behind glass that was harder I think because it was almost like seeing him in his cell cause it was a tiny little room with a locked door. When he got to his prison we visit in a big room now - the first time I saw him there I totally cried. It was also the first time we got to hug in over a year so it was a little emotional for me.
I don't know what his facility is like but with George we can't bring in anything back to the visiting room. They even take our keys. My mom tried to bring in a tissue one time and they made her throw it away. You can't even wear a watch in there. But its all for safety - ours and theirs. They might have rules posted on the internet somewhere so you can know ahead of time what you can and cannot wear/bring/do. We can bring nothing, wear clothing that covers us (aka no slutty clothes) and get 1 hug/kiss at the beginning and end of each visit (they're more lenient on that and I generally get a few extra).
This is going to be a big, ol' vent.
Friday - Flew down to FL, stayed with dad in hospital allll day. His surgery went well which was good to hear.
Saturday - Visited Dad in the morning then went to friend's daughter's 1st birthday party then went back to hospital for a while. Found out flight was canceled and rescheduled for Tuesday night.
Sunday - Ate some Super Bowl food then went to hospital with the rest of the family to watch the game with my Dad. Found out another storm was one the way to the DC area. Ugh.
Monday - Spent a few hours in the hospital with my aunt because she hurt her foot and it was gushing blood from under the nail. (My family is falling apart.) Thankfully she was okay, but they had to remove the nail.
Today - Check flight status every hour, on the hour. Find out office is closing early today and will be closed tomorrow. YAY. Find out flight is canceled again.. BOO!! I'm rescheduled for tomorrow night. I hope the office is closed again on Thursday and that my flight does not get canceled again. I'm not winter's biggest fan right now.
End of rant.
Saturdays-went to a sports bar and watched UFC 109 with some friends
Sunday-I baked red velvet cupcakes. DH was so unsure of them-cuz it was something new and he's scared of new things, but he loved them. We just stayed home we watched the superbowl off and on. It was a pretty relaxed weekend.
