Weekend Updates

Re: Weekend Updates
Friday - worked late, almost got creamed by the escalator read here, packed.
Sat - went to some garage sales, packed a lot more, watched the Blind Side - loved the movie, took a nap
Sun - Ran errands, bought new locks for our house, found a great rug for the house at a great price, packed a lot more, laid by the pool.
It was a great weekend!
Friday - got the call about the dates for our walk thru and settlement. went to the house to measure windows but the workers were still there so we had dinner and tooled around instead. Then after dark we were able to go to the house worker-free. Headed home, stopped by one of the kids houses' so DH could drop off his radar gun (baseball) ended up stuck there for like 1 1/2 hours. Came home and finally got to relax with my wine that'd I'd been thinking about all week.
Saturday - DH had a game. I relaxed in the AM. Got my hair done then got to work around the house. Packing/laundry/cleaning/whatnot. Nothing uber exciting. Hung out at the neighbors for a couple hours Saturday night.
Sunday - went by the house to snag some pictures of the progress. Then home to clean the garage to prove to MIL that all the stuff in there was not ours. We had some, but it went into ONE box. She was disappointed to realize she would still have so much crap when we moved (it's all FIL car crap that he swears he needs haha). After that I did some more packing but I ran out of energy and was in bed by 9. that part was awesome
Friday - DH and I went to the mall with SIL, BIL, MIL and nieces. Youngest niece got her ears pierced for her birthday so we did that and then ate.
Saturday - Went to Target for some birthday earrings, then to Old Navy for DH some shorts, had lunch at Chipotle with the ILs and then went to niece's birthday party. Went to a friends house to hang out with our buds and at pizza.
Sunday - Met my mom for lunch, did a little shopping, went to a baby shower, and then home for dinner and a little TV with DH.
(Super lame of me - I was in bed by 9:30 every night.)
Friday we went out to a great burger place and then to a concert. It was very mellow, but we enjoyed it.
Saturday we took our old TV to a recycling event at a nearby university. It's nice to finally have that monster gone. Then I came home, worked out, took a shower and got ready for our CW's wedding. It was fun overall, but the room was really cramped. There was also this REALLY drunk guy that was trying to hit on one of my CWs. And not only was he drunk, he was creeeepy. We did manage to laugh about it a lot though.
Sunday we met up with a CW/friend and another CW for lunch. Went to the grocery store and then I was lazy. I was sooo tired.
Fri - Pruned the heck out of my orange tree, received several hurtful text messages from someone called my father, realized that my youngest sister has been lying to me, called my mom and had a good one on one talk, and realized that I'm the only one supporting my mom since the divorce. All 3 of my sisters have sided with my dad and the other woman, I refuse to acknowledge this woman exists since he cheated with her for 2 years before divorcing my mom. I'm completely hurt and betrayed by the youngest sister, and she is yet to call me and explain her side. Eric cheered me up by surprising me with a new netbook...it's so nice to have a laptop that works!!!
Sat - Cleaned house, had some friends come over for a nice cuban dinner, we rock band'd the night away! It was nice to have friends over. (My original plans of hosting a family bbq didn't pan out - so I invited my friends who always come!)
Sun - Nice Sunday brunch at one of our fave places, grocery shopping, and cleaned up house again, and Eric rode his bike and cheered me on while I was running. My half-marathon next weekend will be great, I'm actually getting excited about it. I'm not the fastest or best runner, but I'm doing it. That's all that matters to me.
*Weekend lesson - You don't choose your family, but you choose your friends. I'm glad I have great friends and a wonderful husband that love me.
I am so sorry about the family!!!!!
I'm sorry Krystal. Family really sucks sometimes. My dad cheated on my mom throughout my childhood and when my mom finally kicked him out he moved right in with his girlfriend. So I totally know how you feel. Feel free to call me if you ever want to vent about whats going on. I've been there, done that!
Friday-Studied with my friend. Had a long, but fun dinner with three of my girlfriends.
Saturday-did stuff around the house. Took a nap (they don't mess around when they say the first tri is tiring!!) Went to dinner for our anniversary
Sunday-Hung out with the IL's, went home to do some cleaning around the house. Tried to take a nap, but couldn't because my dogs wouldn't stop barking. IL's took us to dinner for our anniversary.
Krystal, I am so, so, so sorry to hear about your family troubles. It breaks my heart to think of how awful of a situation you have. Lots of hugs being sent your way!
Friday- running around, errands to get ready for Liam's party. Squeezed in a pedi though, which was awesome.
Saturday- Liam's birthday party! It was a lot of fun, even though we had several people flake at the last minute (one being Michael's bro and wife, which really shouldn't surprise me by now). Liam had a blast though, and that is what matters!
Sunday- drove around to look at houses. We rrreeaallllyyy want to move!
Krystal- I am so sorry about your family drama.
saturday: did some stuff around the house, went to my grams, then we had a friends barbq/housewarming to go to. funtimes.
sunday: we went to visit SIL and the new baby! He's so precious. He's doing well. She's having a few setbacks but one day at a time! Then I rant tj back to another med-express cause he ran out of pain meds and needed something to get him thru to thurs for his appointment. he's eating vicodin like candy and its not touching the pain. :-( then we lounged the rest of the evening.
i couldn't agree with this more. so sorry you're going thru this krystal. :-(
FRIDAY- we had 2 vball games
Saturday was opening day at the track! I had a blast as usual and I lost as usual but if I must say I was lookin pretty d@mn hot!! lol
Then we met up with my 2 bff's and we to a dance party thing at a studio...omg I am in freakin love with dancing!! This older guy danced with me a lot of the night and it was awesome, his wife was trying to help Paul bc it just wasn't clicking for him. He sees how happy it makes me so he isn't giving up!
Sun I laid in bed pretty much ALL DAY LONG!!! It was great! Around 5 I went to his parents for a fabulous dinner!
