How was your weekend?

Not necessarily a full-recap, but did you do anything fun or interesting? Are you working on any big projects right now?

Re: How was your weekend?

  • We went camping at north Padre Island and had a blast.  I'm way sunburned despite my best efforts, but it was still a great time.

  • I made lots of cookies, cake balls (for a nestie) and cakes! :) It was fun! Saturday after I finished delivering, I spend all afternoon on the Guadalupe River. It was so much fun. I forgot to put sunscreen on my legs so I am in pain now! Quite sunburned. :(
  • Our baseboards were finally finished Saturday after havin them replaced with our new floors. So I spent much of the weekend cleaning and putting furniture back in place.
  • I 2nd shot a wedding this weekend near Houston on Saturday (10 hours of shooting, 5 hours of driving), then on Sunday I ran my first 5K (the Bun Run) and made it without stopping to walk.  Then we had brunch with friends, took a nap, our annual neighborhood picnic in the afternoon, and a concert at Stubb's (Tallest Man on Earth) last night (didn't start until 11pm). 

    I'm exhausted!  We're going to Marfa, TX this weekend to hopefully see the Marfa Lights.

  • Awesome.

    We came down to Austin, did some volunteer work out at Mary Moore Seabright (or whatever) park... shoveling mulch for the trails and helping build fences, then had lunch outside downtown and I got a 2-hour massage at milk + honey, had dinner with my parents, and then met up with friends at Red's Porch for beers.  Sunday we met up with friends at flip happy crepes (YUM) and headed out of town... AND the dogs slept the whole way home which was awesome.

    Perfect weekend.

  • Yay!

    Thanks for maintaining Austin, AB06.  Glad you could come down from Dallas to take care of our dirty work.  ;)

    I went to the most awesome backyard concert Saturday night.  Apparently a couple around the corner has concerts every few weeks in their backyard just for fun!  And I met a super-cool/ talented artist.

    Sunday I painted my entryway copper.  I may be in over my head though bc after doing some research, the metallic finish I bought is going to be a total PITA to apply.  I hope it turns out well!

  • Went to a wedding that took up most of Saturday. It was fun. Mostly I loved it because DH got to drive in to town for a bonus night Smile So Sunday we stayed home all day and relaxed, enjoyed the sunny day, grilled, watched movies ... all in all, a great weekend!
  • We took the boys to a Thomas the Tank Engine event up in Baltimore.  So much fun!!!  Daniel stood in awe of Thomas (real train size, with steam and everything) when he first saw him, and the huge grin he wore all day long made the whole outing more than worthwhile.

  • Mine was great! I was productive with schoolwork and also finished sewing three pairs of curtains on Saturday night while DH was out playing poker with his man friends. I listened to the oldies station on Uverse and sang along while sewing.

  • AustinMimi - I think my DH came by your store on Saturday looking for vinyl. :)

  • Mine was pretty good.  Did makeup for a wedding on Saturday and then worked the rest of the weekend on my blog, website, and emails for a seminar at my studio.  So, mostly work. :)  But I did get to have an impromptu date with DH Sat night at Vivo North.  It was LOVELY.
  • We went to a family reunion in Dallas. It was totally awesome getting to see all my extended family (most live in Georgia and Connecticut)--we only get to see them all once every few years. And YAY for them all getting to meet DD for the first time! And she was a total champ the entire weekend dealing with being pretty much off her routine and constantly surrounded by craziness. But even so, being around 20+ other people all day every day got tiring by the end. We had a GREAT time and were still really glad to be coming home.
