How was your weekend?

Who went to Art Prize?

What did you accomplish this weekend?

What are you hoping to accomplish in the week ahead?

Welcome to Monday.  Big Smile

Re: How was your weekend?

  • I am exhausted from my weekend!  At 1st I was bummed I had this week off work (found out Thurs. so too late for plans) but now I am pumped!  I have so much work around the house to do!

    My parents came to visit TH-Sat.  It was good, except they kept pointing out things we need to do to the house before we put it on the market and it kept stressing me out.   Friday we went to Mejier Gardens (gosh I am going to miss that place!).  I have to say though I was a bit disappointed by the artprize exhibits there.

    Then, a few hrs after my parents left, my little bro and his gf showed up for the rest of the weekend.  It was great to see everyone, but entertaining can be exhausting. 

     

    As for my to do list this week. . . it is huge! lol  Today I want tackle my closet and get a bunch of stuff together to send to good will.  I also want to figure out how I can get more paint so I can do touch ups this week.  I just realized the cans the builder left have no names on them!

  •  No Art Prize for me,  too busy!

     OMG.  What a weekend.  We went to a house warming party for one of Nick's friends on Saturday, and it got a little crazy so we left.  The rest of the evening was spent watching football.  Sunday we went to the Omlette Shop for breakfast (yum!) and then Nick started cutting trim for the bathroom.  We got our vanity/top in (but not installed quite yet) to see what it looks like and it's awesome.  I'm so excited.  I put a coat of color on the walls last night (FINALLY).  It's starting to come together. 

    This weekend will be more bathroom crap.  We hope to have everything major installed (vanity, tanity top, light, mirror).

  • I made to ArtPrize yesterday evening. We mainly saw the outside ones because everything else closed early on Sunday, we did get about 20 min in the Public Museum. There is a really cool Mermaid made out of toothpicks there. I think we will go back to spend more time there. I impressed SS when shopping at Meijer, when I made our bill go down from $52 to $38. I have my meal plan done for the week, which is the first time in weeks I've been able to do and next week only needs two more meals. Hopefully I can keep to it. We are getting closer to being able to paint our living room ( color chosen!) and we peaked under are carpet and found the hardwood floors in really good condition. Woo Hoo.

  • My weekend was pretty good. I got my fastest time ever in the race on Saturday. It was the first time I've finished a 5k in under 30 minutes. I also got to see my see my one year old nephew.
  • Weekend was good. Friday we went up North to hang with Andy's extended family.  Saturday we went East for the wedding of a Belligerent Camper, which was of course a blast.  Sunday, Andy got the cold that hit me last week.  Kind of a bummer because we had planned to wander GR to see ArtPrize.  Instead I nursed him back to health with some homemade chicken noodle soup and got chores done around the house.

  • Mine was a busy weekend. Friday I did some laundry and went to a friends house for a while. Saturday I went to the movies and dinner with some friends as an early birthday gift. Sunday I cleaned and went to another friends house. Tonight I have to run to another friends house to drop something off. It never stops.

  • I went to ArtPrize for hours on Friday but the actual weekend was uneventful.  I changed the oil in both of our cars.  Yahoo.  It had to be done though.  After our fantabulous overnight in downtown GR last weekend, this one could only pale in comparison.  DH outdid himself and that will be a hard weekend to ever out do.
  • I worked on Saturday (that's what I get for being unmotivated during the week, I guess), and Sunday we went to ArtPrize.  We only had a couple of hours, though, so we mainly looked at the big outdoor stuff.  We're hoping to make a day of it next weekend to see a lot more.  I was having a horrible time trying to vote with my phone - it wouldn't let me sign in.  Hopefully I can figure out what's going on with that before we go back.
