What'd everybody do this weekend?

Anything fun?

Re: What'd everybody do this weekend?

  • packing! Stick out tongue
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I went to Ikea for the very first time. It was sort of overwhelming, but I loved it! We got a coffee table and a chair. It took 2 hours to get there (from Chico) so it was a fun little road trip!
  • Nothing really fun. We did some yard work: lots of digging to install some pipes, to improve the rain water draining. Hopefully, we won't have to sweep flooding water out of the garden, in the middle of the night, during the next rain season.
  • Yeah, we didn't do much that was fun either. I got the rest of the pictures on the walls and put the rest of the stuff away. We made a list of stuff to pack. I did a little preparing for this interview I may go to tomorrow. I may cancel it at this point. It's right in the heart of Watts and while I'm all about working with less fortunate students I'm not sure I want to fight gun fire on a regular basis. I didn't realize that when I applied for it.
  • This weekend flew by! I had yummy Indian food lunch with friends and did some retail therapy Saturday. Had dh take me out in my new skirt. Today just worked around the house. Sanded the desk I'm refinishing.

    The weather was so yucky and humid today, which is unusual for us.

    It rained here this morning! Needless to say, it was HUMID afterward! I did some retail therapy, too. I got new PJs and sunglasses on Fri. evening.
  • Friday was not a fun day as we attended my grandfather's funeral.  His death was not a surprise, but it's still emotional.  He was my last grandparent to go and I was very lucky to have him and my grandmother as long as I did.

    Saturday I did some much-needed weeding in the yard.  Later in the day DH and I played volleyball with some friends.

    Yesterday I had brunch with my family and we went to check out a weekly local fair called the SOWA (South of Washington St.) Open Market.  Then we prepped the house for MIL's visit starting tomorrow (i.e. cleaned up some of our crap Stick out tongue).

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • We had a Tools for Labor class on Saturday, then ran errands and had a relaxing night at home.  Sunday we steam cleaned carpets, painted the crown moulding in the baby's room, took a nap and then went for a huge river walk last night.

  • Friday night we went to see Cowboys & Aliens with H's family. I despise alien movies, which was only confirmed after that, and I told H that he was the first responder if I had nightmares (I didn't.).

    Saturday we went to see Wizard of Oz as performed by the summer camp kids at Stage Kids CA, a musical theater arts academy where I teach voice during the year. It was adorable and many of my students were in it, so that was fun.

    Yesterday we came back to our apartment after house sitting for my mom all week. We went grocery shopping and I got coffee with a friend, and then H and I just hung out at home. 

  • My Mil was here and it was a nice visit. We did some local wine tasting on Saturday and found a new favorite winery. Sunday, we did some errands and worked in the yard. It was a relaxing weekend but I was almost glad to get back to work. It can be hard being with T and his mom. They have kind of a weird relationship and it stresses me out sometimes to be the buffer.
  • It was a great weekend.  Friday night dh and I bbq'd and watched a movie.

    Saturday DH and another couple friend went up to Donner Summit to a CalRock event.  It's a big rock crawling competition.  We got to watch lots of rigs flip over and do some crazy moves.  Then we went to another couple friends house for pizza/beer and movie night.

    Sunday we hung out around the house, got a few chores done and then I went shopping while the hubs worked on his jeep.

  • I spent a long weekend with my best friend in Southern California. Good food, good drinks, met her new boyfriend. It was fun. But I was still glad to come home to my doggie and the Bay Area  :)
  • Rock-n-Voll - I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather... ::hugs::
