Tell me about your weekend
Was it a good one? Mine was!
On Saturday, I played with ESD and imoan all day and it was so fun. I am happy to be able to consider them both friends.
Sunday, DH and I went to a climbing wall and stayed long enough to ensure muscle soreness today. Then we grabbed a late lunch and spent the evening sitting on the couch reading.
Aaaaand it's still sunny today! Can you believe it? That's like 3 whole days in a row. wow.
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
Re: Tell me about your weekend
It was a good weekend.
My mom and I went to a bridal show and got some good ideas, tasted some good food and got to get our pictures taken together in a photobooth that was set-up at one of the vendors.
My life has become consumed with wedding stuff and now I'm in full anxiety mode!
Great weekend!
Saturday I (obviously) hung out with Muddled and ESD and it was rockin'. By the way guys- I got home and H was like "I was starting to wonder if I was going to have to bail you out". However, when I got home he was sprawled across the entire bed and snoring his azz off. So he was apparently VERY concerned for my welfare.
Sunday H and I hung out all day. We watched a bunch of this awful/awesome show called "My Big Redneck Vacation". Then I had Gilmore girls on in the background while I read Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
My weekend was good, Friday night we relived our "first date" at the same mexican restaurant where we had it three years (tonight actually) ago. Then we came home and drank wine and watch episodes of the Office - same as our first date. We're kind of lame!
Saturday we spent most of the day working on the save the date layouts for the front side of the book w/ the information. I think it looks pretty good! We still have to work on the backside/picture layout. I cut all the cardstock for the base though. We went to a friend's big (100+ people) dinner on Saturday night.
Yesterday was a lot of errands and doing things around the apartment. Overall it was nice.
Saturday I went to a SO GTG (lunch and wine-tasting), then did some shopping on the way home. Or, well, attempted to do some shopping.
Sunday I accompanied the Goblin King in his search for a new car. He found one he semi-liked, but nothing that's worth the expense yet.
I didn't unpack a single box all weekend, so the house is still cluttered. FAIL.
Friday night DH and I went to dinner at a fancy-ish restaurant. It was delicious -- bacon raviolo with ricotta as an appetizer!
Saturday started off the rest of the weekend. :-
FIL's birthday was Friday, so we went up to the ILs' house this weekend. MIL didn't plan anything to celebrate FIL's birthday, didn't even get him a cake, and was hassling us when we wanted to get him a cake on our way to pick up the pizza he'd ordered. Also because of MIL and her inability to function like a normal person, we didn't go to "lunch" with them yesterday until 4pm.
Saturday evening MIL started talking about our wedding for some reason and how everyone we invited showed up. However most of my family was unable to attend because they live far away (mostly NJ) and couldn't travel for various reasons. I was trying to explain she was wrong (we invited ~2x as many people as attended) but that things worked out, despite none of my grandparents being there, but she kept interrupting. It ended up bringing up a difficult memory for me and so I excused myself for the rest of the night.
DH didn't handle this part well, he took my crying as a negative mark on our wedding. Those of you who are FB friends, he's the one who non-apologized. He finally gets it and is supportive. I still want to get on a plane to NJ and go spend a good week+ with my grandma.
The best/worst part is that work has been stressful, difficult, all-around draining all month and I really needed a relaxing weekend. At least DH made me a margarita once we finally got home.
My weekend was wicked low-key, family time, walking the dog, going out for hot chocolate with the little dude, that sort of thing. I did my taxes and organized some of my clothing and realized I need to get rid of at least 1/3 of the clothing I own.
Aaand, a friend of mine who is a photog (who did my just-for-fun shoot last fall) suggested we do a boudoir shoot sometime soon. For free. Umm yes!! I have been wanting to do this for a while, for some reason.
Weekends with the in-laws are always so stressful. A good margarita can fix almost anything. I think he should give you a good massage too.
