Weekend recap - How was yours?
Slow board today...
Mine: pretty busy with kid stuff.
Knotts Berry Farm, playdates, Opening Day for baseball, and working on school projects...
Cant wait to hear about everyones date recaps 
Re: Weekend recap - How was yours?
Friday night: wine and dinner with my friend at her house while the two kiddos played (they are only five months apart).
Saturday: running and brunch with two besties. P went to a b-ball game with XH.
Saturday night: dinner/dance and avoiding creepy stalker dude. Night ended on a high note though because I made out with a cute cowboy!
Sunday: relaxing day with DS: I was tired so he and I napped together. XH had DS for a four hour visit that afternoon so I studied.
It was a fun weekend but I'm exhausted!
Friday night - relaxing and catching up on Glee after "hell on earth week"
Saturday night - dinner and scary movie with K
Sunday morning - break up with K (I think...? - hard to tell when someone just walks out without even saying goodbye
)
Today - going to a rally at the Governor's mansion in support of repro rights.
Today is *hopefully* going to help make up for the craptasticness that was last week.
"You don't get to be all puke-face about your kid shooting your undead baby daddy when all you had to do was KEEP HIM IN THE FLUCKING HOUSE, LORI!" - doctorwho
It was one for the memory books, that's for sure!
Friday night I went to the hospital with my parents to see my new nephew, who had just been born. L and his DD met us up there too. It was such an awesome night, and I was glad they were there to share it with me!
Saturday L, his DD and I went out to lunch and shopping at the mall, and L made us dinner later that night. Sunday we went ice skating.
Really good! I'm leaving for a cruise with my family on Wednesday, so I kept it rather low key.
Friday: Movie and wine with best friend. In bed before 10 (this is unheard of for me).
Saturday: Slept in a bit, spent most of the day on a sewing project, went to lunch with a friend. In bed before 10 again!
Sunday: Up at 6:30 do to all of the sleep, cleaned the entire house, packed for my trip, laundry, shopping for trip, made dinner, watched the Oscars.
Emotionally, physically and mentally draining...
Friday - One of my BFFs and my old boss stayed over an extra day for me from the conference and I ran into a guy I have casually dated over the past year or so that morning before the conference ended. Nothing serious and he lives where I just moved from. He and I have been texting recently and he let me know how much he likes me and misses me. I asked if he wanted to stay over an extra night because we were all planning on going out. He agreed and we had a "double date" had dinner and went out for drinks after. We had so much fun and I didn't want him to leave and ended up telling him that I liked him more than the just casual relationship we had previously had, but I'm scared to get serious because we live 5 hours away from each other.
Saturday - My BFF and I had massages before she and my former boss left for home and I went home and slept most of the afternoon. Another friend was in town and wanted me to meet up with he and his friends. I was exhausted, but had agreed to take them around town the week before and hate to flake. I showered and met them out. They were a little drunky and annoying, but I took them to a few different bars when the guys decided they wanted to go to a men's club. I was fine with that, but my friend didn't want to go. He and I went to another bar and he decided he wanted to get all handsy and aggressive. He and I have never had a past and he had never made a move on me before so I just told him I didn't like him like that. He got extremely offended and started saying really rude things. We left the bar (I drove since he flew in and hadn't rented a car) and I was going to drop him at his hotel. The attitude continued and I told him I didn't appreciate it. He told me to stop the car and let him out, so I did. It was in a heavily populated area in an extremely nice part of town with easy access to cabs. He later texted me that I am the "worst person in the world..." I didn't respond and only feel semi-bad for kicking him to the curb, literally.
Sunday - I napped and did laundry. I had to recover from the conference and the rest of the weekend and didn't feel like having any social interaction, which is a rare feeling for me.
We had DS this weekend. Friday night dinner and frozen yogurt with ds and bf.
Saturday DS played with a friend down the street for a bit while bf and I attempted to clean out our garage a bit. We can almost fit a car in there again! We had a ton of stuff to go through after I moved in last month. Then we all went to lunch and then ds and I went to visit my parents.
Sunday the three of us went to breakfast and then ds and I met one of his friends and family at LACMA (art museum) to see this super cool cars exhibit.
Ugh, I wrote a reply and the Nest got hungry
Friday-stayed in, studied, drank wine and Nested.
Saturday-3rd date, dinner and drinks at a scotch bar. It was fun bc I'm getting into scotch. Afterwards we went to his place and fooled around and I discovered there is not enough chemistry. I need to tell him today.
Sunday--studied and went out for a drink with a friend. Ended up meeting some trashy guys and am currently blogging the insanity that unfolded.
Friday: chilled at home and caught up on TV shows.
Saturday: did a quick pick up of some things at the house XH and I still own so it could be cleaned professionally today. XH's brother and SIL are renting it from us and they are moving in next month. Then I met up with some friends to go wine tasting and had dinner out afterward. Home around 8:30pm and went to bed kind of early.
Sunday: BF and I were supposed to go see his friends who are in from out of town (and their 3 month old), but he's got a bad cold that he got from me (which I still have a few remnants of), so we skipped it. Just stayed home doing laundry and general house cleaning.
My weekend was incredibly quiet and remarkably unproductive -- but I really liked it.
Friday -- Watched Lifetime movies. Drank wine. Hugged cat.
Saturday -- Slept until 11. Watched 90210. Went to grocery store. Made dinner in crock pot. BF came over after his radio show. Ate dinner. Watched horrible movie. Stayed up until 7 a.m.
Sunday -- Woke up at 5 pm. Spent 35 seconds feeling like a degenerate, then got over it. Hit diner for "breakfast." Went home. BF went home. Talked to mom and dad. Watched Oscars, drinking wine, hoping it'd tire me out. Bed at 12:30.
I was a waste of space, and I liked it a lot.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Mine was the suck. I got a migraine late Friday, so I went to bed early (though that meant I was up at 6:30 on Saturday...ugggghhhh). Worked most of Saturday and Sunday on a project for work. Late Saturday I got some pretty terrible vertigo (stress-related) that lasted through this morning.
I demand a do-over.
DS is 17 months old and super active, he is quite a handful so mostly just him and I.
Friday ? I made a crock pot dinner for stbxh's parents. They do so much for DS so I had them over for dinner on Friday night (without the stbxh!)
Saturday - Took DS to jump house for the first time along with BFF. I always have a blast with her. Also went to McDonalds for breakfast. I had my hair cut and dyed but now I think my hair is way too short! I spent the rest of the evening with DS.
Sunday - Usual Church went to Bed Bath and Beyond to see if they accepted outdated coupons for my curtains/slipcover purchases from 2 weeks ago. They accepted all 7 coupons I had and I got $150 back! Yay!!! I just hanged out with my tornado style messy ds.
Friday: Casual dinner with BF and stayed in
Saturday: Spent 4 hours looking for bridesmaids shoes (took a detour to Lululemon), went out with BF and two other couples to the bars
Sunday: Worked on prepping for my trial, BBQ with BF and 2 other couples
Wheh! It felt like I didnt do much but I guess I did. Now Im on with no life for the next two weeks during my trial
Crazy busy, but good! I decided back around Thanksgiving that I wanted to host a T-giving dinner for my friends, but I wanted to do it a ways after T-giving so that everyone was un-sick of turkey. Well, Saturday was the day! I got to BF's around 5 pm on Friday and cooked for ~5 hours. Started cooking around 10 or 11 am on Saturday and finished all the prep work right as people walked through the door around 4. I made a huge feast (with LOTS of help from BF), and everyone loved the food and walked away stuffed! I did a good job prepping ahead of time, so I was pretty relaxed once people showed up, which was nice.
Had a lazy Sunday morning recovering (didn't get out of bed until 11!), then BF and I headed in to town for lunch and wandering around downtown. We finally got to see the erotic art exhibit that we were supposed to go to last weekend...it was only a few pieces, unfortunately, which was a bit of a letdown, but they were nice. Dance class, then leftovers for dinner at my house Sunday night.
Friday I sang karaoke with some girlfriends
Saturday D and I spent the day together and then he cooked me a fabulous dinner.
Sunday we hung out and had coffee at bookstore before I left.
Relaxing and fun!
Friday- caught up on the DVR, drank some wine
Saturday- had an afternoon coffee date. Guy was nice enough but zero spark. Met a friend I hadn't seen in a while at a wine bar, drank some wine, ate some fancy pizza.
Sunday- took my parents' dog for a nice long walk, then went downtown to meet a guy for drinks. We ended up having several drinks and a late-ish dinner. I'm not sure there was a ton of chemistry, but I'd definitely go out with him again. We might try to do something next weekend.
Saturday I finally got a new iPhone, my old one was beat to death... it didn't make any sound and the on/off button broke off. I ordered some cute cases for it that hopefully I'll get this week. Sat night my boy toy came over for some fun
Sunday I took my son to the zoo
Friday night, Mr. K and I played pool.
We "slept in Saturday morning, I had a soccer game and then Saturday evening I hung out with the dogs and cat. Saturday night Mr. K and I went out for a bit and played darts. Saturday we took our tri bikes out for 40 miles...
Last night went to grocery store, cleaned apt and took pups to the beach!
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
My weekend was very relaxing... It was the last weekend for me in Melbourne
Friday I went out for drinks with some friends from work and my aussie fwb/bf came over to my place after. We were pretty drunk and ended up having a pretty intense conversation about how we both misunderstood the others intentions at the begining and how we should have actually dated and had a real relationship instead of just being fwb... he stayed over the whole weekend and we watched all 3 lord of the rings movies..I have never watched them so it was a really long weekend and I kept falling asleep.
Sunday he cooked an amazing roast for me and I packed my suitcases.
He is going to come over the rest of the week and stay with me the last night I am here. He is a really sweet and nice person and I am so happy we spent the past few months together... he made me realize none of the guys I dated were really that nice to me and I deserve a lot more in my future relationship.
