How was your weekend?
Date updates (I already saw BK's)? Anything fun/exciting?
One of my CWs showed up to the dance that BF and I went to on Friday night, which was interesting. I didn't dance with the CW, but we did chat a bit. Saturday, BF and I spent most of the day deep-cleaning his house, then we had friends over for a cookout in the evening. Went out to brunch with BF's neighbors on Sunday morning, then relaxed most of the rest of the day. Dance classes in the evening.
Re: How was your weekend?
Pout. My date got cancelled (he had to work
), so Friday night was a wash - sauvignon blanc and chocolate for all! 
Saturday and Sunday ended up being largely a wash, as well, due to the salon fiasco. I spent 7+ hours there this weekend getting my hair colored, cut, and the color fixed.

I had a great weekend! Saturday was a big St. Patty's Day parade and I met up with my volleyball friends at 10am to start drinking. Had a blast with them and then met up with BR (wrote about him in my blog). As it turns out, the lack of chemistry between us was definitely nervousness and awkwardness of his part. Once we both got some booze in us (and after we had a tete a tete about it during the week), he was a lot less awkward and things were much better.
Yesterday I relaxed and napped. I think I'm either getting sick again or have terrible allergies. I sound like a frog and am super congested
And this is why dating people who don't drink won't work for me.
Glad you had a good time.
Also, in re: your blog, I TOTALLY have that same freakish ability. Never tried it to dissuade a creeper, though - might have to add it to my arsenal...

Weekend was great!
Saturday BF and I spent the day with dear friends of mine. They just bought a cottage on the lake so we drove down there to see it and then went wine tasting afterwards as they are in wine country. We then went out to a nice dinner.
Sunday we went to church then out to lunch with his family. Went grocery shopping then relaxed at home for a bit before getting some work done.

OMG BR told me I was doing it back at his place when I was drunk. Not only do I keep them away with my baybah, but apparently I try to impress them with it as well ::hangs head in shame:: He still wanted me though. Hm...
Sat I first ended up at the urgent care because I put off going to the doctor for 2 weeks just suffering through. I have a sinus infection which is the last thing I need right now. After I left there I went to the mall to get a free sample of a Elizabeth Arden ant-aging cream and bought a new bra. I'm so happy with this new bra purchase but not with the color choices. I think I'll look online to see if I can find more choices in colors.
Sunday I started a new weight loss supplement. You're suppose to take 2 doses, one at breakfast and the other is at lunch. I think i'll just stick to the lunch dose. One dose is worth 2 cups of coffee in caffine. After I took it yesterday I was like an energizer bunny from 1pm til about 11pm. I haven't had that much energy since before DS was born.
Sorry about the sinus infection, jaks - they suck! Hope you got some decent meds from UC, though, so you can kick it.
Mind if I ask what the supplement is? I have a friend who's been desperate for a little extra help, but with the hours she works she's so exhausted by the end of the day that making it to the gym isn't feasible.

Friday-stayed in and studied
Saturday-went to crossift, had a first date at a coffee shop (went well, we have a second date coming up), and then stayed in at night
Sunday-church, went to the Aeros Hockey game (they lost [:-(]), and then organized my closet!
How's the hair look? Are you happy with the final results? Sorry you had to go through all that! what a nightmare
I worked out with my new trainer for the 2nd time on Saturday... I'm still sore
Yesterday we went to the casino and I drank way too much free wine and ate at the buffet because I was drunk. Ugh. I am really trying to lose weight and that did not help. Need to hit the gym asap. I was up like $300 or so right away too but ended up breaking even. Hate that. At least I didn't lose and we got comped to the buffet. Oh and it was so yummy too!
JAKs and MCC, hope you feel better soon! Arbor, sorry the salon was such a pain--do you at least like the outcome, now?
Not enough time to do everything! Friday night, I went to a 20's/30's group thing, Saturday I volunteer to paint at a women shelter with an awesome group of people and spent the rest of the day with DS, Sunday went to church and tried "TRIED" to clean the house with a 17 month old. Not much was accomplished.
Here's what it looks like:
It's not exactly what I was looking for (color-wise) but it's a billion times better than what it was. And I think I actually like the cut, so...
Still not happy about all the time wasted (on a weekend, no less!) and with the attitude of the colorist. But, meh, it's just hair, right?

So insanely busy! BFF was in town so we did wedding stuff. I ran a four mile race with my friends on Sunday and beat my time from last year by over four minutes! I was exhausted though because I really overdid it trying to beat my friend's husband.
Sunday night had a great date with J, but little confused by the ending, so I posted about it above.
Crappy. I worked all weekend til Sunday, and it was beautiful out but i was so tired i just napped inside.
I woke up Sunday at like 3 in the afternoon, panicking because I was convinced it was monday morning and I was late for work, so I ran around the house and got halfway dressed before it set in that, hey, it's the weekend still...ok...
And I broke my thermostat and it was 82* in my apartment when I woke up, also lending to my confusion. [why is it monday morning and so hot in here and where are my pants what time is it?]
Then my dad called Sunday night and well-meaningly (but still crushing) chided me for not having my ish together bc for christs sake, 'you're a big girl now and you're my daughter, you can do anything! What are you even doing? '
Ugh. I want to go back to bed.
N.V. - I'm sure you've seen the ads with Holly Madison on them. It's only for 2 weeks then I think I'll look in to some natural suppelments that I can take for my metabolism.
It went well. We took Friday off of working out and went to Happy Hour, which turned into 5 happy hours! LOL.
Saturday, took the dogs to the beach, swam, went to bed early Saturday night.
Sunday, our 50 mile bike ride turned into a 59 mile bike ride.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
My weekend was great. Saturday Daughter-in-law and I played with our new Silhouette Cameo. Saturday night ballet function with Daughter which was great. Then we went out to the casino and I made a little money and got to play for a few hours.
Sunday was furniture shopping with Daughter and lunch out. I spend way to much money when I am home alone without Boyfriend.
Your haircut is great! I feel frustrated for you on the hair color but that is only because I knew what you wanted to acheive and you had a picture ready. But if I had not known what you were going for, both cut and color looks really good.
Hectic and crazy and I'm glad it's over!
My son's social life wears me out!
And the topper was the three hour IT exam I had to take last night for one of my b-school classes. I am a good test taker and that was the hardest test I have ever taken EVER.
Weekend was great! We had a wedding to attend, and I do love me some weddings.
Picture of us at the reception:
Sunday was my nephew's first birthday which was great.
Next weekend will be better! Birthday winery trip! We are leaving Thursday morning!
