Hello lovelies! Weekend plans?
in Chit Chat
Love hearing about everyone's weekend plans, even if it's, "I plan to sit around in my pajamas, eat chips, and watch Netflix."
Today after work, going to go to Target or something and pick up some thank you cards (as I said in my post yesterday on the E board, wedding presents are already coming in, and thanks to those of you who pointed out the obvious during my "doi" moment) and some Starbucks, then going home to pack.
After FI gets home, we'll drive up to Disney for the weekend. Some of my family are in town, so we're going to do the parks with them on Saturday, then Sunday we'll have a nice lunch somewhere on property and head home.
Any cool news from the week as well? I finally got myself over to the running store and got a long overdue new pair of sneakers. Ran in them for the first time this morning, and I have to say, duh, major improvement.
Also, since we're going out of town and have someone coming over to walk our pooch, I cleaned up the front half of the apartment. I hate cleaning, but it always feels great after. So that was nice.

Re: Hello lovelies! Weekend plans?
The rest of the weekend will be spent packing up our kitchen and anything else we can because we get our new house in a little over a week! We are so excited!
I'm working Sunday night but not sure of the rest of the weekend. The Kid is mouthing off about chores and homework again so I may be the lazy (smart?) stepmom who avoids the house and let's DH deal with him. I won't feel guilty.
Probably visiting my new niece this afternoon, then a massage appointment. Can't wait for that, been way too stressed with the house hunt.
Saturday night my friend's 30th birthday party at her house, I said I'd bring this taco salad pasta recipe I found (basically cold pasta mixed with cold taco seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, olives, little shredded cheese.
Sunday not a thing. Maybe movies with DH or just relaxing.
Bachelorette party tomorrow, although the invites went out super late (less than 2 weeks ahead) so only 2 people are coming besides my 2 BMs. I wanted something low key but I do feel a bit bummed about it. As of Tuesday night there was no plan, the invite just said more details to come so I told the main planner how about this place at X and then do Y&Z after and call it a day. Guess I planned my own party by doing that but when it is 3-4 days out with no plan something had to give. FI has his bachelor party that is a full day of drinking and friends, etc, so he'll be staying at a friend's house and I'm on dog duty.
No plans Sunday, originally figured lazy hangover day but now that won't happen since I need to be home Sat night for the dog. Probably get in a couple of runs or at least one run and one gym workout this weekend. Probably head to Sam's club to get cups/plates for the cupcakes at the reception and then make a list of the alcohol to buy (no Sunday alcohol sales but I want to look and get Sam's prices to see if they are best or not).
Disney sounds awesome! And I know what you mean about overdue workout stuff- I FINALLY got some new workout shirts and it just makes going to the gym more enjoyable for some reason, haha.
Since it's a long weekend, we're going on a road trip! BF and I were hoping to keep it somewhere within 5 hours from us, but it looks like a lot of the places we want to go will have rain. We may end up choosing Quebec City even though it's a much farther drive, because we've never been in the summer. Either way I'm excited to pick up and just go somewhere!

I didn't see this thread earlier haha!
Tonight is date night. We are going to get sushi and I am so excited. I really hope today goes by fast.
After that, I have no other plans. I might do some volunteering on Sunday.
I have a job interview after work today so fingers crossed! Then I have girls night out with some friends to go to a Mexican restaurant and then to see Pitch Perfect 2! Very stoked.
Tomorrow I want to work on some wedding stuff and do some things around the house. Tomorrow night my BFF, my mom and her friend are going to dinner together.
Sunday morning we have a birthday party for FI's cousin (1 year old) and then Sunday evening we have a graduation party. Busy weekend!
My bridal shower is on Sunday!
So today we're doing some major cleaning up the house for guests, and tomorrow BFF is coming to town and we will go shopping to try to find something to wear. I'll probably get a pedi also.
I will try not to check my registry but willpower is crumbling by the second!
More rain in the forecast here, ugh. That's like 4 weekends in a row. My main plan tomorrow is to clean my house. We had a party 2 weekends ago and the house still hasn't recovered totally.
Sunday I plan on breaking out the pasta attachment for my KitchenAid, and the ravioli presses I bought like, 2 years ago, and am going to make some ravioli. Should be a fun project. Probably one of those projects where it's like "this is awesome idea!" and then halfway through it's like "ugh this was a terrible idea".
Also might see if FI wants to go wedding band shopping... should probably take care of that as we're less than 4 months out. I've picked his out already, but it's an online company so I need him to get sized, and mine is gonna be difficult as I have little diamonds on the side of my ring that will probably be covered up by a band.
My birthday was Wednesday and H is taking me away Saturday night for a surprise overnight trip!
Also, my BFF is FINALLY graduating college. She has been going to school on and off for the last 15 years. But she has been doing what she can/when she can and now she has finally made it! I'm so proud of her! Her ceremony is tomorrow morning, so H & I will be attending with her family.
