Weekend plans
Morning ladies! Happy Friday!
This weekend FI and I have some things to finish for the wedding. We have to finish making our song selections for the DJ, cut the welcome bag tags and inserts, finish shopping for gifts. There's not a ton to do, just little odds and ends stuff. We also are going to finish shopping and pack for our HM!
Last night I had my final dress fitting and my dress fits perfectly now so that's exciting! Ignore my face, please.
What do you have going on this weekend?

Re: Weekend plans
Tonight, we're doing a "lava lounge" after work - A couple of the guys turned a few cubicles into the "lava lounge" with mini fridges and louge furniture. I need to go pick up a 6 pack during lunch
Tomorrow, I'm working at the grocery store fom 6:30 am until the afternoon (hopefully they're cutting hours!). I like working there, but I really hope that my promotion goes through in June/July so I can quit and have *gasp!!* two days off a week! My brother and I are probably going to set up my mom's iPod for Mothers Day so it's ready to go when she opens it and have a spaghetti dinner!
Sunday is my first 5K ever! ahhh!!!! Then I think we're going out for a late lunch afterwards. Then I'm taking a bath and finishing HPGoF in it, however long it takes!
tonight we were going to the arts festival downtown, but it's going to be rained out! instead we are going to take it easy... I really need a break. we've been overscheduled since mid-March. so tonight we're going to a little Greek/Italian place (where you invariably end up for 2+ hours... it's slow, but wonderful!) and then grabbing our weekly groceries. if I haven't fallen asleep out of pure exhaustion by 10 PM, we might grab a movie.
Saturday we are working in the yard... H is planting a new tree, and I'm trimming bushes and planting some flowers on the porch. if we wake up early enough, we might hop over to the farmer's market!
we have our Spanish-speaking service on Saturday night as usual, and then regular church on Sunday. we have a special Kids' Fest Day Sunday morning, so I'll be helping with that.
Tonight I have to be at the theater, FI will be cleaning the new home and prepping it for painting. Tomorrow we will be up early awaiting the delivery of our new dishwasher and fridge. Meanwhile doing more cleaning and painting. Later in the afternoon's I have my neice's birthday party and then we're also heading out to dinner to celebrate. She will be 6. Time flies!!!
Sunday I'm going to a bridal show to check out a venue, it's right near the church so it would be nice if it was available and had great food. We'll see. FI's parents are also coming up on Sunday to help us with home stuff, so I'll probably go to the bridal show with FMIL. Then the rest of the day will be spent painting the new home.
Our kitchen is being painted Bold Sangria by Behr
Our entertaiment room is being painted Blue Aura by Behr
and the master bedroom is being painted a green by Behr I forget the name though....
Still here and still fabulous!
peek I'll keep the good vibes going for you for a successful weekend!
Everyone sounds like they're going to have a fun weekend!
Tonight, I'm going to drink wine and cook on the grill. I'm also toying with the idea of making some sangria as well for the next week. Tomorrow I have a follow up eye doctor appt and then a hair appointment. If I get out in enough time I might mow the yard and kill some awful weeds that are coming up around the pool, I thought they were pretty at first (they are some weird purple flowers) but now they have just taken over. Sunday I'll clean and do laundry, take the fur baby to Petco to get cat food for Buddy and some foam mint breath freshener for my parent's dog.
Tonight I'm petsitting while my parents go to a play with some friends. One of their dogs needs medication at a very specific time every day so she really can't be left unsupervised. Our doggie date is going to include a trip to PetSmart, a walk on a local "greenway" path, and possibly a bath (fun for golden retrievers but not for me hah).
BF and I are going to drive around the neighborhood of the house we have under contract tomorrow. We want to get a feel for what the area is like on weekends and get a better internal map of the nearest grocery stores, parks, restaurants, etc. BF got the loan application started the other day and he scheduled an inspection for Tuesday so things are starting to come together. As long as nothing super scary shows up on the inspection I think everything else is going to be a green light through to closing so yay!
I'm just hoping I don't have to work this weekend...I'm exhausted from working from 6/7 a.m. to 9/10 p.m. all week.

[QUOTE]rdr - Your dress is beautiful!! How was FLEETWOOD MAC?!?! I've been dying to know. <strong>Syd - Those flowers are gorgeous! I'm a sucker for chinese food :) Sounds like you've got a keeper, for sure! </strong>Danser - YAY NEW HOUSE!! I actually googled the colors you're painting. They're awesome! Tonight is BF's sisters 18th birthday. We stayed up late literally filling her car with balloons. I have a surprise party planned for her tonight, so after my half day at work (!!!) I'll be running around trying to finish presents and whatnot. Saturday we're helping my dad finish moving, probably going hiking again in the canyon, and maybe some yard work. Then we'll go running, out on a date, and sleepin'! Sunday we hit the early service for church, then breakfast with my pops. We'll probably be lazy and smoke weed all day out by the pool, then go make dinner at my moms and watch GoT. Tada!

Lol he's stepping it up! I mean, he didn't get me anything for my birthday (not even a card :( ), but he did take me out ot eat, and when I told him I was upset he got Valentines day (where he also got me flowers) and my birthday mixed up. He's definitely trying after that one!
Now to just convince him that Church isn't as terrible as he thinks it is, then he'll be perfect :). He was't baptized and only went with his Grandparents sometimes until when he was 3 or 4 and thinks it's this boring, terrible thing and the only other times he's been have been for weddings or funerals. I'm going to force him to watch The Bible series at some point so he can see my pov and understand why it's important to me.
And you sound like you'd make an awesome brother's GF!

I hear you there. I can get booked weeks in advance! I don't really like it...
rdr- that sucks worked blocked TK. I would so sad if work did that. They were blocked for awhile and somehow unblocked, so I always worry they will block them again.
My weekend plans are pretty open right now. BF is coming up to see me and we'll probably go out with friends either tonight or tomorrow night. I also have 3 different papers to write and I haven't started any of them so that is probably going to take up my Sunday.
It's my BF's birthday on sunday so I'll be taking him out to dinner, pretending to be enthralled by the inner working of Magic the card game, and basically doing what ever he wants.
Saturday, I'm filming my in case of emergency video. Which will be slightly awkward.

Please explain. I've never heard of an in case of emergency video.
That is the most confusing explanation ever but I hope it somewhat makes sense. I am recording mine this weekend. I'll briefly remind my bf to distribute my heirloom jewelry to my sisters, tell him it's okay to fall in love (when I've died) and a few other things. It's kinda sad to think about needing it, but if we do, I'll feel better that I've recorded one.
This weekend FI and I are driving up to Napa for my bridal shower. And then I may or may not keep going up to Oregon to give something to a friend that I can't really ship. Still thinking on that.
[QUOTE]Basically, it's a video you record and store on your computer. It's in case of things like comas or dying. You record some stuff about your wishes in case you aren't there to say them at the time. And you tell everyone you love them and stuff you want them to remember that you thought about them. So if anything goes wrong in the future, there is a video they can watch for support from you. That is the most confusing explanation ever but I hope it somewhat makes sense.

<div>Yea.... Um...</div><div>
</div><div>So, just write it out in a letter, get a will written legally and signed by the right people, and keep it all in a fire proof box or in a lock box at a bank (but make sure someone has access to it). </div><div>
</div><div>Putting something on your computer is very unsafe. My dad just passed and it's been a headache trying to figure out all of his computer stuff. </div><div>
</div><div>And being all morbid, sitting through a video of your loved one saying all those things is the last thing a survivor wants to do. Reading a letter is easier and lasts longer. It's also a lot more personal. </div><div>
</div><div>If you have things like heirloom jewelry involved, please involve a lawyer. A video can be overturned in court with the flick of a wrist. Just get a will written up. They're worth it and have actual legal standing. </div>
