TGIF, Y'ALL!!!

HisGirlFriday13 · April 2014

Oh, thank God, it's finally Friday. This has been the longest week EVER.

What's on tap for the weekend?

DH and I are hopefully going rollerblading at a local park tomorrow (hopefully in that it would be nice if it would stop raining in Central PA). Sunday we have Mass, I have religious ed, and then I have to go help a friend pack and move. She and her husband found a new apartment and are moving ASAP because their current apartment has a black mould problem and their landlord is all like, 'I can't deal with this because my wife has terminal cancer and you're heartless to make me think about my legal responsibilities to you right now.'

I need to do some prep work for my religious ed kids on Sunday -- we're doing the jelly bean prayer as part of our review and I need to buy and sort jelly beans.

My father, who has just an awesome sense of humour, sent me stickers and pencils that say 'cristo vive' and 'cristo me amo' and other Easter-type phrases, all in Spanish, with a note, 'This is for your religious ed kids. It'll drive [DRE] NUTS to see you handing out stuff in Spanish!'

He cracks me up.

What's the haps with all y'all?

With you on the TGIF! It's been a crazy week at work and I can't wait to leave at 10am. We work 9 hour days and then 4 hours on Fridays. However, this week, I've worked at least 12 hours each day and then add in the 1 hour each way commute (yay Houston) and it's been a long week.

Got the plumber coming by to fix our garbage disposal this afternoon and making Tequila shrimp for dinner. I believe the plan is to spend the weekend unpacking, choosing new flooring for the two secondary bedrooms, and putting stuff up on our walls. This is going to be a busy month and I'd like to get my house in order and actually feel moved in by our anniversary.

Next week, I think I'm going offshore. Next weekend we are paintballing all weekend. The following weekend is Easter/our first Anniversary/my parent's 40th Anniversary. We still have not planned anything...

I have never been roller blading in my life! I used to kick ass at roller skating when I was a girl scout though!

Saturday I'm having lunch with my grandparents, think my sister in law and the new baby are coming along. Then I have an appointment to try on my wedding dress. I am so nervous because the store only had a 12 and I'm a 6 so I have been waiting 4 months to get mine and try it on. Eeekkk stressing out about it not fitting even though it should and there's 5 months to make alterations! I'm really excited to have my MOH come since she was living out of the country when I bought it so she hasn't seen it.

LadyMillil · April 2014

I'm getting married this weekend!!! I've spent all week getting the last minute stuff done, and trying to ignore family drama. Tomorrow is the wedding, then Sunday we are driving to FI's hometown before we start our mini-moon.

So excited!

loro929 · April 2014

Rollerblading does seem like so much fun! I always watch people that blade with envy because I am a bit scared to try it myself! (bad childhood fall and let's just say I never got back up on the proverbial horse).

I actually only have 2 more hours of work and then I am heading to the airport for a weekend getaway with FI. He has to work abroad starting from Tuesday so I decided to tagalong for the weekend until he has to start working. I took a day off on Monday so I am looking forward to our "mini-vacay". It comes at the end of a very long 3 weeks actually, so it is coming at just the perfect time.

**Crossing fingers for sunny skies

Also, our crockpot arrived yesterday! Since we are not going to be around this weekend, I have to wait until next week to try out all of the fantastic recipes that were proposed in one of the other threads. Hopefully by this time next week I will be able to report something back regarding my first crock pot experience!

Finally, our sample Save the Dates arrived. They are the second round of save the date samples that we ordered. We are trying to do magnets but I really am just not impressed by how the colors are printing. We are trying to do a light gray background with dark gray, purple and yellow lettering (It is a design we bought off of Etsy), however, the light grey color printed as almost a lilac which doesn't really look nice. As they are the second round of samples we are trying, I am not sure whether to ditch this design and pick a new one, ditch the magnet idea altogether, or just keep trying until the correct shade comes in. Oof I am sounding really picky right now and I am not, it is just that on the screen the colors look beautiful and they just leave so much to be desired in "real life".

Besides that I am just looking to a nice, quiet weekend with good sights, good food, good wine and, most importantly, good company

Happy TGIF to everyone!

ScoutF · April 2014

Happy wedding weekend @cmfarr! Hope everything goes well.

Hibachi with friends tonight, crawfish festival with friends tomorrow, brunch with an old friend who just moved to town on Sunday (depending on how much we drink Saturday, of course). Should be fun!

lmcooper86 · April 2014

This week needs to be over immediately. I've been feeling sick all week and could barely drag myself out of bed today. It doesn't help that there's a committee meeting in our office today and they are SO noisy! I may go home at lunch.

Tonight BF and I plan to order in and watch a movie or 24 or something and I will probably fall asleep at 9 lol

Tomorrow morning he has hockey and I have cleaning and errands and stuff to do at my apartment. Tomorrow night we're seeing Captain America (!!!) with friends, and I might just make chicken pot pie for him and his parents; his mom seemed very intrigued with my recipe and BF looooves it. Sunday is church x2 and probably lunch with BF's family in between. It might actually be nice here on Sunday so hopefully we can go out for a bit too.

Chipmunk415 · April 2014

Eh, posted this elsewhere but whatever.

Scaring the hell out of newly admitted law students tonight after work.

Continue deep cleaning the house, have kitty bath time (oh joy), friends over for dinner Saturday

DH has a project metting/study group Sunday evening, so I'll probably work on photo albums of wedding pics or other similarly crafty stuff on Sunday. Planning on starting a juice cleanse the same day.

Throw in some workouts and private time in the bedroom with DH, and that about sums up my weekend plans.

Yay! Happy wedding weekend, enjoy it

emmaaa · April 2014

FI works this weekend so that means he will be getting up at 4 am. Which in turn means that I won't be able to go back to sleep. On the weekends heworks we usually lay low and go to bed around 8 or 9 pm.

But this weekend we have our engagement pictures! I'll be so glad to finally get these done so we can design the STD's with them (I think, may just do standard STD's). I hate having to choose what to wear but I think we have it picked out.

This week hasbeen insane, and next week will be worse. We have two Egg Hunts next week that I have planned and am in charge of. This is the first event that I have planned since starting my job so I'm super nervous and hope everything goes well!

Peaseblossom55 · April 2014

I"m glad it's Friday but the weekend will be a bit hectic for me. I have a show tonight and another tomorrow night, and we have pre-cana all day on Saturday. Sunday is my one day to relax, but I know we have a bunch of errands to run and things to do. Like actually buying our wedding bands and putting stamps on the invitations so they can be mailed this coming week.

buddysmom80 · April 2014

I'm SO glad it's Friday! This was my first week back to work after a two week vacation, the beginning of the week flew by, but Thursday was the LONGEST DAY EVER.

Tonight I'm taking my dog for a walk and making tacos for dinner, probably do some laundry too.

Saturday I'm going to my day spa and getting a wax, then FI and I are heading to the outlets to get a couple of shirts for him for our engagement photo shoot. After that we'll go to our favorite jeweler to see if he can re-create the wedding band that goes with my engagement ring for a little less than what Simon G wants to charge us.

Saturday night I'm meeting with my BFF/MOH to have a heart to heart talk with her. Long story short, ever since I got engaged, she's made unsolicited jokes/snarky comments about my wedding. It's starting to bother me. I don't ask her for any help, ideas, etc for my wedding because my FI and I have it under control so far so it's like I'll go on Pinterest and she sends me a pin for something god-awful for my wedding. So, we'll see what she says. I'm just glad I'm going to get this talk over now and not in like December when I'll be stressed X 10000000.

Saturday night late we might go to our friend's house for snacks and CAH.

Sunday I'm cleaning my cat's bedroom (yes, my cat has his own bedroom) and relaxing, maybe some knitting too.

jenna8984 · April 2014

@scoutf Where the heck are you- I want a crawfish festival!!!

Texas! H and I are going to be having a boil before too long, consider this an official invite

KPBM89 · April 2014

Happy Friday y'all!

Today I'm working on a few Etsy orders and reorganizing my craft room. FI took me on a Home Depot date the other night (yes, Home Depot is one of my absolute favorite stores so I super love when he takes me there) and we picked out a new shelving unit and he bought it all for me! And then he built it all for me, too! So now, I'm tackling my giant desk mess.

Last night I bought a cork board to put up on my wall. It has a tan frame that matches the cork, but the walls in the craft room are "peanut butter" color, so I originally planned to paint the frame white. Now I think I'm going to use pages from my old Lilly Pulitzer planner to cover the frame, so that's my next project along with the craft room re-org.

Other than crafting, I have a few wedding to-dos to get done. This weekend we're finalizing our catering contract, talking with our parish about pre-cana, contacting the bakery to set up our cake tasting appointment for next month (during our Memorial Day visit home, we have to set up the tux rental, do our cake tasting, do our engagement photo shoot, and I have a bartending event at the Fair Hill Races with my dad all day one day-actually on the same grounds as our reception venue!), and tweaking the colors of some things on our invites and maybe printing them. I printed a trial run the other day and noticed an extra . on one part and also noticed the change in colors from computer screen to print page (mostly because we're using ivory cardstock).

We just got our paper lantern store order yesterday and it is taking every ounce of self control for me to not play with every single lantern. I know if I touch one, I'll want to set them all up, and that just aint gonna happen because those things have a lot of travelling to do!

SmileDamnit · April 2014

Helllllloooooooooo, Friday!! I was way dumb in not taking a "rest" day off after my MT trip and have been exhausted and pretty much useless all week. I can't freakin' wait to sleep past 5:30 am tomorrow.

Once rested, I'm going to take photos of an adorable family (actually have 3 sessions lined up this month so that's pretty exciting), and Sunday we are going to my sister's for a bday brunch. Her condo has a great rooftop patio, so fingers crossed for good weather.

And @ScoutF - shoot an invite in the direction of Colorado, too! FI has been jonesing for a crawfish boil

*edited b/c no one should use the word "adorable" so much in one post*

Cookie Pusher · April 2014

I am counting down the minutes until 4:30. My weekend plans involve sleeping, sleeping, and more sleeping so my body can finish fighting this sinus infection. I've turned into a mouth-breather and it needs to stop. Now.

climbingsingle · April 2014

Tonight: No plans. FI is fighting a cold. We'll probably just watch a movie.

Tomorrow: FI is having a boys day. I'll be doing some spring cleaning, laundry, etc. I'm weird, in that I'm actually looking forward to all of this spring cleaning. Then Saturday night we're having dinner with friends.

Sunday: No plans.

cupcait927 · April 2014

TGIF! So far today has gone smoothly (quick dentist appt and the DMV was empty) so I'm hoping the rest of my day flies by! This weekend FI and I plan on doing a lot of work on our new house. He has to work tomorrow morning and I am going to pick up my dress from DB in the morning. Then in the afternoon we're going to shop for all of the things we need for our bathrooms (new mirrors, vanity table for me, new toilet, paint) and hopefully get some work done on those between tomorrow and Sunday. Sunday night we'll probably go over to his parents house for dinner as it's become sort of a tradition.

pinkcow13 · April 2014

Rollerblading, awesome! I have not gone rollerblading in years. I think I would be too scared to try again! Tonight, my coworkers are planning happy hour. I think I will hit the gym, and then meet them for a drink. Afterwards we are going to a coworkers MMA fight. He is really good at it, and recently went to Thailand to train out there for 2 weeks. He had a fight a couple of months ago and I heard he was awesome! I'm not into MMA at all, but I figure I might as well go and support him.

Tomorrow, I want to go on a long run, hopefully the weather will be nice! Then, FI and I are heading to a surprise birthday party out on Long Island for his cousin's husbands 40th birthday. He loves poker and card games, so she is having a poker themed party. They actually know a professional dealer, so I think she is setting up a few tables for poker and blackjack. I'm excited, because her parties are always awesome. Good food, good drinks, and it's always tons of fun. I will not be gambling because I hate to lose money, and I suck at poker.

Sunday will suck. We are going to meet with FMIL to finalize the contract for the engagement party (she wants us to go with her), but afterwards we are going to a wake. I posted about my ( I should say our, as FI is good friends with her too) friend's dad passing away, and the wake will be on Sunday so that will be rough.

I am glad it's Friday, though! This week has definitely been too long.

MaryGraceRich · April 2014

Its definitely a happy Friday!!!!
This is my first day off in 9 days and I am off the entire weekend.
On the agenda for today is getting a much needed, relaxing manicure and pedicure and going out with my little brother and stepmom to get him a pair of converse sneakers for the wedding.
Tomorrow is putting ribbon on bookmarks for the wedding and then my bachelorette party!!
Sunday is a resting day.

JCbride2015 · April 2014

This has been the longest two weeks of the entire school year for me, maybe even worse than finals. My partner is making our clinic project a living nightmare. But the hearing we were prepping for was last night (no decision yet) so thank God that's done.

Now I'm treating myself to a shopping trip at Trader Joe's. It's a half hour away and I usually don't go, but it's my favorite grocery store and we need a lot of stuff. Then I'm doing some work for my PT job.

Tonight: meeting Fi at the mall to maybe buy him a tux for an upcoming event. Then we are having our weekly Friday "date" which means we will get a beer at our favorite bar down the street.

Tomorrow: lots and lots of school work. This time not with the partner from hell, at least.

Sunday: sleeping late, cooking brunch and hopefully it will be warm enough to eat on our balcony. Then going to my PT job in the afternoon.

Somewhere in there Fi is planning some long bike rides and I'm going to get back at it with my barre workouts. We've both been lazy but now that the weather's nice I realize I'll be in summer clothes before I know it.

mbross3 · April 2014

SO glad it's Friday!! My BFF is driving up from Chicago with her BF to visit. She hasn't made it up north since we moved last summer, although I've been back to Chicago to visit, so it's exciting that she'll finally be coming!

BF and I are also going out to celebrate his promotion at work, so that should be exciting! Saturday night we are staying in! Things are so crazy here with Final Four March Madness drama--I'm not super into sports but right now it's impossible to go out anywhere when there's a game on. eeeesssh

pinkshorts27 · April 2014

I'm going to a pot luck tonight. Bringing taquitos which are always a big hit. Super excited to see this group, which are friends of my close guy friend and extremely nice people. I see them about once a month. Also going to see the new captain America movie. And I have about three case studies to read for my engineering business class.

HaileyDancingbear · April 2014

I get to show FI the new apartment all set up and unpacked etc. He saw it the week I signed the lease, but move in day was Sunday and he has been in school since. I'm super excited, I finally get to actually be on my own.

No living at home, and no living with stupid roommates who hate me and blame every mess on me (And my apartment is SPOTLESS, btw, so I guess the last one being a pig sty might have had something to do with one of the roommates and her friend that slept on our couch EVERY NIGHT and contributed NOTHING towards rent drinking an ENTIRE bottle of rum every night and making a giant fucking mess) or give me shit EVERY TIME I want to see FI (Because me paying rent apparently does not give me the right to have a guest on the weekends, but gives them the right to have someone crash on our couch every night and never leave? ok.) Nope, I get a lovely apartment that I can pay for all by my damn self and decorate however I damn please. and I can ROAM!!!! Last time I never left my room because I couldn't handle the shitty attitude I constantly got from the roommates. Of course even when I never left my room and never made noise and never bothered anyone ever I was STILL a giant burden.

pinkcow13 · April 2014

JCBride2014 - Have you had their cookie butter? I picked up a jar on Monday and I cannot stop eating it!! I have been spreading it over my bananas at work lol. My breakfast now consists of a banana smothered in cookie butter. FI loves bike riding too, he is thinking of taking his bike out one of these days and going on a long ride.

jenna8984 · April 2014

@scoutF nom nom nom!! At least I'm in New England so it's warming up to clam bake and lobster roll weather!!

MaryGraceRich · April 2014

Blueeyes09 the new captian america movie was awesome. I saw it last night. There are two extra endings so stay until after all of the credits.

SBmini · April 2014

fffffffffffff yeah! Getting in the car after work and driving to California with a friend to meet up with my bridal party for my bachelorette party. Tomorrow I'll be painted in mud and drinking red wine at some hot springs.

ScoutF · April 2014

@jenna8984 I'm going to my first clambake in August and am so excited. Our friends are getting married in RI and are having it the morning after the wedding. Neither H or I have been to the NE, so we're making a vacation out of the trip.
