It's Monday... again!

Good morning all! Yes it is Monday, the weekend has come and gone for most and now it's back to the grind!
I had a very busy weekend. Besides working, which I did every day since Tuesday, on Saturday I met up with a lady who wants me to housesit for her when she goes away next month. She lives in this HUGE headbanger mansion that is being renovated right now and she's got two teeny tiny dogs and 5 parrot-like birds, one of which bit the crap out of my finger! Anyway I'm gonna be staying at her house a lot while she's away, she's gonna be gone for like 2 weeks and wants her dogs to feel "secure at night because that is most important" and since she wants to pay me 100 bucks a night I'm all in!

After that I had to get new work shoes because mine basically fell apart at work on Saturday and while I was at it I bought myself a new bag. I have had this dilemma of having only two nice quality bags that someone gave me once, but that girl and I are mortal enemies now, so I wanted a new, nice bag that I bought for myself so I don't have to use hers anymore. I have been working a lot so I didn't feel bad treating myself! Saturday night I went to a HUGE birthday dinner for BF's best friend's younger brother. Their two families have raised each other and they're very close so it was natural for us to go. The problem with that was BF's bff and I have a long history of having a love-hate relationship that has consisted mostly of hate. I am the wedge that has driven them apart, so he thinks. So every time we go see him I don't know if we are gonna fight or make up. It changes every time.

Sunday I had to rush through some school work that was due, then I cleaned up the house a bit, and then I went to work until 9:30. Today's gonna be about the same lol.

How was everyone's weekend? Anything CRAZY happen?

Re: It's Monday... again!

  • @untouchablets -$100/night sounds good to me too lol.

    I'm exhausted this morning! I slept super hard last night and I think I definitely needed some more sleep this morning. DH and I had a really good weekend.

    Friday was uneventful, I wasn't feeling all that well and DH was on a field trip so I stayed in and watched Netflix the whole night. Saturday I was feeling much better so we went to our inspection at our new home. It went really well. The only things that were noted were purely cosmetic and the owner fixed a couple of them right off the bat. Saturday night DH had to work so I stayed home with the pups again and just relaxed.

    Sunday I went with my mom and @labro and our little sister out to lunch and to see Cinderella. I loved Cinderella! I thought it was super cute and I loved seeing all the little girls coming to the theater all dressed up in their Cinderella gowns. It was adorable. Afterwards, since it was a nice day, DH and I took Maddux to the park and then cooked dinner. I also got some cleaning done yesterday so that was nice.
  • @allusive007 -Those baskets are super cute! 
  • @Southernpeach89 - Thanks! They're from Target. I think we're actually going to hang them in the corner so each handle will attach to a wall hook...that way hopefully they can hold more weight. I wanted toy storage that was accessable and thought these were fun because you can pull them off the wall for play time and then hang them back up when you want a clean room. Plus, they were only like $16 each, so super cheap!
  • Good morning! How is it already Monday????

    My weekend was really great! I think Friday consisted of wine and the DVR. 

    Saturday, I went to WW (-2.4!!!!!!) and then did my grocery shopping for the week. My mom was visiting for a bit and my new couch was delivered! I have very mixed feelings about it which I'll get to  when I AW some pics. I was pretty lazy for the rest of the day while H was working. I went to bed around 10. 

    Yesterday, which is my favorite day of the week because it's the only day that H and I get to sleep in together, was nice. We went to breakfast with my mom and then went shopping for curtains. We spend the rest of the night fixing up the living room to make it homey and I watched TWD before bed (this show is not fucking around!). 

    So, back to the couch.... Sometimes, it has really orange/yellow/gold undertones and I hate orange so I've been very iffy about it. Other times, it looks very beige and perfect. I'm giving it until Wednesday because we have a week to exchange it if that's what we choose to do. Here are pics after we added new curtains (we're adding wood blinds), lamps that I got at the thrift store (I still need to paint them), and new lamp shades.

    Here's a close up of the curtains:

    And here's a close up of the lamps (again, I still have to paint them, probably tonight):

    We're going to be getting new side tables (those in the pics and the coffee table are 7.5 years old and in bad shape!) and there's a storage ottoman that matches the couch being delivered in a couple weeks.



  • @swazzle OMG I totally forgot about TWD!!!! I missed last week because of the concert and last night because I worked and I don't usually work Sunday night. UGH now I'm mad at myself :(

    Watch online! Full episodes on the AMC website. 



  • @swazzle - I love the new decorations and furniture!
  • @Swazzle - I love the new couch and curtains! What an awesome find with those lamps too!! What color are you planning to paint them?
  • @allusive007 - You are absolutely ADORABLE! 

    I think just all black. The black part has red specks in it and I don't like the white at the top. We're planning on getting wood side tables and console so I think it'll look great just black. 



  • @TwoDimes - That's what everyone says when I send pics! I'd think I'm crazy if my mom and H didn't also see an orangey couch sometimes too lol

    @Swazzle I don't see the orange....maybe it looks kind of yellow because of the lighting? I think you could balance out the yellowy/gold with a brighter/whiter light. What kind of wood blinds you getting? The white painted ones or are they going to be stained wood? I think white painted blinds will help emphasize beige over yellow.

    @allusive007 You look so adorable!! I love the pic of your baby room.

    @untouchablets $100/night sounds amazing!! Hopefully the birds don't bite your fingers...but it still sounds worth it lol!

    @southernpeach89 Congrats on an excellent home inspection!!!

    I'm so sad the weekend is already over. I feel like it flew by!

    Saturday we went to a friend's apartment in downtown ATL and had THE BEST homemade sushi. We brought Cinders to make friends with their dog, but they both pretty much just tolerated each other and had mini-wars over who had possession of various toys and bones. Cinders proceeded to pretty much shred any soft/squishy/squeaky toy she could fine.

    Sunday I hung out my mom and sisters and saw Cinderella. I think my favorite part of the whole movie was getting to buy beer at the beginning so I could drink the whole way through. It was a cute movie, but kind of slow at times. Then I went home and pulled weeds and H and I got the interior of our cars cleaned but ran out of time to do the outside.




  • @goldenpenguin I'm going to mouth kiss you, I don't care! Also they were talking about "The Jinx" on the radio this morning, so when I get home tonight I'm going to start watching, we'll discuss.

  • @GoldenPenguin - FI and I started The Jinx last night! I'm almost positive we'll be done with it tonight or tomorrow, lol. At the very beginning of the first episode, I didn't know if I could watch it - it was SO DISTURBING. But now I'm super interested. I really want to Google the case, but I'm trying to wait until I've watched all the episodes first!!

  • @labro - We agreed on the white wood blinds! It actually seems to look the most orange during the day. I tend to like it better at night. It's really strange. 



  • Good morning ladies....I'm also dragging. And it doesn't help that they are doing repair/renovation work at my office so there's the constant sound of jackhammers. Not helpful when I am going on little sleep. 

    @untouchables - $100/night sounds like a dream!! So jealous!

    @allusive007 - You look adorable! Love the baby bump!!

    @Swazzle - Love the curtains!

    @GoldenPenguin - How exciting!!! YAY!!!!


    I had a great weekend though, Friday night one of FI's closest friends came over for dinner to celebrate with us since she was sick last weekend and couldn't make our little brunch on Sunday. Saturday we watched basketball and then went to game night. Thankfully both of the GF's of FI's buddies didn't make me feel too awkward, though you could tell it was definitely the elephant in the room. They both congratulated us and one asked to see the ring, but it seemed slightly forced. Sunday one of my best gf's came over with her H and little girl for brunch. And then we watched more basketball and made irish soda bread.

    I'm still sleeping poorly, and it doesn't help that Saturday night we didn't get home until 2am and had to get up at 8:30 on Sunday to clean and prep for brunch. This construction is definitely giving me a migraine too.

  • @untouchablets - $100 a night sounds great!  For all those animals though, it'll probably be deserved.

    @allusive007 - the baskets are cute (love your little helper).

    @Swazzle - Way to go on your WW success!!  The size and look of the couch is great (it looks super comfy).  Love the curtains!

    @TwoDimes - sorry the florist cancelled, glad you had so much time to spend with Indy though!

    @GoldenPenguin - Aruba sounds amazing!!

    Friday I went home early to do my online class and because I could.  My lower back started hurting so I spent my whole afternoon/evening on the couch - but at least I got all my coursework done.

    Saturday - Nessie had a vet appointment in the AM, she needs to lose a few lbs (H got a lecture for over feeding her from both me and the vet).  After that we dropped the pups off and went to lunch and I had to run to Target and H had ordered me a b-day cake, so we picked that up too.  In the evening we went out to dinner with BIL and his GF and his GF's daughter - BIL and GF were fighting, so it made for an awkward evening; I'm surprised that the GF/GF's daughter even came out with us - the whole thing was just very very awkward, I get she probably wanted to celebrate my bday, but I think it would have made things a little better had she stayed behind.  We ended up just doing dinner and a movie (Cinderella).  I thought they did a really good job with the movie.

    Sunday - We didn't even leave the house.  I had to do some work on and off all afternoon.  I basically just sat in front of the TV all day.

    I'm hoping to get out of work a little early today and go to the grocery store.

    @TwoDimes Cinders is a kisser sometimes. But she doesn't give huge slobbery kisses, she just gives you tons and tons of little licks all over your face!

    @Dignity100 Happy Birthday!!



  • edited March 2015
    @twoDimes Maddux is such a romantic kisser, he will look at you longingly and just slowly creep towards your face and just lick FOREVER! If he gets into your ears, nose, or mouth then he will never quit. The worst is when you start laughing and he just licks even faster and longer. I've been french kissed by Maddux more than I care to admit lol.
  • Happy birthday @dignity100!
