Monday!

Swazzle · May 2015

Morning! Happy Monday? I woke up in a good mood today so I'm rolling with it!

I had a really great weekend

On Friday, H and I went out to dinner and then he went to a concert and I went home and straightened up the house then FaceTimed with @GoldenPenguin while we watched Grey's. The kids also got in on the action:

Saturday, I got up early and drove the 2 hours to my parents' house which is where Lucy's been for the last couple weeks. I MISSED HER SO MUCH! She was really excited to see me

My mom and I spent the day driving with the top down and stopping in a ton of thrift/antique shops. I ended up buying chairs for my porch! We'll repaint them and reupholster them but I think they'll look really great out there. You can't really tell from the picture but they're HUGE. I can curl up on them which I love!

Yesterday, H and I went to our local thrift shop where I finally found canisters for on the kitchen counter and we decided we're going to try out tennis lol. We bought cheap racquets to see how it goes. We're hoping to challenge @Hummingbird125 and her FI to a duel. We had a Mother's Day/MIL's Birthday BBQ in the afternoon and it was really nice. On the way home, we ran some errands and then I spent an hour and a half prepping my breakfasts and lunches for the week. I'm determined to get back on track!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hummingbird125 · May 2015

Good morning @Swazzle!

I also woke up in a good mood today and will try my best to stay in it!

I had a lovely weekend. On Friday night FI and I actually went on a DATE. We haven't done much of that lately, since we've been trying to save every spare penny for wedding expenses, but we were both in need of a night out. FI found a place to try that we hadn't been to before up in Westchester. It was pretty empty inside and just...kind of strange. Like, it looked like a cool place but the crowd was significantly older than we expected. There was a band playing with a name like "Just Nuts!", and all members looked well over 60. However, they were playing lots of old songs that I knew all the words to, and they were GOOD! I had a "cinnamon toast crunch martini" and a thin crust pizza with arugula, caramelized onions, goat cheese, and honey, and it was incredible. After that, we went home and drank wine on the couch.

Saturday morning we headed to Brooklyn and picked up the 100 gold chargers I bought from someone, and then went out to Long Island. I had my (maybe?) final dress fitting. The top of it was still a little looser than I would like, which is causing a little wrinkle in the lining right around my waist, so we decided to get cups sewn in, and to take the whole thing in a little bit more. My little sister got her side-zip bridesmaid dress changed to a corset back and it came out perfectly, so she's super happy. Later that afternoon, my mom told me she found a "something old" for me, and she gave me an opal and diamond ring that had belonged to her mom, my Nana. I cried when she gave it to me, and so did she.

The rest of my weekend was spent hiking and sanding, staining, and painting our new cornhole set for the wedding. They aren't done yet but are coming out SO DAMN GOOD. I may not be AW-ing them here though, because FI is insisting that I not share absolutely everything about our wedding before it happens.

OOOOH! And more good news! On Friday night we got an email from FI's mom letting us know that two of his aunts from Seattle are coming to the wedding! Never in 100 years did he think anyone in his family (especially the older relatives) would travel from far away, and we're both so excited that they're going to be there! I am THRILLED that FI is going to have some members of his extended family there!

@Swazzle sounds like you had a great weekend! Love those chairs!

@GoldenPenguin WEDDING WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weekend was crazy busy. Friday DH had to work so I spent most of it getting prepared for the movers to come the following morning and packing up misc things.

Saturday morning the movers came and did a fantastic job! We are never moving by ourselves again lol. We made sure to buy them lunch and tip them generously because they did such a wonderful job. DH had to work Saturday night so I took puppy and we spent the night at my parent's house since we didn't have time to put the bed together that evening.

Sunday morning DH surprised me with a "mommy-to-be" gift. I didn't think he would do anything so I was definitely caught off guard. He bought me two Pandora charms for my Pandora bracelet. They are a baby carriage and a locket that says, "You're my mommy but also my best friend". Hopefully my baby thinks I'm their best friend lol.

Then he brought me donuts....NOMS! DH had to work a little bit so I took Maddux to the groomers because he was super stinky and needs his nails clipped. Afterwards we went to the new house and started putting together furniture and unpacking. We have a long way to go but I'm so happy we are officially in our new home!

@lmcooper86 I hope your wedding day was absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to hear some updates from you!

Swazzle · May 2015

@Hummingbird125 - OMG your ticker starts with TWO weeks right now!

@southernpeach89 - What a sweet, thoughtful gift!

@lmcooper86 - Congrats, lady! Can't wait to see/read an update!

Peaseblossom55 · May 2015

@southernpeach89 what a thoughtful gift I love pandora charms!

@swazzle those chairs look awesome. You seem to find such great furniture for the house you guys can make your own.

I'm cranky and tired. I really wanted to call out sick but I'd rather save that for when I'm sick. Friday night we watched hockey didn't do much else really. Saturday was my niece's communion, and a lunch afterwards, it was a good time. After H &I ran a few errands and BBQ'd dinner outside. I'd bought H a new game for his birthday a few weeks ago, and we played in on Saturday night. Sunday we didn't do too much. We watched Hockey and I did a lot of studying, I feel so overwhelmed with all of my studying, luckily I have no work deadline but I don't want to spend my whole summer studying either. Ah well another Monday!

[Deleted User] · May 2015

@southernpeace89 - YAY for getting moved!!

@Imcooper86 - Can't wait to see pictures!!

This weekend was kind of crazy (last week too...I realized it's been over a week since I was on TK). Last week was finals week, and I had to get everything graded and get moved out of my office. On Thursday one of my best friends came down to visit, and on Friday was GRADUATION!!! It's official--I walked across the stage and wore my silly hat and everything. The graduation ceremony was short (thank goodness), and we had dinner before and ice cream afterwords to celebrate. Saturday my friend and I had brunch and then did a little shopping. Yesterday was church and more packing, ugh!

Today it's sunny for the first time in what feels like a week--there has been epic rain and flooding here since last Wednesday. It's a lot more rain than we're used to seeing; I saw this morning that one town south of me has gotten 8 inches in the last week! There have been tornadoes as well, but none have struck close to me. I've got a doctor's appointment this afternoon, then the standard yoga/ballet combination. Now that school is out, I'm really sort of floundering around unsure what to do with my time!

LizzyTish88 · May 2015

@Swazzle those chairs look awesome! Can't wait to see the final project! I wish I was more crafty like that..

@Hummingbird125 Sounds like a good weekend! Hopefully they get your dress squared away since you need it in TWO WEEKS!

@SouthernPeach Congrats on a smooth move. Also how sweet of your H to get such a thoughtful gift!!

@ImCooper86- Come share wedding deets!!

My weekend was pretty good. I went shopping with my cousin and her daughter Friday night. Turns out she wasn't prom dress shopping but shopping for her cheer banquet, oops! LOL. We still had fun.

Saturday we ran errands in the morning and then went to my aunts for cake and ice cream for my cousin's birthday. We came home and cooked food on the grill and BF made me watch Blow. It was okay, but I didn't think it was great.

Yesterday we went to BF's cousin's daughter's first communion. After that we went back to the house to celebrate and later in the day we took our Mom's out for dinner. It was a good day!

Today I am going to look up some new WW recipes. I think I am going to start joining my aunts and go to meetings with them. I need to do something to get this weight loss into gear. I am tired of feeling shitty so here goes nothing! I have set two goals for myself so we shall see how this goes!

KeptInStitches · May 2015

Good morning, all!

@lmcooper86, congratulations!

So I'm in a reasonably good mood this morning except that H's cat chose yesterday to pee outside his litter box again. With him, it's hard to know when he's sick (he has known urinary issues and is on prescription medicated food for life) and when he's being a bastard (sometimes the little darling is a bastard). H is calling the vet this morning to see if they want to look at him this time.

Otherwise the weekend was quiet. Did some housework Saturday and worked on the recipe book - I'm collecting recipes from my mom, MIL, SMIL, and GMIL so that we don't starve in our well-stocked kitchen and so that we have family favorite recipes on hand right away now that we have actual kitchen stuff. (My cupboards were bare, but I have a dissertation. Seems like a fair trade to me.)

Spent the day with my family yesterday - my parents got me a (fake) butterfly in a jar and three charms for my bracelet for my birthday. The charms were a companion cube from Portal, a gaming controller, and the Star Trek TOS insignia. I ate way too much food. It was fun.

Oh! And H and I worked on editing the wedding video. We showed my parents, and my dad had the good idea to film the bulletin as well and append that to the end. Honestly, for what we did (set a camera off to the side, pointed it at the front of the chapel, hit "record," and walked away) I'm stunned at the quality we got - good visuals most of the time (except when people stood up) and good audio the whole time.

CLoGreenEyes · May 2015

Good morning all!

@swazzle, your home projects always turn out so beautifully, can't wait to see what you do with the chairs. Glad you had a sweet reunion with Lucy!

@hummingbird125, what a sweet something old!

@southernpeach89, that was so thoughtful and adorable of DH to give you a mommy-to-be gift!

This weekend was all right. I worked overnight on Friday, so most of Saturday was spent sleeping. When I woke up I did grocery shopping and made a bunch of banana bread, which was super-fun and tasty. And weirdly enough, I spent the rest of the night writing, which is something I haven't done in YEARS. One of my new work friends is a writer, so we've been trading prompts and ideas and stuff, and now I'm starting to feel creative again. Lord help us all.

Sunday was my date. It was OK, he was really nice and gets a second date, lol. My mom had to work all weekend, unfortunately, so my brother and I went to see her at work, and I brought her a card and a little gift. My poor mom, I feel like she constantly has to work on her birthday and Mother's Day, and all of those celebrations get dropped, which sucks. But she was happy to see us, and we're going to have a movie date later this week.

Dignity100 · May 2015

@Swazzle - Welcome back Lucy!! Love the new chairs!

@Hummingbird125 - It's always nice to take some time out for a date night, I'm glad you were able to do that. I was hoping they'd have your dress perfect for you!! That's awesome that your sister's dress came out so great.

@SouthernPeach89 - YAY for movers!

@futuremrshistorian - Congrats again!!!

@KeptInStitches - Hope your H's cat is ok.

@CL0GreenEyes - Glad your date went well!

@Imcooper86 - Can't wait to hear all about your wedding and see PICTURES!

Friday we watched the Cavs lose

.

Saturday BIL wanted to go for a 32mile bike ride. I tried to talk him out of it because I didn't think we were in shape enough to do it; but he really wanted to go. So we rode. At the halfway point, we took about a 30 minute break and noticed his tire had gone flat. Instead of using the replacement tube I had with me, the boys (H and BIL) decided to patch the tube (it was a small pin prick split in the seam). The patch blew out about 4 or 5 miles away from the car, by the time H reached me, I Was already at the car, so I threw my bike in the car and picked them up (so I rode the 31.9mi and they only went 27). BIL was singing praises to me for bringing a car instead of a patch kit/new tube because he was done. My one shoulder/arm/hand is a little sore from the ride today (wondering if it's a pinched nerve in my neck).

Sunday we went over to MILs house for Mother's Day - watched the Cavs win

. I also ran around my house cleaning up and trying to get stuff done before we went over. We leave for vacation on Friday!!

Tonight I'm hoping to watch the last episode of Revenge.

beanbot2002 · May 2015

@swazzle I love the chairs! I can't wait to come curl up on the other one and drink wine on your porch all night!

@hummingbird125 yay for date nights and last wedding details!

@southernpeach89 I love the mother's day gifts!

**************************

This weekend was difficult. I honestly don't remember much of Friday night, so nothing spectacular could have happened. Wait, I remember...Bean forced me to watch the Bulls/Cavs game. Basketball is my least favorite sport to watch, so I mostly FB'd.

Saturday, FI and Bean got up early and headed to the barn. No-Uh and I hung back because I had to meet my brother at mom's credit union to handle some estate business. When I went into the kitchen and bathroom I saw red. There were about 50 pieces of cereal ALL OVER THE KITCHEN FLOOR, about a thousand dishes in the sink (we still don't have our new dishwasher - another story), and the laundry basket that I've been telling Bean to empty and wash for 2 weeks is still overflowing. I was livid. No-Uh was screaming because he wanted to eat, but I had to wash a ton of dishes so that I could get to the sink and wash his high chair tray. I sent the angriest text of my life to FI on my way out the door. After handling things at the bank, I had to go to the grocery store with a fussy No-Uh. When I got home, Bean and FI were sort of/half doing some things around the house. No surprise that they both tossed in the towel before things were truly done, and I still have a big mess to clean up when I get home from work. I have a headache just thinking about it.

Saturday afternoon I got a message from a friend of Mom's asking for a piece of jewelry back that she had gifted to my mother years before. I was annoyed at the timing of her request, but painfully dug through drawers of my mom and grandma's jewelry to find what she was looking for.

After that, we headed to Bean's soccer game. The game was a nail biter! Our boys scored the winning goal in the last few minutes. It was a really fair match up. The only thing that bugged me and almost had me beating people with my cane was the other team was fouling our boys left and right, and the parents were laughing and cheering them on for it. The field official wasn't calling any of the fouls, so I was just letting it go. Then one of the opposing team members and one of our boys collided in air, just barely, in the course of play - and our player got fouled. It was pretty ridiculous. In the end Bean's team won, the parents acted like sore losers, and we went to go get ice cream.

Yesterday we went to my mom's grave and took her flowers. One of her coworkers met us there and we had a nice visit. We all joked, because they haven't placed her marker, so we always guess which spot is actually mom. We know the area, and I'm sure we're always within one or two spots haha Its funny because Mom always shared her flowers with everyone, so it's fitting. Turns out (no one from the cemetery ever mentioned it) that they can put a temporary marker until her stone and bench arrive later this summer. My brother and SIL got me a small bunch of stargazer lillies - some of my favorites!

Earlier in the morning, I had talked to my dad and when he found out that we were going to visit mom, he said "Please tell her I still love her." I lost it.

@Beanbot2002 - <<HUGS>>

Peaseblossom55 · May 2015

lots of hugs @beanbot2002

beanbot2002 · May 2015

I'm the worlds biggest debbie downer. I'm sorry guys. I did get early morning Mother's Day sexy times, so that was good.

ETA: Also less than 6 months till I marry my messy FI. He really is awesome. I'm being nitpicky about the cleaning because it grates on my OCD.

[Deleted User] · May 2015

@beanbot2002 Sending so many hugs! Don't apologize either! What you're going through is extremely hard and we are here for you no matter what!

beanbot2002 · May 2015

@southernpeach89 xoxoxoxoxo

jenna8984 · May 2015

The cats on facetime is the cutest thing!!

@southernpeach89 That was so sweet of him, what an adorable gift!

Saturday I hiked a mountain in NH with my friend. She's been working out for the past 6 months for her wedding and I have not been so I felt bad that I kept stopping for breaks and holding her back! And my legs are SO sore.

Tonight we're going to look at a house. Fingers crossed because we had an offer accepted last week and a bunch of sketchy shit turned up during inspections and we backed out. It was kinda heartbreaking, so I'm hoping tonight's is even better!

speakeasy14 · May 2015

@beanbot2002 I was thinking of you all weekend, and gave my mom an extra hug just because of your words. I'm glad you were able to laugh while visiting your mom. That's the best way to remember someone; sharing funny and happy memories. Hopefully the men in your life get their act together and you come home to a clean house.

@swazzle love those chairs! Can't wait to see the finished product!

@southernpeach89 That is so sweet that he gave you a gift for your first mother's day!

@goldenpenguin you're getting married this week!!!!

@lmcooper86 Can't wait to hear all about your wedding and see pictures!!!

@hummingbird125 your date night sounds like it was a lot fun. We made a corn hole set for my sister's wedding and have brought it out every family function and bbq since.

@futuremrshistorian Congratulations on graduating!!!

I had a nice weekend. Saturday we visited my old roommate and her husband. She's due mid-July so we let the guys drink while we had girl time. She kept trying to get me to feel the baby kicking, but he was kicking into her ribs, so I felt nothing. Her husband is a very neurotic first time dad and is being overly cautious with everything. He has a bachelor party in Atlantic city the last weekend of May and was panicking about leaving her alone. My bf has a bachelor party the same weekend so it is perfect timing for a girl's weekend. We haven't had time for just us girls since their wedding two years ago. So it is going to be a weekend of fun and pampering.

Yesterday I spent the day with my mom. We were supposed to get massages, but the spa said they were not allowed to give her one until 6 weeks after surgery (she's at 4). So we had to cancel and went for pedicures instead. Then we got ice cream and met up with my brother, bil, and sister. We went shopping and my bf met us at Ulta so we could go spend time with his family. We had a bbq at his uncle's, and ended up getting home around 11. I had a horrible migraine, and no medication on me. The drive home was horrible because I was nauseous and everything was bothering me. I ended up collapsing when we got to the house. My bf was amazing though, and he quickly picked me and tucked me into bed. Feeling better today, I need to remember to get more medication so I have it on me.

Today I have round two of replacing my fillings. This time it is the right side of my mouth. Depending how I feel afterwords I may go to the house to help my bf, or I may just go home and sleep. Tomorrow my entire family is taking my mom out to Melting Pot for her mother's day dinner.

KeptInStitches · May 2015

@beanbot2002, extra hugs.

@futuremrshistorian, congrats on graduating!

@goldenpenguin, happy wedding week!

@dignity100, right now they want us to put him back on a clumping litter. TMI alert: since he's already on urinary s/o food, one of the issues is that he pees a TON to help keep his system cleaned out (drinks a ton, too), and clumping litters didn't work before. The vet thinks a deeper box is the key. I'm going to add a little Cat Attract to it, too, to encourage him to use his box. We'll steam-clean his carpet tonight, give him the new litter and box, and watch him for the next week.

eilis1228 · May 2015

@Swazzle Love those chairs for the porch!

@Hummingbird125 I wish I could love your post more than once! It sounds like an amazing weekend!

@southernpeach89 Awwwww what a sweet gift from your H! I'm so glad the move went smoothly as well! Movers are seriously worth every penny.

@lmcooper86 OMG YOU'RE AN OMH!

@GoldenPenguin WEDDING WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@futuremrshistorian CONGRATS, LADY! Yay! Also, I feel ya on the crazy weather. A few towns near here are flooding like crazy (tons of helicopter rescues were reported over the weekend), and another town near here where I have a few friends was hit twice by a tornado yesterday. It's been a ridiculously active spring!

@caseface5 I tried the ST Oven Fried Chicken last week, and it was to die for. Low calorie and absolutely delicious! If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it.

@keptinstitches Happy Birthday!

@beanbot2002 Sending the biggest hugs!

@jenna8984 Crossing my fingers that you guys find a house soon!

@speakeasy14 Oh geez, I'm glad your migraine went away. That sounds awful!

----------------------

This weekend was fun! Friday night we went and saw Avengers with a couple of friends. It was monsooning outside, so a movie night was great. Saturday we went with a few friends for brunch and to see a Sherlock Holmes exhibit at a local museum. It was the final weekend for the exhibit, so I really wanted to catch it before it left. We got there, and the museum was PACKED. The line to get tickets was backing up into a different room, and it was basically shoulder-to-shoulder people. We stood in line for 20 minutes to buy tickets only to find out that the Sherlock Holmes exhibit was sold out. Womp womp. We walked to a nearby gastropub and had a drink to commiserate. Then we all went our separate ways, and FI and I vegged all night. I watched Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (which was OK... not really getting all the hype for it), and FI played video games. Sunday we went to a really fancy prime rib/steakhouse nearby with FFILs to celebrate Mother's Day. It was NOMS. I ate soooo much delicious food! Afterwards we went to Costco with his parents, and then we laid on the couch for a few hours because we were too full to function. A little later we grabbed dinner (once everything had digested) and watched GoT at a friend's house.

I mentioned this in the fitness post, but this weekend I finally weighed myself. I'm 5 pounds up from my normal weight, which wasn't TOO shocking since I've been eating like shit for a while, but it was still tough to realize. I ordered a FitBit Charge HR, which should be here today, and I'm now bound and determined to lose 9 pounds. I got up this morning and did 50 minutes on the elliptical, which is amazing because it's almost impossible to get me out of bed before 7:30. I've got a ton of energy and am in a great mood! Yeah! Those 9 pounds are toast!

KeptInStitches · May 2015

@eilis1228, thanks, a day early!

jenna8984 · May 2015

@eilis1228 Thank you! You totally got this weight loss thing- that's amazing that you did 50 minutes today!!

@speakeasy14 eeeeew dentist- no fun! Hopefully it doesn't hurt at all, and I'm super jealous that you get Melting Pot tomorrow, I've been dying to try that place.

Blackbird230 · May 2015

Posting quickly at work because I was thinking, how's @allusive007 doing??? I will read everybody's posts promise!

lavenderfields13 · May 2015

@Hummingbird125 but I want you to AW all your stuff! lol. I like seeing other people's ideas because I am not creative at all. FI wants to maybe do cornhole for outside our reception too. I need to see if we can

@southernpeach89 that is sweet that your H got you a mommy to be gift

@beanbot2002 You are not a debbie downer. I know I would not be able to keep it together and I hope it helps you that you can talk about it here

@futuremrshistorian Congrats on graduation!!

@keptinstiches I hope your H's cat isn't sick. My cat has been throwing up quite often lately and it's worrying me. I'm going to start tracking how much she's doing it now in case I need to call the vet. I worry about every little thing she does, God help me if I have human children.

@jenna8984 good luck with the house!

I had an OK weekend. I don't think I did anything on Friday. Saturday I went for a walk in the morning, went for my massage and then went to the mall to try to find something for my bachelorette party. I ended up getting a top from Francesca's and a new pair of jeans. I wanted to get a dress option too in case it ended up being warm but I didn't find anything I liked. Although now the weather looks like 65 and rainy here on Saturday

There were SO MANY people at the mall and I was annoyed. I thought people would be outside since it was gorgeous out.

Yesterday I went to my aunt's and grandmother's and had a cookout with them and my cousins. Very low key. FI went to see his mom, aunt and cousin.

I wasn't sure what to get my mom so I was asking her yesterday if she was getting her nails done before she comes out to see me this weekend. She said she was getting a pedicure today so I called the spa this morning and prepaid for it for her. I hope it will be a nice little surprise.

I have so much work to get through today. Hopefully I will go for a walk when I get out and I need to mail the final payments that are due on Wednesday for my photographer and DJ!! The time really snuck up on me. I need to go over the rest of my contracts to make sure I'm not late on anything else and me and FI really need to go over our ceremony to make some edits.

I also need to clean the house before my mom comes. And we still haven't booked a HM.

I feel like I have no time to breathe!

speakeasy14 · May 2015

@jenna8984 I had an appointment for the left side last week, so I already know how I'll feel, I think that is making me more nervous. When you get a chance to go to melting pot, my suggestions are the beer cheese and any of the desserts (but my favorite is the chocolate turtle). And their lovetinis are one of my favorite drinks. I've only ever gone as date or with girl friends so it will be interesting with my family of 10.

@allusive007 Hope you and baby are doing well!

@lavenderfields13 that was super sweet for you to pay for your mom's nails! I'm sure she'll be surprised once she finds out.

phira · May 2015

@GoldenPenguin AHHHHHHH

@lmcooper86 LADY

@mrsfuturehistorian CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

My weekend was absolutely exhausting.

Friday, on my way to the gym after work, the most horrible bro ever was on the train with his friends. I think he might have been drunk, but either way, he was having a loud, profanity-laden, incredibly brainless offensive conversation with his friends/himself, and he ended up making some really horrible comments that triggered my PTSD. I tried to ride it out but ended up having to get off the train and rent a one-way Zipcar home and just curl up on the couch for the rest of the night.

Saturday was a super long day. I had to get to work by 8am to get a few things done before J and I caught the train out to where my brother lives. We went to my step-niece's baseball game, which was really fun! She played really well (like, seriously, she's definitely at least one level above most of her teammates), and her team remains undefeated for the season. After that, we got lunch and spent the day with my brother and sister-in-law, and then my mom came over for early Mothers' Day dinner. We didn't get home till late, and birdo was super clingy about it, but it was worth it.

Slept incredibly late yesterday, and then we went to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's house for Mothers' Day. We had a nice time, although my allergies got incredibly horrific by the end of the night. Also, we were eating outside on the picnic table in their backyard, and my brother-in-law accidentally spilled a bowl of salad dressing and it got almost entirely on me. I was wearing shorts, so most of it got on my skin, but I was very greasy until I could get home and shower! Also, homemade vinaigrette really stings when it hits bare, recently-shaved legs ...

I'm exhausted today as well, and my allergies are STILL bad even though I doubled up on antihistamines. UGH!

AlPacina · May 2015

@swazzle - Nice find on those chairs! I'm extra excited to get a bigger house because there is this sweet estate auction house outside of the city that always has amazing furniture. I've just never had the space for any of it!.... Also, those kitties are adorable.

@southernpeach89 - Happy first mother's day! (a day late)... Your H's present sounds so sweet.

@futuremrshistorian - Congrats on walking at graduation, lady! What an amazing accomplishment. (Have you technically graduated with your diploma yet? I know nothing about grad school, haha)

@beanbot2002 - Jumpingin on the virtual hug train.... *hugs*

@jenna8984 - I hope you like the house tonight! We're house hunting together! So glad the inspection turned that stuff up.

@speakeasy14 - The Melting Pot is to me what Disney parks are to @Dignity100 and @eilis1228. So jealous!

@eilis1228 - Stay safe in that crazy weather! :S

----------------------------------------------

My weekend was fabulous! Friday night we went to bed too early, but whatever, I'll do what I want. I made chicken and asparagus that was to die for. I guess that's what happens when you cook chicken in butter.

Saturday morning, my BF's dad drove down from his hometown and we went to Whiskeytown! I was the DD, so I didn't drink all that much, but I did try about 7 or 8 samples, and had some awesome food. They also had mini pig races, which was the cutest thing I have ever seen. And for how small of an area the festival covered, they had 5 separate stages with awesome music. We met my dog's GF's parents and their pup at the festival, and their dog got so excited when she saw me that she ripped the leash out of her owner's hand and ran over to me! It was so sweet. I also wore my new polka dot dress and had multiple girls tell me they loved it..... That night we hung out with his dad and BBQ'd and drank.

Sunday morning we went out to breakfast and I ate way too much. I tried the Southwest Eggs Benedict, which had chorizo patties for the meat, and they added some salsa-esque spices to the hollandaise. It was amazing! We drove to BF's hometown and made teriyaki skewers with veggies and chicken, and as a random addition wrapped chunks of pineapple in turkey bacon. Again, I ate way too much.

Last night we went to go see the great dane puppy! Unfortunately all of the puppies in the litter that were sold ended up with parvo. Luckily, they all got to the vet in time and are doing well. He was back home when I went to visit, and he was so rambunctious! He kept tripping himself with his giant feet. And after about 15 minutes of playing he fell asleep in my lap on the floor and I almost cried from the cuteness. He's supposed to gain 5-7 pounds a week, so next time I see him he will already be much bigger.

Now that I'm done with my novel, I really need to get some fucking work done so I don't have to work late. It's BF's birthday, and I still haven't wrapped his fucking presents. Ugh.

@TwoDimes FI wanted to go on a HM right away so we will be trying to leave a week after the wedding. We had to wait until April to make sure he could get the days off so we really lost a lot of options. We want a Caribbean all inclusive vacations and a lot of places are already booked. It doesn't help that we have a tight budget and are being way too picky.

I really would rather wait now until we can book at a place we love but he wants to go right away! I don't want to spend thousands on a place that is just OK though because we have such few options.

I've got my mom helping to look for us too now lol. It's so time consuming. We really just want too much for our budget.

Monday!
