Good morning! How was your weekend? 

Friday, I met H at our favorite local sushi restaurant for dinner and then we went home and lounged. I finished The Scorch Trials! @bethsmiles - I've become obsessed. I started the final book this morning. 

Saturday, I tried to sleep in but Brody wasn't allowing that as he felt the need to fling his body into the closet doors repeatedly. So, I was up at 8am. I spent the day packing for my trip and I also ended up finally emptying about 4 moving boxes that were in my bedroom. I have a box of things to donate and I also filled a whole ThredUp mailing bag with clothes. Hopefully I get some good money for it all. When H got home from work, we went to his friend's wrestling event. It was my first ever and it was definitely interesting lol

Yesterday, H and I took Lucy to meet up with my mom since she's puppysitting while we're away. I miss her so much already. In the afternoon, we had our nephew's 1st birthday party which was nice. I finished packing my clothes when we got home and then watched Big Brother, showered, and started to watch Fear the Walking Dead but fell asleep so I need to finish that tonight.

After work, I have to cook dinner and then H's friend who's checking in on the kitters is stopping by so we can give him a run down. I'd like to organize the rest of the stuff I have to pack so that tomorrow night isn't too stressful. We're both working on Wednesday but once we leave for work that morning, we won't be going back home until September 5th! I have to make sure we're all packed so that H can take our luggage when he leaves in the morning. I can't believe how soon it is!

    @bride2b71614 - You dress is gorgeous and your new addition is adorable! Where in Philly did you move to? I grew up in Southwest (not a good neighborhood nowadays!). 

    @southernpeach89 - I hope you feel better and the test goes well today! I CANNOT believe how close we are to meeting Callie! 

    @CocoBellaF - That cake sounds amazing and yay for early birthday presents!

    @Swazzle - The cake was amazing.  You could see/taste the bits of lemon zest in it.  YUM.  I had another piece yesterday and brought the rest to work today.

    @swazzle, were in center city. More toward the schuylkill river. One of the charming little brownstones near the dog park. It's an awesome neighborhood that has a suburban feel with all the city amenities.

    @southernpeach89 the shower sounds lovely. I am so excited for you!

    @CocoBellaF I have a kitchenaid mixer and I flipping love it. There are so many attachments that you can use with it (I.e a juicer, a pasta maker, etc.), so it's a really versatile tool. Have fun with it!

    @TwoDimes - Indy is queen of the patio! Also that would be crazy if @southernpeach89 was having a boy instead! That's (incorrect ultrasound) not very common anymore is it?

    @bride2b71614 You look gorgeous! Your new puppy is so cute

    @swazzle whoo almost vacation time!

    @TwoDimes the furniture looks great and Indy looks like she is thoroughly enjoying it

    @jenjen047 Glad you had a great girls weekend and your BM are going to look so gorgeous! Glad that everyone found something they loved

    @jenna8984 what shop do you go to? If your guy is booked out that far he must be amazing! I like my guy but he works so slowly and he's always late and it annoys me

    @Swazzle I forgot to ask, was there alcohol at your nephew's fancy 1st birthday? Did he do a cake smash?

    @jenna8984 Yeah, I agree that's a little OTT about having someone check on her cat after only being gone for a single evening....but you don't mean you left your cat alone for 2 weeks without no one to check on it? Right?? That's a really long time...

    wow everyone had such a busy weekend!! I think everyone has already said to others what I would say :)

    Friday was busy. My friend B came over cuz her bf was away doing stuff, so I did groceries and then we had dinner and chit-chatted. {future reference to all; don't allow friends to join you doing groceries. Looking back, should have just met up later ...} She stayed until about 10:30 ish

    Saturday Matt was up early to donate blood. I lay in bed for at least half hour after he left. Did dishes, made myself breakfast, tidied up what I could, moved pieces of wood towards the door to take out, did a face mask ...
    Matt came home, he played some video games and then we brought down wood to the car and headed to the beach.
    Chilled there. Opted not to swim.
    Went to friend's place for BBQ and fire. They have a huge property and since the old frame had to get snapped to come apart, we brought it for firewood.

    BBQ, chill, met some goats, fire started. Punch made {orange pop, Crush pineapple and Sailor Jerry's Rum - all sweet enough to mix great}
    Went for a walk down some old train tracks. Glow sticks. Dry wood.
    By the time we left, I was so cold! I brought a sweater and capri's but should have just brought pants or normal shoes.

    Slept in super late on Sunday. I woke up, fed cats, went back to bed until 11am
    Organized stuff, made meatballs and headed to my mum's place for dinner.
    Didn't stay late and came home just to relax.

    Good thing I typically wake up early because I didn't set my alarm. {at least that's what we're assuming}

    Tonight Matt wants to have just a chill night since we were pretty busy last night and all weekend. I'll prob throw some laundry in still. Lol


    Edit:
    I finally got a video of the ceremony and it's on my youtube channel.
    youtube.com/bunnycart is my channel but I will be linking it properly later.

    @lavenderfields13 Piercing Emporium in Worcester. He only does full day appointments that he custom draws. They don't take people who just walk in wanting a butterfly or something like that. He was invited to be on Ink Master but turned it down because he's not into that.

    @labro glad you had fun at the tasting! I haven't heard of those books...my faves were Scruffy the Tugboat and Dr. Suess. And about my cat.....yes but not on purpose. When we went to Asia, my brother was supposed to go over every few days. Well, I don't exactly trust him so I left out about 15 tupperwares of food & water. He sent me a FB message halfway into the trip (the only way I could communicate over there) that he couldn't get his key to work and he couldn't get in. I was like WTF do you mean?! He could see her through the window and see that she was fine and there was still food, otherwise I would have made him break a window to get in. I was so mad at him. Apparently he had been trying to jam the wrong key in because when we got home the lock was all fucked up and our key would barely go in. So yea, he's never been asked to be on cat duty ever again.

    Oh I forgot to talk about my weekend- probably because it was not very memorable lol

    Friday I made dinner when I came home and then sat on the couch all night and finished reading The Kind Worth Killing. I liked it. I moved on to the next book- How to Read the Air. I couldn't make it past the first page of the third chapter. I just wasn't feeling it. So I started the Tyrant's Daughter instead. I think H and I watched TV for a bit when he came home. 

    So I was supposed to receive my delivery from ON on Friday and one from Target on Saturday but my local PO is ridiculous so they just got delivered this morning :(  I want to try on my shoes and blazers to see what I need to return. I also requested another SF delivery and I'm feeling kind of guilty. I think they clothes are overpriced but I can't get over the excitement of having clothes show up at my door lol. I said I was looking for some colored skinny pants for the fall like maroon/burgundy. Not sure if they have anything like that right now. Anyone have any or seen any that they like?

    Saturday I did pretty much nothing except finish the last of the wedding TY notes! H STILL has to write one to his parents and I'd like to write ones to our vendors- the ones I actually liked. I think it's been 3 weeks and I never heard back from my photographer after I asked for a specific refund. He's an ass.

    Yesterday I got a mani/pedi at a new place down the street and then I went with H to pick up a GC for his mom's birthday. We're having dinner with his parents tonight to celebrate.

    @jenna8984 That's good! For a second I was bout to send you a serious side eye for leaving your cat alone for two weeks intentionally! Sometimes I feel similar about my youngest sister. She's supposed to watch our dog (and hers) over Labor Day weekend but I'm really  questioning my decision making right now. Hopefully she actually takes care of both dogs and we don't have accidents in the house....

    @lavenderfields13 I feel like they do have some maroon/burgundy skinny pants right now! I know I saw some girl showing off a pair on one of the FB B/S/T SF pages. Fingers crossed you get some!

    @cu97tiger Your vacation sounds awesome! I've never been to Savannah or Hilton Head but would love to go someday. Ugh I hate going through emails when I get back from vacation.

    @jenna8984 I would have been pissed too. I worry when I leave my cat for like 3 days lol. She's my baby.

    @labro I thinkt I saw some too but I thought she said they were leggings? And in my note I specified no Emers (not even sure if they have these in other solid colors) but they are WAY out of my budget for pants.

    @labro - I love those books! There was alcohol but I was a little hungover from the night before paired with the early morning to get Lucy to my mom so I stuck with Sprite and water. He was completely covered in icing and cupcake! It as SO cute! 

    @Peaseblossom55 - Still sending hugs and love and vibes your way. I won't be here on Thursday but the second I get somewhere with wi-fi, I'll be looking for an update from your appointment and I truly hope it's a good one <3

    @cu97tiger - SO glad you loved Mrs. Wilkes as much as I did! Your vacation sounds amazing!

    @lavenderfields13 - I tried on a really great pair of maroon pants at Target a week or two ago. My store didn't have the size I needed and I was really bummed out about it. I looked online but didn't see them in that color so maybe they're only in stores. I believe THIS is them, but again, I don't see the maroon available online.

    @peaseblossom55 I was thinking of you and wanted to tag asking how you were doing but I didn't know if that would be intruding so I didn't. I'm glad you are here and doing better, and your family will continue to be in my thoughts!

    @cu97tiger Yesssss your trip sounds amazing, and once again a very happy birthday!!!!! Those are really sweet gifts from your friends.

    @misskittydanger whoa you went back to bed til 11? That sounds glorious, I can never get my body to sleep past 8am even on vacations.

    @lavenderfields13 I saw fall colored skinny pants at American Eagle last week!

    @labro aaaw man, hope she does ok with your doggie! It's hard to not be worried.

    @peaseblossom55 - You've been in my prayers.  

    @Swazzle OMG so close!!!!!!!

    @jenjen047 I love those photos! 

    @TwoDimes  Indy is so cute!

    @southernpeach89 I hope you feel better!

    @bride2b71614 You look stunning!

    @labro - LOVE all those books...you are going to be the best auntie ever! 

    I'm taking a half day today and trying to get through work in the meantime.  I had a wonderful weekend for the most part.  H and I went boating with my aunt and her wife on Saturday.  We had such a good time drinking and catching up.  Unfortunately, my aunt told me she found a lump in her breast so we aren't sure what that is about yet but breast cancer runs in our family.  She seems in good spirit for now but we will have to see what the tests come back with.  

    Yesterday H and I left the dock early and I meal planned. I got eaten alive by mosquitoes even though H sprayed outside and I sprayed myself too...those bastards love me. I also have no idea what is going on with my body though guys...AF was due last week and still hasn't arrived and, nope, not knocked up.  This is the first time I've missed a period though...honestly, I hope it just comes already.

    @TwoDimes LOL!!! That would definitely be a surprise if Callie turned out to be a boy....she would have a minuscule wiener for it not to be seen through all the ultrasounds lol.

    @jenjen047 Not everyone but my MIL decorated the house with lots of children's books that she let us keep so we got a lot of the classics. Also, it wasn't too long ago that there was an oops on the sex determination. It was on the news and a couple gave birth to a boy instead of a girl (which was what they were told). That would definitely throw me for a loop.

    @peaseblossom55 Still sending lots of prayers and thoughts your way. I've been thinking about you this whole weekend.

    @cu97tiger pictures of the bag and wallet!!

    @peaseblossom55 I was thinking of you all weekend.  I'm glad you're feeling more positive today.  Just stay positive, miracles happen everyday.  My brother was a miracle baby, born 3 1/2 months early.  He's now 21 and you would never know he struggled through his first year. 

    @swazzle for thredup it depends on the brand; I sent them two huge bags completely stuffed, but it was mostly items from kohls and old navy so I ended up getting about $10 each bag.  If it is more expensive items you'll get a better amount.

    This weekend was pretty relaxing.  I had bought the emerald dress from rent the runway, it is absolutely gorgeous, but there was a huge hole on the left side.  I contacted RTR and they asked me to send pictures of the damage.  After that they said for me to send it back and they would give me a full refund.  I'm glad they're refunding me, but I still need to find a dress.

    Saturday I ran a bunch of errands and then read The Maze Runner.  I finished it by the time my bf got home from work. I liked the plot and that was the only reason I kept reading.  On the fence if I should finish out the series or not.

    After my bf got home we went out for dinner and then went to one of his friend's house for a bonfire. I don't really know these friends, and really don't like the one girl, but luckily a girl I know was there so we just hung out the whole time.  While we were there, we found out my bf's best friend is B-listing for his wedding.  The one girl I knew said he had called her earlier and invited her to his wedding.  I couldn't stop my mouth from dropping.

    @lavenderfields13 I have a pair of maroon/burgundy skinny pants from Ann Taylor, I don't think they have them anymore, but I got them end of fall last year.
