What's up for the weekend?
It's the last day of Vacation Bible School. THANK GOODNESS! The zoo is coming in today so that should be kind of awesome.
Tomorrow we're going to the good farmer's market and then a Crew game. There will be fireworks at the game so it should be fun. Sunday will probably just be the pool.
Thank goodness I'm going into the office next week. I just dropped shitton of cash on the UNIFORMS for 6let's soccer.

Oh and we still need to clean and weed the abandoned flower boxes. Why do I host parties?!
SIL gets married today! It's the calm before the hair stylist/MUA Storm. It's a beautiful day not too hot, no rain for the ceremony on the top of a mountain. Can't wait! Here is where the ceremony is, it's H and I and the rehearsal. Also there is a bar at the top.
Tonight: We're doing dinner with my parents. Belated Father's Day with my dad.
Tomorrow: I have to work and then I may be heading to A's mom's house for a party and stop in at my friend's house to (finally) give her the beer I picked up for her in GA (can't get it here).
Sunday: We *might* be going to FIL's to have brunch with BIL/SIL/nieces.
I'm getting a haircut after work today and picking up our new produce box. Tomorrow we're seeing Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson so I'm SUPER excited about that.
We've also got to grocery shop, clean, weed, etc.
@charlotte989875, that is beautful! Where are they getting married? (In general--not trying to skinsuit anyone.)
I just made out my to-do list for the weekend. Lots of chores tonight, and prep for tomorrow's meet. Tomorrow is Wooz's last meet of the season, and DH's birthday, and Wooz's swim banquet. I also have to pick up DH's and Wooz's cakes. I was going to make DH his favorite Oreo/ice cream thing, but it's been such a week that he and the kids ate half the Oreos while I was gone, and I've eaten most of a pint of the ice cream. So I threw in the towel yesterday and ordered both of them Cold Stone cakes. Sunday is Wooz's birthday party and hopefully not much else.
I had a camp-related freak out this morning, because I scheduled Wooz at Kids-R-Kids camp only for the weeks that they're doing a theme park trip. (That's really the only part of their camp she likes, and she is a coaster freak so it's a good way for her to get her fix without having to schlep the whole family there multiple times in 95 degrees/95% humidity.) I started getting emails about completely different dates and was afraid I fucked up her whole camp schedule, but when I asked the director this morning, it turned out I was just on the wrong group's email list. Everything's cool, and I'm happy again.
LOVE. IT. I texted his mom like three seconds after she opened it, and I took a video of Wooz signing "thank you" and sent it to her.
ETA @Heffalump I practically grew up at Jekyll Island. The place is gorgeous. Now I'm jealous, too.
I'm a huge extrovert, but this last month has pushed me passed my reserves. Being around more than 3 people gets a bit hairy for me still. I guess being around 3500 will do that to you.
FSIL and her 2 girls are in town for a few days, so FI and I will be hanging out with them all weekend.
I swear buying this house is going to kill me or make me go bald. If the loan people don't figure their shit out soon, I'm going to lose it. They've got 21 days.
One of my supervisors is going on vacation for 2 weeks. It is going to be nice and quiet. But she is leaving at the most inopportune time, the current fiscal year ends 6/30
And now we get to do it all over again this fall. Yay.
We're heading out of town in about an hour to watch son play. Today they're playing in a(n old) minor league stadium (it's currently a collegiate stadium) so it will be pretty cool. Not looking forward to the 2 hour trip to get there.
Tomorrow I'll be prepping for Son's birthday party on Sunday.
Wooz asked if she was going to die, and I had to be honest and say no one knows for sure, but probably not. Then she asked if the medicine could make her die and I said no, definitely not, but she might feel sick for a while, and her hair might fall out. Y'all, she was blown away. "It's going to fall out? Why? Will she wear a wig? What kind of wig?" I told her Grandma probably hasn't decided all that yet, but Wooz can ask when we see her. "Do you think she'll want a colored wig?" I told her Grandma works for a church and is pretty conservative, so probably not, but we'll see. Wooz kind of has her heart set on the sparkly pink wig we saw at Party City.
Tomorrow is our anniversary so we're going to have an evening of steak and cocktails.
Sunday we're having FSIL and her boyfriend over for a roast dinner and too much wine!

@charlotte989875 that's beautiful (and I love your dress!) He is going for 3 weeks, working for an exchange program with the freshman at the University of Science and Technology in Beijing. Basically, they bring over American teachers so the students have to practice their English. Unfortunately, with the wedding, we couldn't financially justify a trip for me too. I told him he just has to promise to go back one more summer so I can come out and visit. I want to walk the Great Wall too!
WE've made jam, and we are currently making soap-dough.
FTR, if anyone ever tells you making soap products is a great way to get things/your kid clean? throw soap in their eyes and kick them in the shins.
We've got a TON of stuff going on - Going away party for a friend, grad party , comedy fundraiser (and to what if any we'll go is truly up in the air right now), then...
I'm in the process of updating all business materials so I figured "Oh - this'd be a GREAT shoot site" (historical theater) and the photographer I interviewed and referenced loves that old style picture feel so even better - called the potential shoot site and I had two choices, next week or two months from now (really, I don't need the production guy there to let me in and turn the lights on, but if that's the way they do business, <shrug>)... Tuesday... I've got until Tuesday to get my sh** together, do all costuming, props, etc. to shoot in a historic theater near here, my stylist is such a sweetheart she is coming in early to do hair/makeup that morning... And do you think any stores around here carry NICE dress clothes for a size 24W (i.e. upper end business dress level) OH He** Nooooo they don't! How hard is it to find a BLACK suit jacket?!?!?!? It does kill the ego though looking at so many smaller sized clothes that you LOVE the style of but they don't come in plus sizes at any price point because the only clothes they've got styled to fit in stores right now are reminiscent of muumuu's. JCP is finally changing in this regard and getting some "classic" suit styles back (I couldn't even find a "little black dress" anywhere) but other stores are slow to follow. But on a good note, the photographer prefers to go through the proofs right there on the spot before doing the retouching so that's a bonus...
