  @LizzyTish88 cousin parties ALWAYS turn into a good time. and OMG have so much fun at Brew @ the Zoo! Not sure which zoo you're going to, but I've worked at the one at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston for my company and even working it was fun! Animals + booze, what else could you ask for?
  
  @TwoDimes that concert sounds amazing! Hope you guys have a blast and have so much fun snuggling @minskat30 @labro Ani and Raj!
  
  I'm WFH today. H and I are taking Crindy to the vet soon to hopefully get to the bottom of this meowing at night business since we are getting super sleep deprived and we have to keep locking her in our bathroom which breaks my heart. Our latest theory is that she is not fixed/only partially fixed and is constantly in heat, which would be awful because that means the shelter we got her from lied to us, but would be an easy "fix" to get her symptoms under control (pun intended)
  
  Tonight H and I are going out to dinner in the city (if we can find somewhere to eat... don't even get me started) and then we're seeing Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally! It was my anniversary gift to H so I hope they're good. 
  
  This weekend is pretty low key and should be nice.

  @pambeesly524 - Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally were just here last night!! I was originally going to go, but I didn't. My friends that went said that they were incredible!! Also, I hope Crindy is okay  
  
  @lizzytish88 - have such a fun weekend!! 
  
  @TwoDimes - Please give @labro and @minskat30 and Ani and Raj ALL. THE. HUGS. for me. 
  
  I don't have much planned for the weekend, and I'm totally okay with that!

  @TwoDimes Your weekend sounds so fun! Give @minskat30 @labro Ani and Raj love from me!! The concert sounds fun too! This weekend is the countryfest here that we aren't going to for the first time in about 7 years. It's Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Sam Hunt and Old Dominion. I'm a tad sad we're missing it this year, but I'm sure I'll get over it.
  
  @PamBeesly524 Hope everything gets figured out with Crindy! 
  
  @GoldenPenguin Weekends with no plans are the best!! Have a good one!

  Happy Friday!
  Today is going to be an easy day at work bc all of the bosses are gone. We are having a potluck during lunch which should be fun. Tonight is date night but I have no idea what H and I are going to do. I might try to convince him to take me to my favorite Mexican restaurant. Because margaritas.
  Tomorrow H is working in the am and helping his grandpa in the pm, so I have the house all to myself! Not gonna lie, I'm kind of excited about that. I think we are going out for dinner to celebrate MIL's b-day.
  Sunday I'm hoping to make it to the pool one last time. Our community pool official closes after Labor Day weekend, which sucks. I think they should change that rule bc it stays hot in Texas at least until late October!
  
  @LizzyTish88 - Have fun at the zoo! That sounds like a fun event.
  @TwoDimes - Enjoy your time with @labro and @minskat30. I'm jealous!!!
  @PamBeesly524 - I hope they can figure out what's going on with her!

  @beachyone15 So agree on the pool rule! When we went to TX for my cousin's wedding last year we were all so sad all the pools/water was closed because it was still hot. We all looked like weirdos using the pools that were open too LOL.

  @lizzytish88 Brew at the zoo sounds AWESOME. 
  Have an AWESOME WEEKEND @twodimes @minskat30 and @labro !
  @beachyone15 Bossless days are the best, my boss has been out a couple days this week and I've loved it. So chill.
  
  My weekend should be awesome, if all goes as planned. I'm leaving work around 2 today to go to the airport to fly to Orlando for an impromptu Disney weekend with my best friend! Flying back on Sunday night. 
  
  My poor friend has had shit flight luck so far though, was supposed to fly out last night but the flight got cancelled. Got rescheduled on a flight first thing this morning... also cancelled. Now has to drive to another airport an hour away because all the flights out of my town were booked solid for today.
  
  The fun part is that our flights take off around the same time from different cities, land around the same time in Charlotte, and we will be on the same connecting flight to Orlando. Even manged to get our seats next to each other! So fingers crossed both our flights go smoothly!

  @minskat30 @TwoDimes @labro – I hope you all have an amazing weekend and G2G!

  @LizzyTish88 – How many cousins do you have? That’s awesome that you’re all getting together though! I don’t know my cousins super well because both of my parents have issues with their siblings. I’m super glad my aunt and a cousin are coming to my birthday getaway next month, though!

  @PamBeesly524 – I hope you have such a great time at the comedy show! I’ve always loved Megan Mullally.

  @beachyone15 – You have no idea how many times we’ve chosen Mexican for dinner because of the margaritas, rather than the food. Great plan! What’s your favorite margarita?

  @wink0erin – Sounds like your friend needs some serious luck vibes! I’ll send all the ones I’ve got!

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

  My boss (soon to be former boss) is back in the office after being out since my job announcement. I feel waaaaaaay awkward. I've definitely forgotten how to act natural.

  

  All of my weekend plans got cancelled due to people being lame. So I don't know what I'll do! Probably start a book. Hopefully do laundry, because my outfit today is definitely not coordinated. But I'll give myself points for at least only wearing clean items!

  @beachyone15 Forgot to add, the plan is every park. Hitting just the favorites and taking in the scenery.

  @AlPacina - My favorite is frozen - regular or swirl depending on my mood.
  BTW, congrats on the new job! When do you start?

  @beachyone15 - I start right after Labor Day! Although I guess my "move" isn't scheduled until that Thursday, so I don't know what my responsibilities are for those first two days, haha. Hopefully "teleworking".

  Oh hey I'm finally able to post.... Every time I would click post, I'd get logged out.  This is getting old.
  
  
  @minskat30, @labro, and @twodimes have fun this weekend! 
  
  @lizzytish88 I love how close your family is! Have fun at the cousin party!
  
  @wink0erin all the vibes your friend has better flight luck, and you both get to Orlando with no issues!  Have a blast this weekend!
  
  @PamBeesly524 OMG! Enjoy the comedy show, and don't drink a lot so you won't pee your pants ;-)
  
  @beachyone15 yummmm margaritas! I need to figure out how to make prickly pear margs, because those were freaking awesome
  
  @AlPacina just don't make eye contact with him haha
  
  So my bf's brother and his FI are on their way here now.  My bf is picking them up from the airport and then the guys are all going upstate for the bachelor party.  When I get home from work I'm picking up the bride and we're going to go to the local fair and binge on funnel cake.
  
  Tomorrow is the shower.  I can't wait to see how everything comes together.  Since they haven't been back on the east coast since November I didn't give an end time and told all the guests to bring their bathing suits.  Figured we'd just keep it casual and hang out.  
  
  Sunday will be spent cleaning until my bf gets home from the bachelor party.  Depending how he is functioning will mean either just lounging around or going out on the kayaks.

  @lizzytish88, good luck with draft!

  
  

  @twodimes, have fun at the concert!

  
  

  @pambeesly524, Ellie and Kade send nose-boops for Crindy.

  
  

  @beachyone15, have fun at date night!

  
  

  @wink0erin, have fun with your friend!

  
  

  @speakeasy14, good luck with the shower!

  Okay, I love teaching two days a week. I want to keep this rotation if the college keeps me because this is sooo civilized and going super-well to start!
  
  Tonight is gaming apparently. I was unaware. I'm confused by life in general.
  
  Tomorrow and Sunday H and I are going to clean the house like mad people because we have contractors coming out Monday to install a new AC and furnace. The AC crapped out this week for the last time (moment of silence for the 19-year-old unit); since the furnace is the same age, we're going to do them at the same time since furnaces never break up here when it's not -20F. I guess the house heard I had extra money and decided I didn't need it.
  
  Otherwise we're going to rework our budgets, especially with the upcoming reduction in free time. HC is good but I think we'll be cutting back/taking a break from it, and we're going to put a couple more things on hold. Adulting sucks.
  
  Sunday we're going out to eat with my uncles. One of my uncles has never had calamari, and even though we're in the dead center of a continent and the thought of fresh seafood is laughable, I'm willing to have calamari with him.

  No truer statement has ever been spoken! Ah, homeownership.
