Ugh. I'm hoping shit calms down soon.  I'm hoarding stress like it's my job.  Insomnia is going to kill me. /rant

At least it's Friday. ;)  What'sup for your weekend?

Tomorrow we're having my family over and we're combining the Derby, Cinco De Mayo, and Mother's Day in one day.  :D  Juleps and margs should go down just fine. 

Sunday, if the weather is not too bad we'll probably do some yardwork and I'm hoping DH will want to smoke some chicken.  I'm all about some grilling.  

I just hope I can wake up one day this weekend and feel rested.

    Feeling rested is SO important to me for the weekends, mrsconn. I hear ya! And in my meal planning for next week, I'd planned to grill twice and H was talking about how he'd grill every day. So I added a third thing for the grill! Hopefully the weather is nice.

    It's been so cold that my friends hadn't been able to have their adult easter egg hunt yet. So tomorrow is the Cinco De Derby Egg Hunt. LOL

    ETA - I want to bake next week for a coworker in another office. So it would have to keep for a couple days (I bake one night, take it to work the next, hand it off to someone and they take it to the other office the next day).

    What do you guys bake that keeps well?

    I've got to go to our city's artwalk b/c one of my former board members has his own art displayed.  I'm excited to see his stuff.  Other than that, just a lot of community work stuffs to catch up on.  I know my VP talked to the ED.  VP said ED was receptive, wanted some time to process before reaching out for our meeting, so maybe that'll happen this weekend.  

    My uterus is currently trying to vacate my body, so that's fun.  Explains the crankiness for the last few days.

    Tomorrow is a super hectic day. FI is working and has to leave the house at 5:30am. I have to take DS to swimming then to a birthday party straight after. Thankfully, it's all close to home. I'm just going to be looking forward to wine afterwards.

    Work all weekend. Boo. I can’t believe I forgot that FSIL and her bf would be staying here this weekend when I scheduled myself. And that it’s Cinco de Mayo. Oh well. We went out last night instead to have margaritas and I might have had too many. I’ve got a great hangover brewing. Otherwise SSDD. Poor Jack realized that the dog was over and then spent the rest of the day and night under our bed. He just came out this morning.

    I have to ask another question.

    So, one of my old friends is getting married. She and I were really close and I adore her but she moved and she has funky hours and I've only seen her a handful of times in the last several years.

    My best friend got a STD and I did not. I am not upset, but my friend said that if I don't get an invitation, I can be his guest (if he gets one).

    Would that make you uncomfortable? To have a friend who wasn't invited show up as someone's plus one?

    @ShesSoCold not gonna lie I read "my best friend got an STD and I did not" and I was thinking you guys had hooked up with the same person. Save The Date.  Whoops. 

    re: baking, sugar cookies decorated with royal icing keep for a long time. Or regular cookies and just put a piece of bread in with them for moisture control and they will stay ok.

    SSC - I would bake an apple cake, if you have one in your repertoire.  They keep really well!  As for the wedding, as long as there was no huge falling out or fight, then I would be fine with you being the plus one!

    I missed yesterday, but came to lurk for a bit.  There was a lot going on for me yesterday!  Nothing crazy, but steady.

    Not sure what is up for the weekend.  We need to get the lawn done before it rains this weekend.  So hopefully H can get it started when he gets home from work and DD goes down for her nap.  I can help finish up when I get home.

    We talked about cleaning out the garage since the weather won't be great.  We can pull the cars out and do our thing regardless of if its raining or not.  We also need to clean out the dryer vent, which hasn't been done in the 3 1/2 years we have been in the house.  It routes through the garage, so it will be the best time to do it.

    I think that’s wonderful! A great way to have someone you didn’t have room for still make it.

    Thanks! I was worried it would be an awkward "it's obvious that I didn't invite her and she's here" thing but I'm an irrational worrier.

    No falling out, she just lives an hour and a half away and works restaurant hours.

    Thank you!

    I agree with @STARMOON44.  If space and/or money were no issue, I'm sure your old friend would want you there.  I'd be thrilled if someone I had wanted to invite, but didn't have the room to, came as someone's guest.

    And you very well might get your own invite anyway.  Like we always say on here, not every guest needs to be sent an STD.

    yeah at first I thought that would have been weird, SSC, if I were in those shoes.... but as Starmoon pointed out, maybe it's a way to be invited even with lack of guest space?

    I don’t know, I think it might be weird to be the plus one.
