With the exception of getting an angry text late Saturday night (I got home later than expected). The weekend was good.
Had lots of fun at the work thing, got weird vibeage from workplace crush, almost stole a penis straw from a bachelorette party, and had just a super awesome good time.
Oh and one of the spouses of a colleague and I had the exact same thought when she showed us the penis straw: "Does it light up?" and we were both disappointed when she said no. I was excited to meet him and he proved to be everything I thought he was: totally awesome and his wife was equally as awesome.
My weekend was pretty good. DH and I picked about 12 pounds of blueberries on Saturday. He's going to make a batch of blueberry wine with them - yum! We also went and picked up some bold red wine juice for him to start on as well. I am so excited he's back into his wine habit again. He took about a year break after finishing those wedding wines, I think he was just burnt out.
We went to a nice dinner Saturday night and then I took our foster pup to a mini-adopt-a-thon yesterday. We've been obsessively watching the Killing on netflix too.
Blueberry wine? That sounds awesome! We've still got some strawberry wine in the fridge, it hasn't been opened yet but it came to us last August so I don't know if it's still drinkable.
We need to take the kids berry picking, it's so much fun.
Apparently you can make blueberry wine taste almost like a cab by fermenting it with oak chips. Most of the blueberry flavor will be eaten by the yeast and he probably won't make it sweet, but it sounds like it will be great.
He made a dry strawberry wine last year and it is delicious. We're just starting to drink it now. It's like a dry rose with a finish of strawberries. Yum!

Weekend was good aside from this cold I caught. We spent Saturday traipsing around the City with DD. Sunday was spent at home getting things done around the house.
My weekend was good. Friday I went our with coworkers to celebrate passing my test. Saturday I managed not to completely melt, did some cleaning, and met up with a friend for lunch. Yesterday was pretty chill. I'm working on finalizing plans for my trip to NY & NJ in August.
Oh, my mom ran a half marathon yesterday and set a new PR! She finished in 2 hours, 23 minutes. And it was hot and somewhat humid. I'm so proud of her!
I had an awesome weekend. I was able to convince DH to go out to dinner on Saturday. We went to our friend's restaurant and splurged on the five course meal. It was an awesome treat! I was also happy to go to bed wicked early yesterday, but some clown set of a bottle rocket at midnight to mark the beginning of the big soccer game. Not cool. It is such a frightening sound when you are not expecting it, so I had a very hard timw getting back to sleep.
H went to a gun show with his dad and a friend on Saturday, so DS and I hung out all day.
Yesterday was mah birfday. We went to my mom's house for dinner and cake. The leftover cake is hiding (from H) in my microwave.
We had a big thunderstorm last night. DS came running into our room around 1:30 this morning saying "what's that sound". We told him it was thunder and that it was raining and he said "thunder is very, very loud. tell it to shhh. aaron is sleepy". We all finally fell back asleep and I woke up to a face full of toddler feet.
My sister was visiting and helping with projects. We got the playroom almost all the way painted. I'm painting big horizontal stripes on two walls, and solid colors on the other. So all the solids are done, just have to do the stripes in between. The color is kinda crazy but it came out awesome.
It was really nice to have her around. Oh, and H and I went on a date Friday night! We hadn't been out solo since Valentines Day. It was so nice.
Friday involved a lot of champagne which is always good to me. Saturday was a lazy day avoiding the heat. Sunday involved grocery shopping and avoiding the heat.
My IUD has finally stopped hurting. DL, all of your wine sounds amazing! @chirp, happy birthday!!! Boyfriend finally made my birthday cake last night so I invite you to share my flourless chocolate cake! It has to stay in the fridge tonight and then there will be raspberries and fresh whipped cream.
It was a low key weekend. We ran errands, saw friends, and went to the James Turrell exhibit at the Guggenheim. It was really cool.
It was a nice weekend.
And I saw Monsters University. It was really cute- especially if you were able to ignore the masses of screaming kids in the theatre. There is a limit, people.
I'm back from vacation. My weekend was pretty cool. I saw a real live sloth on Saturday eating leaves, hung out at a resort by the pool sipping pina coladas and wishing my vacation didn't have to end.
I am a little battered though. We went to an archpeligo called Bocas Del Toro in Panama. I snorkeled in a coral reef, walked a shallow bay filled with starfish. It was so beautiful. I am battered by hopping back in the boat. No ladder and beer means bruises for me.

Happy Birthday, Chirp!!
Saturday was good, it was just DS and me. Sunday I got in a fight with H, and then got in an argument with my mom, and then got in a fight with H again. It was super fun. I finally got DS into bed last night and crawled into bed myself around 11:30.
I feel like I'm going to explode. I need a break...

Fun Fact... My very first real job was at a local farm picking blueberries during the summer. I got paid 10 cents a pound. I can't eat make myself eat them anymore...

Ohmygod, we barely could do it for an hour.
Well, I was 12, so I had that "youthful stamina". I'm pretty sure I would die if I tried to do it for a full day now!

As for the situation with H, I'm sure that things would go much smoother if I could eat shit politely with a knife and fork, but I've done that for almost 12 years. I'm full.
