Good morning!!
The good? I spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. PiLife on Galveston Island! The whole weekend was pretty much a blast! Definitely up there for one of the best weekends of the year so far.
The bad? Um, I guess the lack of hot water in the showers was the only bad part, but just made us get in and out quicker.
The weird? We got yelled out by a cop for trying to legally cross at a crosswalk, while the walking sign was still blinking. Stupid cop!
The brag? While we were on the beach a girl close by got bit by a crab or something and hurt her ankle, making her too weak to walk. Both my H and Pi's H helped save the day by carrying her across the beach and all the way up the steep steps to the street so her family could come get her easily.
The best thing you ate? definitely the bacon wrapped shrimp that was stuffed with jalapenos, cheese stuffing, and drizzled with a brown sugar chipotle glaze.
The good? - went to an amusement park yesterday and had a blast
The bad? - getting home late last night and only having 4 hours of sleep
The weird? - what people choose to wear at amusement parks/water parks. Scary. {{shudders}}
The brag? - hmm, that we only had to wait 20 minutes for the front row of a new roller coaster. That was pretty sweet, and very rare. Someone I know went just last week and had to wait two hours
The best thing you ate? - chocolate peanut butter milkshake, oh my it was delightful

I was going to make my own, but I think I'll just copy this
Best thing I ate? Hellatiously good steak. We'll be taking Mr. & Mrs. Orange back there next time!

The good? Sox game for my birthday! The heat went away and it was 74 and breezy. Perfect day for a ball game!
The bad? The argument hubby and I got into last night about how he never helps me with the dog. He does, I was just angry because I wanted to finish a movie and needed him to keep the dog busy for 15 more minutes.
The weird? Nothing really...
The brag? I had the MOST productive Sunday ever. The entire house was deep-cleaned, laundry was done, I did a big grocery shop complete with meal plan, I made a big pot of homemade soup, and I organized my recipe box. Oh! And took a nap! Perfect!
The best thing you ate? Homemade Italian bread slathered in Earth Balance and homemade raspberry jam.
The good? Power is back on! I cranked the AC down to 65 degrees
The bad? It was ridiculously hot outside.
The weird? One of the litre-bottles of our homebrew exploded in the basement (sometime last week, not sure when) but it was on a shelf above a cooler and ice bucket and almost all of the beer was caught by them. It could have been a huge mess!
The brag? We have awesome friends. We started the weekend with no plans and we ended up having spontaneous nights out with friends both Saturday and Sunday.
The good? Pretty much everything! Quality time with my whole family, nice weather for the most part, lunch with my mom Friday, and a good pedicure.
The bad? My ankle was killing me yesterday for some reason.
The weird? My sister's boyfriend. lol He's a sweetheart, but he's a little weird.
The brag? I ran errands with my dad Sat morning, and we ran into his old friend (my bro's godfather) that we don't really see any more. We talked to him for awhile and my dad kept saying on the ride home, "You made his day!"
The best thing you ate? Lobster on Saturday, along with native corn on the cob that my dad made sure was picked that morning! lol
The good? We replaced the shades on our pendant lighting and chandelier in the kitchen/dining room.
The bad? Having to wait over two hours for food at a wedding, all of which ended up being pork. At first the rumor was that it was a dry wedding, but it just took a couple of hours for the cash bar to be set up...the cash bar is not a deal breaker to me, they're the norm around here, but the two hour wait was crazy. By that time I'd already sent M to get a bottle.
The weird? There was security at this wedding, but no one really knows why. I've never been to a wedding with two security guards at each door.
The brag? I still fit in my favorite LBD, which I had to lose 40 lbs for...3 months without serious exercise and it still fits!
The best thing you ate? Mmm the steaks that M grilled last night.

The good? Seeing so many great ladies from the board!
The bad? The heat! The sweat! The sun! Yuck!
The weird? Through a string of unfortunate events I ended up needing to change into pants purchased at a dollar store that were about three sizes too small.. I did so in their parking lot. Klassy.
The brag? I made a road trip and visit to a huge zoo with two kidlets by myself look ridiculously easy for having the coparent cancel with approximately 12 hours notice.
The best thing you ate? Cheese Bread from Big Fred's!
