It's the freakin weekend Randoms

[eddy]

Good morning!

I of course have been up since 5:30. Whatever I am sadly used to it.

It is going to be rainy and cold today so we need to figure out how to get the crazies out of the boys. I am taking Jack to the high school production of Mary Poppins. I think he will love it.

I am happy that soccer is cancelled. 

Today will be a good day to get some house projects done.

This is really dorky, but last night I was thinking about the little speech I am going to give at my graduation party of family (I told you this was dorky) and what I will say about the support I have gotten from my husband. He has been amazing this past 4 years. Much more kind and strong than I ever would have been to him if the roles were reversed.

I am surprising him with a trip to Chicago this summer as a thanks. Baseball, good restaurants etc. Either a couples trip or we can bring Jack. Whatever he chooses. Leo is not invited. :-)

Good morning!

I've been up since 5:45! Wtf body.

I'm sure Mary Poppins will be a great time.

Huge huge congrats on the graduation! I think the speech will be perfect and I'm glad you are having a party. I regret not celebrating my masters at all.

I'm going to a Jillian Michaels Body Shred demo in a little bit and I'm scared. Normally I wouldn't be able to go because DH mows at a golf course, but thanks to the overnight freeze he didn't have to work and can do dance class with Ella. I promised her we'd go to the library afterwards. It is sunny and ideally we'd walk, but I think Body Shred might eliminate that possibility.

Tomorrow we are going for a day out with Thomas the Tank!

There was a massive earthquake in Nepal and the death toll is around 600 and rising.

I'm so sad reading about this. I visited the same region a few years back and fell in love with it.

A friend of DH'S is coming over in a few minutes to help him measure/ pick out windows to install. The big project is the kitchen windows. So of course, our vengeful pisser cat peed in there. What. An. Asshole. I don think she's sick. I'm so annoyed. Luckily, friend's wife is an officer at the SPCA, so if anyone understands, it's him. But still.

[iamgrace]

Today I plan on day drinking and gardening.

[lilafowler]

Ellie and I are going to a baby shower for my 2nd cousin. She's a few years older than me and has 3 boys ranging in ages 12-16 and this was a big surprise. I'm kind of in awe of her for doing this lol. We're carpooling with my mom so I don't have to drive which is nice (because I can have a drink obviously).

[vicky]

J leaves monday for San Diego. I'm going to stay at my parents for 3 weeks until I leave, too. I'm a bit sad today.

[Jalapeñomel]

I'm on my way to class until 2:30.


There's an annoying kid (I say kid, because he is 22) on the fellowship's FB page who has an opinion on everything, and his opinion is vastly superior to everyone else's opinion. I think I have to leave the page before I lose my shit on him.

[W.T.Faulkner]

Driving over an hour today to go try on ugly bridesmaid dresses for BF's sister's wedding. I am thrilled. lol

I had such a monumentally shitty day yesterday that I feel almost hung over today even if I didn't drink.

[nsl]

I've been looking forward to this weekend so much, and now that it's here I have a cold. Not that this will stop me from doing things, but it's annoying,

Today I'm using the second half of a spa GC H gave me for my birthday to get a haircut, facial, and brow wax. While I'm out, H and the boys are going to take care of the grocery shopping, then I'm getting us Indian takeout for dinner.

Tomorrow we have a babysitter so H and I can go to a bacon festival downtown in the middle of the day as a belated birthday treat for him. The boys decided they didn't want to go, so I don't even feel guilty about turning it into an adults-only activity. We might also buy cheap seats at the baseball game that will be happening a block from the festival and watch a couple of innings since our local team is playing my hometown team.

[cuddlyevil]

I should be doing laundry but I am drinking coffee instead.

[kittyb]

I went to a shower last night (I co-hosted with the bridal party) and one of the other girls kept commenting on how much another bridesmaid and I were eating. On one hand, it was dinner time (7pm) and I helped pay for it so I'll eat if I want to, but I also feel really badly, like I did eat too much. I've had issues with eating in the past and now I just feel like shit.

No. This Is On that snatch. Wtf does she think she is commenting like that?

[Monica Geller]

My parents are planning on stopping by today for a little while. I have a ton of laundry and cleaning to do. H is at work all day. Nothing super exciting here. I wish the weather was going to be nice, I'd take J to a park for a nice long walk.

[noodleskooze]

We've been having a lot of thunderstorms, so I've been trying to teach Leo to take a deep breath when he is scared. This morning DH asked him what Mommy told him to do when he was scared, and Leo responded, "Eat!" lol

[ginger]

We're going to have storms and possible tornadoes today.

Hold me!

It was so annoying. She was going out to eat after so she didn't eat anything. The other bridesmaid knew her better so finally she told her to shut up. The comments resumed during dessert and finally I went to another table. So annoying.

Congratulations on your graduation!!! That's awesome!

H and I had a fun date night last night and went to a theater dinner party thing. Saw Tally's Folly, and it was SO good. Excellent production - I love that there's such strong company in a tiny little Michigan town. Tried out a new babysitter too - got her name from our favorite sitter who is graduating and leaving for college in the fall. She's GREAT, and even better, she's a freshman who lives in the neighborhood, so we have potentially 3+ more years of her being available!

IL's are on their way up right now for N and E's recital tomorrow. *cleansing breaths* My parents arrive tomorrow morning. The two sets of parents get together exactly once a year, for this event only, as ILs aren't comfortable being around my parents.

*more cleansing breaths, checks watch to see if it's too early for wine/booze*

[themysteriouswife]

H's stepmom is crazy. H posted a picture of his dad, mom, sister, and him on FB. The picture is from the early 90's. H was 5-6. SMIL and FIL got married in 2013. She asked H to take the picture off FB. WTF? I really do not understand this woman.

ETA: oh my God! It's worse. The fucking picture has been up since 2011!

[venice2007]

I'm still longing with coffee. H is gone all weekend so I'm hoping to deep clean the entire house. Then, if there is time I'd like to peruse William-Sonoma and BBW...maybe check out BBB for a roomba.
Not much else today besides hockey

[eddy]

Yay we are having an impromptu rainy day party with friends. This day will not be a waste!

My brother keeps texting about the neighborhood yard sale. The kid is wandering the streets fascinated by the things people try to sell.

Lol my h and I say that to each other almost every Friday night when we discuss our Saturday lol

[RoxMonster]

Crappy day here today. Cold and rain ALL damn day. H is working, so I think I'm going to catch up on all the shows on my DVR that he doesn't watch. Tonight we have tickets to see Jesus Christ Superstar.

[Serenity9]

Happy Saturday! I'm headed to the hospital for a chest x-ray! Ugh. I'm very likely fine. But when I told the doctor yesterday that I had been coughing for a month, he ordered a chest x-ray just to be sure it's not something serious.

I don't know if anyone has posted about the earthquake in Nepal, but it's awful. Seeing all the pictures and hearing the stories... awful.

That woman is a snatch.

Bf dropped me at the salon for pampering while he runs errands. I am glad I am not being dragged to the motorcycle salvage yard.

seriously? she thinks your dh can't post a picture of his family? 
what a nut job. 

We gave FIL a book of wedding photos for Christmas. She took out all the ones with MIL. At my baby shower she left when MIL showed up. She's unhinged.

[wildfloweragain]

We have people coming over to spend the day with us. BFF and her husband. They are welcome at any time but I sort of expected a text before the headed over.

At 6:30 AM DS came into our room and told us they were here. I thought, wow, BFF is not usally an early riser, but here we go, I'll make coffee.

It was just the newspaper being delivered. In fact she's not here yet at 10:00.
