Weekend highs/lows

[irene adler]

What was the best part of your weekend? Worst?

Any additional random thoughts?

[irene adler]

I had a lot of fun Saturday morning hanging out and day drinking. I can't remember the last time I got to go out worry free like that, and it was awesome.

Saturday late afternoon was rough, and I was reminded why I don't go out very often. I am almost ready to admit that I just plain can't handle tequila. Almost.

Random (because I need a safe place to be a judgey asshole) I have a fb friend who posts inspirational quotes she writes over selfies. Example: " I love that I use my blue eyes not just to look, but to see --her name" imposed over a duck faced selfie.

It is so bizarre. But she also posts great spin playlists, so I still follow her.

I find this hilarious. LOL  My low was having to cancel brunch to do school work. I'm still not done... yet here I am...  .

High: DH and I are inspired to move to a new up-and-coming neighborhood near my office ONCE we sell our current house, which is currently under market.

Low: We had an open house this weekend and no one showed up.   This is after our agent said there were a lot of phone calls/interests.

High: planting flowers and getting to spend time outside

Low: getting woken up at 4am by my son talking with his friend that slept over

[niq]

High: it was all pretty good. I'll take post-race donut eating with babyniq. (See PIP in the H&F "who's up?" thread)
Low: mom bought a bunch of stuff rummage sale shopping arrrrrrgh.

We had two painters come to give us bids on our house. One kept trying to talk me in to painting my house white because it's Spanish. Kind of rolling his eyes.

The second was a bit casual and vague.

I am about to spend a shitload of money and WTF?

[gogreengowhite]

High: I got to meet some awesome Detroit GBCNers on Saturday. The food was delicious, the conversation was good and I didn't get skinsuited.

Low: I was in and out of bed all day yesterday with a migraine. I leave tomorrow for my trip to San Francisco, I needed yesterday to prepare. Looks like I'll be up late tonight.

I have three highs:
1. My cousin's engagement party was really fun, and I had my first drink in 10 months!
2. I went out shopping for a few hours and got some cute dresses for upcoming showers and other occasions.
3. Watching a slew of Shark Tank episodes with a baby snuggled on my chest. It was so peaceful!

Low:
Getting about 42 minutes of sleep on Friday night

High- Spending most of the weekend just hanging out with Mr. P. We finally got in the pool Saturday and it was quite nice.

Low- We had a terrible storm Friday night-torrential rain, hail, high winds and lost one of our nice, healthy live oak trees in the front yard. It sucks to grow new trees here, but we did need the rain, so.....

High - my friend brought over his new puppy to meet my dogs and socialize the puppy. The puppy was so cute! He is a poodle and his name is Godfrey, which is adorable. My dogs were pretty good with him too.

Low - BF spent most of the weekend doing work (2 weeks left of the semester!) so I feel like we barely hung out, even though we were both home most of the weekend. I can't WAIT for this semester to be over.

High: Getting to see so many friends this weekend. DS had a lot of fun with his friends too
Low: Hurting my wrist from overdoing it rearranging the office

We had a fabulous time at the wine tasting on friday at the wine tasting.  Saturday H went to a beer festival and I went out with a friend to get mani / pedi and do some shopping and then we all met back up and had a great, fun, 3 hour dinner.

My only low is that I'm cheap frugal and can't bring myself to pull the trigger on either a hat for my derby party or curtains for the newly painted dining room.

Both of which I need by Saturday.

High: My folks made it! (yes, I know I've been going on about this for ages, but I like my family, and I haven't seen them in over a year...)

Low: I hate cleaning, but we still haven't found a housecleaning, and the place needed a _lot_ of cleaning before my folks arrived, so that's what we spent all of Saturday doing.

[sicilygirl]

High: I didn't have to work this weekend for the first time since January! Well I guess I didn't work last weekend either actually, but we were out of town so I didn't quite get that feeling of "AHHHH, nothing to do for 2 whole days!"

Low: I accomplished exactly nothing around the house. And I'm stressing majorly over what to do about my job situation.

[M]

High: it was just a peaceful, stress free weekend of doing nothing important. Something we won't get for the next 2 weekends since we are finally moving into our own place. But we'll finally be getting the dogs up here! It makes me so sad every time Hilo cries when we leave him.

Low: nothing really unless you count $300 for routine car maintenance. Well I guess finding out that there might be more maintenance to pay for...but they said that the car was in the best condition that they've seen for that year model so yay?

[monsterz]

High: Watching Jr score his first TD in flag football and throw the teams first TD pass of the season.

Took our niece out for sushi.

Low: The rain ruined our plans to go to Pikes Peak.

[Susie]

Low:  Calvin told me I didn't need to go buy maternity clothes because I'm not carrying baby weight, it's just "not going for long runs & rides" weight.  I am 10 weeks pg.

No wait, lower:  We told MIL and FIL about the baby last night with a bday card for MIL with an ultrasound pic in it.  Calvin pulled it out of a bouquet of flowers we brought and she opened it, looked right past Calvin and I and gushes to BIL, "REALLY?  CONGRATULATIONS!"  (They have two kids and are not expecting.  This is our first.)  

No wait, lower still:  Doggie D woke us up early this morning with a nasty ripping sound.  He got the s-hook on his collar (holding his tags) stuck through a loop of our berber carpet and pulled up like an 18" stretch before we could wake up and stop him.  I feel bad for him that it was probably freaky, but dammit, that carpet is like 10 months old.

High:  Eventually I got to the office and could close the book on this fucking weekend. 

[rubytue]

High - seeing Willy Porter perform. Man I love that man.

Low - watching the protests in Baltimore turn violent, stupidly reading all the racist comments about it on FB, and struggling through my own feelings about the situation (which I recognize come from a place of white privilege).

And realizing my pup is old enough for arthritis.

Best: we took our time getting to and from vacation and enjoyed some family time. We visited with DD's birth family and had a really nice, relaxing day of it.

Worst: Everything about the ILs. Their house is a hoarder's dream and full of dust, and I was coming off of a zpac and steroids for allergies as it was. I had to clean out the tub to bathe DD. In one breath MIL talks about how dirty her house is because she can't get around well, but in the next breath offers to eat the cookies DD just dropped on her dirty floor. And they bought the MOST random collection of food for us ever. They eat out 24/7 so there's never any food. They went out and bought things like 2 cans of pineapple, a mini pack of Fig Newtons, and cream filled chocolate cupcakes, which DD of course wanted to eat for breakfast.
