Have fun UW! As usual the day will go by fast for me because I have so much stuff to do. Can't wait until the weekend. I work tomorrow but since everyone leaves town it shouldn't be too busy.
Had a shitty night last night. My (not yet 21) sister last night told me that I was "not allowed" to have more than one drink when we were supposed to go out tomorrow night at midnight for her birthday. I told her that I am an adult and know how to drink responsibly when I am going to drive and she can kiss my ass. So now I am not going. D is upset with her selfish behavior and how she is always pressing my buttons for a reaction. He is refusing to go to dinner sunday night. It was just a crappy night. D and I argued. My mom was defending my sister. I am pretty sure I am backing out of going to Vegas with the both of them in October for mom's birthday even though it was my idea in the first place.

Whoooooooooooooo Friday!!!! I'm so glad it's the weekend. I'm meeting some poulsbo moms for dinner and a movie tonight. They're internet people, so let's hope they're not too weird
Tomorrow I'm meeting some random people I found in the park for a morning run and then hiking Hurricane Ridge with BIL and his family, grilling out on Sunday and celebrating Emeline's birthday.

Your sister is out of line. I'm glad you stood up for yourself. That's not cool. Pshhh... I love Vegas, I'd probably start planning a trip to go without them.
Happy Friday! Looking forward to the three day weekend. We have two birthday parties tomorrow, then Sunday we are going to an exotic car show, and Monday we are going to the Pompeii exhibit. I also plan on doing a bunch of nesting and cleaning this weekend.
Besides that I don't think there is anything else new with me.

That sounds like a shitty night @aellasbeth. Is there any way you guys could get a ride to/from going out to make it better for both of you?
I'm SO happy it's Friday! And a short day and traffic was a breeze this morning (though I know it won't be that way on the way home). I'm just in a good mood!

I have decided I am not going and D declined to watch my nephew because he is upset with her as well.
The thing is, i was probably only going to have one..because i know what i can and cant have. But to be TOLD I am only ALLOWED to have one drink by someone who is drinking for the first time, does not fly with me.
To me its about the delivery too. If she was concerned about me driving intoxicated, she could have asked or brought concerns to the table instead of going "this is my day and you are going to do what i tell you"
We don't have a whole lot planned for the weekend at this point and I'm totally ok with that. I have a 9 mile run to do and we are hanging out with my family on Sunday for make up Mother's Day. Not sure what else.
Happy Friday! It's been a long week. Just can't get into the grove of things. So, how busy do you think the library will be today, the day before the Memorial Day weekend? There are still classes, but I am envisioning a very quiet day.
I'm trying to put together plans for the weekend, but I don't know what we should do. We need to paint a room at home, but we'll see if that actually gets done.

<----- says GOOD MORNIN'!
Guys, I'm starting to freak out. I sent 22 invitations for Tman's party and I've only received four responses - one is a no. What the heck? I know a lot of people don't RSVP, but 18 out of 22? At this rate, I don't know if we are going to have enough for his party and I'll have to pull some random kid out of the transit center or something to play.
Tman is out of school today. He has a bunch of projects to finish up for school, though, so his weekend is going to suck. It would take probably 2 hours total, but he will make it take forever. He'd rather space out half the day than get it done. I will never understand that.
I hope everyone plans something fun for the holiday weekend. Since I'm now a real employee, I get paid for Monday. Booyah.
Oh, and James is going to be on sucky schedule again next week. Dang it!
Meeting H at the airport then it's off to Istanbul for the weekend! Eeee! Super excited!
I hope everyone has an awesome 3 day weekend!
Not Constantinople? We had so much fun with that song when Tman was learning about Asia Minor. I think on his test when it asked what the capitol of Turkey is, he wrote "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" on his test.
Have an awesome time UW.
5/23 - Ugh, James just reminded me that Istanbul is not the capitol of Turkey - Ankara is. I'm lame.

@aellasbeth - This is the same sister who had similar "me-me-me" temper tantrums when it came to some of your wedding activities, right? I hope she grows up soon. It sounds like she acts like a spoiled teenager. I would have had the exact same reaction if I were you.
spa - pretty house! I love that style, and all the space
I am feeling so much better today, probably the best I've felt in over six days. I think the worst of my allergies this season is behind me :::knocks on wood::: Since I was feeling so crummy earlier this week, I didn't want to make any big plans for the 3-day weekend. But I'm sure I'll do something fun

georgeharrison I feel like not rsvp'ing is the norm in this time and it is very frustrating. I had a handful of people rsvp for J's first bday and then only one of them showed up, But then no one rsvp'ed for M's bday and tons showed up. Such a frustrating time to me that such etiquette norms that we grew up with and were pounded into us as kids are far from standard teachings now a days.
I was hoping to take the girls to the park today but M has been horrible at bed time the last 2 nights are ruined it for all of us Instead she is spending the day helping me clean and fold laundry. I also have to figure out our weekend plans. We aren't going away but we have a list of things to do including working on H's list of little things that he keeps putting off and then also some big yard work things. We will see how much actually gets done.

I have a friend who just told me that she use to totally ignore the RSVP for parties...until she met me and realized that people use those to plan. WHAT?! Of course people use those to plan, that's the point, right? And Tman has a minimum that he needs to reach for his party, so YES, I have to know if we are going to have enough. This is lame. And what about food/cake? I'm not going to order 10 pizzas if only three kids are going to be there. And do I need a quarter sheet cake or a half sheet or will one of those round ones be enough? I don't get it, really.
Whoooooooooooooo Friday!!!! I'm so glad it's the weekend. I'm meeting some poulsbo moms for dinner and a movie tonight. They're internet people, so let's hope they're not too weird
Tomorrow I'm meeting some random people I found in the park for a morning run and then hiking Hurricane Ridge with BIL and his family, grilling out on Sunday and celebrating Emeline's birthday.
All week I've been off a day. I was at our Portland office on Monday and normally I'm there on Tuesdays. Well every day this week I thought I was ahead. Even this morning I woke up thinking it was Saturday and that I didn't get things done at work on Friday! YIKES!
Busy weekend. Meeting some people for a run and breakfast tomorrow. I have got to do some serious laundry. Tuesday morning I leave for Iowa for work. I don't get back until 10:30 Friday night. Just looked at the forecast and they are calling for thunderstorms all week. Yay humidity! haha
Just had a candidate cancel on me for an interview so I'm going to head to get my nails done.

I love this haha
I must be doing something right, husband went out to have beers with some other guys I met at the park - they have a thursday evening beer club and invited him to come along. He had a great time and got a few phone numbers

I just don't get this mentality. How the hell are you supposed to plan for anything?!?! I'm one of those people who will hunt you down for an answer, but it's annoying that I have to do it.

A great number of them are for kids from Tman's school. I don't have any contact information for them, so I can't hunt them down. James said to have Tman ask at school, but I don't want it to look like he is begging kids to come to his party.
I am finishing up some stuff for clinicals and then it is finally the long weekend! I have a bunch of studying to do but we might get to go to a friends lake house for one night, so that would be lovely.
UncleGrandpa - people really don't RSVP anymore, it is weird how that has shifted over the years. I hope it all works out! UW - Have so much fun, I am so jealous of your travels! Spa - could luck house hunting!
