Three Day Weekend Randoms

[secretlyevil]

I apologize to those who do not have a three day weekend.

Flo Rida is on the Today Show this morning. I love him.

[secretlyevil]

And the Incredibly Kimmie Schmidt is hosting Today's Take. I never get to see this.

Our anniversary is tomorrow, and we have that camp/camping wedding that I posted about a few months ago. We are definitely not staying to camp, and I'm pretty sure we'll just be putting in a brief appearance and then leaving as soon as we can without being rude. I'm hoping we can make it back to the city in time for the fireworks.

We're doing our traditional anniversary dinner tonight since we'll be busy tomorrow night.

H is home and Hunter was puking yesterday. I'm hoping he doesn't puke today, but if so, I'm selfishly happy I have work tonight. I hate puke.

I went to Aldi today. Half gallon of milk for $1.76 and a pack of bacon for $2.99? I'm sold. But they didn't have any dried pasta which I found really weird.

Today is movie day to get out of the house while the sale is going on. I'm finally going to see pitch perfect 2 at the cheap theatre.

I tried day 3 of the strength training plan, and it wasn't great. I need to sub out lunges for something that doesn't hurt my it band (day A is squats and day B is leg press). I also can't do pull-ups, even with the assist machine thing.

DH and I had an argument this morning, and I'm just in a bad mood.

Last night I ate burrata mashed potatoes. Today I'm going to Sonoma. Out of town guests are the best.

Like fresh dried pasta or just your typical Mueller's type pasta.  Maybe they were out?  Mine sells it.  It's over by the rice and stuff.

Thank the 3lb 8oz baby Jesus for a 3 day weekend. I don't know what I'm going to do, but it probably includes a lot of Damages. I slept until 10:30 this morning.

I don't have a 3 day weekend. I have to work tonight and tomorrow night. And it is going to be busy as hell. Ugh.

I will definitely be getting more than 10K steps though. Ha.

Oh yikes.  I didn't even think about how bananas it's going to be for you.  I just said something to H and he was like "oh yeah, wow....."  He is feeling your pain.

Ugh, that's no good.  Be careful out there.

I can't do lunges either.  I have subbed with romanian deadlifts or one leg romanian deadlifts.  

I need a workout partner like whoa.

That is not even an option anymore.  I know it's not something you want to hear, but if it were an option, I would take it.  I have nothing and never go to the gym.  I've gained so much weight clothes don't fit.  I am fucking miserable about it. :-(

They have pasta! Lol. The store is just set up really weird.

They had some dried bowtie pasta in pretty colors, but I couldn't find any plain old penne. They also had tortellini in the fridge section, but I didn't see any other pasta in the places I figure it would be. I'll take more time to poke around next time. NewOrleans

Yeah, they have it.  I'm not sure if they're all set up the same, but it's in the last aisle closest to the freezer.

The employees are generally pretty helpful.  Ask them next time.  

I didn't think I would like Aldi's, but I love it.

This 3 day weekend is the start of two blissful weeks of not being at work. Here's to hoping the boss doesn't call me b/c he can't remember how to do something!

Megan's in the ticket booth at her theater. Discount.

No 3-day here (England) but we are flying out to NYC tomorrow morning so I get next week off (while my H works in NYC). Can't wait!

[ChillyMcFreeze]

I'm sipping a mimosa waiting for my parents to arrive. I have no idea what I'm making for the 4th.

Woohoo!! Hope you have some fun plans.

Today we're cleaning a bit after lounging, but damn if I'm not getting hit with some bad AF cramps. Ouch.

Tomorrow my favorite uncle and his wife, who are staying with my dad and stepmom, are coming by to hang out. I'm looking forward to it, though his wife is of the Harry-Potter-is-evil persuasion, so that'll be interesting.

Then we're going to a wedding that night for an old friend to a swank place. I plan to drink coffee so I can enjoy every moment.

[ttt]

I saw Inside Out yesterday and cried. Three times. It was so good.

[emilyj]

Apparently when my hair gets long, it also gets very wavy. Who knew???

[omgzombies]

Just got back from the dentist. Two cavities, but everything else is looking good. For whatever reason I was convinced that I was going to end up needing something major and so I'm super happy that it was just pessimism on my part. Woo!

[pixy0stix]

DH and I split up to get pedi/mani and a haircut. I'll let you guess which is mine and which is his. ANYWAY, I'm done and now I can't locate him. We were going couch shopping. It REALLY sucks being here when people are going through the house. There's no respect.

[NewOrleans]

Soma is having a big sale. I got 5 undies and 2 bras for 40$. I will add to my to-do list today to clean out my underwear drawer.

I had an obnoxious evangelical colleague many years ago.  Goodness, he was just awful. He liked to sit with us at lunch.  So I started to bring Harry Potter and various New Age books with me to lunch and leave them on the table.  Then he stopped.
