Mine was great! Last weekend was Artscape (the largest free arts/music festival in the US) and it takes place on our campus. Like, I could almost touch one of the stages from my office window. So, my boss cut me loose at noon and some coworkers and I wandered around drinking giant margaritas for a while, then I met up with some friends from NYC. We went to the world's sketchiest liquor store and got 4Lokos and had a wonderful time. Met up with G and we went to our friends' house for pizza and video games and had a great night.
Saturday G got fitted for some new suits while I finished homework, then we went to our friends' going-away picnic in a park. Spent the rest of the night lounging around.
Sunday we went out to brunch then went back to the festival. Saw Cris Jacobs and Trombone Shorty perform, then met up with friends. We all ended up back at our place and G made the most amazing tacos at 1am.
We had BIL's wedding (we aren't speaking to him, SIL, or MIL, so FUN!) It was OOT about 6 hours.
The good: We did get to go hiking there Friday and to a really nice beach. We also got rip roaring drunk with a good friend at the wedding Saturday and had a BLAST on the dance floor.
The bad: A little run-in with MIL, but she was the one making a fool of herself in front of other people. Long drives.
We were so busy, but had an amazing weekend. I worked most of Friday, then had a hair appointment for some highlights. We had our bff's over for dinner and that was fun. Their baby loves me and now she runs over to give me a hug. My icy heart melts just a little bit.
I was up at 7am Saturday to teach my classes then we ran some errands. We ended up buying a new sectional sofa and some paint for the living room. We are doing a major redecorating project in there. That night we went to a gala for a local not for profit. It was super fun, but the band was kind of meh. We went out downtown after that and had a blast.
Sunday we slept in until...wait for it...11:15am!!!!!!!!!!!!! We ran some more errands and then just lounged around all day.

After an alumni event Thursday night, my sister handed me the reins to our 9 year old niece. My VP invited us, our work BFFs, and my boss over to his house. Fortunately, my niece and his daughter of the same age got along. (I was so afraid my niece would put her off.)
Friday, I took my niece to the water park and met my sister and her kids. The baby spit his lunch all over my boobs and swimsuit. H and I took the niece to see Inside Out. It's a pretty cute movie.
Saturday, I let her watch TV, we had lunch, and since my sister wasn't planning on picking her up until 4, I had to find something to occupy her. After she left, we just sat there in silence for a little while before having dinner.
Sunday was MIL's birthday, so we took her and her mother to have hibachi and ice cream. When we got back we took a nap then went about our usual Sunday. When taking off the sheets of the bed that the niece slept in, I discovered that she had picked paint off of my wall... then I stayed up too late doing laundry and I'm draggin' ass today.
Moral of the story...don't have kids. They'll wear your ass out and destroy everything you own.

Such a fun time. This was the first camping trip with the pop-up and I love it. It is SO much easier opening a door and not unzipping the tent and zipping it up right after you. jay and I are always in and out of the tent and he doesn't think to zip it up after him if he's just grabbing something. Ummm, no, that's how spiders get in.
Saturday the 5 of us rented a pontoon boat for the day, then back to the campsite for more mayhem.
Sunday we slowly packed up, hung around a bit and took off. At home Jay made a delicious beer can chicken. We sat on the deck drinking a few beers because apparently going to bed at 3am the 2 nights before after drinking far more than one should, wasn't enough.

The weekend was busy!
Friday, I had DS for the day alone, and we ran errands. At night, we had my sister's going away party (moving to NC for work). It was fun and sad.
Saturday, we went to VT to meet up with DS's birthmom, 1/2 brother, her bf and her friend. It went as well as it could go. She didn't really say much so it was good that her bf and friend were there. After that, we just crashed at home.
Sunday, we hit the gym while DH golfed. DH and I took a great nap, and then we had friends over for dinner. Sadly, we lost power around 7 pm and it wasn't restored until 4 am!
It was good! Friday I went to city hall so bff and her H could get married in the US. We went out for drinks and apps afterward, and then I met another friend her her cw for drinks and dinner. Got home at a reasonable hour but was up until 4:30am texting/talking/facetiming the 26 y.o. hahaha
Saturday I ran some errands, and then went to my friend's wedding reception. It was fun, I got drunk, and didn't get home til 3am. I left my shoes (had changed into flip flops) at the bar we went to afterward. lol
Sunday my BFF, her H and his cousin were supposed to come over for dinner, so even though I thought I was a tiny bit hungover, I managed to make ravioli and pappardelle, pork ragu and a pie. But her H wasn't feeling well and I told her I'd probably crash early, so we postponed to today and they had to cancel due to worsening sickness. I'm kinda glad because it is too fucking hot to cook and now I can eat anything that's not freezable for the rest of the week.
