Hello, Saturday!

[SwimDeep]

I got all my errands done in the morning, and since then I've been binge-watching season 2 of Doctor Who.
I'm nearly to the end, and I have to say...I'm not ready for Rose to die :-(

In a little bit I'm going to get up and do dishes, make cookies, fix dinner, and maybe get a bit more work done on a major work project.

Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday!

I'm at a rest stopstop off the NJ turnpike and reminded that I hate people. They're doing construction and it's adding 40 min to our drive.

We did work in the yard, now we're watching the Muppets.

I've been oddly productive today....mowed the lawn, ran errands, took the dog to get washed. Church later and then a movie in the park with friends.

We're finally at the hotel. My mom wants to try to make the 5:25 shuttle to the (6:30) wedding and I just looked at her like she's insane. I'm already worn out from the trip here. Sometimes my parents' banter feels like bickering and I get a bit overstimulated and need to shut everything off for a while. Luckily my grandma and I can quietly get ready together.

Recovering from surgery, lots of pain and lots of drugs

[tiramisu]

I hope the pain subsides soon mags. Gentle hugs.

Sideways is on tv. The kids are playing and I am watching tv.

My ILs were here and gone. They brought food, so yay.

My SIL, her significant other, and our niece are here for a few days. So far it's been okay, except for a little bickering between the little ones.

I hope you feel better soon!  Thank you for listening to me boohoo last night!

i did some serious retail therapy today.  The biggest purchase was a new Tory Burch tote to carry my laptop.  The rest is a beach cover up and then some clothes.  There's a seriously hot little black dress in one of the bags that I wanted to wear tonight but then I started my period so I'm feeling all bloated.  LBD will have to wait for her debut.

oh and mags, A made reservations at a nice place that I love.  I will let him order a nice bottle of wine too.

Well the good news is, having a blast at beer fest. The bad news is my volunteer replacement is a no show. So I get to keep working. But I get a gift card for a local brewery instead.

Pip the tote kaneen!

I bought this bag yesterday and I am excited about it. Except mine is navy blue.

my grandfather passed away today, family drama has ensued. Being part of a large family sucks, so many loud people trying to take control and talk over each other Also did I mention the drama? like ugh the drama man. Anyway, I am kind of relieved my grandfather has passed away, the last 2 years have been awful for him, he was terribly sick this last week and had a DNR which was difficult to watch him basically die.

Im so sorry for your loss pink (hug2)

[doglove]

I'm sorry PPD. Hope you get to feeling better mags.

[starrieskies]

I'm so sorry for your loss, pinkplasticdoll!

Sorry for you loss PPD and that you have to deal with drama on top of it.

[kaneen]

I can't figure out how to pip from my iPad captainmel but it's the Tory Burch Britton tote in bark.

[SwimDeep]

(((pinkplasticdoll))) - I also have a large family, so I know what you mean about the drama. So many different agendas and egos colliding all at once I'm sorry for your loss

(((mags))) - I really hope the surgery helps you in the long run!

Thanks guys. Word of advice NEVER MARRY A LARGE MEXICAN FAMILY, ask my H why this is a terrible idea. somehow he got roped into making a slideshow, writing the obituary and making the programs. All that happened while I was out helping pick out flowers for the casket. 

Oh holy shit. I'm sorry. The family dynamics can be ridiculous.
