I lost my voice this weekend! I ended up at urgent care bc my throat had been sore since Monday, and then the voice went. Blarg. It is just a virus, but I am home today even thought I feel AOK.

Everyone survived, so we'll call that a win.
Thursday, my H picked up my MIL, we had dinner, then took her to the hotel.
Friday, she met me at work, went home, and then went out to dinner.
Saturday, we picked her up, and drove through VA wine country, stopping at two of our favorite wineries. We drove past a house that she is apparently looking at buying. Dinner, and then brought her back to the hotel. Then my H and I enjoyed a glass of wine after J went to bed. It was the best glass of wine ever, lol.
Yesterday, we got a ton of errands and stuff done around the house. It was a really productive, awesome day. I however, do not feel like I had much of a weekend or any down time, really.

Girls- I had the most heart-warming weekend ever.
Friday night Jay and I went to NH. We listened to music by the fire place and had a relaxing, wonderful night.
Saturday morning I woke up to a car beeping outside. I was confused since my older sister wasn't supposed to be there for another couple of hours. Well, I see my younger sister's face smiling and I jumped up and down and was so insanely excited. She told me she couldn't make it so she could surprise me.
You all know the shit that's been going down the past couple of years with my family. It hasn't been easy and our relationships were definitely affected. It was so amazing to have both of my sisters with me. I can't even type out what I'm feeling. So let's just say, "Elated."
We were supposed to go look at Xmas lights, but the weather was pretty nasty and not worth risking it. So we went to dinner, then back to the house. I got ZERO sleep Saturday night. I laid in bed for 3 hours but sleep wouldn't not come.
Sunday Jay and I left, shopped, showered and then I took a 3 hour nap with my heated mattress pad on, like 10. It was great until I woke up to boob sweat though HAHAHA

**hugs to milsaroo**
Honeydew, I hope you feel better really soon. Sorry you are sick.
I was off work on Friday, my mom came by and dropped off her dogs for the night while they went out of town. Ran out and did some Christmas shopping, then went to meet some other family for dinner at a Cajun restaurant for my cousin's birthday.
Saturday I mostly just watched the football games, played with all the dogs (there were 5 total, our 2 and my mom's 3!) and cooked dinner. Mom came over for her dogs and then after dinner the H and I split a bottle of wine.
Yesterday I went with H to finish up shopping for his side of the family, we cooked dinner afterwards and just relaxed. I had a hard time going to bed last night, so I feel ya on the lack of sleep, Jenny! I think I got about 4 solid hours of sleep, but it took me forever to fall asleep and then I ended up waking up randomly a couple of times in the night. I'm chugging the coffee today and really hoping tonight is better.

Saturday morning we visited my grandma in the hospital, helped a friend around her house since she's basically not able to use one arm, then DH dropped me off at my sister's to house/pet sit while he helped some friends move.
It was nice watching cable again - I watched 90 Day Fiance and Love it or List it for about 2 hours
Sunday we woke up at my sister's and I had a breakdown over nothing important, but I'm just having hormonal issues and it's driving me crazy because it's the second time I've straight up SOBBED recently and basically I don't remember crying like this since my grandpa's funeral 2 years ago.
Then DH and I took the dog for a walk, left my sister's and headed to the dog birthday party which some of you saw photos of.

Friday night we were going out to dinner but forgot our Groupon so we went to a 'fancy' place we'd heard about instead. It was.. interesting.. some of the food was good. But holy crap it was not worth the $40/person.
We came home after dinner and didn't leave again until Sunday night to get the kids. It was kind of glorious. I started watching Gilmore Girls.

Friday evening, we went on a holiday stroll and had yummy treats, beer, wine etc. We shopped a bit, but mainly for ourselves (funny how that happens). When we stopped for dinner, we were sitting by the front window of a pub, and we were toasting through the window with passersby (some with cups of wine or cider from the shops, some with flasks of their own). It was great fun.
Saturday, we went up to WI. We picked my bro and his H up in downtown Milwaukee where they were staying. There, we saw around 50 people dressed as Santa, elves, Christmas trees, and in other festive attire, biking through downtown. It's an annual fundraiser called the "Santa Rampage," and it was quite a sight! Then we headed up to my parents' house to visit them. We ate, drank, and laughed ourselves silly playing Heads Up with "It's a Wonderful Life," alternating with "Footloose" on in the background.
Sunday, I did a bit of cleaning but mainly just relaxed. All in all, it was a great weekend.

Friday, I cleaned up the house a bit.
Saturday, went shopping with my sister. It wasn't a blast, but it was good to spend time with her. That night H and I went to a work event and I got to see one of my favorite donors who told me I looked very nice and "sophisticated". He's so sweet. Then after all the donors left the event we hung around for a few more glasses of wine. Amazing.
Sunday, I was lazy for too long in the morning/early afternoon and ended up with an upset stomach to which I found no relief until all my food came up after dinner. Then I had laundry to do.
I feel like I'm really just starting my work-day this afternoon, because this morning was spent traveling to and from a big announcement for my university.
I had Friday off so I slept in till 1pm then hung out on the couch until 5. Then we went to G's industry holiday party, ate and drank a ton, then went to a bar nearby with some of his coworkers.
Saturday we met friends at a park downtown for a homebrew competition, but it was rainy and cold so we ditched and got tacos instead, lol. Then met up with other friends at a pool hall, then went out to dinner and back to their house to watch football.
Sunday we finished wiring the TV/stereo system in our basement and hung all the artwork, so the renovation is 100% done. Yay!
Saturday we did laundry, I got some groceries to do some baking and then I laid out all the presents I have purchased to see who/what I still need to buy.
Sunday we slept in and met my parents at an open house. This house is in an exclusive neighbourhood and it was listed for only $319k, which is crazy so we have to check it out. It had an underground tunnel from the main house to the pool! When it was new, it would have been so nice! The reason it was so cheap though, is because it used to be grow op. The realtor said it was priced for the estimated value of the land, and everyone looking at it were all sayin the same - it's a tear down!
The rest of the day we laid around watching football. All in all a really lazy weekend.
My weekend, the weekend before, and Thanksgiving were all amazing. I feel so fucking lucky to have the family and friends that I do, truly.
BFF, her FI and I went to the coffee growing region in Colombia this past weekend, and the scenery was so beautiful. We did a 4 hr hike up a mountain, and I didn't die!! (but my left heel is missing a good amount of skin now from my new hiking boots, OUCH). I'll post some pics when I have a chance.
