UnderProtest - how'd the BBQ go? (or, has it started yet?)
Our Saturday will involve us heading out for a daytrip to visit with some friends. I'll spend the day spinning (wool, not bike), and knitting, and DH will do his thing. Should be fun!
We're coming back from our anniversary trip to Philly. We're still SO full from Zahav (although that didn't stop us from getting Federal Donuts for the ride home lol).
Some of our BFFs are in town and are coming by to meet DD today. Other than that we will just spend most of the day in the backyard. It's so good to see the sun!!
I slept in until 7:30 this morning and didn't get out of bed until after 8. It was glorious! Although, I'm still at my sister's (they're driving home today) so I'm really looking forward to my own bed/sleeping with DH tonight.
I don't have cable but my sister does so I'm watching Extreme Cheapskates on TLC. It has been on for 5 minutes and I already think this couple is nuts. They have a tally sheet for who flushes the toilet "because if you use more water, you should pay more." And they also have a log of who uses electricity, especially between the hours of 10pm-6am when they're supposed to be sleeping.
ETA: they're planning their funeral. They plan to share a coffin (bury the first, then dig it up and throw another body in there when the second person dies)
Extreme cheapskates is always insane and most of their choices don't make sense (ie if cutting funeral costs is such a priority, why not creamate?). I
I'm about to leave for the vet. I'm hoping to get an oil change and hit up the thrift store this afternoon. But we shall see. H is working today, although if he wasn't working he'd be fishing. So it doesn't affect the fact he left without doing the dishes.
Can you even share a coffin like that? Isn't it against some code or law or something. What funeral home would let their employee go through the grossness of it?

Ewww. That is fucking weird and the digging up the first dead and opening the coffin? Creepy. I had this show on for 5 minutes this morning and I just can't. There is frugal and then there is this bunch of freaks. Nope.
I'm standing on line at the beer store for KBS. Release is in 45 minutes. We did the same thing last night at another beer store. Then went downtown to the hockey game. When that was over we headed to a new place (for us) for a drink. It was a dance club and we stayed out dancing until 12:30. Got to bed around 1:30. I'll be exhausted later but I had such a fabulous time. Haven't been out dancing in forever.
Pom, it was just to over the top for me. I had to keep watching the episode but when it was over and a new one was about to start I turned it off. It just sounds exhausting to live like that.
Also, the guy that slept on packing peanuts had no other furniture in his home. At all. Wouldn't the cheaper thing be to just rent a room instead of an entire apartment? (Or maybe he owned a house, I didn't see the exterior).
I totally agree....the whole "lifestyle" just seems exhausting. Maybe spend that time trying to earn more money rather than wearing yourself out doing disgusting shit to save what often amounts to pennies. They also seem to be imposing on other people that find it sort of nuts. I'd have to back away from those people immediately. I didn't watch more than a few minutes today, but I've seen some episodes in the past. There is nothing appealing about saving money with their extreme aka borderline crazy, often unsanitary methods. Blech.
It's raining and that is really good news here. I made breakfast, did some laundry and house chores while Mr. P worked out in the yard earlier. Now I am relaxing on the couch since I am zoned out on pain killers...I went to the ENT doctor yesterday because I've had terrible ear/neck pain and couldn't sleep since Wednesday. I have an enlarged lymph node behind my ear and it's kind of miserable. He gave me a high powered antibiotic so I hope it clears up soon. Between drugs and the rain, I just want a nap, LOL.
We are having a date night later and headed out for sushi at our favorite place.
I'm thinking about going to see The Longest Ride. It's a Nicholas Sparks, which is blegh to me, but it has bullriders and my favorite band in it. I might give it a shot.
I so hate oil changes. Bah! I'm trying a new place bc I hate jiffy lube and I have a coupon. But it's weird bc they leave me sitting in the car. WTF?! I need to pee and was going to in the waiting room bathroom!
It is the first day of rooftop drinking season for me <)
Pics!
I went for a run but wasn't feeling too hot. Went to Target and wondered around, Dunkin Donuts and then HomeGoods. DH is doing putting a few hrs in at work and I'm just piddling around the house until he gets back and we'll go to lunch.

I appear to have some sort of illness setting up in my body. I'm guessing a cold, possibly allergies. Meh. I feel like I need to boil my insides. I might need to go get some chicken soup.
In doing laundry today I realized that almost all of my pants need to be replaced right away, as in, they have holes. I had to shop online (so who knows if it will fit), some stuff ran out before I could submit my order (grrr...), and they won't be here until Wednesday.
Thd movers are packing up our house in two weeks. Eek. They could have come next week, but we need time to do some things.
I adore birthday cake ice cream. With this have that same magic?
There's a big festival in our town today. I love it – it's so wonderful and springy outside, and it's like a big community homecoming.
However, I was stupid enough to forget about it and schedule an appointment with a client at 4 PM today. This is keeping me out of the beer tent, and I am sad

So my MIL is here. I think she is trying to hint that she wants us to give her money. She is getting divorced. Her ex stepdad gave her $500 for last month's car payment. Her mom is giving her $500 for this month's car payment. She doesn't know what she is going to do for the next 8 payments (then it is paid off). Oh and she needs a new iPhone 6+ because her iPhone 4s is too old and too hard to see. I know my husband is going to want to help her, but we have got to worry about our own financial picture first. We can't afford to help her. She needs to get a second job.

Not to mention Scott Eastwood - yum. I never cared much for his father even as a young man, but version 2.0 is pretty good.
does 12 years put me in cougar territory?
I went to see it. I'm now in lust. He has eye crinkles and they showed a bare butt

Dh and I ar watching MASH on Netflix.
I hate the terrible late 70s/early 80s the hairstyles. I hate it when people have modern/inaccurate hairstyles on tv/when dressing up from other time periods. DOES NO ONE BOTHER WITH RESEARCH?!?!?

I think the rule is half your age +7 is safe. So, if you're 40, as long as he is 27, you're not a cougar.
