And just like that....

It's Monday again.

How was the weekend ladies?

[cuddlyevil]

My weekend was good. Friday night was so much fun, I didn't expect it to be that much fun. Saturday was pretty low key. Yesterday I ended up doing 8 miles on the river, I came home and ate all of the things. I may have some bruises on my hands from getting myself unstuck, but I can lift my arms which is impressive.

Weekend was good. Was on call for a part of it and got one weird call, so that was fun and the money is good! Went kayaking with the cop and then we went to a demolition derby. Yesterday was church and errands. All in all a good weekend.

My weekend was nice but I'm glad my guests are gone. I really just don't like people staying in my house. I'm probably super sensitive but a bunch of dumb stuff bugged me with them here:

My cousin kept getting snacks and eating them on my brand new furniture. She's known in our family for being a slob (like I won't sit on the toilet seat at her house - that dirty) so I get that this is probably common practice in her home but seriously have some consideration. And it's not like she doesn't know that I have a very clean home. We joke about how opposite we are in that regard.

Her daughter would have slept the entire time had we let her. Literally she'd have just stayed in the guest room the whole time if my cousin hadn't made her come out. 14 year olds....yuck.

I took them to an afternoon tea at the St. Regis yesterday. We discussed leaving at 3:30pm. I finish getting ready and head to the living room where my cousin in sitting on the couch reading at about 3:25. I asked if everyone was ready and my cousin stands up and goes, "I am!". She then explains that she couldn't get her daughter to put on anything nicer than jean shorts and tank top. Um, St. Regis. Sunday afternoon tea. Make the kid put on something decent. Then she sees me looking at her and goes, "I'm ok though, right?" Um, no, you have on sorts and a tank top with flip flops yourself. Sure, your shorts have a bit of lace on them but no, that is not appropriate for afternoon tea at the St. Regis. Maybe I should have just let it go but I didn't want her to be embarrassed when we got there. So I found her something to wear of mine. Which, by the way, I'd offered multiple times leading up to leaving.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy it's Monday because I get my home back

[bullygirl979]

Noooooooooooo....I don't want it to be Monday

Weekend was alright, although I had drinks at a friend's house on Saturday and I should have watched her make them. They didn't taste super strong, but I ended up getting hammered, and therefore was totally useless yesterday. Not how I like to spend my weekend.

I do have to share a random, that I didn't get a chance to post about on Friday. I talked with the AVP of Ops on Friday, and she told me that she'd like me to join her group when the re-org happens. I was super happy as there are three ops groups in my region, and I didn't want to do the other two. I told her to let me know once she knows for sure that she will have open positions. As long as she has positions, I'll have my choice between staying with my boss or going to ops.

Nothing says Monday like a complaint about a failing septic system first thing! I'm just now having my coffee after working through to deal with that issue.

I had a good weekend, poor A was sick and not himself. I have been frustrated trying to print photos for weeks through shutterfly and walgreens apps - they say they are receiving the order, but never receive it and want me to resend, come into the store, etc. and I finally just gave up. A showed up Friday night with a photo printer for me. And it's pretty awesome!!

We hung out at the pool and met some friends for dinner/drinks Saturday and then brunch/drinks Sunday as well. We were going to look at some houses, but hit a snag with my friend's MLS certification. Apparently they never got it so he's working through that issue this week.

I also started my "long" runs in prep for my half in November. Somehow it's been very nice and low humidity the past two weeks, which has made running so much more enjoyable. For August, it's weird, but I'll take it! It definitely makes me ready for the fall.

[chalupa]

kaneen I'm always happy when house guests leave, too. It's MY space and they're ruining it, LOL

The weekend was too short, as usual. Saturday was absolutely gorgeous out - 70* and sunny. It was something crazy like 55 when I left the house in the morning, and felt like a crisp fall day. The pups and I made use of the newly fenced yard and just sat around in the sunshine on the deck.

Yesterday I got a ton done - mowed the lawn at both houses (ugh! STILL FREAKING WAITING for the new closing date. I hate these buyers), took down the worst of the old-lady window treatments in the house and hung some that are more my style. The guest room still needs window treatments, but of course the windows are at weird heights and I'm going to have to get something hemmed (or hem it myself with the iron-on tape crap). Darn vaulted ceilings. Anyhow, our family room is finally DONE and feels like us. Two rooms down (master and family room), a bunch to go...

[gault]

I'm so glad to hear that others are protective of their spaces, too. I grew up in a family that is the more the merrier, and felt like I was being selfish that I don't like to host people very often.

The weekend was nice! I worked a job fair in the morning on saturday, and got to see my niece and nephew on Sunday. It was a wake up call because my nephew barely recognized me. I haven't seen them in a month. This needs to change. We used to be best buddies and it made me so sad.

The rest of the weekend was napping. I slept so damn much.

[starrieskies]

The weekend was good. Nothing super exciting, just hanging out with my boys and MG. I did pull out a top that I've been wanting to wear for a while, but felt like I needed to loose a bit more weight before it would fit right. I put it on for the first time in 3 months and it fit amazingly! Now I just need to schedule a sitter for a night so MG and I can go out so I have an excuse to wear it!

[udscoobychick]

My tolerance for guests depends on how well I know them and how high-maintenance they are...I can handle guests much better when I know them well and can relax around them!

Weekend was good. There was nothing going on Saturday OR Sunday morning, so DH and I got to sleep in two days in a row! That hasn't happened in months! I did some weeding and some cooking while DH and SS worked on redoing our deck in the mornings. Saturday afternoon, we went to hear a friend's band play, and I practiced for an upcoming performance. Sunday afternoon, we went to a movie afternoon at a friend's house and watched the new Power Rangers movie (so much nostalgia!) and Sausage Party, which was terrible. We relaxed at home both Saturday and Sunday night.

I got DRENCHED coming in to work today because I didn't have an umbrella, and I came in a little late, so I had to park farther away from the door. I'm finally starting to dry out a little.

[starrieskies]

Also, S's hair is out of control...  (pictures for a very limited time)

*poof*

I think it's time for a cut, but when I don't comb it out dry it's fine...  don't mind my goofy face, my skin has been super oily lately.

*poof*

[chalupa]

starrieskies you and S are both adorable.

[idahome]

I could use about 5 more days off right now, it overall the weekend was good. Worked a half day Saturday and managed to get a lot accomplished in the office. The rest of the weekend involved a few errands, dinner out, reading and relaxing. Exactly what I needed.

Today is going less than awesome, but it's almost over. I'm just trying to keep my head down and stay focused on my work.

[tiramisu]

starrieskies S is so adorable! That face!

My tolerance for guests also depends on who it is, but overall runs very short. I need my alone space and time and I need my sanctuary.

This weekend was good. Friday night I told people I had plans so I could just stay in and relax. Saturday I went to my boss's retirement party, which was really really nice. I'm going to miss her.

Saturday evening I had a second date. He sent me a message telling me what restaurant while I was getting ready for the retirement party, so I ended up not responding for hours. When I finally did, he told me he'd cancelled the reservation because he thought I wasn't coming (I'd previously confirmed). Ended up going anyway, went to the same restaurant and it was great. Partway through he mentions that we're going somewhere else afterwards which was a surprise to me. We ended up being out later than I wanted and he bought me one more drink than I wanted, so I was a little grumpy. It made getting up for a hike yesterday morning tough.

But! Yesterday I went on a hike with one of my friends and then we got burritos. A little later I met up with another friend and we spent the afternoon window shopping at the mall and singing along to Whitney Houston in her car.

I am in Wisconsin at my bff's lakehouse. We had a girls wknd with our other friend "T" but she just left. I am here till Wednesday. It has been a fun wknd but some of T's behavior has been kind of sad. Me and ML are both divorced and are not anti man but yet very much "I am woman here me roar". Neither of us need a man in our life. Sure a partner would be nice but it is not needed.

T use to be this way too but she is now dating this guy and she cannot make a single decision in her life without talking to him about it. Hell she couldn't even go on a quick boat ride last night to dinner without first texting him. Then we get to dinner and she takes a picture of the menu and asks him what she should order. Wtf?!

It is just sad to see her lose herself in a guy.

did anyone say anything to her

[doglove]

What happened mags??

[mags]

Ill shorten this as much as possible.

I hate my SIL since day one...and her 3 prefect children. They are the stars that shine in the heavens to the whole family. She has always treated my kids like shit and they are to blame for all the asshole things her kids ever do. I tried for years to tell my kids to take bigger road and forced them to go to family events when they were younger. As they go older I no longer made them go,

So, fast forward 15 years...my kids have not seen his family in about 3 years. Danilo and his bf happened to be going into the city while we were there so we invited them to come to dinner with all of us. There were 18, including cuntface and her 3 superstars.

the older one has turned out to be a really good kid (22 now) younger one is ok...20 year old not so much.

Anyway everyone was drinking before dinner and 20 year old is an asshole when he drinks. (his parents know this)

We sit down to dinner and he his 2 brothers, danilo and joe, all sit across from each othr and they are ALL telling him he needs to stop drinking because he cant handle anymore. He gets pissed and starts talking shit. One of Stefans brothers takes him outside and they come back 10 min later. I texted danilo at this point and said do not look or say another work to this asshole. (my exact words)

His brothers take his next beer and hide it when he goes to bathroom, he comes back to table, flips out, starts cursing and blames danilo. danilo turns to their mom and says here is the beer your son took it.

She gives him back the beer, but he is still flipping out...so his mom and dad take him outside. I said to his dad as he left...maybe he shouldn't drink anymore.

They are gone for about 20 min. when cuntface storms back in sits across from danilo and starts yelling at him. Danilo starts yelling back...she said danilo called her son gay...and all this other bullshit. That's when I tell her shed better shut the fuck yo, and I tell danilo to get up and leave the table. Her other 2 sons start yelling at her as well. saying danilo never said anything of the sort and she attacked danilo. she says to be I did not attack him, I said you are a fucking liar because I heard every single word you said, he sons also said you definitely attacked him.

I looked at her husband and I said this is exactly why my kids want nothing to do with this family.

I got up took danilo upstairs to the room, packed my bags and left!

im still fucking steaming

Im supposed to be at my MILs house today but did not go

[doglove]

Ugh mags, that sounds awful.

[chalupa]

omg mags. I'm steaming for you and D. Fuck them.

[mags]

I want to cut the bitch

[mags]

I canceled my 3 days at mils house
I am not angry at her but better not talk to her because id say some not so nice things.

I am going to speak to her tomorrow and tell her he dil is a cunt and my kids do not feel or want to be part of the family because of her and her kids and that mil has always allowed the behavior and I will not tolerate or allow my kids to be subject to it anymore.

I will not attend any gatherings with her again.

[tiramisu]

Damn mags, that's awful. Fuck those two and fuck all of that enabling behavior. I don't blame you for getting the fuck away from all of them.

[udscoobychick]

I'm sorry you all had to deal with that, mags. That's terrible.
