I'd waited for weeks in anticipation of last weekend.
Two girl's nights in one weekend. giddy UP.
Friday night was at Laura's mom's house- one of my second mothers.
Since I don't have any biological sisters, these girls have taken me in to assure that I have FIVE. They include me in the good times and I don't have to deal with much of the sister drama. WINNER.
We ordered in from Maddox and each brought our own project to work on, mine of course was my sweater.
Jenn was working on gorgeous quilts for her daughters, Kate on some needlepoint, Eileen knitting on a baby sweater, Sar was cutting jeans for a quilt, Hayley switched projects so often I'm not really sure what she was doing, and Laura was doing a pumpkin.
It was a great night being with my adopted sisters and I got the sleeves done on my sweater! Holy balls. It's actually coming right along and I hope to have it finished in a week :)
I've never laughed so hard as I did Friday night, until Saturday night rolled around....
The night started out with dinner at Tona, which is always amazing. It was fun trying to help Rebecca (aka B-DOG) decide on what sushi rolls to order since she'd only had it once before. I still have a hard time deciding. It's all SO GOOD.
After dinner we skipped next door (ok, actually walked like a complete handicap since I had new heels on... :/ ) to Brewskis for a drink or two.
Breanne, Erica, Rebecca, Me
I love this picture of Breezy, what a cutie.
After Brewskis we went back to Erica's for a pajama party. We played the longest Jenga game EVER and laughed the night away.
With enough peer pressure (and booze), Erica eventually did her Raptor impression, which is frighteningly retarded comedy. Don't worry kids, Alicia has a video preserved for posterity.
Some of the pictures taken throughout the night I'd like to put up, but would require consent forms from the parties involved, and that's just too much damn work.
Thanks girls (Erica, Brein, Rebecca, Breanne, Alicia, Jenn, Megan), for a most excellent night!
Sunday night we were straight ballers.
Dollar Menunaires. Oh yeah, that's right.
Due to circumstances in this shit ball economy, we've had to cut way back. It was Erica's first Sunday family dinner joining the ranks of the destitute and there's no better fitted meal for that than McDonald's dollar menu. It really doesn't matter where we eat because we're always in good company.
On Monday, Laura tempted me with craft stores. One of our favorites in Roy is closing, so we had to go pay our respects (and get awesome deals).
Let me all clue you in on a secret. Get closer. Closer. Ok.
-Shopping with a two year old wears you out.
Oh, you may have heard this before? Yeah, well, this was my first experience.
Picking up things thrown out of the cart, quelling the panic attacks when his mother leaves his line of sight, making sure he isn't adding items to the cart or putting back what you've put in it. These may be every day issues for mothers, and I'm sure you get used to them, but hells was I tired. I love Cody. Don't get me wrong. He just has the uncanny ability to make my brain turn to mush.
Which brings us to Today. I feel like I'm getting sick, and this really shouldn't surprise me since I feel like all I've done is run for 4 days.
I took a nap, and now I think I might drink a dayquil-vodka cocktail and go out to the shop and run the scroll saw for a while.
Safety is for suckers. :)
