Rounding out my Weekend in Pictures..

Yesterday Steph and I threw our girlfriend Nolle a wedding barbecue. Noelle is the really low-key, doesn’t like being the center of attention kind of girl (a concept that confuses me) so we did a fun 50’s Beach Party by the lake instead of the traditional type of thing. 

Last night Boy and I decided to stay in rather than go out…and ended up paying drinking games.  Which he won.  But I’m too much of lady to say here just what I lost. 

This morning I actually…gasp…worked. On a Saturday. Ugh. Busy is lame.

Afterwards we went on a shopping marathon for a girlfriend’s wedding party we’re throwing tomorrow. I’m on a strict budget so the only ting I got for myself were these shoes…17 dollars! How could I not?

Weekend in pics: 8/20…catching up on this while sitting in the world’s longest car wash line. Fri after work Steph and I had S’mores for a friend who is moving. I didn’t eat them, of course, but had a lot of fun burning stuff.

-Friday night we drove to BFE to curl up in the bed of Boy’s truck and watch the Perseids.  It was pretty amazing.  Then we made out.  What? Obviously.

-Saturday was lost in the abyss of days.  I slept, I showered at 4:30, I visited the parents, I slept some more.  Boy came over, we went out for a quick drink, and then back home, where I…here’s a shock..fell asleep.

-Sunday was non-eventful and perfect.  We slept in, made breakfast (deets on that to follow),  went shopping for boy clothes (not as fun as shopping for girl clothes, but it will do), took a long walk by the river, and then cuddled up for a movie.

All-in-all it was relaxing and pretty much just what I needed after the last week of emotional turbulence.

I don’t know why I bother to try to do my weekend in pictures.  It’s not like I ever succeed.  So, to catch you up (ohmygodhowexcitedareyourightnow?)

Friday night:  Boy (dropping the “new”) met the parents.  That’s right.  Luckily it went very well, and there was no mention of milking either my parents cats, or my parents.  So there’s that. Also, I bought a 6 candy necklaces for a dollar at Target. I feel like that’s noteworthy.

Saturday: The morning was lazy, walked down and got coffee and breakfast from one of my favorite little coffee shops.  Ran a couple of errands that we had, and then went to a party of some of his friends and people that he works with.  They are attorneys and geologists and listening to their conversations I started to understand how Sarah Palin feels whens she listens to anyone talk about…well, anything.  Hopefully they thought I was pretty, because that’s all I had. That night we drove to Lake Tahoe.  Dinner and a little bit of gambling losing at the casino, and then back to my family’s cabin, where we were staying.

Sunday: Sunday morning we woke up late, boy went and got coffee and we sat out on the rooftop deck in the morning mountain air.  I’m pretty sure that’s close to my idea of heaven.

Then we headed to the lake.  The sun was shining and we swam in the warm water.  We could see storm clouds brewing, and like fools thought, oh, we’ll get to see a thunderstorm and gee, how nice will that be.

Except, the thunderstorm became a hail storm, with golf ball sized hail.  Which turned into a golf-ball-sized hail downpour, which we found ourselves running through, doing what we could to dodge the  There are a couple of spots where I was hit that are going to bruise, and right about the time I got struck in the head by one a woman in a cabin called us over to take refuge until it passed. 

Needless to say, our day at the beach was over, but heading back to our cabin and spending the afternoon curled up in bed together with the thunder rolling outside was not a bad way to spend the day.

Weekend in pics: Saturday night recap.
My *FAKE* bachelorette party.  Here’s a few.

That are on their way from last night’s faux bachelorette party.  Of course, I didn’t take them, so I have to wait. 

This weekend was exceptional and amazing.  Except for how much 2 nights in a row of heavy drinking was a bit too much on me, and I’ve spent the day wanting to die.  I’m so completely exhausted that I just cried for like an hour straight, and I’m not sure why. 

I’m feeling like I need to go to sleep now, and sleep for the next 10 hours, until I have to get up tomorrow morning. 

Holy hell I feel am old. 

Last night there was a lot of this.  New Boy was good to keep around as a photographer. 

Tonight is round two…bigger and better.  We’ll see if we can take it.

Getting old is rough.  

And here we go…

Dinner is served!

Weekend in pics: Shannon is here!

Weekend in pics words recap, because I am wretched about remembering to actually take pictures, so the full weekend went like this…after I got my car yesterday (where we left off, you and I), I drove..and drove…and drove.  Because after a few weeks of not having that ability I was so happy to have my freedom back I could have cried.  Plus I love her. 

New Boy came over and we went to dinner, saw Inception, drove a bit (seriously, I love her) and then went to the bar.  

Today, because I am the most awesome girlfrrr…nope..I thought I’d give it a shot, but I choked on it a bit there, even in the typing…annnnyyway,..I am the best friend of the female persuasion ever I went back to the car lots and spent the day in yet another dealership while New Boy bought his own new car. 

Tonight we made dinner and relaxed.  And now, somehow it is over and I head back to hell tomorrow.

Lather, rinse, repeat. 

My new (used) Passat. Yay!
