Re: Hey weekend! What up witchu?

  • DH is fishing, so I'm alone.  Tonight I'm going to continue "relaxing" and then tomorrow I'm goin to a pool party.  I have to bring a dessert so I'm going to practice tonight.

    Sunday, I will do nothing.  Probably just clean my house.

    Wow!  I'm super boring!!

  • Tonight DH and I might go watch Despicable Me 2. I loved the 1st one! Tomorrow morning we're going kayaking on a lake and then we are supposed to go to a birthday party for a friend's child. I might see if we can get out of that though. It always sucks to be the only couple at a child's party without kids.

  • It's house project weekend!  For the record, I think wallpaper is a miserable invention, so I'll be silently cursing the previous owners of our house for using so much glue to install so much of the dreadful, now horribly dated stuff.  Thankfully, we have some help this weekend to make a dent in the process, for which I'm very grateful.

    Since I'm going on the record, you can also place me firmly in the can't-even-watch-previews-of-horror-movies camp.  Yikes. :) 

    Married 8/2008. IVF with PGD March 2013.
    3/22 ER: 25R, 20M, 15F. 9 genetically normal, and 3 survived to Day 5
