Weekend BS 4/29

wyomama0427 · April 2017

Hello friends. Our board is so slow, weekends literally drag. Share your weekend BS here!

Edited to say, BS includes all things happy, sad, and random AF.

Edited again because apparently firefox doesn't want me to gif, so I had to reopen this in chrome.

I was supposed to be driving to a wedding today, but they are expecting bad weather (like hail and possible tornados) up there and I didn't want the extra stress. Pretty sure I'm going to spend the whole weekend lounging around instead.

wyomama0427 · April 2017

@bridge-and-wall yeah I wouldn't mess around with that either!

klcarr19 · April 2017

I'm recovering from my daughter being sick and passed it onto me... DH has DD upstairs so I can rest... and i just realized I have classwork for an endorsement due at midnight...

ps: it's in the 90's this weekend and I feel like outside is officially off limits for me!

awildrose · April 2017

DH is working today. My to-do list consists of:
sleeping in
cleaning aomething
walk to the beach to get sand for DDs school project
nap
maybe clean something else

MyNamesTaken · April 2017

DH works today and tomorrow. DS has already worn me out and it's not even 11. I'm hoping to get our spare room cleaned up so I can start converting it to DS' new room. That might be too ambitious for today!

A friend came over last night and we watched Bill Nye and ate junk. #wildfridaynight

MrsJessS · April 2017

My SIL and her boyfriend are staying with us tonight which is super exciting but means I am running around frantically cleaning. I went to make the bed in the guest room and realized the clean sheets I threw in there a week or so ago were still damp and smelled like death, so I get to re-wash those as well. Along with airing out the room and burning a candle. Oops.

sarahufl · April 2017

It is 80 degrees and muggy out. Bleh.

Hopefulmommy1980 · April 2017

My step son has a basketball game this afternoon. After it about 6 family members are coming over for dinner. I am regretting agreeing to this when dh suggested it. He has not been as helpful with preparing as promised.

mrsvp614 · April 2017

I'm on call at work, and DH is sick. We're supposed to go to a work party tonight, but I have a feeling DH will want to back out, even though I bought an outfit.

I need to do some cleaning, but other than that, we'll be lazy after two weekends of guests... and next weekend we'll be working.

I'm pretty sure H feels badly for spending basically all weekend with his friends (Magic for a few hours today, and driving to So. Maine tomorrow to play DnD with his best friends from highschool - I cannot believe the man I married sometimes). So this morning after he got home from work (works overnights) he did some dishes, he went to the dump to do the recycling, and he put these in the oven so he can make me potato skins Monday.

He's gone now,so I'm on the couch, drinking a faux-mosa (oj with some seltzer water that H forgot to finish). He asked me to wait until he gets home this evening to do laundry. So I have nothing on my agenda until 5 or 6.

I haven't decided if I want to try to be productive or if I want to lounge all day.

wyomama0427 · April 2017

@jena333-2 oh yummm... I'm coming over for potato skins

jena333-2 · April 2017

I had very few food cravings with this pregnancy (with our loss I NEEDED avocados every day and udon noodles) through the first trimester. But man, I've been obsessed for a week with skins for a week now. I'm trying to balance each eating by starting with a huge salad, so that means it's ok, right?

msashley2010-2 · April 2017

Those potatoes look mighty tasty!!!!

I'm staying at a beach house today! Got my new maternity bathing suit on and I'm excited to get some sun.

divinemsm620 · April 2017

Those potatoes look DELICIOUS.

DH and I went for a walk to get an early lunch--we got shawarma, yum yum. It is warm out there, and ooh boy, it is a bad allergy day in the Northeast. The internet told me the pollen count is 11.8 out of 12. I'm trying to regroup from the sneezing on the couch before breaking out the laptop to do some work.

I got a pollen alert from CVS - but your post made me put two and two together, I slept with the window open and a fan in it. This explains the coughing and sneezing this morning that cleared itself up. I've never really dealt with allergies before.

jena333-2 · April 2017

Random: Have you ever Googled your name + SO's name to see what other couples come up? H and I have what I consider an uncommon pair of names, but I found one other married couple, and self-published series of novels where the two lead characters have our names.

They are THE WORST. I am not sure whether I'm still sick from weeks ago (sore throat is long gone, but I'm still hoarse and coughing up phlegm) or if my typically bad allergies have gotten even worse thanks to pregnancy.

My medication list says Claritin and Zyrtec are both pregnancy-safe! I have been taking my Zyrtec every day. It doesn't do much when the pollen counts are THIS high, however.

DPandMB · April 2017

Walk through with my tenants this morning and DD 1's prom today. Busy day for us.

jena333-2 · April 2017

So far I've just been coughing in the morning when I first get up, and some (manageable) sneezing during the day.

H takes a daily allergy pill (he's mildly allergic to the cats, I was like, tough, they were here first), and he doesn't seem to be having any difficulty.

sarahufl · April 2017

Now I want potato skins.

labby18 · April 2017

so i've been MIA because, life, that's why. DH had the flu and was dying for like 3 days and we had our A/S yesterday and did our registry. Today we had our annual HOA meeting and elected a new board of directors...holy drama! HOA meetings are like voting for class president in high school. and everyone's elect me because speech was bullcrap...I know when they take over it's gonna be like this:

Anyways, I am now at the office to meet with 2 clients then I'm taking my booty home to reeeelax.

tfrangul · April 2017

Did some searching online for a vehicle this morning then worked on some cleaning. My allergies were terrible so I took a Benadryl and laid down with the baby. Dh is running errands so me and my daughter are watching law and order while the baby naps. I can't wait for him to get home with my Reese's and ice cream!!

mrs_tacos · April 2017

Ciara and Russell Wilson just had their baby. It's a girl, and the named her...Sienna Princess. The FN is NMS, but fine. That MN though...

That just strikes me as a stripper name. Why subject a girl to that sort of teasing in school?

_Erica_ · April 2017

My husband and I were loading up the car to take our bored puppy for a walk, when he got paged for a critical event at work. He drove me to the park (while on the call), I walked the dog while he took the call and we all came home with him still on the call. He resolved it just as we were pulling back into our driveway. Ugh!!!

MrsJessS · April 2017

With Ciara I *think* that is her middle name and was maybe her mother's name? I saw it on Facebook so questionable reliability of facts.

I got all my cleaning done while DH worked (20 hour and of overtime this week!) so afternoon all the Dunkaroo talk I am rewarding myself with graham crackers and frosting. And coconut La Croix which is my new addiction.

We moved to a neighborhood in our city without an HOA and it is glorious!!! you want a fence? Great, put one up. You want to paint your house? Go ahead. Thankfully everyone has great taste and respects each other so there haven't been any issues. We have a "neighborhood committee" for parties ha.

JNR6510 · April 2017

I could never live in an HOA neighborhood. DH likes to do various projects all the time. I doubt a HOA would be happy about the powertool noise going on some days.

Carebella · April 2017

Some days I like having an HOA and some days I hate it.

For our our next house I'm insanely tempted to build from plans we create ourselves. I'm so tired of finding things done wrong or poorly in both of the houses we've bought.

Cats*in*space · April 2017

My final project for my class is due Monday and I want to mentally check out SO BADLY. I've already calculated how low I can get and still get a B in the class. Come on 60%!!!

awildrose · April 2017

HOAs are pretty uncommon around here and I'm so glad. They sound like a nightmare. Plus, I don't want another bill with HOA fees.

Ae_Lovely321 · April 2017

I think HOAs are a necessary evil. I just hate the ones who take life too seriously.

wyomama0427 · April 2017

I just took a bath. With a lovely lavender bath bomb. I keep catching whiffs of myself and it's heavenly.

lap018 · April 2017

We love having an HOA especially since my father in law is the HOA president! Some people will absolutely take it too far and that's no fun, but I definitely like having the ability to say something when someone is being obnoxious. I say this only because our last house did not have an HOA and my husband and I listened for 5 years to four wheelers and dirt bikes literally in our back yard every 2 hours every single day! We called the cops several times but they never came fast enough to catch anyone and one time told us what we were hearing were bull frogs ..... so all that to say I love being able to actually hear the birds and the wind and the crickets and not some loud obnoxious off road vehicle while im trying to read a book

Carebella · April 2017

Our MFing water heater isn't working again. And the mess of trying to get it fixed on a weekend has me ragey. Showers are my sanity. It might be Tuesday or Wednesday before we have hot water. Not. Happy.

MyNamesTaken · April 2017

@Carebella ours was down for a few days a few months ago. It's so frustrating! Hope it's up and running soon!

Carebella · April 2017

Thanks @MyNamesTaken. I'm tempted to override DH and pay the additional money to have someone come tomorrow. Saving money is nice. But so are hot showers and so is not being pissed off everytime I think about it.

LaceyC1020 · April 2017

I hate having an HOA. We're on a corner lot and when we first moved in we got a citation for the bushes going over the sidewalk too far. (Let me just add that we had only lived here 3 weeks. Give me a break!!) So we paid to have them cut back. They came out again to inspect and said they were fine. The VERY NEXT week, another citation for the freakin bushes!!! I'm no plant expert, but there's NO WAY they grew that fast!!

And @Carebella, I feel your pain. Ours just bit the dust and had to be replaced...I hope they fix yours fast!!!

Edited because autocorrect hates me...

Carebella · April 2017

Thanks @LaceyC1020. It's newer too, February 2014, and it was fixed on March 14th... I suspect nothing but more trouble from the unit. If it has another issue after this fix I'm going to demand the manufacturer replace it. Also, I'd be pissed with your HOA too, that's BS.

beccam1230 · April 2017

I love having an HOA.. DH is president of it

we really don't have many issues. But I love knowing about the neighborhood bitches!! There are only a few of them but they are ALWAYS complaining about something, and they're always ridiculous complaints. It's pretty entertaining.
