Weekend Randoms 7/1-7/2

izza2 · July 2017

I had to double check that it was actually the weekend and I wasn't supposed to be somewhere.

What are you guys doing this weekend?

catlady1215 · July 2017

I'm suppose to be driving to my parents camp. But currently waiting out a downpour here though

I have no interest in running a 4 yr old to a car in this and hate driving a highway like this. Grrr.

but tomorrow will be nice and we have a cookout with the hubs family.

purplepelican · July 2017

I'm supposed to be cleaning the house right now while DH is off swimming laps. I just don't wanna.

i just saw the new Jumanji trailer and am pretty excited about it. Which reminds me that I never got to see the new Power Rangers movie in theaters. So I will definitely be renting that on Amazon tonight.

ETA: I swear back in the 90s I had a yin yang necklace exactly like the one the white power ranger is wearing in that gif....

ETA: No, I think my necklace also had a peace sign and a yellow smiley face in addition to the yin yang sign. I'm now going down a rabbit hole of 90s nostalgia instead of cleaning

jsnakehole · July 2017

My house is a disaster, my burlesque costume is not finished, and I'm super tired.

So I'm going shopping with my mom. I'm in charge of picking a place for lunch and don't know what I want (is there a place that serves BBQ, Mexican, and Greek? And maybe a little Israeli?)

Epcot. Head for the nearest airport, STAT.

kmalls · July 2017

I'm heading out for some shopping. Alone. This is a very big deal in my world. The solitude will be glorious!

We have a family barbecue this afternoon, which should be fun, but I'm already angry at my hair. It's like 57864% humidity and that shit is NOT pretty

DumbledoresArmy · July 2017

@beanship I DEFINITELY had that same necklace with the yin yang/peace sign/smiley face!!!!!

This weekend I will just be hanging out with my little while the hubby goes golfing with my father-in-law. I plan on watching whatever I want on TV today. (People's Court? Yes please. I'm weird, I know).

jsnakehole · July 2017

@kmalls I wish! I love Epcot. But can you imagine the shitstorm if they opened an Israeli pavilion?

charlestonchew · July 2017

@catlady1215 be safe driving!

I'm going out to eat with my mom and DH today and we're going shoe shopping cause I need new tennis shoes.

purplepelican · July 2017

Following up from my previous post: Actual photo of me during the 90s (except I was like 12)

petethecat · July 2017

Yassss to alone shopping @kmalls! Enjoy your you time!

I went shopping this morning too and got a few cute tops from Old Navy on sale. Now I'm finishing some house projects, cleaning up, and might make a big pot of soup later. I need to give myself a pedicure too.

Is anyone a fan of So You Think You Can Dance? I just watched a few episodes on Hulu last night. I've never watched it before, but I loved it! Some of the dancers are just amazing and have really great stories. I even cried a few times! I mean, I was full of wine and emotions, but still- a great show!

AlohaKumu · July 2017

@beanship I had a whole box of necklaces with that symbol, smiley faces, sunflowers, every vomited neon color of the rainbow. I still have all my slap-on bracelets at my parents' house somewhere, too.

doxiemoxie212 · July 2017

@kbamomma33 I love SYTYCD! I haven't watched the most recent seasons, though, because I haven't loved the format changes. This was the dance that made me fall in love with the show (I strongly reco going down a Mia Michaels choreography rabbit hole):

KariAnn323 · July 2017

Driving out to my parents house for belated Father's Day BBQ. DH is driving and I've got the dog sleeping in my lap

pebbledam · July 2017

DH, some friends, and I went out last night to an escape room. We had to pick the hardest room because that was the only one available early enough so that one of our friends could go to work afterwards. It had a 13% success rate, but we bear it with 22 minutes to spare! It was a lot of fun!

And booze and board games and sleeping in until 11. Today will be yard work and nerding it up at home. Pretty good weekend so far!

KariAnn323 · July 2017

@pebbledam Yay drunk board games! What did you guys play?

msmeeseeks · July 2017

This weekend is kind of a clusterfuck at the Meeseeks household. DH and I are attending the wedding of one of his friends this evening. I'm not looking forward to it because I will only know like 1 person there, and DH is notorious for running off and letting me fend for myself in these situations. Also, there are two groups of DH's family coming for the weekend, both requiring different levels of attention. I have somehow managed to not have any overnight guests at my house, which is great because it is an absolute train wreck over here.

Instead of addressing the complete disarray of my home or spending time with the plethora of visitors, I told everyone I had to run an important errand (because I NEEDED to dick around in Sephora by myself) and now I'm laying in my bed eating candy.

TL;DR - This is how I feel about this weekend:

And in conclusion, Happy Canada Day!

fishsticks-n-custard · July 2017

My husband just made an amazing rotisserie chicken. I think the only way to celebrate is day drinking.

pebbledam · July 2017

@KariAnn323 - Ticket to Ride!

purplepelican · July 2017

@AlohaKumu Yaaas slap on bracelets!!! I wish I'd kept some of my 90s stuff but I was so embarrassed by it that I think it all got thrown out. I was ALL about the tie dye and neon.

@pebbledam I've always wanted to try one of those escape rooms because I play a lot of iPad games that are somewhat similar to that.

@msmeeseeks Omg MH does the same thing at weddings where he knows people and I don't.

So cleaning has not gone well. I tidied while talking on the phone to a friend, went and bought some new house plants, and I'm now at my parents' house (they're out of town) watering plants and watching their cable (we don't have cable). I prob wouldn't have remembered to come over here if I hadn't gotten froyo to go and then had it start immediately liquefying on me. I was closer to their house than to mine. So really this was a froyo emergency that turned into a "I remembered to water your plants" situation.

pebbledam · July 2017

@beanship - Lucky for those plants, lol! You should seriously try a real escape room!

Avrilmai · July 2017

@beanship is Clarissa wearing a Keith Haring shirt? I loved that show. 90s nickelodeon with a social message.

We got home late last night from our vacation. Today is all about laundry, catching up with you ladies and relaxing.

msmeeseeks · July 2017

I LOVE Clarissa! She's my fashion idol. That's where I got my appreciation of Keith Haring!

UPDATE: I'm out of bed, but now I'm laying around in my bathtub. I was supposed to be shaving my legs (also a train wreck!), but I've only managed to do one leg. Still working up the will to finish the task.

purplepelican · July 2017

@Avrilmai @msmeeseeks Clarissa was definitely one of my favorites. I even had a Clarissa Explains It All book. She talked about how ennui was better than boredom because ennui is French, which I just remembered recently when talking with a friend about how we were bored. We decided to call it ennui instead because ennui was more interesting.

purplepelican · July 2017

@pebbledam Hopefully I can keep their plants alive. I kill all of mine and then have to buy new ones. DH says I'm a fern serial killer. I keep trying to convince him to do an escape room with me!

becausescience · July 2017

Happy Canada Day to my northern neighbors!

becausescience · July 2017

I'm on mobile and too lazy to tag as I already did on WTO and it too forever. So I'll be lovetitting.

We're visiting my in-laws to celebrate DH's bday (which is really next week. ) Joy.

icecubeinthedesert · July 2017

I just finally got my library's copy of Kushiel's Dart on my Kindle app. I've been waiting since it was first discussed here and I added it to my library holds. Excited to read it after hearing about how a lot of you loved it.

I spent all last night working on R scripts to make pretty graphs for work. Not because I had to, but because it was a fun logic problem for me. I'm a nerd.

So far today I got up early to get some cleaning done, then took a nap with the dog.

[Deleted User] · July 2017

I have run the vaccuum ...and DH and I brought some boxes of books down from the attic to stock up a shelf down here since we rearranged our whole downstairs. But we don't have AC on the main level (only in the bedrooms) so instead of much else, we are plastered to our seats watching hobbits and playing on our phones. Lol I at least need to work up the motivation to switvh out my old phone for the new one the insurance sent ... before they try to charge me extra! :#

becausescience · July 2017

Meanwhile in Wisconsin...

icecubeinthedesert · July 2017

Lol, @becausescience. I'm so excited to be heading back to WI later this week!

adirat · July 2017

@becausescience That is the best thing ever. I would love to wake up and see an elephant in my yard. @icecubeinthedesert keep an eye out! I'll be in Wisconsin later in July and will definitely expect to seen an elephant now...

jrm_14 · July 2017

@beanship There is a 90's girls night in a few weeks my sister &I'm I are going to when I go to visit. I so wish I had kept all those sweet necklaces!

I napped all afternoon. We ordered pizza for dinner and cinnamon sticks. They were greatly disapointing. Now I'm dreaming of sno-cones.

I should pull myself up and go check on my friend's house (vacay). I ordered a new mop through her, so if I go, I can get it. But then I feel like I need to clean. Ugh, decisions.

Edit:grammer

KariAnn323 · July 2017

@jsnakehole I'm so jealous that you have so many different options by you for food! As ethnic as we get out here is Thai food. I'd kill to have a good Indian place nearby.
@kmalls I love shopping by myself. I feel like if I'm with other people, then I'm under pressure to rush.
@beanship Clarissa is the best!
@kbamomma33 I don't watch SYTYCD a lot, but I love that it's a reality show that requires skill and not drama.
@msmeeseeks GL at the wedding tonight!
@pebbledam I love Ticket to Ride. We don't own it yet because most of our friends have it, but it's definitely on the "To Buy" list.
@Avrilmai How was vacation?
@icecubeinthedesert I'm so excited for you to read Kushiel's Dart!
@becausescience I saw about the elephant this morning on the news. That's exciting and terrifying at the same time.

hedgepig · July 2017

@pebbledam I love Ticket to Ride!

jsnakehole · July 2017

@KariAnn323 It's a blessing and a curse. I think I walked enough to burn off maybe a quarter of the Mexican food we got.

I also spent a little more than I intended to today (as always happens when I go out with my mom), but it was worth it. Everywhere was having crazy sales, so I got a lot of stuff.

Avrilmai · July 2017

@KariAnn323 we had a great time. Chicago, Good food, good fun. I love museums and they did not disappoint. We also saw a second city show & Tom Petty and Chris Stapleton at Wrigley.
Thanks for asking! (And for the recommendations)

petethecat · July 2017

@Avrilmai Tom Petty and Chris Stapleton! I bet that was an awesome show! Nice to hear that you had a good vacation!

catlady1215 · July 2017

@kbamomma33 love SYTYCD! I don't love the auditions episodes as much.

pebbledam · July 2017

In my search for a new siggy, I found this and had to share.
