Great Long Weekend

May 23, 2011 23:12

WOW... can't believe the weekend is already over..... Been a busy one.

We had a list of things we wanted to do this weekend and the weather forecast was NOT promising. Luckily, like usual, the forecast was waaaaay off.

Number one on our to-do list was to replace the fence in the pool area. Our pool was fenced in on 3 sides by a chain ( Read more... )

Oh my you had a busy long weekend!

I spent most of mine at work, which was incredibly busy. Had a few family friends over, and my brother's girlfriend slept over and we had a night of smores making and beer drinking in the backyard. My legs are covered in damn mosquito bites and my beer and marshmallow supply are in desperate need of re-stocking, but it was totally worth it. :P

Oh I'm so jealous! Can't remember the last time I spent the night by a fire drinkin' beer.

I would totally say "come on over Friday night!" but we live kinda far from one another ...... :(

It's something that my brother and I have started recently because a) I am now old enough to buy our booze and b) our parents finally trust us (reluctantly) to play with fire... :P Hehe

LOLOL (((you))). I so hear you on the Costco thing. I've nearly murdered several people at the supermarket this week. Including an old person on one of those mobility scooters. Deep breaths... :D

Oh I know! I also have to remind myself to take it down a notch or two when I have the kids with me.

I spend a lot of time just chanting to myself "You're not in a rush... you're not in a rush.... you're not in a rush" otherwise I'd probably to postal on someone.

The brother in law visiting sounds like great news. Great timing as well with the pool fence. I can totally understand with what you mean by they don't just sit and talk.

I just clicked on your link there, I had no idea such devices actually existed. Kiki woke twice yesterday night, I just let her work it out herself, when I got her out of bed this morning, she had 12 mosquito bites on her head *sigh* I felt really bad...

Men are just so funny that way. Unless there's a LOT of alcohol involved, they have to be doing something together because sitting around ain't gonna cut it.

As for the mosquito thingy... I don't know if it'll make a difference but I went to see if it was working and there are a shit load of dead mosquitos over there so... fingers crossed.

Awe... poor baby. Frakking mosquitos are brutal!

Do you guys have benadryl cream over there? I use it on all the bites the kids get and it really seems to help. It takes the swelling down right away and seems to eliminate the itch.

I have something similar that I use, but I still felt very sorry for her.

A shitload of dead mosquitos sounds like it´s working. It better be!

sounds like you had a very nice weekend... even if busy!

frakkin_eh May 25 2011, 01:48:12 UTC

yeah we did... and our weekends ALWAYS seem busy. That's okay though... busy can be fun if you let it.

This weekend we're going to take the kids to the fair..... super awesome!!!!!!!
