weekend update/recap

this weekend was a rather enjoyable one. not only cuz i saw my friend NEAR, but that i also had a new experience with HM.

friday - well, it started off normal enough and at a slow enough pace. we went to a kid-friendly happy hour of sorts, in honor of sharky. there were chips, dips, chains, whips... just kidding. the chains and whips didn't come in until much later. KIDDING! (hi mamalane!)

anyways, we hung out there for a while. got to spend some time with portabello, lil bo pEEp, sharky and the hostess with the mostess, christy. the wailing kids weren't so horrible so we stayed longer than actually intended. we were supposed to meet the reverend E.T. out for a drink later but then she called and said she had a date.

so, we leave the kid-friendly happy hour and go to retrieve sadie. we hung out with HM's buddy for about a beer long and caught a second wind. we knew we didn't want to go to the really smoky bar everyone else was going to so we opted to go home. alas, we get a call. it's cousin rob! yes, the same cousin who almost destroyed my laptop with his game downloads! he's in town and he wants us to meet him at Sugar's. no, it's not a candy store. yes, it is exactly what you think it is with a name like that!

we had actually already planned on going to Sugar's on saturday nite. why, you ask? only because the #2 porn star (second behind jenna jameson) in the world was there! brianna banks! she is apparently one of HM's favorites so i said, "what the hell? why not?". i am not one to restrain my man or deny him his ...likes? ...fetishes? ...wants? ...needs? however, if i am to allow him this guilty pleasure, i shall accompany him. there are certain people (only one guy actually) i will not let him go with. plus, since cousin rob was going to be there, i wanted to take this opportunity to knock him upside his head for messing up my Lappy.

the boys had a really good time and i am actually glad we went. i had fun, too.

saturday - from such a late nite before, we didn't get moving around until pretty late in the afternoon. HM had a massive hangover and well, i'm just lazy like that. when i finally got up i went to get measured for my dress alterations. these shops are ridiculous. i didn't even think to lie and tell them my wedding was earlier than it actually is. how is it going to take you almost TWO months to let out TWO inches in the bust!?!?!? oh, but then if it isn't right when you come back, they can have it done again in a week. what a load of crap!

after the dress measuring, i went to pick up some groceries for pizza and movie nite. i made a really good shrimp\artichoke\pesto pizza, recipe c/o the ellistrator and addie (she told me to use more garlic). by the way, addie... one clove more was WAY too much! i can still taste it today!

oh, and the movie we saw was cars. cute flick.

sunday - sharky, lil bo pEEp and double d came out to central america for lunch. since she visited last, i've been making myself more aware of vegetarian meals in the cookbooks i look through. her last visit consisted of a whole lotta grilled cheese sandwiches! i didn't feel so bad when she said that's all she ever eats at home and that's all bo pEEp and DD ate when they went to visit her in holland.

i was rather impressed with myself. i made vegetarian tostadas... not exactly from the recipe book but it was all stuff she could eat. HM grilled some chicken for the carnivores to add to it. good stuff. he also made a pizza to snack on, half vegetarian/half meat. my baby's so good.

we had a really good time during lunch. chit-chatting, telling stories, re-living camping memories. it was sad to see her go but i'll be seeing her again in october. =) have safe travels FAR, sharky.

sunday evening - HM wanted to finish the garage. i am happy to announce: WE NO LONGER LOOK LIKE WHITE TRASH REDNECKS! we have both classic cars in the garage and the boat on the side of the house, behind the gate. YAY!! i told you he was good.

we finished off the evening with dinner and a movie. oh, and a scare at 10:00pm when the doorbell rang and when i looked out, henry-dog was sitting on the front porch. mind you, the first thing that went through my head was, "how the hell did henry ring the doorbell?". HEY... it was late and i was tired! anyway, it was our neighbors telling us the boys got out... someone left the side gate open.

our neighbors, as annoying as the woman is, are soooo good to us. as soon as they saw them outside, they came to the door to tell us and then started walking around helping us look for them. they had gone farther than they have in the past. they're getting brave and that's getting pretty scary.

until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.

p.s. safe travels FAR my friend. see you NEAR in october!
