not necessarily as productive as I wanted it to be (garlands? untouched), it was a great weekend nonetheless. Heres the breakdown:
-had a wonderful birthday full of grilling, my signature potato salad, tons of diet cokes and frescas, red velvet cake and an ice cream sundae bar. What can I do with a tub of caramel and no ice cream left? other than pour it directly into my mouth?
- do you remember when I posted about the lemon tree and the suitcases? Well my family reads my blog for sure. I got a lemon tree and both my mom and mom-in-law got me suitcases (now I get why when I went suitcase shopping with my sis she said everything was "stupid" and "ugly"). One set may be returned for store credit aka new shoes (I think I have to wear something nicer than foam flip flops to the upcoming weddings we are attending). Also received amazing salad tongs! (trust me if you saw them, you would agree!)
- received several RSVPs ( a bunch of no's which is sad but I totally understand, especially since they are out of state)....only 41 left ( if you are reading this and haven't RSVP'd...please! let me know either way! I won't be mad! I just need to know!)
-sent an official evite for bachlorette....bought solo cups and stickers and faux diamonds for deluxe solo cups ala A Los Angeles Love
- met with the photographer to discuss "must have" photos...she is awesome, I am so pumped...She is also getting married soon and Ry is her officiant (end of the month!)
-had another cookout to get rid of some of our colossal leftovers with the best man and best lady
-did some more work on out of town gift bags...also bought matchbooks for favors
- built trellis' for my out of control cuke plants ( I am growing both pickling cucumbers and lemon cucumbers which are round and yellow... I also bought a backyard homesteader book! Oh man if we only had no neighbors and a little more land, I would so be raising livestock!)
-did I mention our new neighborhood has their own 4th of july parade? I got lots of starbursts!
phew...I think thats it
so...how was your weekend?
not as productive as yours!
ReplyDeletebut this is like mad crazy productive, so i don't feel so bad...

ReplyDeleteI must say, the only option for the caramel seems to be to pour it directly into your mouth. Although a lady would use a spoon ;) Hehe
that sounds like an awesome (and insanely productive) weekend!
ReplyDeletethanks everyone! I guess I did alot (just never the stuff on your lists, right? ha ha)
ReplyDeleteangie- I'll let you know hwo the pickling goes. I also want to pickle the white radishes I'm growing too

What a great way to discover that your family reads your blog! Sounds like you had a very busy and productive birthday.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your finished OOT bags.
That sounds like an EXCELLENT weekend! Hope you had a happy birthday and you better not let the caramel go to waste...directly into your mouth it goes...
ReplyDeleteSo sweet that your fam reads your blog!! I signed my mom up and she unsubscribed :( [sad day]
Don't worry about the garlands, you are movin along!

ReplyDeletesarah- hopefully they will be done this week!
lizzie- aw! that wasn't very nice of your mom. I would share my caramel if you were closer (I can't imagine it travels well!)
