Some tidbits and our weekend

Two weeks from tomorrow, I will be 25!  25, I just cannot believe it.  Seems like yesterday I turned 21 and now I'm at my mid-twenty's.  Holy crap, mid-twenty's, I cannot believe it.  It's not that it scares me, it's more of a shock.  I'm not scared at growing older at all, in fact, I welcome it, because it means that more adventures are around the concern.  I just cannot believe I'll be 25, it's a pretty big day, but it happens to be a Tuesday, so we will not be celebrating big ya'll, sorry...  Truth be told my own mother thought I was going to be 24, so it was just as shocking to her!

In other news, I've got a full week planned because hubby will be busy doing work things, so I'm trying to keep busy!  I've got volleyball, a hair cut & color, class, margs with two of my good friends, Greys with the girls, a Friday night with a massage, and then drinks and a basketball game (more to come on that) with friends and then a weekend with my mom!  Should be a fun-filled week and hopefully it goes by quickly!

So, the basketball game.  Well, I'm not a huge basketball game, but when the team who resides in your city actually beat crushes the #1seaded team, you have to watch the next game.  Yes, my lovely UNI Panthers upset #1 ranked Kansas 69-67!  Nobody could believe it.  If you put Kansas as the winner of your bracket, I'm o so sorry not.  So, we'll be cheering them on this Friday, because this is further than anyone thought possible! 

Onto this weekend:

Friday:

I went over to my friend Jill's house and had dinner with her and her two little boys, Weston & Will.  We enjoyed a great dinner complete with ice cream!  We had a blast playing in the basement and I cannot believe how much they are both growing!  

Afterwords, I came home to watch a movie with hubby!  We watched The Spiderwick Chronicles, It was pretty good, I think I'd give it a B.

Saturday:

My uncle got married, so we headed to his hometown to watch him and his sweet new wife exchange vows and then enjoyed a delicious luncheon.  

That night we had PB&J's for dinner (yes, we're classy like that) and watched another movie.  We watched The Kingdom, I'd say a B+.

Sunday:

This was our day to spend together, given Hubby will be busy all week with work.  We decided to head to Panera for their delicious breakfast sandwiches and then to the Antiques and Collectibles show that was going on in our city.  We walked around for about 2 hours.  Everything was way over priced, we just couldn't believe it!  We did however; find one steal!  After I finish taking pictures, I'll reveal it tomorrow, but you can start being jealous today! It's amazing!

We made homemade pizza and two more movies... Yes, we watch a lot of movies!  We watched:  The Princess and the Frog a B+ and Universal Soldier a C+(Hubby's choice)  Both movies were pretty good, but not my favorite.

Now we're back to Monday and I am ready to get this week over with!  Have a wonderful week and I'll be back to share what we scored at the antique show!  Here's a hit:  it's from the 1920's and it's functional!

This and That

-This weekend was spent doing TONS of homework with the exception of Friday night and Sunday afternoon.

-Friday night we had a game night where we played a game called "Celebrity" which was so much fun.  About 12 people came over, brought snacks and beer and we played for bout 4 hours!  It was such a good time.  Though, it completely screwed up my sleeping schedule because we went to bed at 2:00am!!  That's late for this elderly young, tired lady!    Sunday afternoon we headed to hubby's boss's house to watch the Canada vs. USA hockey game.  It was actually a really great game, but what a bummer for us!  His boss is from Canada, so it was pretty entertaining!

-I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel with this grad work!  I'm getting there, slowly but surly!

-Please maybe, if you have an extra moment, say a little prayer... I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps about some things and I could really use an uplifting word or two.  Don't worry, it shall pass.....

-Monday's over, I'm pretty excited about this.  I thought it.would.never.end!

-I'm updating our movie Queue, has anyone seen any super good movies lately?  This weekend we watched: City of Ember (B-), Gamer (B-), & Angels and Demons (B).   so so movies, nothing too over the top. 

-That's all for now, I'm heading to bed early in hopes of catching up on some sleep that I missed this weekend!  Hope you all had a fantastic Monday!

Babies, babies, babies.... & Random

Ladies!  You're killin me over here!  Everyone I know is either pregnant or just had a child.  I.Kid.You.Not.  It's crazy!  Everywhere I go, people are pregnant!  In real life, in blog land, on tv, I swear its everywhere!  Where is this water you all have been drinking, because I would like some of it :-)

We're hoping to join you all someday soon, because this baby fever is kicking my butt.  Maybe it will help if I stop thinking about it, but no dice.... I just can't.  So send your love and prayers our way, I know there are many other people who need it more than us right now, but if you have any extra, it would be much appreciated! 

P.S.  You all look too darn cute with your baby bumps!  I joke that hubby will have to roll me to bed because I'm going to be like a big huge round ball when I'm pregnant.  We shall see! :-)

In other news- Tomorrow's Friday and I am O So Excited!  We're having some friends over for dinner on Saturday. I'm making Taco Soup & Chicken Noodle Soup!  Maybe I'll share the recipes with you next week.  They are delish, I promise.  Other than that, we'll be laying low.

Have you seen Sherlock Holmes yet??  Would you recommend it?  Are there any other movies out in the theaters that you would suggest? I want to get out and see a movie in the theaters, buttered heart-attack popcorn & pop.  The whole works!

Sorry for the randomness that is this blog post.  I have a lot going through my mind!

Weekend Recap

This weekend was suppose to be a weekend to relax and enjoy the 3 days we had at home!  We had plans to stay home and get some cleaning done!  Well, Friday night hubby worked on some speakers with a friend and I got the night to myself.  I made the boys lasagna and then headed off to the mall where I found two pairs of cute shoes!  (I think I have a problem when it comes to shoes, but rest assure that I never buy them full price.  I got these two pair for $32.00!)

Saturday

We slept in and then decided to go for lunch.  After lunch we ran some errands and spent the entire day together.  We enjoyed some homemade Broccoli Cheese soup, made by yours truly, and Public Enemey's.  It wasn't bad, but I did fall asleep for about 30 minutes. 

Sunday

We woke up early to clean the entire house.  Hubby cooked breakfast for us and we finished our cleaning in a little over two hours.  We then got our Jetta all cleaned up so that we could take pictures and get it posted on Craigslist to sell. This was a lazy Sunday afternoon, because we went and rented two more movies!  We saw Inglorious Bastards and Cyborg Soldier.  Inglorious Bastards was quite weird and a little graphic in some parts, but Cyborg Soldier was decent, actually better than I had expected.

Monday

We both had the day off!  It was great, except for the fact that we had to wake up at the crack of dawn to go get our new vehicle.  We ended up getting a 2003 jeep liberty renegade.  It'll be mostly Hubby's vehicle, but I will drive it whenever the weather is bad and I don't want to drive our other car.  Hubby has this thing for finding vehicles that are no where near us.  We've driven up to 3 hours one way before to get a vehicle because he can't find one he likes here or one that is a good deal and in good shape.  Needless to say, we are finished car shopping for a good 3 years! :-)

What did you do this weekend??  Anything fun or exciting?  Any movies you would suggest for us?

Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend!

Friday:

We went grocery shopping and came home to watch Star Trek which wasn't all that bad.

Hubby LOVED the movie so he's not only seen it once now, but he has seen it three times! haha

Saturday:

This was psychotic SUPER cleaning day. 
No joke, we spent eternity  cleaning!  Nearly 8 hours before I sat down.
Then we had game night!  It was so much fun!  We had about 12 people in all.  I made three dishes, all of which went over quite well!  I'll have to share those with you on a different day.
We played Catchphrase, Celebrity (which was so much fun) and What's Yours Like.
After 6-7 hours of game playing, we called it a night.
I was beyond exhausted!  But it was a great night.

Sunday:
For some unknown reason, I was unable to sleep in, so we got up and ate some breakfast.  Our good friends, Tim & Hillary came from out of town to join in on Saturday's festivities and so they kept us company for a bit on Sunday morning.  I fell asleep while we were watching something on TV for about an hour!  After they left, I was able to meet up with my mom and her friend for lunch, do some shopping and head home to work on my paper that was due!  Apparently I'm quite the procrastinator and can find a million other things to do than do my homework! 

I hope you all had a great weekend and have a great short week!! :-)
