Today is day two of house sitting for my mom. After I walk her dog (which will be soon), I'll head over to my house & catch up on some housework over there. MH & I might do a costco run since it's kinda wet & slightly rainy (Your reason for a wife is completely justified!!)
agpjt413 good luck if you do a Costco run!! The one by me is always a madhouse on the weekends!! I like to get aggressive with the giant cart, but then DH takes over lol.
Today I'm going bridesmaids dress shopping with my little sister (heaven help me). I'm the oldest one in the bridal party and all of the other girls are pretty and really thin (I'm average build). So we'll see how things go. Looking forward to brunch after and treating myself to a bloody mary, which I'm sure I'll need at that point

LOL!!! This is why I refuse, just refuse to do a Costco run solo on the weekends! It's gotta be a tag-team effort...especially when the coupon book expires, but luckily that's the 25th and not this weekend!!
agpjt413 and dandb925, thanks! Her colors are champagne, plum, and gold. She wants the bridesmaids dresses to be plum and long. Hopefully we'll be able to find something flattering.

Hey ladies! I arrived in the UK a few hours ago. I'm exhausted but trying to stay up so I can get used to the time change. Heading over to oxford circus for some shopping. Xoxo
Today is laundry day in my house. I did towels the other day, but there's 3 more loads to finish. Blerrrrrg. Then I may have to go out to find something to wear for my grandpas funeral. Then I plan to lay on the couch all evening and watch a movie ALONE!

I got into a fight with an old woman once. Lines were madness, there was no where to go but when a break opened, I went for it and that was all she needed to see. I was fuming...DH kept blocking and shhing me - he was like it's a no win situation, knock it off. Her husband was with her too and looked just as embarrassed as DH did. In the end, we finished first and I was happy. Not one of my finer moments lol...
I'm trying to get lazy ass out of bed go work out so I can get to Costco before the mad rush of people. Omg, when they have the free food samples out it's like these people have never eaten before! And the stand in the middle of the aisle blocking everyone. Grrr

rslh10, how are you doing? I like your plans for tonight.
•••• I'm better. I'm still sad. I felt super bummed last night, and decided wine and a pint of ice cream were going to be dinner. WinoRALPH(thanks chat ladies) was in full force last night.
Errands and laundry for me. Do any of you have tomorrow off?
I have tomorrow off! Woo-hoo! But after I work out, I'll be busy because it's one of my only "alone" days to work on executing my H's big birthday surprise(s). I did something stupid, guise. Next month is his 35th b-day, and I decided to do something epic and give him a 35 day "countdown" to his birthday, where he gets a gift every day for 35 days. Obviously most are smallish, and I'm DIYing some of them - but they all revolve around a central theme. So tomorrow will be a craft day for sure. Let's just say this has taken massive planning and still requires a whole lot of execution!
As for today...we're planning on being super lazy. The house is clean & all the the laundry is done because we had a house guest come in on Friday. I'm also getting over a stomach bug, so I'm not in the mood to do much. We should go to costco, but I can't deal with it today!

DH has a friend coming over to work on some guy crap. They're both mechanical engineers, so I usually feel like they're speaking a different language. ANYWAYS, I'm making enchiladas for lunch then we're going bowling. Happy Sunday everyone!

Sorry, tagging is tough on here because I can't scroll back up, so it's just talking points:
Costco is a zoo. We actually went last night and I reached my quota and won't go back for awhile! Tag teaming is the way to go. That and the strategy we've found is that we stay to the outside aisles. On the outside you can get to where you need to go fast! The middle is pure chaos especially when people block the whole path to get one damn meatball!!
I wish I had a wife to clean too. That sounds great! Every time I've hired a cleaning crew, I think, so worth it. But then my cheap skate creeps in.
35 days of presents is crazy ambitious! I don't have enough creative juice to do that!! Good luck!!
We are going to the beach today with the dog and I'm debating calling to see if I can squeeze a massage in. I have a membership to a place so I get one/month at a discounted rate....I have 5 in the queue. I'm just terrible at scheduling time for myself.

yorkielove83, I know how you feel. DH is a software engineer, so when he is with other friends who do the same thing, I have no earthly idea what they're talking about. Enchiladas sound yummy, though!

I'm gearing up to work out so I can shower and get ready. We're headed to a coworker/friend of DH's for the NFC Championship game (Go Pack Go!!!!!). When we get home, it's time to put Christmas away. Sigh.
