Check In 3/7

[bonzo2012]

How is everyone this week? DH is out of town for a conference, so I'm trying to keep busy with friends this week. I'll be walking a 5k with a couple friends on Saturday, which will be fun. I'm also on a crafting binge right now, which is pretty fun.

What are all of you up to? Any fun things last weekend? Big plans for next weekend?

toratoratori missjenniebean kaeguri get in here!

I am so glad you get to do it with friends, it'll be fun! Whatcha crafting?

We're good over here. Trying to figure out where to start with wedding planning .... Got my dress and at a stand still. We are all getting over a cold. Almost over it!!

Hope you aren't too lonely with him at a confrence!

I'm here! I'm here! Sorry I've been MIA, haven't been on TCF much recently. We're going to Disney next week, woo! 6 hour drive to Orlando, MIL is flying in too so we'll have help wrangling the squiggly baby. It's our anniversary, so I'm pretty excited. Last time I went to Epcot I was 9.

It hasn't been too lonely. I've been clearing a bunch of stuff off the DVR, which helps with the quietness of the house. And I had dinner with a couple friends on Wednesday night, which was really nice.

Ive been doing some quilting and knitting recently. I actually opened an Etsy shop too, because I've been making a lot of stuff just for fun with no intended purpose (normally I knit gifts, but I've just been making so much lately that I ran out of reasons to gift it all!) Haven't made any sales yet, but we shall see how it goes.

I forget, do you have a date set for your wedding? Wedding planning is definitely one of those things that can either be fun or a total chore. I hope it gets more fun for you as it all comes together!

Have fun at Disney! I haven't been to WDW since I was 12, and then it was only for one day. I've done DL more recently (last time I think I was 19) but it's still been a long time.

I am so bad about checking TCF! I spend almost all my social media time on Facebook. Sometimes I wish we could move this board over there, but I also understand that relative anonymity is one of the things people value about message boards like this.

missjenniebean Do we get to see a pic of the dress?? Don't leave us hanging!!

We ended up with a busier weekend planned than anticipated. We were going to paint our living room but now we have a brunch and family driving up from Portland and hubs is gaming on Sunday. Oops.

Have fun at Disney, kaeguri! I've never been a Disney person, but the State Fair is my guilty pleasure. I've finally come to understand that the way I feel about the State Fair is the way others feel about Disney. So I guess I *get it* now (Full disclosure: We bought our plane tickets and booked our hotel for the State Fair last night. I am SO excited.)

Which 5k are you doing, bonzo2012? I've been looking at walking some 5ks as well, just to get out of the house and get some exercise. The only one I ever do consistently is the Walk for the Animals, which supports our local humane society. But I am VERY interested in some of the other local ones that involve things like hot chocolate and / or alcohol.

[bonzo2012]

toratoratori, the 5k is hosted by my community association (it's something between an HOA and a city, since we're unincorporated but city-like). They host a bunch of different races from March to October. This one is sponsored by a local brewery, so free good beer after!

[toratoratori]

YASSSSSS, bonzo2012! Free beer! That's what I'm talking about!!

[bonzo2012]

Lol, exactly! Plus, I'm walking with two friends who will both be doing it with babies in strollers, so no pressure to even attempt running. I hate running with a passion, but this is more like an organized hike with beer!

[missjenniebean]

No, no date yet. We were going to go away but now that I have a pretty dress I wanna show it off.

Sounds like you are keeping busy!! An etsy shop? I've never shopped there but have heard good things about it.

I have to find the online picture . I have none bc my SO keeps trying to snoop to see it! I'll post here soon.

Have fun at Disney kaeguri!!

Have fun at the 5k!
