weekends...

...are usually spent planning a wedding and/or going to bars. this weekend i did neither, so i thought it was worth writing about.

thursday: as part of my pre-wedding-beauty-regimen-experimentation, i got microderm abrasion and a chemical peel. the chemical part hurt like HELL. she informed me halfway through the procedure that i'm going to peel for the next TWO WEEKS! like i have a bad sunburn, except that i paid $89 to get it. i better look super hot.

friday: see previous blog

saturday: i took joe to breakfast in the middle of his 14-hour shift (he had to get his hours in before we leave for vegas on wednesday). went shopping by myself. it's the only way i like to do it. i got two new "moisture wicking" tanktops from old navy for bike rides. i walked around barnes and noble (my favorite store) for an hour. thank god for my kindle or i'd have spent $100 there. i rode my bike 10 miles downtown (while wearing a new tanktop of course) to check out the first annual "craft lake city." it was awesome! i met up with my friend from work sue and her cute daughter. we were there to support our old friend amber and her purse line, mode. her purses rock! they clip on your wrist or belt loop -- perfect for riding or just not having to deal with a god damn purse all the time. i've been using it all weekend and i think it's the best purchase i've made in a while. there was tons of other cool stuff there but i PURPOSEFULLY took my bike so i couldn't buy any of it. i saw kristen and jaxon on my way home. random!! the 10 miles home was much harder than the 1o miles there....got home and crashed. joe and i watched the davinci code. the last 10 minutes got cut off by the tivo so we had to drive 5 miles to find a copy at redbox. lame.

sunday: i made a yummy breakfast. i'm a good cook when i want to be. i watched "the curious case of benjamin button." it was kinda boring. we went to a bees game. we took joe's bike. i love the bike, but he says it's "not comfortable" with me on the back. guess we need a cruiser bike. i swear i love baseball, but you'd never guess it by sitting through a bees game with me. i just sit and drink and dink around on the crackberry. beer was $6.75!! now i remember why we only go on thirsty thursdays. too bad there are no more this season. we took care of some in-law drama, i.e. putting together 40 new invites since they gave me their list too late. we went to dinner at applebees. now i'm sitting here wasting a few hours, trying not to watch "miss march" while joe is laughing his ass off about it.

days off

days off are great. wasn't all the way "off" though. talked with an attorney for 10 minutes about a case. mom probably won't get her kids back. she lets dad choke her. i guess hitting and pushing are okay, but choking is not. she'll probably die. and she fakes surgeries to get pills. six year old cried because foster mom was sick and he thought he wouldn't get dinner. three year old likes to punch other kids in the face with a closed fist. good thing it was only a 10 minute call. that's about all i can take sometimes.

the day got better. went for a bike ride with my sister. had 40 minutes of drama trying to fit my bike in the trunk. tried the bike rack but gave up on that, too. finally rode to meet her instead. was awesome until we ran out of trail and then she got a flat tire. thank god we were close to joe's office. thank god he took his truck to work. don't think our 2 bikes would have fit on his motorcycle.

got my oil changed. my last one was 5892 miles ago. whoops. also need new tires, new battery, coolant flush, air filter, and transmission service. maybe i'll stick with the bike.

finally got a wedding list from my future in-laws. they invited their attorney, accountant, realtor, and loan processor. retarded. they better bring good gifts. they better not expect dom. joe wants dom. i'm going to veto that until my last breath. i'd rather spend the weekend in st. george.

went to a sex toy party. third one this year. not obsessed, just supporting joe's cousin. people are funny. girl next to me would not try anything. not even edible glitter. get over yourself. another girl thought i was 32. obviously the $89 chemical peel was a waste. that bitch better watch her back.

went to a movie with my girlfriend from college and her friends. girls night was good. wish we could have talked more. movie was cute. 500 days of summer. sundance movie. hot girl. hot boy. "not a love story." go see it.

don't know why i'm writing like this. read a blog written like this a few days ago. style must have stuck in my head. don't even like the girl who writes that blog.
