(Long) Weekend Wind-Up

Posted on the 21 May 2013 by Karaevs @KaraEvs

This past weekend was a holiday one here in BC, so that means that Monday was a day off for those who could take advantage of it! Of course, since I’m on maternity leave every day is a proverbial day off, but it doesn’t mean I can’t try to enjoy it, right? Right! Of course, the May long weekend is usually cursed with less than summery weather, and this weekend was spot on. It rained, there was windy, and a little bit of sunshine here and here.

Anyway, I didn’t get up to much for the weekend. Kyle worked Thursday-Monday, and got off work this morning, so we didn’t have any extravagant plans. Generally, we don’t anyway. With the May-Long rain curse, we avoid things like camping and such – plus, it’s the first “big” tourist weekend of the summer, and that there be cray-cray.

I suppose the biggest thing is that my bestest good friends got engaged on Saturday!! I’m not going to lie, but I was totally surprised when Callie called me and told me the good news, but I’m so excited and happy for her and Dave. Whenever someone I know gets engaged it just makes me all giddy with the memories of my own wedding and how much of an amazing day it was.

On less exciting topics, I gave my take on Silver Linings Playbook (the movie) for my friends over at We Came from the Basement, so please feel free to jump on over there and let me know what your thoughts on the movie vs. book are!

I’m also pretty sure that Isla is cutting more teeth, because after two weeks of sleeping all night and being a happy, awesome baby, she’s now back to waking up in the middle of the night in a rage, drooling, and being quiet testy. I think I almost hate teething more than Isla does. Almost.

On a lamesauce note, I really want to give some people the big ol’ “F-YOU”, but I won’t because I’m a nice person most of the time and doing that would only cause more problems.

Time to put pajamas on, crawl into bed and read a book before bed.

Blarg.
