WOW

It has been a CRAZY couple of days.

Friday night was book club, and thank God for those women. :) I had a blast and, as usual, the girl-time was definitely needed. I then went to Applebees for one more beverage (that I, at this point, didn't really need) and some time with the gang. We went home, ate the Terriaki boneless wings that we had ordered to-go, watched the DVRed shows from Thursday (LOVED last week's episode of The Office), and then passed out.

Leroy ruined my plans to sleep in on Saturday morning. He's being terrible right now, and I'm not sure if he'll survive much longer if he doesn't outgrow his awful-puppy-ness soon. I managed to get his mess cleaned up, get myself showered and looking presentable, and head off to Ainsley's bridal shower. It was really nice and I had a good time chatting with the ladies. I returned home to find that Leroy had made yet another huge mess (picture a shredded bath mat and a mess that required almost an entire bottle of Resolve carpet cleaner) and Chase had banished him to the garage for the rest of the day. We then cleaned the house from top to bottom and washed the cars. After quick showers, we headed out for a day-date that included a late lunch at Chens and a matinee movie. After another night out with the gang, a late night trip to Walmart for groceries, and the most expensive impulse-purchase I've ever made...we're at home unloading groceries and setting up our Netflix account on our brand-new Wii. I finally hit the hay in the wee hours of the morning...

Sunday was a day-long family fest. Chase's brother Mark, sister-in-law Amanda, and niece Taylor are in town, so we spent the entire day (from 11:00 to 10:00) out at his parents' house grilling, playing games, feeding birds, and basically running around EVERYWHERE before finishing off the night with Hello Kitty cupcakes (Taylor's favorite part of the day) and a very competitive MarioKart tournament of which Heather and I were the victors.

Needless to say, my weekend was far from relaxing...but was most certainly entertaining.
