   The bath sounds lovely, even if the reason it was required sucked. Also, I’m impressed with your baking skills.

   Wow…that’s a pretty action-filled weekend. Glad you were able to enjoy some of it with a nice bath and wine!

   You didn’t get your hair colored? Your red is still so bright. Mine washed out so quickly. Haircut is adorable.
   I’ve wanted to try Monsoon… glad you liked it.

   mmm.. carrot raisin muffins. Sounds delicious.

   That is going to be so nice to have your mom close to you again, aching muscles and all.

   That picture was screaming at me in Google Reader. I flipped over to your blog and enlarged that picture. And as I was getting giddy with excitement, I reminded myself the likelihood was low. Very low. But, I was still momentarily excited. And I’m still excited now, knowing the full truth, that you had such a (mostly) great weekend. You and the Fella look really really happy. Yay!

   Way to try and play with our tender emotions ;-)

   I’m so happy to hear about your Mom! Yay! And um, why don’t you just make the Fella give you a good long massage?

   You have to stop trying to fool me with these things! I get all excited and then it is a big let down!

   Sounds like a great weekend for the most part. People who are so passive aggressive (like with the white board) bug me. Is there no way for people to just communicate these days? Could they not have just mentioned it to you or taken care of it themselves?

   You always have cute hair, even combed over. Which I, too, am rocking until Friday. :)
   Glad your mom is there and getting settled.

   The muffins sound delish.

   I am living with my mom right now until I can get back into my own apartment so I totally feel you there.

   I haven’t had Indian food in the longest. Jealous!

    I adore your blog! I just found you through Brandy. I had to go back and read some of your older stuff…I love love love the kiss post.

    It sounds like you had a great weekend!

    Do you even KNOW how to sit still for 5 minutes without moving an entire muscle?

    I doubt it.

    I’m glad you’re mom is finally there. It was looking for a while like she might not move there. I’m assuming she sold the house?

    Happiest of Anniversaries. This is just the beginning … may you have many, many more!

    Sounds like you had a good weekend.

    It sounds like you wrote this with a rested but meaninful smile!

    and did you spend lots of time drooling over Lee Pace in that movie? Lord knows I did. That’s why he made my weekly Top 5.

    You were definitely a whole lot more productive than me this long weekend! I know, I’m lazy. Now can I have one those lovely carrot raisin muffins?

    I’m glad that your mom is close by now.
    Jealous that you ate some fab Indian food.
    Pissed that you TRIED to fool me about an engagement.

    you tricked me again with the ring. I did a triple take…like…dude, is that a ring? no, but they look like it is a ring, a happy ring. Spike would never help me with these sorts of pranks…he would be sweating bullets in the background.

    I also helped my Mom move this weekend…I should try an Epsom salt bath!

    um, raisin carrot muffins with cream cheese icing sounds divine…

    oh, and congrats on the one year anniversary!!! I was so distracted by the photo fakeout I forgot to say hooray for one year. Forgive me :P

    Well… I’ve been totally hoodwinked. Amidst the snippets of posts that google reader shows when you first open it was that little thumbnail shot of you and the fella. I hightailed it to your post only to discover some displaced April fool’s hijinks. Sigh. (Perhaps this is a good hit count building strategy though. I’ll have to file this away for later use. ;)

    In the meantime, I’ll forgive you because you liked Miss Pettigrew too. I thought that movie was a real kick.

    Ha, I am oblivious to the faux-engagement, just thought, aw they went out to dinner and look cute together.

    Oh my. I watched “Miss Pettigrew” this weekend as well. So cute. I also enjoyed “Penelope.” You should check it out if you haven’t seen it.

    RE: the filthy front steps…why don’t people take the initiative and just clean them? Or at least say, hey the dirty steps are bothering me, want some help cleaning them?

    I just watched that movie too and loved it.
    Glad your mom is finally there with you :-).

    Ooh! That’s on my Netflix! Perhaps I’ll move it to the top of my list!

    At least you got one person to show up at your training. If I had one, I’d consider it highly successful. Alas…

    What a great time! You ARE so domestic ;o)
    Preparing for being a housewife? Ha!
    You guys crack me up with your practical jokes! One day you really will move in together or get engaged and none of us will believe a word of it! ;o)
    (Well, maybe we will..)

    When did you meet KRIS? *gnashing teeth with jealousy*

    Ha, glad to see I wasn’t the only one to polish off a decent amount of wine this weekend. Yum.

    sounds like a fun weekend… I really want to meet someone from the blog world, too! I’m going to get one that.

    I had lots of wine as well. Made up for all of the labour. :)

    Sounds lovely, carrot cake muffins, a really clever idea actually. I only think of carrot cake for some reason. And the film – I was going to miss that, but think I might check it out!

    Congrats on your mom moving here, for you’ve been looking forward to it for a while now :) I envy that you have a tub that can support a bath. If I sit in mine, the water comes up to my belly button (and cold boobs are not comfy!).

    I was once the only person in an aerobics class. It was awkward. You made the right call with the training.

    Oooo that sounds like such a wonderful holiday weekend! Oooo! I love your hair! you guys are so cute! One year … time flies by fast, doesn’t it?!

    Mmm, Indian food! I love Indian food!!!

    I’m glad your Mom made it to WA. I heard a bit about the move on Twitter and am glad it’s over. Hopefully she has some time to get unpacked and settled and the drama dies down quickly. Family drama is exhausting for everyone involved.

    My jaw fell open when I saw that picture! You sneaky little domestic goddess, you…

    Shew, at least you somehow remembered to breath in between that lot … so you really are a ‘can-do-gal’. Hope you enjoying having your Mom close by and congrats to you and the Fella – one whole year, it’s awesome!

    I’ll have to read the whole entry later. I can’t believe Kris was in town last week. I swear tons of bloggers were in Seattle last week and I didn’t meet a one of them. Dagnabit. Be back in bit…

    Sounds like your weekend was way more interesting than mine. I “lounged” in my bed the whole time. and not in a good way.

    Comment by gorillabuns — September 3, 2008 #

    Sounds like a pretty busy yet good laboring weekend :)

    And YAY for family close by! YAY for moms! (BOO for the actually having to move things part, but now that it’s done – YAY!!!)

    Happy Belated Labor Day and thanks for playing wordscraper with me :) Please tell me what you liked about “Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day.” After not even 10 minutes of viewing it, I had to shut it off out of complete boredom. The previews looked amazing… I wanna believe you that it was a good as you said it was!!!
