Weekend Review Part Deux

Since you already know what an exciting night Friday night was from my previous post, I will start this post with Saturday.

Saturday Mr. Pickle and I slept in, got breakfast and ran some errands. I got ready to head to a friend's birthday party while the Starvin' Marvin crew prepared for another weekend of practice cooks. My sister and I attended a 30th birthday for our friend's hubby. We had a good time hanging out and eating a TON of food and even played a few games. My sis and I were going to go to a local country bar, but a $20 cover was a little out our price range for the night (my sis is already saving for the wedding!!).

The boys enjoying their setup

Sunday morning the boys were already up and working on the grill. My sister had a photo shoot for one of my friends in Sacramento so I opted to join her. First we hit up our favorite sushi place in Downtown Sacramento with some of my old sorority sister's and then we went over to my friend's/sorority sister's house to take pictures of her AHHHH-DORABLE daughter. We headed back home just in time to enjoy some leftover BBQ and then our friend who is visiting from Australia talked Mr. Pickle and I into going to the bar with him. Needless to say, I was pretty tired on Monday morning!

Yummy Ribs

Happy Monday

I am so excited to be able to announce that my sister got ENGAGED on Friday!!!

I was let in on the secret of the proposal last Wednesday and had to act normal and keep my mouth shut until Friday night. Being that I talk to my sis at least once a day and actually saw her on Wednesday and Thursday night, this was no easy task.

All day Friday I couldn't sit still and was nervous. Why was I nervous?? I can't imagine how her boyfriend felt!!

I am so excited and can't wait to start planning...well actually, we already have!

You can read my sister's post about it here and below are TONS of pictures from the little shindig we had after they got engaged.

(Her boyfriend arranged for all of her closest friends to surprise her at a wine bar after the proposal so she could confirm she said yes, share the story of how it actually went down, show off the bling and celebrate with a few adult beverages. Needless to say, she was surprised the whole night and is very happy with how everything turned out.)

Jealous MUCH!

I know it's not good to be jealous of other people, but the fact that I am sitting here at work while my mom is on her way to Hawaii (Maui) for a week makes me EXTREMELY jealous. Took this on pic on Big Beach the last time I was there, OVER A YEAR AGO!

Happy Friday all. I have a fun, busy weekend planned :)

Wordless Wednesday

This is how I feel today!

Weekend Review

This past weekend was spent at Clear Lake for my friend's bachelorette party!! She requested a small, low-key weekend without any adult entertainment, but she didn't say anything about fun shaped straws :)

Friday after work we made the two and a half hour drive to Clear Lake. I assumed we would just hang out in the room Friday night, but we ended up going to one of the Indian Casinos in the area. I don't gamble, so me and the bride to be hung out at the bar most of the night while the other two pressed their luck at the tables and slot machines. One of the ladies won some money and the other one lost some money. (Hence why I don't gamble...I'd rather just go shopping.)

Saturday morning we lounged around for a bit and then went to get manis & pedis. The nail shop we were in was great. We had the whole place to ourselves and we were able to hang out and watch videos recapping Michael Jackson's life & one of Janet Jackson's concerts in Hawaii. They literally had a ton of VHS tapes to choose from, so funny.

We got back to the room and made dinner and got ready to go back to the casinos to gamble and get our groove on at the bar/club.

Although the bride to be said she wasn't going to get all decked out in bachelorette gear, we left her with little choice. She was a good sport and enjoyed the extra attention and free drinks.

Sunday morning we got up a little later than planned and had a little trouble getting moving!! I definitely can't hang like I used to...going out two nights in a row wore me out. We got home later in the afternoon and all I wanted to do was go straight to bed. Unfortunately laundry needed to be done and I was starving and we didn't feel like cooking/cleaning so Mr. Pickle and I went out to dinner.

Confessional Friday

I am joining Aly and confessing a few things to the interwebs today. I confess .... that my dinner last night consisted of some funfetti cake and Cheez-Its. I confess ... that while I was putting out the garbage cans last night, I cut a lizards tail off and I felt kinda bad. I confess ... that sometimes I don't mind a night or two without the hubs because I get to rule the remote and enjoy some peace and quiet. I confess ... that I only wash my hair 4 times a week, regardless if I work out or not. I confess ... that I wouldn't dream about going out on the town with my hair in a pony tail and without any make-up on, but that's how I roll to work every day. (Good thing I only work with 2 other people that could care less.) I confess ... that I am officially a sugaraholic and need to detox after the weekend getaway with the girls for a bachelorette party.

Wordless Wednesday

I need a vacation.

PS. This was taken at Makena Beach on Maui (right about where Mr. Pickle and I got married)

Okay, so this isn't really a wordless post. Whatev.
