weekendyness

This weekend started off in a very shitty weekend but ended up very cool.

Friday night, I had my first official falling out with my mother-out-law. Well, okay, "screaming match" is probably the most appropriate term. I'm still pissed, but too tired to write about that now. Besides, the rest of the weekend was too much fun to dwell on Friday.

Saturday, we went to rustymarble's baby shower. I got to see the showeree and arcadian72 for the first time in about 3 years! i also got to see lj-less sue, and meet lj-less leslie and autumnslight. the shower was fun, but the "after-party" was the funnest. (wow, I must be tired if i'm using words like that.) you guys all rock, and it will *not* be another three years before I resurface to hang out with you again! i propose a karaoke-and-food night soon.

Sunday, we finally got around to going to the local UU church. it was an outdoor service (gods, it was hot) with drumming (which was cool). The sermon topic of discussion was food and spirituality, and then the monthly potluck was afterward. i ran into someone i work with that recognized me (i still have no idea who she is), and we ran into a woman who works with mer's stepfather.

we came home and I took a quick nap before heading up to allentown to do the father's day thing. my dad is doing really well - getting around on crutches, but up and about and running errands and such. the baby's getting big (almost 9 months already!). she appears to have inherited my father's unruly hair, and she and i may end up with matching "horrid curls". (there was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead...and when she was good, she was very, very good...and when she was bad, she was horrid.) she's strong as all hell - when my dad was still using a walker, she was doing chin-ups on it. seriously. and my brother is, well, my brother. he's been doing landscaping on the side, and looks like he's spent the past 6 months in the tropics.

today has been good and bad - i finally replaced the fan in my desktop, and have my 'puter back (yay!); but i also have cramps so bad i can't quite stand up straight.

but this weekend? rawk.

ps - cluebyfourgirl, look for a post chock-full of 90's goodness soon!
