Well, the DW & Sandra show was awesome last night. If you're a friend of mine on MySpace, you can see some pics. If not, too bad. ;) I might have to do a picture post here soon anyway. Our weekend otherwise was pretty good, I guess. Friday night was interesting - I'll give you details in person if you want them. Saturday was a pretty lazy day (which is what Paul and I both needed). We hung out with friends Sat. night and got some New Chinatown (soooo good - right, Rachel?) Sunday was a bit of a sad day, and once again, if you want details, I'll tell you in person. DW always has a way of making me feel better, though! And we got to hang out with our "concert buddy" Erik. (We told him that we're going to have to hang out next time without going to a show...)

We're hoping to have the hardwood floors done this weekend. Paul (my awesome yet procrastination extraordinare hubby) has still not talked with our neighbor - the one we're paying to refinish the floors. Like I told him yesterday - I understand the man doesn't have a full time job (or part time, for that matter), but that doesn't mean we should only be giving him a few days notice. And look - we're only giving him a few days notice (and that's if Paul talks to him today or tomorrow). Sigh...we'll see what happens. This is really the best weekend for us, so let's pray it's a good weekend for Dave. (Please, Jesus?)

I can't even tell you how excited I am about girl's night. This week is going to be a long one (doesn't it suck when you can already tell - and it's only Monday???) so I can't wait to have some good girl time. And I have no doubt that the Casa de Benz will be a fine establishment to stay in that night! I'm just really thankful for good friends - people who are real with me, and I can be real with them. People who love Jesus and push me to love Him more. People who let me vent about stupid stuff, and don't have to say anything in return because they know I'm only venting. I don't have a ton of these people in my life, but if you're one of them (and you know who you are) just know I'm super thankful for you.

And I'm still freaking out about this stupid bridesmaid's dress - anyone know a great way to lose two dress sizes in three weeks? I'm willing to do anything short of starving myself. I'm doing WW, and that's helping, but it's not going fast enough (for right now - typically, this pace of weight loss would be totally acceptable). I don't want to do anything stupid or rash, but if you know of a specific diet (like, giving up or eating specific things) that has WORKED, please let me know! Thanks!

All I've got is cutting out the Dr. Pepper... but since your poison of choice is Diet Coke, giving it up is Just Not the Same Thing.

And, again, for the second time today, I heart you.

So New Chinatown is completely awesome and I love it. Also, I don't know how to lose 2 dress sizes in 3 weeks either, or I would totally be doing it. Although when I was younger I went on Prozac (is this an overshare???) for my anxiety/depression and I lost a bunch of weight. I don't think they give that stuff out for that though, do you?

Yeah, I don't think so Rach. Also, those things effect everyone differently - one of the antidepressants I took made me gain weight, even though a friend was on the same one at the time and she lost weight. Not cool.

Lynn, have you seen the new Glarkware shirts? I don't know if you're on the mailing list, but if you are, you get discount codes. I think I am finally going to buy the grammar shirt. And maybe the hyperbole one...
