College football officially began this weekend. Friday night M and I sat around the house and watched TV. I tried to subject him to Say Yes to the Dress, his fave of course. As soon as I turned the channel he bolted for upstairs. After finishing one episode I told him to come back down and I’d watch something else. We were going to watch a movie but the On Demand with Direct TV is a bit different and so the movie we were going to watch didn’t come on again until midnight. Oh well.
Saturday morning I actually woke up pretty early. I guess I was excited. After lunch we headed to the stadium to begin our first tailgate of the season. Our usual crowd was smaller then normal but we still managed to have a good time. M and I watched the first half of the game and then headed home at half time. M, like all the other NC State fans, was curious to watch the UNC v LSU game. I must say I was less then impressed with either team really. And while I normally don’t pull for LSU I found myself wishing they’d done better.
Auburn played Arkansas State so the game wasn’t on TV but M managed to find it on one of the ESPN Internet channels. By this time I was pretty exhausted so I waited for Auburn to score one more time and then I hit the hay.
Sunday I met the girls at the mall for some shopping. But really we all needed something to do while the guys did their fantasy football draft. I did find a hair flower for my veil and I also found a cute hoodie and shorts for my ‘day of” outfit. All I need to do is add the rhinestones that say K & M 5.13.11. I figure this will be better then putting something really large or anything that says “bride”. I just didn’t want to send that much money on something I could really only wear one day.
Yesterday may have been the busiest day all weekend though. Mom came down yesterday morning to FINALLY drop off the dresser. Then we headed out to do a little shopping. I really needed a pair of shoes for upcoming weddings to match the dress I bought but had no luck. I did find M something for his birthday. It’s not really the gift gift but it is something. I am still on the hunt for his real gift. Once I got home I took a nap. Then I decided the dresser needed to be touched up so I ended up throwing another coat of paint on the whole thing. Around 10pm we went downstairs to move it back inside. Since it was pretty much dry we decided to just go ahead and move it upstairs. We got the TV on it and all the stuff moved. Now the bedroom looks nicer. We still need bedside tables and I guess I will paint the bed frame. The plan is to use this furniture until we get pregnant and then we will use it for the baby. That way we will only need to buy a crib.
Ughh, I just looked down at how much I’ve written. Oops. I didn’t realize I had this much to say. And back to work. 🙂
