It's getting busy...

It seems like every day I am getting busier and busier and I don't see any signs of it slowing down, yikes!  This weekend, I was supposed to get a ton of quilting done but it didn't work out quite like I hoped.  Ryan was supposed to take the dog to the vet to get a vaccine so that we could drop her off at the boarding place on Friday morning but as usual, he didn't do what he said.  We take Willow to Banfield at Petsmart and their website said they open at 8am.  I had a 10am haircut so I was hoping to make it back in time but when I got to Banfield, they said that while they open at 8am, it's only for drop offs - the nurses and doctor don't get there until 9am. So I drove back towards the house.  I stopped at JoAnn's hoping to get some fabric I needed but they didn't open until 9am either.  So I stopped by Toys R Us to get a birthday present for our nephew but they didn't open until 10am.  I finally gave up and went home to eat some breakfast.  About half an hour after I got home, the vet called to say Willow was ready for pickup so I headed back over there.  I picked her up and drove her to Pet Paradise for boarding.

On the way home, I stopped by to check on our rental home (looks fine) and then I had about 20mins at home before Ryan called to ask if I wanted to go to lunch.  I went out to lunch with them and got home with about half an hour before my rescheduled haircut appointment so all I managed to get done was paint my toenails and file my fingernails.  Then a haircut and by the time I got hone all I had time to do was a little bit of laundry and straightening up before Ryan got home and we had to pack/leave for Orlando.  So...I basically got nothing done - I was NOT happy.  I have a ton of quilting to do, I wanted to mail the invitations our on 8/7 but they're not even close to done, I was hoping to choose/book our honeymoon but we've made no progress, etc. etc.

But we went to Orlando and had a nice dinner with Ryan's parents and siblings and then played some Mexican Train Dominoes at the hotel.  Saturday we went to Legoland for our nephew Ethan's 6th birthday and it was exhausting!  I thought we were all about to get overheated until we went to the waterpark area to cool down. The park is pretty neat but it's definitely geared towards the 5 - 9 age group.

We didn't get home from Legoland until midnight so we slept in today.  I've been trying to work on some quilting but all I got done was to iron on a few applique pieces, finalize the design for Emmy's quilt and start cutting it.  Unfortunately I also cut through the skin between my thumb and index finger...ouch!  By the end of this week, I'm hoping to finish Danielle's quilt, interface Emmy's quilt and get an agreed upon layout for Victoria's quilt.  I also have an Alpha Phi meeting and I have GOT to squeeze in some time for invitations and wedding stuff - no TV for me this week, lol!
Ok sorry for a long text with no pics or anything cool but I need to head to bed and get ready for another work week.  Hope everyone had a good weekend!
