this weekend

this weekend is going to be awesome. tonight y and i are going out with our friends to bottega louie. i know i can't drink but it's nice to be with people who are melting the crappy week away with a glass of red. i can totally empathize and it calms me down too. bl has my favorite non-alcoholic beverage: san pellegrino aranciata. it will be three couples including y and i which is a nice group. we haven't all gotten together for dinner in a while. i hope the service is good tonight, we've been raving about it for a week to our friends.

on saturday my girlfriends at the gym are throwing me a shower. my FIRST EVER BABY SHOWER. the next rite of passage after getting married. i'm so excited to just hang out with everyone. i am so touched that they have all gone to the trouble to celebrate my pregnancy. the plan is to take tons of photos so i can post something interesting on monday.

i'm becoming friends with a new girl at the gym, kim. she is taking the scary bootcamp class i took last year. i asked her what she is doing this weekend and she told me her friends are throwing her a bridal shower and bachellorette party!! both of us are having these amazing celebrations honoring huge changes in our lives.

saturday night i'm going to kelly's for a sleepover. not like a huge slumber party where i'd bring my star wars sleeping bag. just kelly, her roomie and i. we haven't spent much time together so this will be a nice catch up. on sunday we're going to monrovia to visit our friend laura. whew!

it's so nice to not have to paint or clean or take junk to st. vincent's. btw, i'll post pics of baby cove soon. i've been procrastinating because i want to do a whole "before and after" thing and that's a lot of picture posting for after work when i'm busy being lazy on the sofa.
