Weekend

If you purchase something after clicking on the links in this post, I’ll probably earn a few bucks from it. We aren’t talking enough for a mansion or yacht but more like chocolate and wine. And if I mention a product, I probably got a sample and possibly a cash payment. Remember that all Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings are 100% my own and may not represent your experience.

So the laborers went on strike here. What does that mean? Well, Bill works at a construction site right now. And where we live, if one union goes on strike they all do. Since Bill is management, he can cross the line. However, besides a few project managers, there's nobody at work.

Kari (my sister's) bachelorette party is this weekend. I'll have to blog how it went. Right now, I am just looking at all the receipts for the money I've spent and am ready to cry. Andy's (Kari's fiance) party is also this weekend. So we get to drive home (aff) 4 hours with hangover Sunday. I am sure looking forward to that (sarcasm).

Hey, check out my renter —> Adventures in Parenting. I didn't think it would be hard to pick out who my renter would be, but it was. However, Valerie's life sounded pretty close to mine, so I had to go with her. I'd like to thank everyone else who bid though. There were so many good choices.

Also, my article I wrote will be printed in the Daily Southtown on June 8th. I am so excited. It is a short taste testing article, but hey I am in the paper.

Well, its 11:30 pm and I have to finish packing for the weekend. I'll see everyone again on Sunday (well, maybe Monday depending on how I am feeling.)
