Weekend Review!

It was a mixed weekend for us:

The good:

• My brother came to visit and arrived Friday night. Fun! He's interviewing for a job this week and we may have found him a potential apartment if things go well. The job would be a transfer with his existing company.
  
• We made awesome flank steak Friday. And I do mean awesome. It was insanely good. 
• We sold our old sofa for 25% of what I paid 10 YEARS AGO! Woo-woo!
• We had our friend Essie over for dinner Saturday night.
• Our new mattress arrived Saturday morning. 
• We cleaned the apartment and it looks really nice. 

The bad:

• The crib we want from Ikea is backordered for another 6-7 weeks (or so they say). Yikes.
  
• Ikea was also out of the bedding we agreed on and didn't have any throw pillows or rugs we liked.
• I failed my gestational diabetes test and had to go today for a three-hour additional test. I should find out the results Monday. Google gestational diabetes if you want to know what a positive result might mean or click here. Again, yikes. 
• We had to reset our Tivo. Devastating. 
• We had to say goodbye to our friend Essie, who's moving to Oslo. Bye Essie. We will truly miss you. 
• He-man the cat moved out. Nuff said. 

The ugly:

• My brother, Pete and I all felt sick after Saturday night's dinner of burgers. We suspect the meat or the grill was the culprit. I still feel sick, frankly. But it could be that horrid super sugary drink I drank for the test today. 
  
• Pete is not a fan of the new mattress; we had another one delivered last weekend, and it was horribly uncomfortable for me. After two trips and about 2 hours in the mattress store, we finally thought we had compromised and got the right one. 
  
• After saying goodbye to He-Man, I broke out in hives all over my face. Dang. 

That's the update people.
