Re: Weekend?
::waves hand:: me me! I have a three day weekend! :-) But don't get too jealous because I'm not doing anything special.
Saturday - massages with K for V-day
Sunday - nada
Monday - nada
I'll need to run the basic household errands but really it'll be a pretty boring weekend.
me! i have a 3-day weekend.
tonight we're going to a hockey game and then to a late night show at a theatre i've done a lot of work with in the past. it should be lots of fun and i'm really looking forward to it.
tomorrow i'm not sure what we're doing, but c is working overtime overnight. i'm guessing she's probably got some sort of dinner plans but we'll see. i have a coupon for cheap bowling, so i may see if she wants to go the the lanes near our house for some afternoon fun since we'll be limited on what we can do in the evening.
sunday afternoon we have a baby shower to go to, and i'll probably spend a decent amount of time on homework. monday will be sleeping in and more homework. i'm so glad this is my last quarter!
The end of the LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE! It has just been one of those weeks. The Special Olympics World Games have been hosted in Boise and the company I work for has been doing a lot of volunteering (my boss is a co-chair for the games) so its been alot of chaos this whole week. Things have been crazy at home too as i mentioned before about the boys becoming girlcrazy all of a sudden. (Its gotten worse, two of them actually got in a fight over a girl...so it begins) So while a 3 day weekend is sounding fabulous i'm also a little worried about the kids having 4 days off from school (yep those lucky dogs got today off too) and us being stuck at home with their raging hormones. lol
Tonight is the closing ceremonies of the games which i gave up my tickets too, decided i would rather watch it from my couch. I'm just too tired.
Tomorrow i will be waking T up with breakfast in bed with a photo collage serving tray i made her for vday (see my blog thesongallalong.wordpress.com) Then we will be going out to dinner with the kids, then dropping them off at home and going out dancing with some friends.
Sunday and Monday will hopefully be time to rest and get some chores done around the house.
Married my best friend 5*15*2008 Trying to start our family 8*2011

Well, I would have made you jealous like Sam by saying that I have a whole week off - but now that I don't have a job, I have in indefinitely long weekend, haha!
Tonight we are going out for our VDay dinner. After all the insanity I've gone through lately, I cannot wait to put on a dress and have good food and a nice cocktail with my wife!
Tomorrow morning we are leaving first thing to drive to PA to see C's parents. We're staying there until Wednesday, and I'm really looking forward to the quality time with C in the car, and getting to hang out with my in-laws.
Have a nice Valentine's, everyone!

Carol had off both yesterday and Monday, but I have to work them both.
(
Tomorrow morning we have a funeral for one of Carol's co-workers, then we are both working. So no big valentines plans for us.
I am hoping Sunday we will spend working on the nursery.
~Kennedy
Me! I have Monday off! YAY!
Tonight we need to go to Costco to restock on veggies, fruits, milk, pull-ups, and wipes.
Tomorrow morning we need to clean up the house - it is a disaster (we never got things put back together after our trip to FL since Carter and L got the stomach flu when we got back.) Then we have the kids Gymboree class. Our friend is coming over in the afternoon to watch the kids so we can go see Slumdog Millionaire. - we've been wanting to see it!
Sunday I'll finish the taxes, we'll go to the gym, and the grocery store - who knows what else.
Monday we are taking the kids to the kids museum in Baltimore (we have an annual pass that needs using!) No idea what else we'll do.
oh man! so many of you have long weekends! i have a feeling i'm going to have a very lonely monday...
Tonight we're just hangin out at home - i was feeling really out of sorts yesterday so we canceled plans to keep things mellow.
Saturday is the casino extravaganza....the only part of that i'm excited about is getting a new 'do (have i mentioned that my stylist is "family" and GORGEOUS?! yeah, i feel a little bad about seeing her on valentines day, but i really do need a haircut
)
Sunday will be our normal errands and hopefully a nice dinner out

You have not mentioned this. Is your stylist worth a drive from NY?
You have not mentioned that!
What's the new 'do going to be?

hmmm, thats pretty far to go for a haircut...but if you ever take a mini vaca to the CT casinos, i'd say its worth making an appointment. She's a tiny little thing with a really nice smile - DW and I both have a crush on her
i may even have a picture since she did our wedding hair and makeup....

i'm thinking about this:
not too drastic, but a touch more "sculpted"

I love it! That's going to look great! The short length is so fabulous on you.

Ethan has a 3-day weekend, kinda, from school anyway.
Tonight he has school till 6p and I am making pizza (homemade!) for dinner. Then work out time! Im gonna lose this weight and get in shape if it kills me! lol. Then home to watch tv and have desert, probably back to workout around 10 or so... we try to go twice to three times per day. Then sleeps!
Tomorrow we are gonna lounge around, do the laundry, put up the final 3 floating shelves, go grocery shopping and generally straighten up.... gym in the am and after lunch. Then we are going to get dressed up and Ethan is taking me somewhere!
Sunday we are going to spend a few hours working out and probably in front of the TV... then my mom and her boyfriend are coming over for dinner at 6p... E works at 11p.
Monday - E doesn't have school so we will probably sleep late (noon for him since he doesnt get home 'till 730a and 10 or so for me), and then go to the gym 3 or 4 times. :P
Yep my life is currently revolving around the gym, I feel guilty I gained a lot of weight in the last year and it HAS to go, no discussions or compromises with myself.
Tonight we are shopping for the house and last minute baby-proofing items.
Tomorrow S is working but we will do something nice for dinner and I will bake a special Valentine's treat for her.
Sunday I will be making myself crazy checking and rechecking that eveyrthing is in order for our licensing visit on Tuesday.
I have a 3-day weekend, but am not too excited about it. Sylvia is out of town to visit family (I was originally planning to go with her, but we decided I shouldn't go to save money and my vacation time), so I am alone till Tuesday.
I think I'll probably just spend the weekend cleaning and paying bills. Woo-hoo! I also need to finally order our wedding album (we already chose the pictures, all I really have to do is fill out the form and write the check... I just keep forgetting to do it).
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
Jen is at a class tonight so I'm going to clean up the house a bit and do some laundry and make a non-Jen-friendly dinner - including spinach, which she hates, and cheese, which she can't eat
?
We don't really have V-day plans - we're dropping the dogs off at the groomer's in the morning and then going to swim laps (I'm taking lessons, and can't wait to show her how much less I suck now). Our best gay boyfriends are coming over for pizza and hanging out in the evening - low-key double date. One of them got laid off yesterday so we're giving them as much TLC as possible.
Sunday, I'd love to say we are going to do something exciting or at least productive, but frankly we have a lot of TV to catch up on and we're also starting Dexter on DVD, so besides going for a run and cooking some meals for the week, lots of couch time
Jen has to work both days next weekend (it's performance review time - like tax time for HR people) so a good amount of downtime is called for. She has to work on Monday but I don't, haven't decided what I'll do yet. Do my taxes, probably, and take the dogs for a nice long walk if it's nice.
Not me! We have class tomorrow morning. Today J took me to get my nails done *huge smiles* and bought her a new outfit and me a new shirt for our V-Day plans tomorrow, then we ordered some pizza and cuddled up to watch wife swap and supernanny. Tomorrow we are going to class bright and early, then we are leaving town for the day and night. We are getting Jamie's hair cut and then going out to dinner at this fun gay bar. They have a special V-Day dinner course for a great price! After dinner we are going to dance it up for a little bit and then leave to go to a place called the Oasis. It is a hot tub/spa type place that is extremly romantic *can't wait!!*. After that it will be about 2am and we will be arriving at our hotel for some nice lovin time
We will arrive back home sunday and just chill until our babies get home from there dads house. Sunday is our 2 yr anniversary so I'm thinking about suprising J with a family dinner even though we agreed to incorporate everything into one night on V-Day. Monday will be a day of cleaning and getting ready to go back to class tuesday!!
I hope everyone has a great Valentines and remember to take lots of pictures to share!!!
