Weekend plans?
What are you up to this weekend?
Today, I'm meeting my sister to go interview outfit shopping, to get a little lunch and maybe a movie, if there is time.
I also might have to call a plumber today, if the Drano doesn't fix the kitchen sink drain problem. We have to have the house snaked about once a year due to small pipes and stupid planning on the builder's behalf. Thanks, dude.
Tomorrow will probably just be groceries and cleaning. The place is a mess! The cats got in a tussle the other night and there is hair all over the living room lol. I think H is going to be prepping witnesses so it'll likely be just me.

Re: Weekend plans?
My mission this weekend is to get rid of fleas. Fun times, right? Anyone else having a hard time with fleas this year? Any one have any tips for getting rid of them?
I don't particularly want to use strong shampoos, powders or sprays full of chemicals, because LO is crawling and rolling all over the floors these days. He loves to play with the dogs also. Maybe I'm being too cautious, but I can't help it.
Do you treat your dogs for fleas? We give Callie Comfortis, it's a pill and it tastes nasty, and it makes her sick, but Frontline just doesn't work for her. We've not had any problems this year.
If they are in your house, I'd call a company and see what kind of service they can provide that is safe for your family and your pets.
My parents are in town this weekend (I haven't seen them since Christmas!!), so we'll be doing a combination of sightseeing, eating, and sitting around talking.
We're moving next weekend, so I really need to start packing up the house. DH will help when I give him a specific task to do, but isn't good about taking the initiative and doing things on his own. I was out of town for a week and came back expecting some things to be already packed, but he told me that there was too much to do so he didn't do anything. *sigh*
This. Once we moved to Oklahoma, Frontline wouldn't cut it any more. We switched to Comfortis and it worked like a charm.
If you have fleas in the house currently, I think you can use baking soda to smother them in some way---check with Google, but I swear I've heard that before.
DH works all weekend, so I'm having a sloth night with a couple of friends from work (movies + beer + junk food.) I'm also in the middle of a good book so the plan tomorrow is to finish it.
ETA::
Found the recipe that our rescue group uses!!!
Mix together 1 1/2 pounds of diatomaceous earth, 1 1/2 pounds of natural borax and 1 cup of salt. (Don't use the earth and borax that you can purchase at a pool store, rather use the products that you can get from your local garden store.) The diatomaceous earth works because it contains very tiny particles that have sharp spines, which puncture the exoskeleton of the flea, killing it. The borax and salt work by absorbing the moisture of the flea and make all of those cracks and small areas that they might find to live in your home much more undesirable.
Yesterday I went for a mani/pedi with my friend and caught up with my TIVO shows.
I work all day today, boo. DH and I are going to BIL's bday party tonight.
Tomorrow I have church and some down time, but I am working again for a few hours in the evening. Gotta love the start of new semester!
Yesterday, we picked up our textbooks for this semester and ate some dinner.
Today, DH had to work. I cleaned and just got back from running at the gym. Tonight, we're going on a double date.
Tomorrow, we have church and a little more cleaning.

Thank you SO much!!
Thank you SO much!!
No plans tomorrow, but I do need to do laundry and some cleaning.
Yesterday we went to a movie (Fright Night with Colin Farrell, yum!) and had an early dinner. We came home afterwards and crashed (literally) for a few hours.
Today I am doing a load of cleaning. We both start the fall semester tomorrow and during the week we are so busy we barely have time to cook, let alone clean.

I saw that with my sister--it was fun! I might see if Netflix has the original streaming and watch it tonight.
