Anything related to cleaning. Cleaning a house is hard work!
I'm a little confused whether there are supposed to be three things total or three things per each. So I'll err on the side of caution:
1. Relaxing, going for dinner in SF this weekend with some friends we haven't seen in years, and finishing up a couple projects.
2. I made crock-pot salsa chicken yesterday and I'm really looking forward to leftovers. Also, I have some pad thai in the freezer and I'm making molasses cookies this evening.
3. Um ... I got nothing on this one. Everything I'm not looking forward to, I have to do anyhow. Maybe I can dump the dishwasher duty onto DH.
I was thinking the same thing, but seeing how everyone else responded, including OP tonic, I'll follow the convention.
1) Looking forward to doing this week. Playing volleyball on Saturday. MIL has been visiting and as a result we haven't been able to do any of our normal activities. I'm going through volleyball withdrawal.
2) Looking forward to eating this week. Um, I just ate three brownie bites that a co-worker brought into the office. That was so not part of the low(er)-carb plan
3) Looking forward to not doing this week
I can't think of anything!
2) Looking forward to eating this week. Another blue moon cupcake with orange cream cheese frosting
3) Looking forward to not doing this week
Waking up at 5am for work
1. Going for a hike with DH and our dog tonight up near Black Diamond Mines after work. He and I have been on the lazy bandwagon the last two weeks and I miss our runs or hikes together (plus our dog loves to be outside & she needs to be exercised, so she benefits too!).
2. Maybe some frozen yogurt this weekend.
3. I've got nuffin for this.

1) Looking forward to doing this week. Well, although I'm nervous, I'm looking forward to interviewing for this position on Thurs. It is FT and the school is nearby.
2) Looking forward to eating this week. Some new places exploring the area with MIL. Since we're broke we haven't tried many places here yet.
3) Looking forward to not doing this week
Not having to get up early yet. If I get the job I'll have to start getting up early next week.

Not seeing my ILs this weekend, I love them but I need a break and one or the other of them have been by every day this week/weekend.
1) Looking forward to doing this week. Heading down to Sacramento this weekend! My aunt is throwing my grandfather a surprise birthday party so my mom and I are traveling down for the weekend. I haven't been back to CA since we moved over 2 years ago.
2) Looking forward to eating this week. Hahaha, well a few hours ago I would have probably named a few things, but I just tried on my bridesmaid dress for my brothers wedding which is in a few weeks and it felt snugger than I'd like it to be. So in short, I'm trying not to think about yummy food right now.

Mopping my floors since I did it last weekend!

1) Looking forward to doing this week. I am looking forward to enjoying my last week of maternity leave.
2) Looking forward to eating this week. Hopefully some good bbq this weekend.
