TGIF! Weekend Plans?
Today/tonight: cleaning, and date night with DH. We'll probably go to happy hour, maybe to dinner, if not - i'll make a nice dinner at home, snuggle up and watch movies.
Tomorrow - lunch with ktothej and running errands, not sure what else yet
Sunday - relax and figure out what we want to do while we're in Toronto in 2 weeks!
Re: TGIF! Weekend Plans?
Woohoo! I took today off so its a three day weekend for me....
Today: Cleaning up the basement - we finished our board & batten project, so now I have to put it all back together and buy some new grey & aqua throw pillows and an aqua blue glass table lamp (any suggestions where to find this?) - then we are going to head up to Frederick to wander around and then do the Flying Dog tour. Yum.
Tomorrow: Lunch with SSW, maybe a mani/pedi now that my week long painting and home improvement project is done. Other than that, I just plan to vegetate.
Sunday: Not sure if DH is working or not. Either way, I'll take KJ on a nice hike and maybe then we'll do a movie or something. If he is not around, I have a Coach giftcard that is burning a hole in my pocket(book) - maybe I'll run out to Arundel Mills and see if they have anything that I absolutely must have.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Today: Lunch with DH (which means I have to get out of my pjs. Damn.), cleaning the house and grocery/Costco. Tonight: couchtime
Tomorrow: I wanted to hang out with my flakey friend and her family, but haven't heard anything back from her. So, maybe nothing.
Sunday: Dinner at my dad's. I am ridiculously excited because he is driving down to the Eastern Shore just to get oysters for it.
Working yuck.
Tonight: Dnner with Board
Tomorrow: Board Meeting
Sunday: Board Meeting
Today: Business website stuff, cleaning and party prep w/Otto, Paleo/Zone nutrition workshop at my new gym (I just joined Crossfit - pray for me!), TV and wine on the couch
Saturday: Finishing party prep. Otto finished his 18-month vanity project of getting some of his songs recorded, so this is his "CD release" party/band jam. If any of you are curious enough to preview, you can go to iTunes to search for (or Google) Otto Mann Aftermath. SStrug will back me up that Never in My Life and Lady Crocodile are quite enjoyable!
Sunday: Recovering, making breakfast for partiers who stayed over, cleaning up, and going out for our 10 YEAR (!) first-date-i-versary. We're going back to the scene(s) of the crime - Cap City Brewing and Bungalow Billiards.
Tonight - we might get take-out!
Tomorrow - Costco, JoAnn, Goodwill. Lots of errands. I also need to locate receipts for last year's FSA this weekend. Nothing like waiting til the last minute.
Sunday - Water Babies and a baby shower for a friend (a former nestie!).
Tonight: Dinner out with our church group. We started out 3 years ago in a group with 4 DINK couples and now are up to 6 couples, a single guy and two babies. We used to joke that if you had a kid you were kicked out...but now it is becoming a trend.
Tomorrow: DH and I are doing an 8 mile run and then he is going to the VT verse Maryland basketball game. I am going to stay home to organize a little bit and then go with my parents to the Air and Space museum in Chantilly. DH will then meet us back up at my parent's house for dinner.
Sunday: Church and then DH has an HOA meeting (I retired as HOA president and he joined the board, so I am very excited I don't have to go!). I will probably just catch up on stuff around the house.
Tonight: Going home, making dinner and drinking. We had a serious shortage of subs today so I spent the day in a third grade room with extremely bare bones lessons left. Well, like no lessons left. So I scrambled trying to find things, then spent the day with 22 kids. I am worn out. They are being super, I'm just so used to/spoiled by working with small groups (6 max). We're supposed to go to the gym, but I think I convinced DH to skip it and go tomorrow instead. Run a few errands tonight, then drinks.
Tomorrow: Gym, some cleaning, then headed out to Trader Joes and Dogfish before going to DMuppet's DH's CD release party -- cool!
Sunday: Probably the gym again, and whatever cleaning we didn't get done. Relax around the house, catch up on DVR, reading, and our usual Sunday night cooking experiment. We like to try new recipes/techniques and dishes that take a longer time. This week is homemade corn tortillas.
My Food Blog
Tonight- trying a new spaghetti carbonera recipe for dinner, not sure what else we'll do. Probably just catch up on stuff around the house- I feel like our pile of mail is out of control.
Tom.- women's group in the morning, then I'll have the afternoon to myself, which I'll be spending online. I finally gave in and signed up for Pinterest, so I'll be exploring that. I also need to work on my FB profile before "publishing" the timeline version.
Sunday- church, grocery shopping, cleaning.
Planning Bio
Tonight: I got Papa Murphy's pizza - I think my New Year's Resolution is not to cook on Fridays! :-)
Tomorrow: No idea. We might end up going to Portland. If not, we'll just do errands around town; we need to find some new bedside lamps since we got new bedding and our old shades don't match. I want a different style, too, with a more focused light so DH doesn't bother me when he reads in bed. (He stays up later than me, so my reading isn't a factor!) It's supposed to be nice, so we might end up doing something outdoors.
Sunday: Church, grocery shopping if we don't do it Saturday, who knows what else.
