weekend plans
Since it's FINALLY friday I need some inspiring weekend plans to help today go quicker!
This is the first weekend DH and I are both home, I'm not working any shifts this weekend and DH doesn't have anything planned with the guys. I told him we're going to spend all day away from the house - otherwise I fear I'll do housework or something else boring 
so what's everyone got planned?
Re: weekend plans
tonight: pulled pork for dinner, making these blondies, shooting/blogging the recipe, and probably a little laundry.
tomorrow: sleeping in, newseum (running out of time for our groupon!), and then DH's b-day party
sunday: gym, wrapping DH's b-day gifts while he runs errands, then making a big batch of amatriciana sauce for dinner/freezer
happy friday!!
TGIF!!!!
Tonight - date night with the hubby since he was gone the past two weekends.
Tomorrow - laundry, pedicure/manicure, shopping with my sister to get stuff for Vegas in two weeks!
Sunday - helping with the last day of sorority recruitment all day at U of Maryland.
Tonight- Leftover chicken cacciatore for dinner, painting my nails, maybe making DH a coupon book for V-day, catching up on reading.
Tom.- Going to the National Museum of the American Indian for their chocolate festival, plus there's an exhibit on the Quileutes I want to see. Here's the link for the chocolate festival: http://www.nmai.si.edu/subpage.cfm?subpage=events&trumbaEmbed=view%3Dseries%26seriesid%3D626823
Sunday- Church, grocery shopping, not sure what else.
Planning Bio
tonight: DH is coming to meet me at school, then we are going out for a few drinks before heading to my school's PTA's annual fundraiser. They like teachers to make an appearance, so that should be fun.
tomorrow: DH might be brewing in the morning. I will probably catch up on the DVR and relax/read. In the evening we are headed to Mad Fox's barleywine festival which should be delicious.
sunday: recovery (possibly), then just relaxing at home, catching up on housework, etc. We have to think of a Sunday cooking project for this week. Maybe a nice short rib dish.
My Food Blog
Today: I already did my 10-mile run this morning to get it out of the way. Tonight we're having dinner at home and then catching up on Tivo shows.
Saturday: Hopefully going to Baltimore to check out Port Discovery and grab lunch somewhere.
Sunday: Go for a run in the morning, some quick errands, and then maybe check out the Trolley Museum. The kid is really into transportation right now.
Tonight: Catching up on the DVR queue. Southland, Parks & Rec, Office, 30 Rock, etc.
Tomorrow: DH will be at a.m. football and I will be at rehearsal (I'm in the pit again for the local youth musical). Then we'll visit FIL at the hospital since he'll likely be there for the next few months.
Sunday: More rehearsals. Then making Cooking Light's baked potato soup.
Scout

No plans for tonight. i;d love to have happy hour
Toninght: Happy Hour and dinner with some friends.
Saturday: Costco for dog food and maybe some boot shopping! Friends birthday party at night (ohh I should make something for that!)
Sunday: A scrub down of our place since my family will be in town next week!
Tonight: Grabbing a drink with Otto to celebrate 34 Kardashians together, then probably watching Hangover 2 at home.
Saturday: Absolutely nothing! Will probably work on our taxes and take care of home stuff.
Sunday: Executing my Christmas gift to my 9-year-old niece: taking her and her doll to lunch at the American Girl store at Tysons.
Tonight: DH just went back to work, so I'm probably going to head for bed. I need to stock up on sleep, I have an insane schedule next week.
Tomorrow: Costco, grocery shopping, cleaning house & baking a cake in preparation for having friends to dinner on Sunday.
Sunday: whatever didn't get done around the house on Saturday, then cooking for friends and hopefully still getting to bed at a decent hour!
