Re: Weekend plans?
Let's see, not much tonight. Maybe some prenatal yoga, if I feel up to it.
tomorrow: running 20 miles in the morning and having brunch afterwards at my dads house. running a couple errands and not sure what the rest of the day holds.
sunday: gym for cross trianing & strength training, laundry, grocery shopping and watching the nascar race. I need to meal plan for next week too. I've been awful with planning our meals and I must get back into this habit!!

Tonight: Planning a Munchie Movie Night: Pigs in Blanket Bites, Hot Corn Dip, Bacon?Wrapped Jalape?o Poppers, Roasted Chickpeas, and Veggies with Ranch while watching Hugo.
Saturday: A couple is coming to do a second walk-through of our condo to see if they're renting. If they are, then we need to be out by March 31st and need to find a house ASAP.
Sunday: Depends on the above.
Tonight we're going to the Celtics game.
The rest of the weekend will involve basic cleaning chores, a birthday party, and I'm working Saturday night.
DH and his team are in Orlando until late Sunday night at a tournament.
Tonight I don't really have much planned, I *may* go out to dinner near my office with a former co-worker whose husband is in extended care at a nearby hospital but that is pretty unlikely. If I don't go with her, I'll probably just get take out and enjoy a few drinks while watching DVRed TV and follow DH's games online. Then I'll Skype with him when he is done. We are also supposed to get some pretty nasty weather here tonight/tomorrow morning so I'll keep an eye on that.
Tomorrow I'm going to sleep in and then I have an appointment for a cut and color. I might do some shopping, too. Follow DH's games online as well.
Sunday I'll clean, go grocery shopping, make some potato salad for Tuesday's dinner, do laundry, watch my Netflix DVD of Big Love and prepare for another busy week.
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
I'm headed to New Orleans with two girlfriends for the Rock N Roll Mardi Gras Half Marathon. I'm really hoping the weather here in Nashville holds out until we get the heck out of town this afternoon, although that's not looking too promising.
ETA: I think I'm most excited about the food. I'll probably eat my weight in charbroiled oysters here and I can't wait to go to Luke again!
Tonight I'm working late, I'll do tai chi while pizza dough rises, then we'll have pizza and watch TV.
Tomorrow I need to do C25K, then we want to go to the flea market, maybe go to Sonic (never been before!), and just putz around.
Sunday I need to grocery shop and we'll probably visit my grandparents.
tonight: just home to make dinner and hang out. maybe the gym, maybe just a movie at home.
tomorrow: start some cleaning, we're hosting a local nestie/dh homebrewing gtg next weekend so cleaning starts this weekend! we will also finalize the menu for that and pull recipes, etc.
sunday: dh wants to try his hand and making bread with our sourdough starter, so he will work on that and i will do some sort of cooking project as well, once i make my mind up. we need to make some mozzarella with the milk that got delivered today as well.
we will hit up the gym either day and also try to make a dent in our dvr, top chef finale is definitely on the roster.

I don't think I have anything planned! Yay! Not even any big cooking plans for once. This week was really busy, so I'm looking forward to a break. Even DH won't be around for a lot of the weekend, which is sort of sad because I haven't spent a lot of time with him lately and miss him, but is also nice because I can totally relax and unwind.
I do need to work on my garden this weekend. That's really my only plan.

The whiney version of me: DH is working the whole weekend, I'm still under the weather with this head cold, and there's a dust storm so can't take the little guy out to burn off energy. So tired of being sick.
The realistic version of me: Thankful for a nice DH and a good friend. I got to sleep in until 9 (in between nursing LittleGirl, hacking, sniffling). My friend came over to hang with me all day and help take care of the kids. She's going to hang out again tomorrow but we'll actually get out of the house a bit for Starbucks and checking out an indoor play place for the kiddos.
Tonight I have a happy hour with coworkers. Then I'm going grocery shopping and laying low.
Tomorrow I'm getting up early to make breakfast for H before he has a really long day. A little later I'm hosting a small brunch followed by a 10 mile run and Dawson's Creek. H is supposed to be planning some sort of date that evening so we'll see.
Sunday I'm trying out making crackers and that's about it.
I think I'm taking DD to a farm/agriculture special exhibit at a kids museum tomorrow, maybe a couple of errands on the way there. Choc chip pancakes, bacon and strawberries for breakfast, lunch out, and pizza bar for dinner (and making extras for lunches). Sunday we'll go to church in the morning, and have a low-key afternoon. Probably a hashbrown omelet for breakfast, fun grilled cheese for lunch, and waldorf chicken salad for dinner.
What I'm not doing is any housework or any of the little projects we have planned before we list our house to sell. This was supposed to be DH's first full weekend home in a month, so we were going to get a bunch of stuff done, but of course something went wrong so he's going to be OOT all weekend. Part of the deal he made to do what he thinks is an unneccessary trip was that he would get next week off (plus overtime instead of comp time, woohoo!), so I'm leaving everything for him to deal with then.
Lots of "stuff"...errands, things around the house, etc. for tomorrow. Also going to speak to a few of my car's manufacturer's dealers to try to get a good deal on an early lease return, since I'm way under my miles.
Sunday - celebrating my niece's birthday
