What's on tap for your weekend?

DH and I carpooled to work today and he is picking me up at 4:30 to get get sushi - our favorite!  

I'm meeting with some girlfriends tomorrow morning for coffee.  Well, I'll be having tea - my stomach can't handle coffee even though I love it.  Then we are heading to the farmer's market for a bit of shopping, decorating a gingerbread house and heading over to another friend's house for dinner and drinks.  I'm bringing stuff to make s'mores over their fire pit.  All of my best girlfriends are single, but I'm hoping that one of them will be announcing her engagement soon - maybe why she's throwing this dinner party?!  

Sunday we don't have any plans set in stone, but I'm hoping to wrap all of our Christmas presents.  I'm horrible at wrapping, so naturally I hate it.  Can't wait to get it out of the way!

What are you ladies up to?

Re: What's on tap for your weekend?

  • I'm not sure what's happening tonight.  My guess is laid-back.

    Tomorrow I will be baking up a storm in preparation for Sunday.  My DH's family has a Christmas tree cutting party every year at the family farm and it was originally supposed to be tomorrow (thank goodness...otherwise I would have been a baking machine tonight).  It was moved to Sunday instead because of the potential winter weather.  I'm actually looking forward to it this year (whereas last year I wasn't).  Maybe it's because since we're now married, I've been "accepted" into the K clan.  And my parents are coming - my dad has been asking to see the farm since DH & I started dating.

    That's a neat tradition.  Is this the first time your parents have been to your IL's house?  What are you planning on baking?

  • My weekend started yesterday, my little sister and I went to JingleFest which is a country concert, Jana Kramer, Thomas Rhett and Dustin Lynch. It was a good time.
    Today we have been baking cookies like crazy and tonight we will have some Creamy bacon and potato soup for supper.
    Tomorrow will probably just be laying around the house while DH is at work, if he works. We have a rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, more freezing rain system moving in today/night and tomorrow morning.
    Sunday we are taking my sister home and meeting up for a late lunch with my mom.
  • Yes it is.  They all met at the wedding.  Mostly, it's DH's half-brother and half-sisters and the aunts and uncles.  I'm baking sugar cookies...I got a ton of cookie cutters at the bridal shower DH's family threw for me.  I figured I'd make use of them.   :))

  • I think I'll get a movie from redbox and have a lazy night with DH. Work gets really busy for him this time of year so this week has been rough on him.

    Tomorrow, we are going to finish our Christmas shopping and I'm having lunch with a childhood friend that I haven't seen in awhile.

    And Sunday, I'm going to do my Christmas cookie baking. I'm pretty excited about this! Oh and I have to go raid my MIL closet for an ugly Christmas sweater! haha ;)

    Sounds like everyone will have a great weekend!  :)

  • H text me that something bad happened at work and he has to drive to the other side of the state to get a machine (he already works 1 state over from where we live).  So I'm on my own for dinner.  I'll likely run on the treadmill and heat up some leftovers.

    Tomorrow is running errands and finishing up Christmas shopping. Then H's best friend is coming, and we'll hang out with him.

    Sunday is 2 Christmas's.

  • I have a holiday party hosted by my in laws tonight. Unfortunately, my Mom was invited and might be coming (of course she doesn't RSVP), last year it ended with me screaming penis at the parking attendants from the back seat of my FIL's truck. This year will be much less exciting!

    Saturday we are bracing ourselves for a snow storm so I am baking cookies!

    Sunday my SIL is hosting a cookie, cake, and fun treats party. I am bringing my Saturday cookies as well as chocolate dipped fruit and things.

  • @KJLR2012 I am so jealous you are getting sushi! I want some!

    @lfk2013 What a cool idea for a party! I haven't had a real tree since I was a kid, I look forward to doing it soon though. It's so fun picking out the perfect tree, and I love the smell!

    @blueeyedblossom That sounds like a fun concert! :)

    @BreMae I'm thinking of getting a Redbox movie also. Which one are you thinking of?

    @brij2006 I'm sorry about your H's work situation. :(

    @sewilson33 I hope your party goes well tonight and you don't end up screaming penis. ;)

    @BruinsBabe33 What a fun tradition, I am jealous of your weekend plans!

    @thecuddleeffect Haha don't have too much fun with that oil change and homework. ;) What are you getting your master's in?

  • Enjoying this humongous mug of hot cocoa spiked with marshmallow vodka while I fill out Christmas cards.

    I ran out to the post office this morning before the snow to mail one Christmas package. I also got a couple of loads of laundry done, and wrapped DH's gifts and the gifts I need to mail to my family down south.

    I really need to get some serious house cleaning done tomorrow.

  • So last night at my H's gig, we met the guy who sang the classic house song 'Break 4 Love'. Not sure how many of you know this track, but some of you might ;) The track was big on the radio when it came out - probably 25 years ago at this point.

    I've met quite a few 'famous' people in my lifetime, but this seriously was the ultimate for me - and it's not like you see this guy in the news or on TV...he's just a regular guy that was humble as pie. So I guess driving in the crappy weather was worth it after all :)
