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?
Excited for our first baby!
BFP 12/14/13 ~ EDD 8/26/13
Re: What's on tap for your weekend?
BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
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.

BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
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.

Tomorrow going to our fancy theater an hour away to watch The Hobbit in leather recliners with bar service brought right to my seat.
Tomorrow night have engagement party for BIL and soon to be SIL.
Sunday meeting with classmates about final project and then homework, homework, homework.

Edit - H is driving. Not me. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting this. lol
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.
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
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
