Re: It's Freakin Friday!!!

  • Thank goodness!

    Nothing too exciting here.  I had to back out of a DC Nesties event because I have to put my car in the shop tomorrow.  I'm not looking forward to shelling out $$$$ on it.  And, sadly, that's probably the highlight of my weekend.  Otherwise, it'll be cleaning and relaxing.

    Tomorrow-we are going to the rodeo!!! I am so excited! It's one of my favorite events in Houston. We are working out in the morning so we can get some fried deliciousness!
    Sunday-doing some work at home. Whenever you take vacation at my job, you always have to do a lot of work to get prepared for it.

  • Tomorrow is my 12.5 mile training run. I might do it tonight so I can get it done and over with, but that would mean not searching for and watching Catching Fire while running.  Which is what I really want to watch instead of yet another Harry Potter movie (the only movies long enough to last the whole run).

    I also have $15 in credit at Maurices and a 30% coupon, along with birthday money.  This chick wants some new clothes.

  • I am so happy to see Friday.  The last couple weeks at work have been absolutely nuts.  My brain is so tired.

    We have a few errands to run tomorrow and we curl Sunday, but otherwise the weekend will be fairly low-key.

    We are also starting to take Body By Vi shakes tomorrow. I realize that they may not be the most efficient, healthiest way to lose weight, but being my weight isn't really healthy either! TMI alert: My sister took the shakes for a few months and warned me that you poop a lot the first couple days; that's why we're not starting Monday :))

  • There's not much going on. I've been sick - starting to feel better but my nose is stuffy which drives me insane and basically making me very cranky.

    Hopefully I feel better because it's supposed to be pretty nice this weekend and I want to get a good amount of cleaning done. My BIL and his girlfriend are moving in with us for a few months to save money for a down payment and I want to start off with everything clean.

  • TGIF indeed. 

    Tonight - I'm dropping a table at my SILs and picking up some art to stage our house.  Then I have to put a second coat of paint on the TV unit I'm refinishing.  I use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, and that stuff is serious liquid gold for furniture.  It is amazing and has changed my life.

    Sat - I need to bring all our old paint to Home Depot to recycle, drop three garbage bags of stuff at Goodwill, and do a final load of packed boxes at my moms.  Then I need to clean, clean, clean the rest of the weekend.

    Sunday - I'm cleaning the carpets in the bedroom in the morning, and visiting my friend who just had a new baby.  Which reminds me, I'll also be baking on Saturday afternoon :)

    The house is being photographed for listing on Monday so I need to stage every room and make sure it is clean on Sunday night.  Aack! So exciting!

    Other than that, my main focus this weekend is finding a place that can hopefully recover the data on my computer that just died (that I of course don't have backed up).  I really hope it can be saved!

  • Tonight: DH just finished grocery shopping. When I get off work we're going to head to the mall and get some new clothes. After that we're having a sushi date to celebrate the whole last 5 months FINALLY being over with (still waiting for doctors office to call to confirm I'm at 0, but if I'm not we're all going to have an issue).

    Sunday: We don't have plans that either of us can think of, but we're not advertising that because we want to lay low.

  • Tonight, I'm stopping on my way home from work to buy Catching Fire to watch with DH. Don't know what I'm doing about dinner yet.

    Tomorrow and Sunday, groceries and visiting FIL for a bit. We also plan on working on our enclosed porch because I told DH I would prefer it to be done before we have his birthday party on the 22nd.

    All weekend, hopefully sleeping and resting well. I'm so exhausted from this week.

  • Tonight is dinner out and a movie, maybe. Tomorrow we have an electrical walk through of the new house, so we can pick out where to put outlets and switches.

    Then we are headed to the appliance place to put our orders in, and I will probably spend the rest of the day trying to get a jump on clearing out our house, so we can put it on the market ASAP. Eeks!

    Sunday is probably more cleaning/clearing. Time to get serious!

    We may have one more appointment with another cabinet company, the two quotes were so different we are wondering which is more appropriate. :)

    I think that covers it.

    This house building thing is a lot of work!

    Lol! I know how you feel. H is always wanting me to rub his back or feet or shoulders. Thankfully, he really liked it and I think we're going to make it a regular thing. :-)

  • @brij2006 - I miss Maurices! We don't have one here in Pittsburgh (that I know of) and when I lived in Ohio, I LOVED that store.

    @ystaalenburg - I just told DH last night that I really need to reschedule my massage again.  I've had it schedule twice now and had to cancel both times.  Hope you enjoyed!

    As for us, last night I went out with a friend for my birthday.  We didn't even get to the restaurant until 10:15 because that's when DH leaves for work so it was easier for me to leave, but I came home and cleaned the house until 2am.  I was so overfull and needed to move around to let the food settle before I could lay down.

    Today, we're headed to my parents to celebrate our birthdays (DH was on Wednesday and mine today, YAY!) with pizza and cake.  Nothing too exciting.  I'll also be doing 5-6 loads of laundry while there since our lives have been a disaster over the last three weeks and I haven't touched it.

    Tomorrow, we're pulling the goalie.  It's still early in my cycle but that's all I can think about.  We were going to wait until we move but we've both decided we're ready now.  We close on our house on April 3rd so we're also going to go do some furniture and organization item shopping.  I'm sooo excited for this weekend.
