TGIF
What's everyone up to this weekend?
Tonight is our company Christmas dinner at Roaring Fork in downtown Austin. I'm excited about it because they serve the best corn bread stuffing and green chili mac n cheese!! And, I bought a new pretty dress that I get to wear. 
Tomorrow, we are meeting our builder at our lot. He wants to go over the site for the house one more time and go over some paperwork. Then, we're showing my parents one of our builders houses so they can give us their input and I also want to take pictures and measurements of some of the rooms. That house is the same layout that we built off of, so although it's not our exact layout, it's similar enough to have a good idea. I'd also like to go by Home Depot and pick up supplies to start refinishing some of the furniture I purchased (a queen bed, full bed with mattress set, two desks and a dresser for my stepdaughters rooms for just under $300!!). They are all vintage and will look gorgeous once repainted.
On Sunday, we may go look at a desk for our home office. It's really pretty and similar desks new are in the several thousand dollar range. This one is $475 so we're hoping it works.

Tomorrow is H's birthday!! We're cleaning and getting ready for Sunday during the day. In the evening, we're going to bring O to H's parents house so we can go out to dinner. We're going to this delicious Portuguese restaurant in NJ. I am so excited! Their food is incredible.
Sunday, H's extended family is coming to our house to celebrate his grandmother's 90th birthday and Hanukkah.
Saturday we are taking Tyrion and our pup for pictures with Santa. Maybe some christmas shopping and hoping to finish decorating.
Sunday don't plan on leaving the house!
Saturday - finish decorating, making ornaments with E's feet, wrapping presents.
Sunday - getting rings resized, and shopping.
Pictures of hair. It will not be this flat after I shower....
Tomorrow i get to repeat all the work nonsense again. No idea what time that will be until. I'm at my wits end with that place anymore but I have no idea what to do for a career otherwise.
Hopefully (time pending) going to visit my mom at the hospital too. She's supposed to be coming home soon, which I'm happy about. I was worried about trying to make sure she had Christmas dinner and things. Due to insurance things, they're doing home rehabilitation to get her back on her feet. So hopefully that works out.
Would also like to get to the gym tomorrow as well. Thankfully they're open 24/7.
Otherwise, lots of laundry and hopefully gift wrapping. Confession: I listened to the record that I got for H's gift since it was just in a sleeve and not sealed. I almost cried out of happiness. He better like it.
