Weekend plans?

What's everyone doing? If you celebrate it (and give gifts), how is your shopping going?

Re: Weekend plans?

  • Friday - Present wrapping marathon! We are attempting to get it all done tonight.
    Saturday - Grocery shopping for me and LO, DH is seeing Star Wars and older kids are going to the science museum
    Sunday - Church, my niece's birthday party!

    Shopping status: 80% done, I need one more thing for DH, still have no idea what to get FIL and I need to remember to get oranges for the stockings
  • Tonight: Making red velvet cheesecake brownies for a Christmas on Sunday.  I really should have bought double the ingredients, because I know I'm going to eat half of them.

    Tomorrow: Meeting up with a GP nestie for coffee then lunch. :-)  Then doing my first mystery shop at the movie theater.  Thinking we're going to see Sisters.

    Sunday: Church, then Christmas with 1 side for lunch, and dessert afterward at my parents.

    Yeah....shopping status.  I need to get to our nearby town during business hours to finish up my moms' gift.  Hoping I can get MIL to do that for me on Monday.  Otherwise H really needs to get FIL his gift. That's the only one we have left.

  • No plans so far tonight. Tomorrow I have a hair cut and color - my stylist has been on mat leave so it's been too long!! Sunday no plans. I need to check the weather because we still need to bag the last of the leaves and clean the gutters.

    Christmas shopping is pretty much done, just need to wrap and get one last thing for my staff. (We're doing a nice lunch on me next week in addition to a small gift.) I'm usually a last minute shopper so this feels great!!

  • Saturday we are doing Christmas with my sister. Dh, ds and she will be gone Christmas Day so I will be with friends (too pregnant to travel that far). So I have all my shopping done because Christmas is tomorrow for us!

    Sunday I have maternity photos and I'm so excited for them. I have to figure out outfits for ds and dh though, so that may take a bit of figuring.

  • Tonight I'm going to meet a girlfriend for dinner. After the day I've had, I'll likely be drinking my dinner. Yikes. Tomorrow I'm working, then meeting up with my cousin. Sunday, grocery shopping and cleaning. H is on call all weekend, so

    Christmas shopping is almost down. We have one more thing to get for SIL, and I don't know what to get. But we're not doing Christmas with them until NYE, so I'm not super stressed about it yet.
  • Fri - 1 hour early out from work so I got a workout in.  Dinner and relax with wine.

    Sat - early morning at church to help with decorations then evening church service.

    Sun - Brunch out with H and then gym, football watching and doing some stuff around the house.

    I give presents to niece and nephews.  This year they are getting cash so my shopping is done.

  • Tonight--staying home watching movies.  I had a crazy day at work, so we're just going to relax.

    Sat--need to pick up the house and get stuff ready.  We are hosting a party Sat. night for my dad and his wife, my sis, and my bro and his daughter.

    Sun--clean up from party, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.

    I am totally done with Christmas shopping and all gifts are wrapped.  I just need to deliver a couple to my mom's house tomorrow.  We will celebrate at her house on Christmas.

  • I had a bit of a meltdown today. My body can't take much more with a lingering sinus infection.

    Tonight dh, dd and I saw Star Wars. It was awesome! Dh just left to see it again. He loves it.

    Tomorrow dh said I was to rest all day which I will have a hard time doing. He is working a wedding reception tomorrow night. Seriously need to pick up around the house.

    Sunday we are going to take our dog to the plaza for treats. Her bday is today but we didn't have time for it. I'd like to start baking cookies and go thru DDs current toys in the living room and store some in the basement to make room for Xmas toys.

  • All shopping and wrapping done!

    This time of year is great, but busy because 3 of my closest friends who now live far away come to town, so we try to spend as much time together as possible.  My one friend is coming over this afternoon and we'll spend it together.  I'm cooking dinner for her and her fiancé.  Sunday I'm going to try and get a bunch cleaning and other chores done.  I'm working Monday-Wednesday, but I have lighter days, so I'm excited to spend time with friends after work :)
  • Friday- worked and went grocery shopping. FI was really sick, so it was kind of a hectic day for me trying to balance everything without any help.

    Today- work again. I'm actually on a quick break right now, but I only have about an hour left. Then I'm going to go home, spend time with my kids, make dinner, and probably work on an app I'm designing.

    Sunday- no plans yet! Probably wrap gifts, but that won't happen until after the kids are in bed.

    Fri: DS preschool Christmas party, job interview (went extremely well!), DS to the doctor (way more sick than we thought), pharmacy and shopping.

    Sat: big run to Sam's to stock up, Target for some last minute items, lots of baking.

    Sun: Christmas gathering

    Shopping: I still need to finish my mom's gift. One of our Amazon orders is MIA so we need to grab that (a Santa gift) very soon! Otherwise everything is wrapped and ready to go. I'm pretty excited about that!
