Re: Weekend Plans?

  • Friday- H gets paid to attend a class for work tonight for 4 hrs, so I'll just head to the gym. We had some new grass planted this week, so we need to keep it watered

    Saturday- Yard work and maybe a fire pit night with family or friends

    Sunday- Cleaning, laundry, gym, grocery store, and packing

    We leave next Friday for our long weekend which will consist of Newport, RI on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Cape Cod for a Sunday night wedding, Leaving on Monday sometime to go home, then we will hit up the Big E fair in Mass on Tuesday. So pumped. It's our first vacay all year...long overdue.

    Friday: wfh, have the furnace people coming for the winter check, and appliance people coming for our freezer- having issues with water leaking out of the bottom and we don't use the ice machine, so it's not that. The fridge is not even 5 years old.
    Update: new coil and $162 later, fridge should be good.. so far, no problems!

    Saturday: flu shot clinic for the girls, house work, yard work, grocery shop, dinner with DH's parents

    Sunday: Last tile wall in the tub/shower area. Grout next weekend!

  • Not much going on this weekend so hopefully I can get some stuff done around the house.
    Our highlight will be racing our dog in the wiener dog race tomorrow.  She is not a wiener dog but will wear the mandatory hot dog bun costume during the race to make her a wiener in spirit.
  • H is working tonight, I'm going to a class at the gym. 

    Tomorrow-  I'm hoping to get caught up on all my laundry, and I'll do sheets and towels so H can do his laundry on Sunday. I'll also probably deep clean the kitchen. 

    Sunday- class at the gym in the morning, then probably a Costco run, since it's on my way home. Then hopefully we can get caught up on season two of American Crime on Netflix. Haha!

    Nothing fun, but hopefully a productive weekend. We haven't had much time to do stuff around the house lately, so I'm looking forward to it!


  • Nothing really happening for us this weekend either. DH has to work tomorrow for an annual test they have to do so I plan to just have some me time and get stuff done around the house. Kind of looking forward to no set plans.
  • Friday -- half-day at f/t job, then my IC job (only takes 30 minutes), Walmart run.

    Saturday -- IC job with H in the morning but also picked up a breakfast mystery shop in the area.

    Sat./Sun. -- Laundry/start packing for our trip to Boston.  Yay!  Clean the house, clean out the fridge.  So neighbors who will be watching our dog/cat don't realize the messy housekeepers we really are, lol.

  • Tonight: Narrowing down our Airbnb for Hawaii.  This has been the hardest decision of planning the whole trip.
    Walking Dead season 6 is on Netflix now.  I forsee nothing getting done past the above.

    Tomorrow: Weigh in at Weight Watchers then grabbing a few groceries.
    H has a car that he's flipping right now so I'll help him get it cleaned and detailed to sell.  I also need to finish taking down the pool.

    Sunday: It's my cousins' 7th birthday so we're driving 2 hours to join them for some train experience thing.  It will be nice to spend an afternoon with family.

  • It's funny, this week flew by for me and now today is dragging!

    Friday - drinks with an old co-worker. She just got a new job and I was her reference so we're going to celebrate her moving on to much bigger and better things. Our old firm has a bad habit of overworking/underpaying their best people until they burnout, meanwhile the bad employees never leave because nowhere else will pay them to do their job poorly without consequence. There is literally a secretary that has worked there 15 years that has no idea how to use Outlook calendars or format word documents and refuses to learn (I tried teaching her several times). And that's ok for some reason.

    Saturday - morning is still up in the air. There is a Greek festival some of our friends are going to but we really really need to do yard work. We have a 40th birthday party for a friend in the evening - her husband arranged for 2 hours of all you can eat tacos and all you can drink margaritas so it should be fun!

    Sunday - Costco, cleaning, general puttering around the house. 
  • Friday: Birmingham Zoo Gala tonight, which will be fun.  I scored a BCBG dress for 95% off new, so I'm stoked about that.  Originally $350, I paid $17.

    Saturday: Going to Atlanta for my Global Entry appointment and to meet our new niece!  We will also be stopping by PBK and Costco to pick some things up for the new family.

    Sunday: Brunch with the inlaws and then headed home for errands, etc.
    Wedding Countdown Ticker
  • Tonight I play a wedding.  DH just left a little bit ago for a wedding he is working tomorrow in Iowa.  He will be back on Sunday.

    Tomorrow not sure - I play a wedding late afternoon and will probably just hang out with DD before then.  She will be at my in laws while I play and then I'm meeting them for dinner afterwards.

    Sunday - I'm thinking yoga in the morning and then DH comes home in the afternoon so probably just relax the rest of the day.
  • No plans tonight or tomorrow.  Sunday H leaves for a five day business trip so he'll probably need help ironing and packing.

  • Tonight: We talked about going to see Sully but DH leaves for a business trip at 5 am tomorrow and hasn't packed yet.

    Saturday: DH leaves for his trade show in Vegas and I work my second part time job. My sister is hanging out this weekend to watch DD while I work my second job. We might be going to the fair after my short shift.


    Sunday: Work my second part time job and then Football all day! I will eventually have to drop my sister off before bedtime though. She would probably prefer it to be before all the football.


    I have fallen off the MM train lately. I am trying to get back on this weekend, so we may not go to the fair.

    Anniversary Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Friday: Picked up my dog and my parents dog at my parents house.  My dog spends the day there (we share a dog walker, saves a lot of money) and their dog is spending the weekend with us while they are away. I literally spent the entire night on the couch from 7pm on.  I did make arugula pesto pizza with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes

    Saturday: have to go teach yoga this morning, covering for someone elses class; get the dogs some exercise; maybe a little time with H depending on when he gets up, he worked until 1am and goes back at 2pm so he's usually not up for long; tonight I will do some cooking, work for a class I am taking, and catch up on some to-dos

    Sunday: teach my regular yoga class in the morning; get some work done for work, a continuing education class, and my other course; spend a couple hours with H before he goes into work at 5pm, and get ready for the workweek
  • I'm back! I've been super busy the last few months with moving, school, and family life, and then when I tried to come back before, I could log in to the Knot but not the Nest. Finally got it resolved, so here I am!

    Saturday: lots of errands to run today. I have to go to Chase because I applied for the Ink Plus card, and they said they couldn't verify my address since we just moved. So I have to bring them a utility bill. Then grocery shopping, homework, and a few other random things.

    Sunday: Hopefully relax, but I'll probably have some more homework before my classes on Monday.
