Re: Weekend plans?
Tomorrow - My niece's 1st Birthday Party!!! Once all the guests leave we'll celebrate my sister's birthday as well since they are only 3 days apart.
Sunday - My mom, my youngest sister, and I are taking my middle sister out for brunch. I specifically booked our reservation for 12:30 so we could order mimosas.
Saturday - We're helping some friends move :-P Disadvantage of having an enclosed utility trailer and a truck... we get requests often. In my head I'm like "Ok, we're in our 30s, lets move past the whole "help me move and I'll buy you pizza and beer" thing and actually hire movers, but I don't say that out loud
Sunday - Heading down to DU to watch a hockey game, it's the Avalanche's intra-squad scrimmage. Yes, we're total hockey nerds that go to ALL the preseason stuff we can. Guessing we might get some lunch or something while we're down there.
Saturday/Sunday - dog sitting for a friend so there will be mayhem and an overload of huge doggies (our one, plus their two). Hopefully they will tire each other out and we can get some yardwork done.
Saturday - we are going to buy a tree for our front yard and I have a yoga workshop for a couple hours in the afternoon to attend. DD has cheer clinic in the morning.
Sunday - Yoga workshop again in the afternoon, other than that I'm not sure.
Saturday - get new grout color, touch up paint in the bathroom, grocery shop, errands, DD#1 has a birthday party, dinner with DH's parents
Sunday - meal prep, laundry, Bills game, hopefully make a few quilt blocks, relax
Fri- We got free tickets to an art/charity event. We will have some good food, open bar and enjoyment of pretty art. It is close to our house too so we may get home early enough for some TV time.
Sat- Volunteer work in the morning and a bonfire at a friend's house in the evening.
Sun- Free bike rentals in the city so I will try to convince H to do that with me. And then football watching.
Last night-I went to dinner with some friends from the program. Then we went to a bar; I joined and did my best to play pool until 10:00 and then went to the hotel and crashed.
Today-Get some work done, hit the gym or go for a nice long walk, probably dinner in the evening.
Tomorrow-Same as today!
My weekend has been extra fun because I am on vacation
. I've been toodling around on here because I am waiting for my H to wake up.
On Friday, we did a tour of 11 of the 16 sites on Boston's Freedom Trail. Then we visited two more on our own.
I rented a car for Sat. and Sun. We went to Salem on Sat., despite my H repeatedly saying he didn't want to go to Salem before we got here, then he changed his mind. We went on various tours, including the House of the Seven Gables.
Sun. we went to Portsmouth and did a couple tours there.
I'll give a bit of a more blow-by-blow of the trip on my return. We fly back tomorrow (Tuesday)
