What does everybody have planned for this weekend?
Tomorrow we're having our gardening party that we had to reschedule due to the rain. I really hope it's going to be 10 degrees cooler tomorrow than it is today. More would be better.

Re: Weekend plans?
Tonight we're eating Mike's special jerk chicken. It's soooo good.
Tomorrow, maybe the pool. Housework, and homemade pizza. We're making a black bean, chorizo, and cilantro pizza.
Sunday, checking out the church we'll likely join and that's about it.
Tonight we are having dinner with FIL.
Tomorrow we are supposed to get some much needed rain so I will likely stay home and work on my long to-do list of household projects. Sunday is wide open which I LOVE.
Tonight is the carnival and the funnel cake. Tomorrow - nothing. Sunday - nothing.
This will be the first weekend in about a month where we've had nothing planned, and I expect it to be glorious. I might convince my H to take me to see Toy Story 3, but other than that, nada.
Please Cali. Your plan is to cry because you don't get to see me and then seethe with jealousy that I get to meet Vinny

I'm hoping for a dinner invitation to Kristen's house.
Tomorrow night we're going to a dinner at the New York Yacht Club in Newport, while Ian stays with my parents at the beach house. Perhaps a long bike ride on Sunday.
We are having a little BBQ tonight. We are trying white BBQ sauce for the first time.
Tomorrow no big plans probably bake to death since it is suppose to be 103. I need to clean my closet but that is a long shot.
Sunday we are going to a Bastille Day art show a friend has some art in. There will be French apps, can't wait!
Well, I get to meet MOD. So there to all of you non-meeting Mod people.
Other than that, I will be obsessively cleaning and chanting to the gods of real estate to take my home, much in the way of Annette Benning from American Beauty.
I also am 98% certain that my brother is coming into town at some point. Therefore, I hope to meet up with him.
I want to meet Vinny. And Mod. Roar.
I'm grumpy because I'm supposed to have a ball game tonight, but I'm skipping it to go watch a basketball tournament that Heith is coaching at. There are going to be some very important career contacts there, and I need to go and schmooze them. I hate schmoozing. I JUST WANT TO GO PLAY BALL WITH MY FRIENDS.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
I have THREE separate work-related parties/events this weekend. Blech!
But tonight I have a cuddle on the couch and watch a movie date, so that makes up for it.
This particular ball would be a softball. I'm in a rec league.
But Canada doesn't discriminate-- it could be football..soccer..bocce.. we love all balls.
Tonight we are going to eat Chipotle. Their website informed me that their crispy tacos have an acceptable amount of carbs for me and I am excited to try them. I didn't even know they had crispy tacos.
Tomorrow is Will's music class, a trip to the fabric store for some fleecy stuff for the underside of a blanket I'm making, a trip to the yarn shop, and perhaps a trip to the zoo. Will has been asking to go all week.
Sunday I have to go in for monitoring. My growth scan ultrasound thingy today showed that fetuspants is measuring just fine (her head to belly ratio is good, and she's measuring a couple days over 36 weeks! and she's head down again!) but my fluid is way down today from yesterday, so they want me to go in every couple days now. If it drops any lower I shall be induced. Like, whoa. If I'm looking A-OK on Sunday then the rest of the day will be relaxification.
Tomorrow I am getting blood drawn and going to our local MLS team's game where I will see us get our asses kicked by LANDON DONOVAN and the LA Galaxy.
Sunday is World Cup final party with dips and apps. Mmmm Cesc Fabregas in beer dip ...
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I thought the World Cup was over.
We are farmers' marketing tomorrow and maybe seeing Toy Story 3. Sunday I'm co-hosting a bridal shower.

I am only sure of 2 things we are doing today- having lunch at In-N-Out Burger and doing an after hours tour of the Phoenix Zoo tonight. The rest of the weekend is wide open and hopefully involves avoiding melting.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Wendy, was this a date with Connor or a date-date? If the latter, do tell!
Vinny, have fun, Mod is awesome.
We had a sushi fest with friends last night. I went to pilates this morning and got my gut & butt kicked. Then we went to the mall so I could get a new fancy dress for a black tie wedding we're attending at the end of the month. Found a hot little number
Adam's bday is this week so I'm making a big fancy dinner tomorrow night. Otherwise, we're just trying to survive the muggy hotness.
