Re: Weekend plans

  • I was hoping to do some fun stuff but my husband has been texting me all day about how sick he is. So, I have a feeling I am going to be mothering two this weekend.
  • Hosting a dinner party tomorrow night for F's birthday, so I'll be cooking and cleaning and keeping a curious toddler out of trouble all day.  

    We have no plans for Sunday and Ian and I have Monday off so we may meet my mom to shop for some winter clothes for Ian.

  • I'm hoping to spend as much time as possible in bed or on the couch.  And not work.

  • We're having my parents and my sister and brother over for my Dad's birthday tonight.  I usually invite my BFF who really is part of the family and whose kids call my parents Grandma and Grandpa, but whenever she brings her kids, she and her H sit around and party while Jimmy and I (but mostly Jimmy) are stuck entertaining her kids, and I really want to just sit around the table and enjoy my parents' company.  So I'm feeling a little guilty about excluding her, but whatevs, I'm drinking tonght.

  • My husband is ditching me for the long weekend to go visit his BFFFFFF and I feel a little peeved that he'll be off having fun while I'm stuck in freaking Reno.

    I am sure I will find some way to fill my time. I have apples I need to dry and I'll probably go on a bike ride and maybe to a new yoga class. And then there will be the cleaning and working, I'm sure.

    I did start reading the Harry Potter books (I know I've read some of them, but can't remember how far I got so I'm starting from the beginning), and I hope that my adoption book will come this weekend.

  • We're taking M to Vermont for the first time for the long weekend, and I'm so excited and praying he loves it.  He's not really into the outdoors on his own, so we've come up with a million activities and things that should be fun for him.  I can't wait to show him the ski area where I work and take him up the gondola so he can start to get acclimated.  We're also going pumpkin picking and to a cider days festival.
  • Performing in an opera tonight, running a 5k in the morning and going to a wedding in the afternoon.  Sunday = ?  Probably recovering from the other activities.

  • Groomz, you need to drink tonight and just enjoy yourself!
  • imagelisaiesha:

    Well, a comedic operetta actually.  And I'm just in the chorus so don't be too impressed :-)  It's super duper fun though and I've never performed in a show where people pay $40 to come.  Pressure's on! :-)

  • You can downplay it all you want, but I'm still impressed. You're like Andy from The Office. Turn your phone off when you're on stage, though.

    Hah.  Phones stay in the car.  This group means serious business. :-)

    I actually can't wait for tonight.  I love the rush of coming onstage and seeing the audience.  Weeeeee!

  • Kiz, your schedule makes me tired just looking at it.  That's a busy 24 hours!  How cool that you're going to be in an opera.

  • I'm going to do a one-woman show on Broadway and then a charity run while juggling kittens with cancer.

    Actually, I think I'm just going to stay home, but I wanted one-up Kiz.

    Yeah.  Holy fudge.  I didn't get home until 10 most nights this week because of rehearsals...I hope my dogs will still remember me come Sunday...

  • Lots of R&R.  Tomorrow I'll bite the bullet and go to Jenny Craig to get back on track.  I've been very very bad the past few weeks.  Then, I hope to take a nap, take Miles to the playground, go on a long walk with the dog.  Hell, maybel I'll even run an errand to two.

    Sunday - open houses and football

  • Today I went to a playdate with some moms from my local board. Tonight hopefully watching the Reds win. 

    Tomorrow we're going to my parents' place for a pasty making lesson from my grandma. Then we will eat the pasties. I'm so excited. Then we're going to take the kids to get pumpkins, apples, and cider. And maybe an apple fritter, whatever that is.

    Sunday will be groceries, laundry, cleaning, and football. 

    image Ready to rumble.
  • i intend to do everything in my power to go to the fair. this will involve overcoming my husband's strong urge to be lazy and watch tv all GD day.

    oh, i think there's a house in our neighborhood having an estate sale too. so i want to go to that. and buy some pumpkins.

  • lol. i'm kind of hazy on the exact definition of a fritter as well. i was slow to be able to pinpoint 'dumpling' for a long time too.

  • Family wedding tonight.  That should be fun.  I think we'll go to the farmers market and then Octoberfest tomorrow to drink some giant beers.  Sunday I'm hoping to have a lazy day.  Possibly watch a couple horror movies. 
    image
  • I don't know whether I should just announce you are dead to me or if I should weep for the fact that you've never had an apple fritter before.  I'm leaning toward the latter, but I'm too stunned to decide.

  • Driving to Buffalo tomorrow, restaurant week and hockey viewing with friends tomorrow night, Bills game with my dad and friends Sunday, driving back here Monday. Exhausting, but it's only our 2nd trip home this year and the last before my parents head south for the winter.

  • FALL FAIR WEEKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND!

    Also, my boobs are big and kind of tender.   I'm not due for my period for another week but I'm going to drink a whole lotta red wine just in case.  I have a feeling that I've just overdone it on the sodium lately and it's an early PMS bloat.

  • Kristen! Irons Fruit Farm has the best! apple fritters. Go there immediately.

    Tomorrow I have family in town (cousin and his FI) and will be getting extremely drunk with friends and I cannot wait!

    Sunday DH will be at the Bengals game and the Reds game and I will be utterly alone! I am SO excited for a me day. I'm going to take Fozzy to the dog park, do some at home spa treatments (poor folk style) and make pumpkin cheesecake.

  • Behold.......The Apple Fritter
