Re: Huzzah, Friday!
This week has dragged, so I am thrilled it is almost time to pack it in!
Today/Tonight: DH took of on the ship yesterday to head for Charleston, so a pretty quiet weekend planned. Probably just home after work to relax, watch a couple of movies and get some sleep!
Saturday: Working on a couple of Christmas presents, the to Johnson & Wales for the last of my series of cooking courses, "The Art of Charcuterie", can't wait! Maybe having dinner with a friend in the evening, or just chilling out at home.
Sunday: Christmas cards/presents hopefully polished off, Patriots game at 1PM, laundy and getting ready for the week- tres exciting!

Mollie- the game is at 415! DH & I took today off... slept in, and are now painting the trim in the bedroom (not that much fun) and then are getting the Christmas Tree.
Tonight- we are going to dinner with my family for my parents anniversary (I don't think they like to be alone)
Tomorrow- No plans!
Sunday- out to lunch w/DH's friend for his birthday and then watching the game & decorating the tree I think
Weird- it says 1PM on the schedule I have, so thanks for the heads up! I would have been super confused without the correction.

I checked on the patriots site once you posted because we've been planning around it all week!
I am actually super excited because I didn't think I was going to be able to make my book club holiday gathering tonight, but Ridley is feeling better and MIL has agreed to babysit until DH gets home from reffing at UMaine, so it looks like I will be able to go after all. YAY!
Tomorrow: Finishing our holiday shopping and making a trip to Trader Joe's.
Sunday: Swimming lessons in the morning followed by brunch for my niece's birthday. Then at 7pm we headed over to the College for the annual caroling event.
It should be a good weekend!
This week has dragged for me too! Looking forward to the weekend with DH at home.
Tonight- Going to register Eli for swimming lessons, then the normal dinner and dvr evening. Boring, but I love it.
Tomorrow- Going for a run, then taking Eli to try out a toddler gymnastics class through a local rec, then having friends over for a playdate in the afternoon. Probably going grocery shopping in the evening while DH and his brother workout.
Sunday- Family morning at home and then going to Portland for the Polar Express in the afternoon! So excited!
Today I finally got my hair cut! It was just a trim because I've never been there before and it takes me a while to trust a stylist for a "real" cut, but it feels great. I'm looking forward to a relaxing evening snuggled on the couch with my hubby in our "warm room" with the wood stove...and we may eat ice cream.
Tomorrow we're making what will (hopefully) be the last trip to Target for baby stuff before she arrives. I also want to finish X-mas shopping and mail the holiday cards. I may also do some more "nesting" type things around the house..cleaning, etc. If I'm really ambitious, I may try painting my toenails. I want red toes for the holidays.
Sunday- Church in the morning and then football, football, football!
Tonight- Leftovers for dinner, DVR'd TV and some beer with DH. Love it.
Tomorrow/Sunday- SLEEPING LATE!!!! Supposed to meet up with a couple of friends, but not sure yet which day. Also I want to give the house a good cleaning, get the tree up, cards sent out and shopping finished.
Tonight: We watched Barenaked in America... which was good...
Tomorrow: relaxing in the morning, then after lunch we are going to cut down the ILs Christmas tree with them... we are spending the night there... I know its really far away, but DH will finish cutting our Christmas cards and I am going to make the boys blankets to go with their chairs
Sunday: FIL is making breakfast and the boys will decorate the bottom of ILs tree.. in the afternoon we are going to a camp staffers going away party, she is leaving to do her mission for the Church of Latter Day Saints in Nebraska for 2 years and is leaving very soon.
Tonight- I am teaching an online Intro to Early Childhood Class. I had a chat scheduled with the class at 7 tonight. I am writing responses to their journals and catching up on emails. DH and I may watch Toy Story 3, it arrived as our net flix movie
Tomorrow- I need to clean and do some laundry, christmas shop and write out cards.
Sunday- see above.
Tonight: Got my hair dyed darker, and just got home to make dinner and wake DH to send him off for work.
Tomorrow: Returning to the salon to get a few highlights put in, I need just a bit of something more. I was going to wait but the hairdresser is awesome and wants my hair done before my baby shower. He is going into the salon early just for me. Baby Shower at 1pm...then who knows in the evening..probably going back through everything and showing DH.
Sunday: Hopefully decorating/nesting for Christmas and the baby. Will probably put the game on while I work in the nursery too....
Happy Weekend!!
We drove up to VT on Thursday and are here for MH's company holiday party, friends holiday party and lots of eating out with friends, and shopping, more eating, and wrapping up with more shopping. :-)
Abby was so stinkin' cute at the holiday party tonight -it's very family friendly and there were about 10 little kids. Abby was walking EVERYWHERE and showing off her mad skills on the stage - the party was at the Elly Long Music center. Seriously adorable.
OMG...so exhausted!
Tonight I picked up Taylor from daycare and drove to Portland for a cookie swap with some ladies that work in our SP office.
Tomorrow: we were going to put up the tree and I was going to wrap some presents and get in the spirit. But, some issues with the checking account now so no tree which totally takes me out of the spirit. I'm a scrooge right now.
Sunday: was supposed to go to Belfast to visit BFF and scrap/craft but since I cannot purchase ANYTHING, I cannot go anywhere because I'll run out of gas. Also means my mom has to drive down here if she wants to pick up xmas gifts she purchased on black friday, that I'm supposed to be wrapping.
Someone get to me to next Friday please!!
Little late
Friday: We did some shopping for MIL
, ate dinner, watched a movie, and baked cookies. Got nothing accomplished for ourselves, oops.
Saturday: Lots to do and not enough time to do it all. I have to make more laundry detergent and do a mountain of laundry. Then I'm going to my parent's house to cut down pine bows and making a wreath to bring to the cemetary for FIL. Then I'm going to a basketball game that DH is coaching, coming home to clean the house, wrap gifts, write out our Christmas cards, and start my shutterfly book. Then our nieces & nephews are coming over for our annual gingerbread house decorating and the nieces are sleeping over. I may or may not sleep tonight.
Sunday: Recover. Go shopping in Portland for DH. Dance class. Pass out.
Sunday night: Pray for a snow day.
