Weekend plans...

Hidy Ho!  Any good weekend plans?  A friend of mine called last night to ask if she, her H and 4 yo son (who may or may not be freaked out by dogs) can stay with us this weekend.  Of course, I said yes.  But I also reminded her of Mabel, and the fact that we'll be watching football all weekend.  J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets!!!  (I know they'll likely lose, but I'm hoping it'll at least be a decent game).

Re: Weekend plans...

  • As I mentioned earlier in the week, Mr. Garlictits will be out of town all weekend, so the dog and I are having some good girl time.  I plan to cook food that I like and the H doesn't, watch Toy Story 3 that Netflix delivered this week, and generally enjoy the peace and quiet.  The fact that its a 3 day weekend is just added bonus. 

    Oh...and there will probably be wine involved in all of the above.

  • a lot of football, eating and drinking.  and I hope you're right about the Jets losing!

  • We are going to a new car show tonight, and going out to dinner for our anniversary tomorrow night.

    Our anniversary is Monday so we both took the day off.  Not sure what we'll be doing but we'll figure out something.  We decided instead of going away for our anniversary this weekend, we'd save some more $ and go to Las Vegas in March.

  • We are apparently getting a snow storm tomorrow so we plan on doing nothing but we may take B out in the snow for a bit to play.

    Sunday I am not sure yet. Maybe grocery shopping or something along those lines.

  • Well it appears I have a UTI.  So I will be visiting the urgent care tonight.  I never get them but have had two this year.  This is what happens when you stand on your head after sex.  (I was desperate, okay.) 

    Other than that I have no plans expect to pack for my trip next week.

  • Playing outside in the snow, trying to replicate mushrooms neptune from The Keg and cleaning out the spare room to get started on lila's big girl room.

  • Tomorrow Ian has his first haircut.  Then, we're having some friends over to watch the football games so I've got some cooking to do.  Sunday will be more football watching.

    Ian and I have Monday off and we'll probably go pajama shopping for him.  I have the worst time finding jammies for him. 

  • We'll be huddling for warmth until Sunday probably.  Feel free to make fun of me.  I've been in a virtual training with some people outside of Edmonton and they've been hearing our weather announcements all week, so I'm used to it by now.

    I'll probably make some red beans and rice tomorrow morning and then we'll be lazy and watch movies all weekend.  We were thinking of going to the observatory Saturday night but gah it's cold.

    I might make some Mardi Gras decorations for our door and porch.  I'm ready to get started but Easter is so late this year, so the parades don't start for another few weeks.

    Oh Dawg.

    Three.Day.Weekend!  Woohoo!  I have no plans except for tonight.  Our friend is playing a show at a little cafe near our house, so we're going to go see him.  I expect to spend the rest of the weekend doing as little as possible.  And playing lots of Mario.

  • Watching football, mostly. On Saturday one of us will take Will to music class. A friend of mine is in town with a traveling children's theater thing, and we might get together after his play on Saturday. I haven't heard back from him about his plans yet.

  • Tonight: fancyish bar with lots o beers and cheese/meat plates or whatever.  Tomorrow: lunch + shopping + bar hopping + sleepover + hopefully a sweet ass brunch the next day.
    Sunday: do a little dance because I'm off Monday and it's not the last day of the weekend.
    Monday: most likely Indian buffet for lunch.

  • I took the day off work.  Just went to the gym, I'll probably spend the rest of the day cleaning, shopping, and maybe reading or watching a movie.  Tomorrow I'm planning a girls day.  A fun bar/restaurant district in town is having something called the "Ice Carnival" which is going to include a ton of fun events.  We'll be doing a lot of eating, drinking, shopping, and whatever random fun they have going on:

     We're also getting a hotel room down there at a new luxury hotel that I've been DYING to have an excuse to stay at, so I'm pretty excited.  I love girls weekends.

    Sunday we'll probably laze around the hotel drinking mimosas until check out, then that afternoon I'm going to my Mom's house to celebrate her birthday.

  • I am attempting a girls weekend at the Russian River. Me and two girls from my book club and scooter club. They are best friends so that is a little nerve wracking but I am optimistic. I've never really been good at girls weekends

     Why do you say that Mod?  I live for girls weekends.

  • I've just never really done them. two or three in law school. since moving here in 1997 I have maybe done 3? And other than the two with my bf (both more than 5 years ago) I am always the third wheel as I am not as close to the other girls as they are each other, which is okay but can be odd.

  • One morning we're going to try to make it to a restaurant nearby for brunch.  They have a poached egg dish that I love and haven't eaten in forever.  Some college friends are in town for the weekend, and I think they're going to come over Saturday afternoon.
    image
  • We're going to VT this weekend, and I'm so excited.  I'm teaching my first two adaptive ski lessons of the year this weekend, and M is taking his first real ski lesson on Saturday!  I'm hoping he loves it and wants to see with me some on Sunday afternoon (I'm teaching in the morning).  We'll see how that all goes before we decide if we'll trudge out to the mountain again on Monday, but I'm a ball of wishful thinking!
  • We're going to go spend way too much at IKEA and finally get our office done and put back together.  There is office stuff all over the frickin' house and it's driving me batty.  The trip will most likely include a feast of Swedish meatballs and lingonberry sauce.  Yummmmmmmm.

    I'm sure we'll go to the dog park at least 3 times.  Renzo lurves it there.

    And I'm sure I'll cough until I can't breath a couple more times.  I've already done it once this morning at work (awesome).

  • Going to a fancy Belgian beer bar place for frites and beers. Yum. Also watching foozball. I'll be rooting for the Jets by default.

    Are those mushrooms stuffed with crab?

    What are your plans for her room?

  • I think it's going to be a football weekend. Pete's going to the game on Sunday so I get to stay home with the kids and marinate in a dirty house! YAY!

    My house is so trashed right now, I don't even know where to start.
    I should clean it... but I'm overwhelmed. Have I mentioned my Christmas stuff is still up? My tree is brown.

    Maybe I should consider cleaning my house...
    That's embarrassing.

  • We are taking our labor and birth prep classes this weekend and I'm bummed that it means I'll miss the Bears game.

  • Saturday we'll go cross country skiing. Sunday probably cleaning and football.

    My H and I have the day off on Monday but I think we will both plan on working so we can take off later in the week and go downhill skiing. I have limited ski days left and I'm trying to take advantage.

    Also on Monday, I have my first big appointment with the RE. Ultrasound, injections and I have to pay them lots of dolla dolla bills. I may shed some tears that day.

  • Tonight I'm making homemade pizza. Tomorrow Mike is painting our family room and bathroom. Whee! Also the usual laundry, grocery, housecleaning. This place is a pit.
    image Ready to rumble.
  • The y have cream cheese and stuff, too, but I think there's some simmering in wine first.   I love these little suckers, could tAKE A WHILE TO PERFECT.

    wE HAVE THE FURNITURE FOR lILa's room, but the only bedding i like so far is at Target,   May have to get to Buffalo in teh next few weeks.

  • Tonight we're going to dinner and to see Little Fockers with some friends. Tomorrow I work and then we might go to dinner with some other friends and hopefully I can come home and veg and H is going to the bars with them. Then Sunday getting my hairs cut (my friend was in a bad accident a few weeks ago and all proceeds are going towards his medical bills) and cleaning the house. Back to work Monday but hopefully H will start working on the nursery. We're adding a pocket door between our bedroom and that room and it's going to be a dusty mess for awhile so we need to get it started.
  • Baking cookies with Bug this afternoon, just because. Saturday I have a gardening class (citrus gardening, mostly because I want to know if it's feasible with our space), then that evening I'm dropping off food for a new mama and meeting the babe. Sunday we're going to my mom's. I'm excited because my aunt is up from Fresno, less excited because my sis has been a total control freaky twat waffle every time we're there.

    Pdxria- I was thinking the pizza like I made you. Do you think it's a good fit?

  • Mouse -- are you delivering to Darlicity or Ducks?  Also, I need halp thinking of ideas for Ducks.  I can never think of what to make veterinarians.

  • Ducks, but I'm doing Darla Tuesday.

    Pastas are good.

    Quiche?  A has a really good recipe too.

    Veggie chili? I'm personally a fan of TJ's boxed cornbread or you could do baked potatoes.

    Soup?

    Mind, I haven't made any of these, they've been sitting in my rainy day folder. I don't tend to do dinners that transport well.
