Yay Friday!

Less than stellar news about Mr. Ryley, but I'll post more on that later.  We're going to visit them on Sunday and do the friend thing.  I'm thinking maybe I'll try and squeeze in some cupcake baking time to help lift everyone's spirits.

Derek's brother and his gf arrived in the city at freaking 11:30 last night.  Boooo for late.  Derek and I ended up "napping" from about 8:45-11pm, which I think was a really good idea, since we didn't make it back to bed until 1am.  Today will be a multi-Starbucks day me thinks.

Tonight I'm off to Toronto for a girls/wine/bon voyage night.  Two of my good friends from university are leaving at the end of the month for a 4 month tour of South America.  Tomorrow brunch with ringy and kaesha!

What does everyone have on tap for this weekend?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Re: Yay Friday!

  • Must be GTG weekend - I'm looking forward to meeting up with sewatkins for brunch on Sunday!

    No other big plans though, just hoping to fight off what feels like the beginning of a cold.  And dinner for a friends birthday tomorrow night.

    Sorry about Ryley, raynes.  Cupcakes are always good to brighten the mood a bit.

  • We have reservations at Acadiana for Restaurant Week on Saturday.  Other than that, the house needs a major cleaning and the other random weekend stuff.  Or I might spend all weekend at work packing for this move.  It's insane.

    Sunday will probably be a cleaning day for me.  
     
    Have a great day ladies!

  • Tonight I have a Top Chef/wine night planned with one of my friends. We're 2 weeks behind on our Top Chef viewing so I'm anxious to get caught up.

    Tomorrow I have tickets to see Illinois take on sreihing's undefeated, top ranked Buckeyes. My tickets are 7 rows behind the Illinois bench and needless to say I am quite pumped. 

    Sunday - Packers/Bears! My house will be full of Bears fans. It should be a good time. I'm excited for this weekend. It will be busy but should be a lot of fun. 

  • I'm off today for a marking day! WHEE!
  • abarber- top chef is really good. I'm addicted. Richard Blais owns a restaurant in Atlanta that I go to frequently. So I cheer him and a few of the others. I'm also a sucker for Fabio. :)

    My weekend is slammed and it started earlier this week. A huge event is being held this weekend in Atlanta to mix the film industry and the design industry and my company has created a 'set' for Alice in wonderland. Anyone part of the event had to pick a movie theme. It's been fun but hectic to set up.

    I had a Bachelorette party last night which was low key but fun. It was also nice because i could walk to it. No drunk driving for me. Even though I only had a few drinks. 

    Tonights the wedding :)

    Saturday is a gala event for the design event. Black tie so super fancy. I'm excited. and during the day I have to be there for the open house for young kids and other people not attending the night event.

    Sunday-sleep. I'm exhausted already. but i have some personal design things to work on (raynes! :D) and some invitations for a friend so it will still be a busy sunday.

  • Tonight B and I are meeting up with some friend to go to a concert.  Tomorrow we're going to see our friends new baby, and then Sunday, GO BEARS!  Maybe we'll fit some house cleaning in at some point too, but otherwise I'm hoping for a fairly lazy weekend.

  • This weekend is all about football, that's pretty much it.  We're having people over to play with the new Beertender I got DH last weekend. It's awesome. I don't know what else we have planned. I just finished my last progress report so all I have to do is print everything.

    Today we're getting our fingerprints done for the adoption. Yet another thing checked off my list.

  • Other than brunch, this weekend is all about prepping the condo for listing. V is finishing some repairs on the floor today and we'll be spending the weekend cleaning and packing.

    I also have a friend's 30th bday party but we are going for dinner only, not the $60pp fancy schmancy club outing after.

  • Yay for Friday! This week has been crazy busy and I can't wait to start the weekend. I woke up this morning to some pretty strong lower ab pain and cramping. I called Labor and Delivery just in case and they said since I'm not exhibiting other symptoms I should just rest and come in if it gets worse. I'm at work and so far it's gotten a lot better but I plan to leave the moment it gets worse.

    We don't have much planned for this weekend except to go in and tweak our baby registry a bit. I plan to take it easy and rest as much as I can from here on out.

    Hope you all have a great weekend!

  • Today is going to be spent on cleaning (lame), tomorrow I have a 3 hour practice scheduled with a cheer/dance team I'm doing choreography for, and then Sunday we have an appointment to view what could potentially be our first home Big Smile  I feel like I need to throw some football in there for good measure haha

  • No Friday for me.  My Friday isn't until next Saturday.  Today finished day 4 of my 12 day stretch. 

    Today was more training at work.  Now I'm all alone at home (Mark has a meeting about a math conference).  I might work out, I might not.

    Tomorrow I work and then I'm going with my friend to order my bridesmaids dress for her wedding.  Sunday is work.

  • I just got home from work and I need a nap. Tonight we are hanging out at a friend's place, and tomorrow we are going out for lunch with other friends, who we haven't seen in a couple months. I'm excited.

    Sunday I think we are going to see Black Swan, since we missed it last weekend. Other than that, relaxing, cleaning, laundry.

  • Tonight BIL and his GF are coming over.  I think we are doing dinner and a movie.  Hopefully it will be fun.  It has been getting awkward lately because they have some issues (BIL is being an ass and maintaining this relationship with this girl who keeps throwing herself at him and he sort of hides it from his girlfriend...I don't know.  I LOVE his girlfriend and will be upset if they split up, but at the same time they have been together since high school and still sometimes seem to behave like high schoolers in a relationship...)

    Tomorrow I am going up to see my best friend (the one who got engaged on NYE).  We are signing her up for The Knot (yay!) and going to a bridal show on Sunday (which I am not all that excited about--I didn't even go to any for my wedding...I hate people trying to sell things...stresses me out, but whatever).  Other than that, we will go hot tubbing on Saturday night and have some fun cocktails and maybe sushi, so it should be a fun weekend!
