Happy FRIDAY!
Re: Happy FRIDAY!
I've learned that when you have a baby...weekends mean so much more!!
Tonight: Seth is working so Abe and I will hang out. We slept through bathtime last night so we will have a bath tonight.
Tomorrow: I think Abe and I will go visit Grampy and Grammy during the day. Then I will get groceries. Hopefully Seth and I can catch up on some DVR shows like Parks and Rec!
Sunday: Making food, doing laundry, hanging with my boys, watching Celtics and the Super Bowl. Go Clay Mathews! (who cares about the rest of them)
Today: Abby is going to DC, while I do a dump run, head to my interview, sew this afternoon, pick up Abby at 4.
Tomorrow: Bean e-store in the morning! (special opening!!!), breakfast with a friend at 10:30, lunch with girls at 2:30, Prep Kitchen fun!
Sunday: The boys are heading to Saddleback, while I hang out with Abby. I may pawn her off (hehehe) on Mimi for a bit so I can work on some taxes.
Today: 36 weeks down, 4 to go! Music class with my little man
Tonight: Dinner at JP's(Yum!) in Portland w/ friends.
Tomorrow: CPR class at 8 am, 2nd birthday party at Peekaboo, belly shots w/ SIL who is 6 weeks behind me. Dinner at ILS.
Sunday: I just want to relax!
Today: Work! Though our accounting system has been down since last night, so I dont have much I can do.
The rest of the weekend, I'm not sure. I tend not to stray too far from home because of the foster pups though I may take them to Petco to try and get some interest on them(they each have had over 300 views on Petfinder, but no applications yet.)
Sat we may pick up a shift at the greyhound shelter to help out and Sunday we will just be hanging out watching the Super Bowl and eating.
How boring!
Today: finish packing, pick up some yummy bread at Pigs Fly.
Saturday morning: DH is taking us down to Boston and Helen and I are flying to DC to visit my parents for a week.
Saturday afternoon: Helen and I will hang out with my parents; DH will wash the living room carpet. I think I got the better end of this deal!
Sunday: No plans, other than watching the Super Bowl for the commercials.
Exactly why I am watching haha....well and I bought 2 football squares at work so I'll be partly paying attention at the end of each quarter.
FYI the "puppy bowl" is on Animal Planet during half time and it's adorable!!
Tonight: Annual Community Celebration for work. Good food, good performances and just an overall festive two hours. DH and DD will come too so it is kind of like a night out!
Tomorrow: Gym in the morning to make up for the snow day on Wednesday. Then meeting some lovely ladies for a late lunch/early dinner at Buck's and some candy making at the Prep Kitchen in Freeport.
Sunday: Grocery shopping in the morning and then heading over to my sister's for apps, pizza and the Puppy Bowl, I mean Super Bowl
YAY FRIDAY!!! I'm doing a little dance in my head @ my desk, as this has been a less than magical week w/ my dear 83-year old boss and newly single 65-year old VP, ugh.
Tonight: Home to get a Long & Lean workout in, then satisfying my craving for (cooked!) sushi and getting an order from Tokyo House to enjoy while watching movies and relaxing with the catface.
Tomorrow: Looks like we're going to have another lovelyt wintery weather mix, so I'll probably be in the apartment doing some cleaning and organizing. Think I might finally take myself to see True Grit (so I can feed my bizarre obsession with Jeff Bridges, don't judge!) in the afternoon.
Sunday: SUPERBOWL! Even though the Patriots are out, I'm pumped to root for the Packers, and would love to see them squash Big Ben and the Steelers. Since we were just in Pittsburgh, thinking I might make a Primanti Bros. style sandwich in honor of the game and watch while being a little piglet.

TGIF ladies. I haven't been able to get on much, work is crazy busy for me.
Today: Going to buy a couple pairs of jeans after work. I can't quite fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans, and I am sick of wearing Maternity pants that I have to pull up every 5 minutes. Tonight I will hang with all my boys.
Tomorrow: Baby shower and then I am having a girls night out. Tickle is supposed to be playing at Thatchers so maybe some drinks and dancing. Who knows.
Sunda: Church, and lots of cleaning, and hopefully sleeping in a little since the boys will still be at Nana's.
Tonight: Hair appointment after school, then Eli's swimming lessons. One of my friends is coming to watch swimming lessons and then she's coming over to hang out while DH goes out with some coworkers.
Tomorrow: Eli's gymnastics class in the morning, grocery shopping, then off to Freeport for the candy making class. Hoping the snow doesn't get in the way!
Sunday: No plans except going for a run at some point. Looks like it will be pretty nice and "warm."
Happy Friday ladies!!
Tonight - supposed to be going out for coffee with a friend, my sore throat/sniffles aren't quite gone though so I will forgive him for opting out if he doesn't want to catch the plague.
Tomorrow - going to the dump. Oh yeah!! After that I don't know, I'll probably just hibernate.
Sunday - helping a friend dig out her porches, she has some serious ice issues going on and we're going to attack the ice with axes. Should be amusing! I may watch the Super Bowl and I will definitely partake in some snacks.
We're heading to Maine tonight-- it's my FILs 65th birthday and they are leaving for Georgia soon for about two months... so we'll be celebrating with them and wishing them safe travels. I made my FIL a red velvet cheesecake cake and I hope it turned out ok!
On Sunday, we'll swing by DHs grandmothers nursing home and then swing by my parents house to say hi to them (haven't seen my dad since the holidays since he works in CA).
Today: headed for Ikea!! Need to get stuff to finish up the kids' room and closet. I
Ikea. Tonight, maybe put up the shelves that I'm going to buy, but probably just taking it easy. I think I've gained a new cold on top of the old one for which I'm still on amoxycillin...either that or this is a new phase in the old cold. Either way, I'm sick of it (no pun intended).
Tomorrow: Groceries in the AM, then MH and I have tickets for the Sharks/Bruins game in the afternoon, where we're sure to get harrassed in our pro-Sharks gear.
This is our first venture into the world of a hired babysitter, so wish us luck! Finishing up shelves and stuff in the evening.
Sunday: making crab cakes, then heading to my sister's to watch the game.
YES I love the weekend. And I'm excited to actually have a few things to do.
Tonight: Book club, so excited for this.
Tomorrow, not quite sure actually. Spending time with my munchkin and around the house.??
Sunday: Baby shower, meeting Meg/Dev, superbowl.
Grades are due Sunday too and I have homework due... Hmmm. I think maybe Saturday will be busier than expected.
Today: Hanging out with Delia while Daddy is at school for the afternoon. I may try to climb into the attic and find my pre-pregnancy jeans, I have been dying to try them on since I checked out the scale the other day.
Cleaning, and just hanging out tonight...
Tomorrow: Taking Delia to my parent's farmhouse for the first time, hopefully before it begins to storm. It is really a special place for our family, afterall it's where DH and I shared our first kiss and where we got married. Plus she will finally meet several of her cousins, aunts and uncles. I can't wait!
Sunday: Quiet morning, maybe make some jazzed up cookies or brownies to bring to a friend's house for the Superbowl. Going over to watch the game, and hopefully make it the whole time, I'll have to bring Delia's pjs. Luckily they have a 6 month old, (Delia's FH
) so their house is baby prepped and accomadating. It should be fun...
Tonight- Not much. Probably quiet night at home.
Tomorrow - Caroline's last play group and then not sure after that.
Sunday - headed to DH's cousin's house to get all of their baby gates. Then, IL's are back from their cruise so they'll be coming over for dinner and I'm sure bringing some random thing back for Caroline. joy
After a full week of innsitting, I'm happy to be home again!
Tonight: H and I have a pretty sad date night - heading to the mall to spend some gift cards/use some coupons and then having dinner at Chili's (with another gift card)...wouldn't be my first choice, but it will be free and I love me some Presidente Margaritas.
Tomorrow: A rare Saturday off from work - we were going to go to the Pirates game, but got the Living Social email deal - 2 tickets for $15, but we can't use the voucher until Monday...so, we're going to hold off.
Sunday: Working in some capacity, but should be home in time to make some wings and pizza for the Super Bowl...we were supposed to have friends visiting this weekend, but Jury Duty got in the way, so it will probably just be H and I at home.
Tonight- it's BIL's 19th birthday on Saturday, he's coming home from Orono and staying with us tonight. I suspect we'll go out to dinner or cook whatever he wants.
Saturday- DH and BIL are going skiing, I'm going to lunch and candy making with some lovelies
Then IL's are coming to our house for dinner. Not sure what we are having. Again, up to BIL since it's his day 
Sunday- I have to work at 9am-1pm. Then we are having some friends over to watch the game. I need to do some housework in there somewhere.
Tonight- Being lazy. Catching up on some DVR shows.
Tomorrow- My bday is next Wednesday, but we're celebrating it tomorrow! In the morning I'm volunteering at the animal shelter. Then dh is going to drop me off at a spa so I can get a massage and some other stuff. dh didn't tell me everything I'm getting. I'm assuming a manicure. Then we'll stop at a bakery and get some desserts for later. Then going to dinner in Bangor. Maybe catching a movie (I want to see the movie Jason Stratham movie...he's hot, plus the movies looks pretty good too haha.) There is a band in Bangor I want to check out that's playing tomorrow night, if we're up for staying out late. Supposedly they play traditional Irish music but with a Rock-Punk twist. Sounds interesting!
Sunday- Doing taxes and NOT watching the Superbowl. I am so grateful my dh isn't into organized sports and only watches stuff like snowboarding, Rally X, BMX, etc. (which I enjoy too) I would go crazy if I had to have football, baseball, etc on the TV all the time! LOL Oh yeah, dh also has been trying to get me to go snowboarding, so we may do that on Sunday at the mini-ski center place in town. We'll see!
