Happy Friday! TGIF!
Re: Happy Friday! TGIF!
Today: Abby is heading off to DC, while I craft all day. I'm working on small projects that have been sliding to the back burner. Tonight: I may talk Tim into going to Gritty's.
Tomorrow: swim lessons, crafty GTG, hanging out with one cool kid tomorrow night.
Sunday: church, electrical projects - changing out some sconces, photo collage project (maybe)
I'm excited for the weekend! I don't have to work and MH finished his finals on Wednesday and new classes don't start until Monday, so he doesn't have to study this weekend.
Tonight - date night at home: making slow-cooker short ribs, drink some wine and watch a movie.
Tomorrow - museum day! Before MH was in school, we used to hit up one Smithsonian museum every month or two for the special exhibitions. Tomorrow we will make up for some lost time. Probably get lunch out and hang out at home in the evening or hang out with friends.
Sunday - errands and cleaning. I would really like to sew. Every weekend I've wanted to sew, MH has needed the dining rom table to spread things out for his studies. Since that is also the best place for me to set up the sewing machine, I haven't used it once since Christmas.
Hi ladies,
I have been MIA. I have been sick for the past week, and this is the first day I am back to work. I still don't feel the best, but I have so much work on my desk I really should be here.
My weekend will consist of hopefully feeling better and hoping that the boys also feel better soon.
Other then that, we need to go buy scrubs for DH as he got a job at MMC. (yay 2 income family after 2 years). For those of you that work there, he will be on 3rd shift in R3.
Have a great weekend ladies.
Tonight: Bookclub as long as my dude isn't too crabby!
Tomorrow: My BFF is coming to visit. And I think Seth's BFF too.
Sunday: Maybe visit the old folks (Grammie and Grampie), hang out and play and snuggle and be fussy.
Busy as always
Today: Showing our house at 5, book club at 7. Get to meet my friends brand new baby girl at bookclub!!!
Tomorrow: Up and at em early. Snowshoeing with the outing club in NH all day. Little one and DH are going to Boston for MIL's b-day. Probably will be fall over exhausted after snowshoeing 7 + months pregnant.
Sunday: Showing our house at noon. Then spending the day with my two favorite men.
Tonight- not sure! Hanging out at home probably
Tomorrow- bodypump in the AM, then maybe HarpoonFest- DH's 21 yr old cousin may be staying with us this weekend and DH thinks he can keep up with him.... oy vey.
Sunday- brunch at my parents house to ummm.... announce some fun things
and celebrate birthdays!
TGIF is right!!! Work has just been ... whew, off the flippin' rails this week. So glad the weekend is almost here!
Tonight, going to a small dinner/baby shower for a friend.
Tomorrow, church/lunch/hanging out with my sister and the rest of the family.
Sunday, laundry, a long run, say goodbye to sister, not sure what else!
Nothing really going on this weekend. We've got to go and grab some babyproof things for the drawers and doors and run some store errands possibly.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to go to the GTG, just depends on naptime etc. I have a few craft things I want to get done for Caroline's B-day but haven't had the chance to go to the store so we'll probably just swing by to visit
Tonight- Going out for a belated Valentine dinner with DH. We haven't been on a date for way too long!
Tomorrow- No big plans. DH is off this weekend so we might go to Portland to find something fun to do with Eli and do some errands.
Sunday- Running the Irish Road Rover 5K and hoping for no rain during it! Relaxing for the rest of the day.
Yay weekend!
Today/Tonight: My boss is going to the New England boat show for most of the days with one of his sons, so I'm hoping the office will be super chill and I can get a bunch of organization work done, so long as evil Czech VP doesn't harass Preggo too much. Prenatal workout tonight, a little dinner and some movies to relax with.
Saturday: MILzilla is coming back through town from her trip down South so I will be playing hostess, sans DH this time. I have no idea what time she's getting in, but knowing my luck it'll probably be around 11PM. Super. As long as she shows up and isn't covered in raspberry pie, is wearing underpants and hasn't chugged 3 bottles of wine during the ride, we're on the right track.
Sunday: MIL wants to hit up breakfast, do a tour around town and hit up the Exchange/Comissary/Package stores to get some deals. Fine. Only problem being that I have to pay, and then she has to re-imburse me. Homegirl better have brought her checkbook. I'll probably point her in the direction of the sketchy Armenian liquor store before she heads up to Maine so she can stock up on Everclear on her way out of town. After that, I think I'm going to treat myself to a facial and a pedicure.

Tonight: Book club!
Tomorrow: Gym in the morning to make up for last Friday (which I missed because of the snow day and a horrible cold), followed by a strength training routine at home. We will also probably do our grocery shopping in the early afternoon. DH has a game to ref at night so the kid and I will hang out and play and then I will watch some DVRed TV when she goes to bed.
Sunday: Birthday party for one of Ridley's cousins followed by a whole lot of nothing. Actually, I will need to figure out what I am going to have for lunches and dinners next week.
Oh my goodness...has this actually happened before??!!
I have another laid back weekend ahead, but this time I am glad because I have been so sick this week and just finally starting to feel better. I am so over winter!!
Mollie - I laughed so hard reading this! Good luck taking care of the MILzilla!
Yes, although technically not all at once: she opted out of wearing underpants to our wedding, a decision that all other guests became uncomfortably aware of later in the evening when she was "gettin' low" while wasted on the dance floor (que mental scarring). The last time she came to visit, she put a freshly baked UNWRAPPED raspberry pie in the passenger seat of her leather-clad Audi and then drove it down to NPT in the dark, showed up on our doorstep looking like she had been killing chickens and was shocked the pie spilled everywhere. As for the drunk, well she's pretty much plowed most of the time. Lunchbox has pretty much gone COMPLETELY off the reservation in recent years.
Glad I was able to amuse with her shenanigans!

OMG I about died reading this...Your MIL sounds priceless!!!
I think I've given up on trying to catch up on all of the previous posts... it's been a while. A few weeks ago (3) DH & I decided to take our friends up on a vacation suggestion and it's been a little crazy ever since. We both have to get caught up so we can take whole week off so there has been a lot of working at night to prepare.
We're packing tonight. In the morning DH is coaching basketball, we're dropping off the pets at MIL's, and we're meeting our friends at 10am to drive to FL. Sunday-Saturday I will be sitting by the pool/swimming/floating, and maybe making a trip to Epcot or Sea World. We don't have any set plans and I can not say how much I need that right now, I'm so freaking excited!
Tonight: some work (bleh) and also go through the bins of Helen's old clothes to find things to pawn off on, er give, to other nesties with younger kids at Saturday's GTG
Tomorrow: sort through photos and stuff so I have something to take to the crafty GTG in the afternoon; no plans for the evening
Sunday: church (we haven't been in a while), and then I don't know...no plans as of yet
Monday night: DH's birthday, so I think we're going to go to Gritty's and get the Restaurant Week special
