Friday Friday!
What are your plans this wknd?!
___________
Today: I'm leaving work at lunch to drive 2.5/3hrs back to my hometown. This is the first time since I don't know when that Ben isn't also coming home....which means I'm TOTALLY stopping at the outlet mall on the way! Ha, can you tell I'm siked?!
Tomrw: Run w/mom; going with bf to pick up my BM dress for her wedding and she's going to try on my veil w/her dress to see if they work together; we're going to get the length of my dress altered (interesting: she had us get traditional tea length (so calf-length) dresses; but we're paying (as far as I know, the BM is paying for theirs) to have them altered to knee length.
Also decorating cupcakes w/my mom and aunt and doing last minute errands for the bridal shower we're throwing for bf on Sunday.
I'll also get together with some of my hs gf's who live out of town but are in town for the shower.
Sunday: Shower day! I'm hoping everything comes together! Then drive home to Chi.
Re: Friday Friday!
Today...Errands (im on the hunt for the alarmclock for my niece's room and a gift for his cousin for graduation (boys are so useless sometimes)
tomorrow: Lauren's grad party in northern MA at 12, Niece's bday party in southern coastal MA......AHHHHHHHH
Sunday? Who knows? move a couch? do laundry? get my car fixed....idk
Getting fit for IVF!

Today I am working my normal schedule 8-4:30, then just heading home after work. We got the movie "The Fighter" through Netflix so I'm hoping to get in my pajamas asap and find myself a comfy spot to watch that. Jason typically likes to drag me to parties on Friday nights but if he asks tonight, I'm refusing to go. I felt like I drank/partied way too much Sunday and Monday when my friends were in town so I just want to have a relaxing night at home.
Tomorow is my Dad's 64th Birthday so after he finishes teaching, we're meeting up with him and my younger sister downtown to go to an arts festival and then grab dinner somewhere.
Sunday we've got nothing planned and I'm very excited about it.
Overall it seems like it's going to be a pretty chill/relaxing weekend which I'm looking forward to.
Tonight: Rehersal & dinner for wedding tomorrow
Saturday: I'm a BM in one of my BM's wedding. It's supposed to rain, blah! At least it's only supposed to be in the 70s, as wearing satin when it's hot sucks! FTR I'm going to be so miserable in this dress, it's pink, satin, and strapless which is a triple strike for me. Also it is ridiculously tight, eh breathing is overrated anyways.
Sunday: Work on house, probably ripping up more carpet and maybe some yard work
Trip to Prague & bring home furbaby when we get back

Tonight: Going home, bbq-ing some chicken; and vegging.
Saturday/Sunday: The yard needs some work, so I hope the ran holds off long enough! I may also take the dog to get her nails clipped. I can't do it at home, she's far too excited!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermDH left this morning to go to a bachelor party so I'm pretty much alone this weekend - not sure if that's good or bad yet.
Today I'm going to get my eyebrows done @ 4 - thank goodness. Then I have to run a bazillion errands - groceries, target, michaels, gas, bank. Then I'm going to go home and get a (probably late) dinner, and do laundry.
Saturday I'm hoping to go for a run with my dad, then run to the post office quickly. Then I have to pack because...
Sunday I'm driving to Philly and meeting up with my MOH and two of my old coworkers (I used to work outside of Philly) and we're going to the NKOTBSB concert Sunday night! hahaha. I'm so excited to relive my youth!
Then I have off on Monday so that's still my weekend I guess. My MOH and I are going to bum around maybe shop a little and then I'm hoping to meet up with one of my old coworkers around lunch time before driving back home (3 hr drive). And I'll finally see DH Monday night

Today and tomorrow we are working on laying brick for our driveway. Currently we just have two cement strips for a driveway. We are putting brick in between the strips and if we have enough brick leftover (all of our brick has been donated by various family and friends) we are making an extra parking spot on the left of our driveway. I will post pics when finished!
Sunday we will probably wrap up the driveway project if needed. I have graduation at the school I work at. And we might have my nephew sleep over since I have to babysit him all day Monday.
Becca- have fun at your concert!! I remember you talking about it a while back!
Christie - Oo! like "old-fashioned" brick paved streets style?!

Today: I'm outta work at 5, so I'll head home and probably just take Papa for a walk then make some dinner. Then probably making it a lazy night.
Saturday: Dave's working all frikkin weekend, but at least he'll be sleeping at home. So I'll be working on the house all weekend, there's enough projects to keep me busy.
Sunday: I'll still be working on the house, and taking Papa to obedience class again. That's about it.
Today I am working the normal work shift, then having a date night with H! Excited since we haven't done this in soo long. Thinking of going out to dinner, and then maybe a movie? Oh and I just started reading Water for Elephants and am in love with it so far so I definitely need to include some reading time in my weekend!
Saturday&Sunday: Probably do some shopping around with mother in law. or go visit my parents. H works graveyard so he sleeps thru the weekends so i get them allll to myself, sometimes good sometimes bad thing. Sunday I will probably lay around, clean, and do laundry, nothing exciting
We leave tonight at 5pm for West Virginia. One of my cousins is getting married tomorrow so we'll be there for the weekend. Travelling home on Sunday afternoon.
I'm super excited to see everyone for such a positive reason for once! I can't wait to party!!

Becca- have fun at the concert! I'm going to the Fenway show next weekend.
Megan - I hope you get to sneak in an uneventful weekend before Carter shows!
I just got back from another 24-hour work-related trip to DC, so we're chilling tonight. Fajitas and margaritas, I think. Tomorrow, we're going to go suit shopping, since my husband has a job interview on Monday. And then we'll grab dinner somewhere downtown. (We were going to go out on Wednesday for our 8 month anniversary, but then the tornadoes hit, and well, that went out the window.) Sunday, we have tickets to a Sox game. It's an afternoon game and the weather looks perfect - sunny & 70 - so it'll be a good time.
