Happy Friday!

Yay Friday!  I so need a weekend, even though it's going to be jam packed.

Tonight we're off to spend the night with Tim and Shannon and the girls at Shannon's parent's place, then tomorrow we're off bright and early to go camping with them and Tim's family.

Sunday we're taking my dad and step-mom out to brunch and then meeting up with ringy and kaesha and their men folk for dinner!

What does everyone have on the go this weekend?

Re: Happy Friday!

  • Good morning. I should still be sleeping but I have a screaming baby that only wants to be rocked and held.

    Nothing exciting happening this weekend other than having to work.

  • Woohoo Friday!  Just a few more hours at work, and then we're hopping on the Eurostar bound for a weekend in Paris.  No set plans, but just to wander around and enjoy ourselves.

    Have a great weekend all!

  • Good morning ladies! I haven't been posting as much but I do lurk every now and then. This weekend we will be in Austin the whole weekend for a friends wedding. I haven't seen a bunch of them in such a long time so I am really excited. Have a great weekend!

  • Good morning, ladies.

    Hoping to get off at noon (work permitting) to ride my bike.  We're picking up 3 pallets of paver blocks today for our patio - I can't wait to get that done.  We'll probably need another load of sand, and the yard needs a lot of leveling work, but I'm sure we'll get most of it done this weekend.  And I'm so thankful for electrician and plumber friends who work at a discount and don't mind hauling stuff for us. 

    Have a great day, everyone!

  • TGIF!

    Tonight I am just hanging with the hubby, and hoping to at least get a walk in.

    Tomorrow, DH is working all day, so I am going shopping.  We need a bunch of household items, and I need to find a dress for a wedding I am going to next weekend. (Seriously the last time I wore a dress was my wedding Embarrassed) So I have nothing that fits, and need to find something.

    Sunday DH will be working that night, so he will need the house somewhat quiet.  I will be packing the boys up and probably going to visit my dad, and possibly take them to a playground.

    Have a great day ladies.

  • Sleeping and drinking. Those are my plans. And y'all on Sunday night.
  • DH is off this weekend so I am excited.

    Tonight we are going to get groceries and get the last of the things jordan needs for camp. He leaves monday for the week. I am so nervous and excited for him.

    Saturday We are going to a friends baby shower (its a couples shower) and they have a swimming pool. Jordan is excited about that. After the shower DH's dad is cooking crawfish (yumm!) so we will go visit with him for a little while and give him his fathers day gift. Plus I will eat way to much crawfish I am sure. MIL is out of town so I am excited about getting to enjoy myself (me and her don't exactly get along).

    Sunday DH wants to cook steak and shrimp on the grill and hang around the house. Its a good thing since I have to pack Jordan for camp at some point this weekend.

    I am sure after this weekend my diet will be no good, but o well. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

  • Good morning!  Just waiting on the official news from my blood draw this morning.

    Today is another boss free day and I hope to make the most of it, since I moped in my office all day yesterday and didn't do a damn thing.  After work, I am going to the mall to investigate the Lush store.  I've been meaning to do that for months.  As far as I know we don't have any other plans this weekend.

    In good news, late last week I submitted my resume for a job opening, just to see what would happen.  They contacted me yesterday to set up an interview next week.  I'm excited and nervous.  I haven't been on an interview in over four years.  I may not get offered it and I may not take it if I do, but it's certainly nice to be considered.

  • Yay for Friday!  My goal for the weekend is not to work at all, but we'll see if that happens.  It will depend in large part on what happens at work today.  This evening, I'm meeting up with a friend from high school.  Tomorrow, B and I are ordering tile and vanities for our bathrooms, and then I'm going to sit down and finish picking pictures for our wedding album.  Yes, it's been almost 2 years, and it's still not done.  Saturday night we're taking my grandpa for dinner to celebrate father's day (my dad is going to be out of town).  Sunday will either be a work day or a lazy day, and I'm really hoping for the latter.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend!

  • Good Morning!

    I am really really really hung over today. And I have a black eye from where I hit my face on the toilette last night. I was in rare form, and I know I'm getting old when I'm embarrassed by it. 

    In other news, I'm still waiting to hear about if our homestudy will be accepted or not, but we are working on getting all of the required information sent to them. 

    This weekend we'll be making copies and putting together out packet to send to them.

  • Good morning! I'm in for a busy weekend but am definitely looking forward to it. Today I'm meeting up with my brother's FI for lunch. She's dress shopping with my mom and her mom before lunch and then I'll meet up with all of them. Then we're going to go look at a potential reception venue. Then I'll head back to work and they will continue dress shopping. Tonight we're all meeting up again, along with the boys, and we're going to an event that is like my community's version of the Taste of Chicago.

    Tomorrow I have the farmer's market in the morning. I'm not looking forward to the early morning but I am looking forward to some delicious produce. Then we'll have dinner with Kyle's family for father's day. After that I'm getting together with some of my MBA friends. They are always a good time.

    Sunday I'm heading down to my dad's house. We're celebrating father's day and my grandma's birthday (which was earlier this week). My aunts and uncles will all be visiting as well. It will be great to see everyone. Hopefully at some point I'll be able to squeeze in a nap or two because I slept like crap last night and am exhausted already today. 

  • Happy Friday!

    Tonight, DH and I are headed out to dinner. I wanted to be low key for my birthday.

    I signed onto our banking account today to see a fraudulent charge to my credit card. I am not sure how that happened since I have the credit card so I called the bank and they are already on it. How annoying!

    Tomorrow, I have a prenatal massage. I cannot wait. My body is really hurting this week. 

    Sunday, we are going to the Twins game with some family. It should be a pretty good weekend.

  • Happy Friday! We have a really busy weekend planned. After work today I need to go grocery shopping and get my house cleaned up and laundry done.

    Saturday morning my parents and my nephews are coming to our house. My dad is going to help J try to fix our sprinkler system and my mom and I are going to take the boys swimming. The boys are going to stay the night with us so I'm planning on getting some stuff to make s'mores, yum!

    Sunday J is going to Colorado Springs with his dad to see his Grandpa. I'm not sure why but J's mom and I weren't invited?? I don't think J's Grandpa is doing very good health wise. Then Sunday afternoon we're going to my parents to BBQ with my entire family.

  • Happy Friday,

    Tonight Dh & I are getting some drinks and dinner with some friends. It should be fun.

    No plans for Saturday except I should be working on my Grandpa's photobook.

    Sunday We are going to hang out with my parents for a little bit and celebrate Father's Day. I'm exciting to give my Dad his Father's day gift.

  • Happy Friday!

    No big plans this weekend. V was supposed to play in a charity volleyball tournament but the team backed out because we couldn't get enough players. Which gives us another day to do errands. Just looking forward to Sunday with raynes & kaesha!

  • I'm home with a heating pad today. I keep messing up my back, which is making for everything else to be super uncomfortable. Not sure how I did it this time, either.

    Tonight we have friends coming over to hang out and play games. Tomorrow is an all day graduation party for 2 of my cousins, and then Sunday is probably going to be catching up on groceries and things around the house...hopefully.

  • Reba - Congrats on the interview. Good luck!

    I also got a call last night from a non-profit I applied to. We're currently playing phone tag, so I don't know much. Ironically, the only time I've ever received job offers since DH and I have been together are when he's out of town. He leaves for AK on Monday!

    Tomorrow we're going to a summer solstice fair. They allow naked bicyclists in the parade. 

    At some point we need to put the house back together. Painters should be done today!

    Ha! I'm so glad you asked that. 

  • Morning! It has been a super slow day. Today is the last day for students, but I would say about 75% did not show up. So I have been surfing the net and cleaning up my room.

    Tonight we are going to a Farewell Party for a co-worker who is moving to NYC. It is at Lucky Strikes, which is a fancy bowling alley. Should be fun.

    Tomorrow we are heading to Jersey to celebrate Father's Day at my uncle's house. Sunday we will stay in Jersey to see DH's family.

    Hope you girls have a great weekend!

  • Happy Friday, all. A little late to the party, but it's been a doozy of a day.

    First thing's first: I decided to accept the new job. I was able to negotiate salary, but not start date. The people I was worried about here totally and utterly understood, and they really support this move. They've declared there's no way anyone's replacing me on this or future trips. We all cried. It was very crazy and cathartic. And the door's totally open for future outreach events if I wanted to use vacation time to do that. It's something I'm not dismissing outright.

    This weekend I'm talking with my little brother via Skype (he's living in Spain again this summer) and just relaxing and decompressing from these past four weeks. I also have a bit of work to do for an event that just finished here, but it needs to be done, so it's all good.

    On the way home from work, I will be stopping by the store to pick up some beer.

  • Congrats, Suzi!

    Today was a pretty good day a work but I'm pretty exhausted from 2 7am shifts in a row and I'm really looking forward to sleeping in this weekend.  Pancakes for dinner tonight and I'm hoping to get a run in.

    Tomorrow we have the inspection at our new home in the morning and a friends birthday party at night.

    Sunday should be low key except for dinner.  We're having my Dad, his gf, my brother, and the ILs over for Father's Day. 

    Not sure which day (whichever is cooler) but I plan on a long run sometime this weekend.

  • Happy Saturday (I'm a bit late...)

    I am at my parents' house.  I came up yesterday after school and had dinner with a friend from high school that I haven't seen in 6 years.  That was really fun.  Today I am just hanging out and then tonight is my 10 year high school reunion, so that should be really fun.  Tomorrow I will do brunch with my dad and then head home.  Overall it should be a nice weekend!
