Weekend Plans?
Looks like it might rain this weekend. 
It might be a good thing though, because I really need to clean and organize the basement because we have some peeps coming to town next Friday.
Tonight - clean, laundry, cook dinner, walk dogs, workout, relax
Saturday - clean the basement, finish laundry, put some stuff away in the attic, clean up the deck if it's not raining.
Sunday - I think i'll make brunch for DH. Then i'll make him help me finish the basement. I think we'll also grill some pizzas.
This weekend I also need to start and finish a wreath for my grandparents so I can get it in the mail on Monday. They just moved into an old folks home and my mom said it's really institutional-like and needs some "homey" things. So, wreath it is!
Re: Weekend Plans?
I'm really living it up this weekend:
tonight: walking around the neighborhood (since it's nice out for the first time in what feels like years!), then making tacos, doing laundry, and watching a movie/netflix.
tomorrow: sleeping in, probably a bit of tidying up the apartment, quick target run, and starting to pack for our respective trips to NY & MA. dinner at byblos or tacklebox out before heading to the black squirrel with some of our dc peeps.
sunday: sleeping in and being lazy since we won't be home together for a few weeks, maybe some brunch-y drinks . . . then a date at zaytinya (so excited for this as we've been wanting to go for awhile!) happy friday girls!
I am happy to have absolutely NO PLANS or responsibilities for the weekend, but here's what I'd like to accomplish (in no particular order)...
- Car is at the dealership (again) and I'd be psyched if it was fixed and ready to pickup tonight so I don't have to drive this rental all weekend...
- In serious need of a mani/pedi...
- Have not unpacked from vacation last week - lots of laundry to do....
- Pool time? Sad to hear it might be crappy... I'm hoping to squeak out a little time in the sun, maybe Saturday morning?
- Clean out and organize my closet - it was so nice on vacation to actually see all my outfits hanging up and I made a vow to clean up my crammed, overflowing with clothes I haven't worn in months (years, really) (and it is three closets, sadly, not one). This probably won't happen...
- Take KJ to the dog beach...
- Shop for new dining room set. I'm looking for a non-formal, pedestal type table that is big enough to accommodate 8+ with or without a leaf. Any suggestions where to go?
- Fit in some relaxing and cocktails where possible
Tonight: Not much...probably catch a movie or watch "The Wire" courtesy of Netflix
Tomorrow: Burke Lake for the train and a picnic with the kids; got a babysitter for tomorrow night so that we can go out for dinner with some friends
Sunday: DS's first haircut followed by the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate!
Tonight- meeting up with a friend for dinner and to catch-up on life.
Tomorrow- no major plans- workout, donate some stuff, call a friend I haven't talked to in a while, and watch the 6th Harry Potter movie. I'm finally catching up!
Sunday- Church, grocery shopping if we don't get to it on Sat., and church meeting late afternoon.
Planning Bio
Kind of a low-key weekend!
Tonight: hopefully leaving work early, and then chilling out with DH after DS goes to bed. Probably a lot of Pinterest time . . .
Tomorrow: cleaning, running some errands.
Sunday: possibly meeting my friend for brunch (she's coming down from Brooklyn), and then hitting the MoCo fair in the afternoon if it's not raining.
ETA: Actually, tonight I'm going over to my coworker's for a little happy hour! It's going to be on his rooftop deck (woo!) and my other coworker's new baby will be there (woo!).
TTC #2: BFP 12/17/11, m/c 1/7/12 and D&C 1/12/12
baby blog/cooking blog
Yesssssss! Greatest show, maybe ever.
Tonight: groceries and Chipotle- then home to veg, and work on (maybe finish) the top of a baby quilt if I'm lucky
Tomorrow: We're looking at apartments in the area for a potential move this fall. Then, out to celebrate a friends' bday.
Sunday: Vegging, quilting and TV.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Tonight: Friday Night Live in Herndon again. This is our go-to Friday evening early May through late August.
Saturday: Noontime gathering with Otto's family. Since I'll be "up north" anyway, squeezing in an hour for coffee with one of my BFs in Bel Air beforehand. May be going to see a friend's cover band (The Rise and Fall) at Ned Devine's that night.
Sunday: Nothing planned! The day is open to anything we fancy.
This is my DHs last day working at the design firm he's worked at for 5 years so they are having a happy hour. I'm not going though
I'm going to my brothers deck party
Tomorrow if it's not rainy I'd like to do 10 miles at Carderock. We havent been in a long time and the weather has been so nice this week
If it is rainy we'll go see Captain America finally!
Tonight- Leftovers, wine, and painting the master bedroom (perhaps wine should wait until we are done painting...)
Tomorrow- Run (I will get into hm training if it kills me!), Ikea run, putting together said Ikea, and unpacking more (only 25+ boxes to go!)
Sunday- The usual mass then grocery shopping (finally food in the house instead of take-out!) and finally seeing Harry Potter (stupid house taking over my life...)
Happy weekend everyone!
Tonight - probably staying in and relaxing
Saturday - back to school staff party (already?!?!?)
Sunday - no plans yet
And btw, I just added a new ticker to my siggy but don't get too excited...I'm still in the BNOTB camp! My 19 yr old brother has been training in SC since June and I can't wait to see him graduate next month!!! The only form of communication is a weekly letter.
Tonight: Relaxing, watching more Mad Men. We just got into it on Netflix a few weeks ago.
Tomorrow: 10-mile run, and then maybe the Farmer's Market with the kiddos. Maybe the playground too
Sunday: Party store for some stuff for the LOs' first birthday party and maybe a trip to Tysons. Not sure yet. I just want to relax b/c I've been feeling really stressed lately.
My ideal weekend: SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP and watch t.v. and watch a movie.. basically do nothing.
My planned weekend: softball tomorrow, yard work, digging up the tons of weeds that decided to take over residency in my backyard
Sunday: I'm in desprite need to clean my house.
I get up every day at 4am for a boot camp workout at 5:30 (takes me 30 min to drive there) and even though I work from home I really don't have the motivation or the time to clean my house. And of couse DH hate to clean and my dog... well, she makes a lot of the mess by dragging in grass, mud etc.
Tonight - Bowling at the White House! Actually, the lanes are in the Old Executive Office Building next door, but still - pretty cool.
Tomorrow - Errands, cleaning the house, and a barbecue with BIL/SIL/nieces.
Sunday - Party at a co-worker's. She is Brazilian and will be making caipirinhas, so I think DH will need to be designated driver for this one!
Baby248 - ETA 1/10/13
Tonight: Enjoy our free Capitol Deal Papa Johns Pizza and laundry
Tomorrow and Sunday: Spending the weekend with my brother and his expectant wife. I am so excited to see them. They just moved back from Arizona a month ago and it feels so good to have family nearby again. DH is skipping out on family time Sunday to go see friends so after we say good bye to family, the kids and I will have a relaxing afternoon together. We're thinking of peach picking on Saturday, so perhaps DD and I will bake on Sunday. I think she would love to learn how to make biscuits for cobbler...
Tonight: Cleaned up, hemming curtains that arrived too long...
Tomorrow: Need day plans... sick of sitting alone all week long, and don't want to do so on the weekend too :-( Hubby made sports plans I don't wish to join.
BUT, tomorrow night we're having guests from Serbia to exchange traditional meals. I am excited!
