Happy Friday!!
TGI Friday and feeling like fall! I looove mornings like this, although my office is not heated accordingly so I'm still shivering inside.
Any fun plans this weekend?
I am going to be waiting eagerly for a certain disc from a certain photographer in the next few days!! 
Tomorrow I'm going to the church service at my high school's alumni weekend (it's like a class reunion but for all classes because the school was so small they can't support a one-class reunion, lol), probably see some old friends.
I also want to take Matt & E apple picking and get some stuff done around the house. And start getting my hoodies, sweaters, etc. out of their storage bins and washing them.
Re: Happy Friday!!
No big plans tonight. Maybe going to the playground this afternoon. Eli was supposed to start swim lessons, but it got pushed back due to low enrollment.
Tomorrow DH is going skydiving (rescheduled from this summer.) Eli and I will probably go watch. No plans in the afternoon. Hoping to get together with a friend, but we need to plan around Eli's nap time.
Sunday DH and I are running (or jogging really slow in my case) in the Trail to Ale 10K. Hopefully he won't have much landscaping to do afterward and we can do some fun family stuff- maybe apple picking or something else.
Tomorrow the boys and DH are going to Smiling Hill Farm in the morning and I am hoping that I can stay home, then around lunch time I am going to head up to Portland to pick up my Gram and take her to see The Help and get dinner.
Sunday we are going apple picking and making a fire to toast marshmallows with the boys.
It is Friday... and I'm due today! And I'm still pregnant!
I had a NST & ultrasound and she looks happy as a clam in my belly... and I've made no progess in the last 3 weeks. So I forsee a lot of activity this weekend.
We have a bat mitzvah to go to tomorrow if I'm still up to it-- then we might hit up the outlets afterwards since we'll be close by.
Sunday, my plan is to make that famous labor-inducing eggplant dish and go on a nice, long, walk...
My BFF stopped by for a short visit before work today!! yeah!! loved the surprise. Made my day.
Tonight we are going to Bangor for dinner with a few people from my work and their SO/DH. Should be fun to have a few drinks and kick back. Chris is driving home thank goodness
Tomorrow I'm meeting another friend from work and we are going to take LO to the aquarium in Boothbay Harbor. hope she likes it.
Sunday is probably groceries and sleeping!
TGIF! It's my first full week back to work (especially after being out for a day last week to get pumped up with fluids at the doctor's), so I am majorly struggling to keep up with the work on all front. So tonight's agenda is to clean the house, which I am hoping to do before DH gets home so he'll be pleasantly surprised.
But tomorrow I'm heading up to the Bangor area for a bachelorette weekend with a bunch of my clients turned friends. VERY excited for a weekend of fun and NOT work.
I'm too tired for this weekend LOL
Well, it's Friday and every Friday lately has sucked. IE: Allergies, accidents, and now I come home to find that my dog ate about 3-4 feet of our very expensive carpet in our bedroom. Goodbye paving this winter, hello replacement carpet
So, tonight, if my husband doesn't have a heart attack we're going to Mike's Clamshack with the IL's. Where I will try and be good since I know I'll eat a LOT on vacation.
Saturday - errands and then a cousin's wedding. Brr it's going to be cold and I have no clue what DD will be wearing now
Sunday - get ready for Caroline and I's trip to SC. I'm taking MIL's carseat with me so I need to learn to install in forward and reverse since the plane wants her forward facing. Errands etc. We leave at the crack of down (literally, need to be in Boston at 5am ) so most of Monday will be sleep time, hopefully!
My Dad and FIL are here this weekend to help with getting our kitchen prepped for our remodel.
I am in charge of making sure that the dogs stay out of trouble. I plan to keep busy with crafting. I have 2 friends due in December, their showers are both next month so I need to get cracking on their gifts!
I will also probably be getting out the fall clothes and packing away my summer stuff!
Best Friday Ever!!!
Today: I found us a house last night (woohoo!) so tonight we're riding over to the realty agent's office to drop off the check and pick up the keys. Kyle's been gone working in Mobile since Tuesday (living in a hotel by the airport with a 7 wk old and a cat? Yeah, I'm all set on that, thanks.) so this will be the first time he sees the place. We're going to offload the stuff from our cars tonight, then probably pick up some drive through daiquiris to enjoy back in the hotel room to celebrate.
Tomorrow: Not sure, probably back to the house to check out more of the neighborhood. I was hoping the movers would be able to deliver, but they weren't available until Monday- boo!
Sunday: LAST DAY IN THE HOTEL!!! Getting things organized for the move across the lake, relaxing, hanging out with my favorite boys. Can't wait to be in our house! Loving the warm weather down here, but I have to admit I really miss fall- everyone enjoy some big cozy sweaters, cider donuts and pumpkin flavored treats for me!
Happy Friday ladies!

off today, working Sunday :-(
Ran around this morning, lunch and sewing.
Tomorrow - picking up sand for our new walkway from freecycle (yay!) and laying low. Tim's been out of town so it will be nice to see him
Sunday - working while Tim runs the Trails to Ales (wave hi to him, Sarah!)
My weekend is meh...my boss left for vacation Thursday and won't be back until Tuesday, so DH and I are holding down the fort at the inn. Guests have all been great so far, but it's exhausting. We had a smoke detector incident at late last night and I didn't get to sleep until after 1:00 and I had to be up at the crack to get breakfast going, so I'm wondering how I'm still awake. I would love for my Friday night to include wine...and Weeds. The one bonus of staying at the inn is that the innkeeper has Apple TV, so we can stream his Netflix and started watching Weeds last night...we've been dying to see it and it has us hooked three episodes in.
Tomorrow, working...I only have one new set of guests, so hopefully I can relax during the day, maybe go out to lunch or something, since they won't be arriving until 5:30 or so.
Sunday, working again.
I'm jealous of all the fall activities you ladies have going on...I can't wait to go apple picking and get the first pie of the season baked...yum!
I'm being Whiney McWhinerson because my next day off is Wednesday and I have to go to the dentist to get a filling re-done
I worked today and then went and did my Glucose Tolerance Test after lunch. It wasn't too bad. I hope I pass
Tonight- we went to watch DH's cousin play soccer and now home for movie night.
Not sure what is on the agenda for the weekend. I need to start cleaning the closet in the baby's room
Today: Was going to head to Concord to meet Fishy, but plans got squashed, so just headed out to the library and the playground. Got the call that I've officially been re-hired for the job that I quit two years ago but never left!! No more part time contracts for me, woo hoo! I only have to go in the office Mon, Tues, Wed (7am to 5pm, eep), then work a few hours from home the rest of the week...which means I'm back to full time work and back to full time salary. Hooray!
Tonight: hopefully early bedtime for the kiddos, dinner and TV with a sick MH. A celebratory drink.
Tomorrow: maybe an early breakfast with a CA friend, then my sis & BIL are in town, so something with them.
Sunday: wacking some weeds in the yard (man, they are tall!), going through fall clothes, cleaning for MIL's impending visit, etc. etc. 'round-the-house kind of stuff.
Tonight Chris and I went to my agency's employee appreciation dinner. It's kind of an awkward thing, but it's nice that they do it - pretty unusual for a non-profit mental health agency to throw a big bash for their employees. Marcus spent the night at my mom's. Today's my dad's birthday/anniversary of his passing, so I'm glad she had Marcus to keep her company.
Tomorrow we'll go up to Rockland. Lunch with my besties, then go to my mom's. We're having a little reunion with the folks that helped take care of my dad and a little celebration of his life at her house in the evening.
Sunday we're supposed to go to a "meet the baby" bbq at a former co-worker's house. I'll see if we're up to it by then...this weekend's a little busier than I like them to be!
Whaddya mean laying low?! You've got a hot shimmy show to attend!
Yesterday was a normal work day followed by a normal Friday night at home being mellow. I finished some repairs/updates on one of my costumes.
Today is Mirage!!! Off to the theater for tech rehearsal at 10 this morning until 1-2. Back home to say hi to my parents & DH & James, shower, eat, get hooched up. Then it's back to the theater at 6 for the show at 7:30. (I hear there might be a few tickets left- buy today at $18 or at the door for $25. Doors at 7!) I don't think Adam is going to get to go though- we tried 3 different babysitters all with no luck.
Tomorrow I'll be recovering from the show, grocery shopping, and just hanging around.
