Re: TGIF!

  • For once I have zero obligations. It feels good lol.

    I'll probably wear PJs, order take out and read/play WoW all weekend.

  • I'm taking my friend to this class thing she has to take for her university Saturday and then we're going shopping.

    Sunday my friend is dyeing my hair for me.

    It's a pretty quiet weekend thankfully

  •  Nothing, R has duty today and will be sleeping tomorrow.  Plus the boys and I are still sick....:(

  • We're waiting on a baby. I had contractions for 10 hours the other night and I'm not progressing, the doc is just kind of waiting and seeing at this point because I'm in near constant pain.

    So yeah. This morning I'm drowning my back labor in pancakes and bacon. :) 

  • We're acquiring a long term house guest next week, so aside from a trip to the mall to likely exchange that gray comforter, I'll be home doing a deep cleaning.

    I should really go buy some wine.

  • I thought Friday would never get here.  Busy weekend for me.  I am talking a groups of students to this outdoor adventure park on Saturday.  I guess this place has white water rafting, zip lines, and all kinds of other stuff.  We are leaving at 5:30 a.m. so I will be on my 5th diet dew by this time tomorrow!  Then I have to do my duties as the alumni advisor with the other student group I advise on Sunday. 
  • Yay Friday and yay fall! We are going out to Arizona to see H's family for his birthday. I don't really want to go because we're moving in less than a month, and I have so much to do, but it should be fun times

  • T has drill this weekend.  I have a possible a meet up with a local moms' group (depending on the weather).  Sunday my aunt is hosting a Bunco party.  I'm just going to visit...not to play.

    Boo to pain but YAY to possible baby!  If you're feeling up to it, supposedly getting on your hands and knees helps alleviate the back pain.

  • Was wanting to do quite a bit this weekend, air show and day trip to Hatteras mainly. The weather is looking like it's going to be absolute crap though so we'll likely stick close to home base. Trying to convince K that we need to go The Lion King while it is out in theaters for its short release. He just has no desire to see it in 3D and is of the opinion that Disney is ruining a good thing. I just want to see it in 3D for curiosities sake and L has never seen it in theaters and I know she would get a huge kick out of it.

    Also making plans to make soup and bake brownies. mmmmmm?

  • We are going into Sassy Pants' class today to read a book and then have lunch with her.  Then we are putting a new ceiling in the bathroom.  We have a football game tonight.  Tomorrow is cleaning the house.  Sunday is Floatilla to raise money for the rescue I volunteer with.  For those of you who have never done a Floatilla, it's 500 people floating down the river to a giant party.  Should be a blast.

  • Nothing exciting. Weather is supposed to be crappy so probably just hanging around the house.

  • We're heading up to Maine early tomorrow morning to visit family and celebrate DH getting selected for OTS and a pilot slot (& to take a picture, but that's a different story). Its a very short notice trip, but I'm so excited to see my niece and close friends. I'm spending today packing and I'm giddy about wearing pants :)

  • I took the day off so I can finish power washing and staining my damn fence. The weather didn't cooperate like I wanted it to last weekend so I didn't get as far as I wanted to. It's supposed to be nice this weekend so I plan on starting on it as soon as I drop B off at school today until it's close to dark. Depending on how far I get today is going to be the deciding factor on how long I work on it tomorrow.

    I don't know what we'll do Sunday. I'd like to go to church either tomorrow night or Sunday morning. Then my aunt and uncle will be in town so I'm guessing we will have lunch or dinner at my mom's house.

    Such a party animal I am!

    ETA: This isn't weekend plans, but Mells is coming to town on Monday so we have a date on Thuesday and then I'm taking her back to the airport on Saturday! Be jealousE that I get to see Mells and her adorable daughter!

  • H and I have some errands to run and then we're just going to spend some quality time together.  He managed to make it so we don't have to move twice next year so I'm celebrating that small victory.

  • We are heading to camping with E's family this weekend. As much as I'm looking forward to it I'm also kind of bummed because I've been in a pitty party I miss my Mom mood and I kind of want to stay home in my pjs all weekend and do nothing but watch movies and cry if I want to.

  • Mr. Sookie will be working (boo!) so I plan on cleaning like crazy and making some freezer meals. There will also be plenty of relaxing going on, and maybe a bottle of wine and the Bridesmaids movie.

    That does help! Anything that seems to stretch the lower back area is good for me. My doc is a little concerned that I'm having these very timeable, long contractions but not making any progress. Says she rarely has a patient in "latent labor" for this long and that I must be uncomfortable. So right now we're exploring some options and, at the very latest, Caroline will be here Oct 9 or 10. I'll be 39 weeks at that point and she can induce at that point. Right now Caroline is tolerating the contractions beautifully and seems very happy in here, so there's really nothing medically she can do except let me labor on my own. 

  • Most of it will be spent out of town. Zoo and state fair tomorrow; bridal show Sunday [sister's modeling in it]. And LOTS of football.

  • Cleaning the house and waiting for any news about H coming home.

    Oh and wine.. lots of wine.

  • Nothing exciting that I know of yet.  R does have Sunday off so maybe we should go to the aquarium in Baltimore or something.  More likely, we'll sleep in ridiculously late with the babe.
    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • The movers are here today! Whoo hoo! Once they finish loading, we will do a deep clean, turn in our keys and all that fun stuff. We're spending the weekend in Seattle and having brunch in the Space Needle on Sunday then heading out for the long drive on Monday. We have a few stops planned along the way but it's still going to suck!
  • I'm so glad it's the weekend!

    My son has a baseball game this evening and then one tomorrow as well. Then, hopefully relaxing Sunday.

  • Styme, I am crazy jealous! Of both of you for getting to see each other, and both girls!

    H is home from a quick training, yay! We've got volunteering tomorrow, and then we're packing because we're moving this week. *happy dance for married BAH and no longer having to use H's single BAH where they made him use it* 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

  • Stan: Yay!!

    Styme:  I'm jealousE too!

    DH's squadron was given tickets to the Padres game tonight, so we plan on doing that.  Hopefully he doesn't get out of work too late.  DH was invited to go play golf tomorrow, so I will just be relaxing here at home.  Sunday we're going to the outlets. 

  • imageKiller Cupcake:

    We have baseball games all weekend, starting tonight. 

    I just finished working out, am eating breakfast, and then I'm going to call David's Bridal to ask and maybe beg if I can exchange my dress for a size up.  

    Is your siggy a joke or am I just blind?
