Weekend Plans?
This week flew by it seems.
What's everyone up to this weekend?
Today/tonight - massive house cleaning. I didn't really clean last weekend because I was oot, so the house is totally gross as of right now. There are even tumbleweeds of dog hair. I am so grossed out. Maybe after DH gets home we'll go out for some drinks.
Tomorrow - grocery shopping, cleaning up the office, getting the fall decorations out. I think I might make some cookies too. If I do, it'll be these ones I pinned a couple weeks ago.
Sunday - Renaissance Festival! Can't wait. DH and I love that sh!t.
Re: Weekend Plans?
Saturday I'm having coffee with a friend and Sunday we're going to a b-day party for a 3 y.o. cousin. Other than that, I want to sleep whenever possible - I'm trying so hard not to get seriously sick.
I heard Art on the Avenue is this weekend in Del Ray. I wish could make it. It's a fun outing if any of you are looking for something to do.
my dad and his wife are coming to visit so I think we are going to do some of the kid pumpkin festival stuff with them. Plus, we have to get flu shots and getting pictures taken.
Tonight: Relaxing and catching up on The Office and Parks and Rec
Tomorrow: 22-mile run with DH and our running group. Last long run before the marathon. After that, just relaxing with the LOs. Maybe a trip to Costco
Sunday: Maybe a trip to the playground, some errands, organizing the LOs stuff for fall, relaxing, etc.
tomorrow: sleeping in! then more cleaning, getting DH a haircut, and maybe a little dinner date.
sunday: grocery store, laundry, and making a big batch of amatriciana sauce (had planned to do that last sunday but was too full, tired, and tipsy from brunch) happy weekend!
I'm so NOT looking forward to this weekend.
We have to drive up to Phillie (I-95 on a weekend, yay!) to go to a family reunion type thing for DH's family. So I'm going to to have to do a lot of talking, which means a lot of coughing. I'm still getting over my cold and have a crappy, hacking cough that gets worse when I have to talk for more than about a sentence. Also, it's just a day trip (due to weird issues with the ILs...long, complicated and super annoying), so we'll be in the car for at least 6 hours (and that's a best case, no traffic scenario). With a toddler, who probably won't nap. Awesome.
damn! you go girl....do you do that run with the kids in a stroller?
Renn Fest is super fun! you will have a blast. there is a fun "bar" near the jousting area that we had a good time at last year.
today: running, cleaning, meal planning....we seriously are running on fumes of food in the house. we've been trying to use up what we have and man the stash is even getting low!
tomorrow: running, running errans, shopping. hot sexy date night with DH...Buddha Bar and one last toast at Hawk and Dove before it closes
Sunday. running, apple picking and Va wineries with our crew. should be fun!
Saturday: 8-mile run, possibly with the kidlet and/or DH. Then probably run errands, grocery shopping, and hopefully the kid will let me take a nap with him.
Sunday: I have no idea, but hopefully something fun! Maybe go to a pumpkin patch if the weather is nice.
Tonight- grocery store and Chipotle. Trying to finish my quilt top and maybe start quilting.
Tomorrow- vacuum, quilt, sleep.
Sunday- maybe try a new workout class- has anyone tried the Hip Hop Zumba class at Jungle's Kingstowne?
Stand up for something you believe in.
I had planned to go to PA to visit family, but I had to call them today and postpone ... (TMI warning) Aunt Flo showed up out of nowhere today and that means I have to go to Shady Grove early Sunday morning. We already took a break last month to go on vacation and I don't want to wait another cycle.
It might be for the best because for the book I'm editing I just received the final 165 pages last night ... due Sunday evening. I'll be editing all weekend, but should get some breaks for sunshine, running, and anything other than staring at a computer screen.
Renn Festers, enjoy!!!! That's our favorite fall activity. We went 2 weeks ago and had an amazing time. I highly recommend the chocolate-covered bacon!
Tonight: Anniversary Dinner
Tomorrow - Soccer in the a.m. for me, then some chores around the house
Sunday: Soccer in the a.m. for DH, then just hanging out, watching football, etc.
Tonight: Fall Festival at DDs school followed by solo drive to NJ with two kids. Yuck.
Tomorrow: SILs baby shower. I spent 3 hours last night decorating cupcakes, here's hoping they survive the car trip.
Sunday: Possibly apple picking with my brother and SIL and then the fun 4.5 drive home with two kids. Hopefully DH will have made a dent in some house chores while we are gone....
Nothing much really, which is nice. We've had a few really busy weekends and have some more coming up soon.
Tonight: Dinner, gym, home to probably fall asleep on the couch early.
Tomorrow: We will probably go get groceries, or at least pick up a few things. I think in the afternoon/evening we are going to do the pumpkin beer tasting I have been planning. We have 12 kinds of pumpkin beer to sample, and I set it up bracket style to pick a winner. I'm pretty excited. Will have to think of some food to pair with all that drinking!
Sunday: Out to the winery we are members of (Fabbioli) to pick up our latest shipment and then relaxing a bit. Maybe the gym that day too.My Food Blog
I have today off work! I ran some errands this morning and as soon as Project Runway ends, I am going to do a bit of shopping at Tysons. Tonight, DH and I are going to do dinner and drinks.
Tomorrow we are going to the Ohio State gamewatch.
Sunday is football watching (Browns in the afternoon and Jets at night).
Have a great weekend!
Tonight- Unpack car from last night's Ikea trip an put together a couple things. Get to bed super early
Saturday- Wake up at o dark 30 and get on the road to NYC by 5am. Then spend the day with BIL and go to his birthday dinner
Sunday- Drive back in the morning and hopefully get laundry and cleaning done to prepare for trip to NM on Wednesday...Just typing this makes me tired!
Tonight: Hubz returns from Tokyo! Thank goodness because the pup and I can't stand it much longer.
Tomorrow: open house then driving to JMU for Homecoming... too bad we'll lose what with our QB suspended from the team indefinitely...
Sunday: church and hopefully finishing editing my Hawaii pictures because hot damn I have a few beauties that need to be shared!!
