Re: TGIF!
I am hoping to convince DH to take me to Greenfield Village this weekend. He owes me a trip for our anniversary (that was two months ago) because it was raining that weekend.
I also finally get to start planting my bulbs!!!!! I have my layout all planned out, I just need to do it!
I also am going to watch the U of M football game and probably go to DH's hockey game on Saturday!!!

Busy weekend here, tonight is cleaning/prep work for James' baptism on Sunday, the dog is going to the groomer and I have to wrap up SIL's baby shower gifts. Saturday is SIL baby shower and Sunday baptism.
Unfortunately none of my scheduled fun will be outdoors, but I'm hoping to spend some time weeding out the back flower bed that's been sorely neglected this fall.
Tonight, I hope to get H to agree to go out to dinner.
Saturday is our busy day, M2M sale in the AM, haircut in the afternoon and a wedding in the evening. Plus it's the first time dd will be spending the night at the in law's and I am very nervous.
Sunday, I must clean, deep clean my house, it's a mess!
Have you found a treadmill that you like yet? I'm looking for one too and I just can't seem to find a decent priced good treadmill. Sears is having a sale right now and there is a Nordic Track that looks promising though...

No, that's the problem. We did a lot of research on treadmills and all I did was confuse myself. But, I think Nordictrack is out for us. They were bought by another company that now uses their product and slaps the Nordic Track name on it. DH read about people having issues. Of course, you read good & bad reviews on everything, so who knows. I think we might get a Livestrong or a Sole from Diicks Sporting Goods. Maybe. Deciding is worst part!
That's really good to know! I hadn't heard that Nordic Track was bought by a new company. I have mostly been going off of reviews. I think I'll just keep looking and doing research. Let me know what you decide on though!

I'm headed to Kzoo for WMU's Homecoming, I've gone each year since I've graduated (14th straight year). Perfect weather for tailgating & the game.
Sunday I hope to meet up w/some friends that live around that area, and also go to a cider mill that is our usual Homecoming weekend thing to do.
Of course catching the Tigers this weekend as well!
