Weekend plans?
Have we done this already? Oh well if we have. We need more threads.
The ILs are FINALLY leaving today, so I will need to get rid of all evidence of them from my house tomorrow.
Saturday we are having friends over and they will be spending the night. It started out as just one couple, then my husband invited several other couples. Several weeks ago, it was sounding like we were having at least 5 couples at our house, some with kids, most spending the night. However, the closer it comes, the more people are hemming and hawing about it. I have had several people all but say, "if we don't find anything better to do, we will come." Gee, thanks. Now, it is looking like, and I really hope it stays this way, that it will just be the original couple coming. So, that is my novel about how we are having some friends over.
Sunday and Monday, I plan on getting my house put back together (assuming I don't get carried away on Saturday night).
Re: Weekend plans?
Zane's parents came in town yesterday, so we have their big family Christmas tomorrow night and will most likely spend Saturday with them as well. Saturday night, we plan on putting Ethan to bed and drinking wine in our pjs on the couch until the ball drops. We're hardcore partiers, clearly.
Tonight, dinner with friends. I'm pretty excited because the places has Chicken Francaise.
Tomorrow, shopping with some hooker I met on the internet, then we're going to meet more internet prostitutes and have dinner or work the corner or something.
Saturday I have a few options but I'm thinking more and more that I'll stay home. I'm still coughing a lot, especially at night, and I'm tired. So we'll probably get some good champagne, maybe make some fancy foods, and hang at home. Maybe see a movie. Who knows.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Saturday we're going snow tubing at a man made snow thingy downtown. Here's hoping Connor won't be a wienie. Kevin has to work 12-12 that day (but there will be zero people there) so I'm debating actually packing Connor into the car and hanging out with him there as opposed to staying up by myself. That's crazy right?
Sunday I'm doing a new years day race.
TODAY IS MY LAST DAY AT WORK! It was supposed to be tomorrow, but my boss isn't going to be here, so she is collecting my shizz today so I don't have to come in tomorrow.
Meeting some internet strangers for dinner tomorrow night. We're having Christmas with my parents this weekend, they're coming out Saturday morning. Not really doing much, just hanging around the house probably. I doubt I will be able to make it to midnight.

Where is "there?" The police station? If there is a place that Connor could lay down when he gets tired, I don't see the harm in that. I mean, it is a pretty safe place and all.
like a cot in one of the cells.
It was New Years Eve, babe, iiiiiin the drunk tank ...

11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Oh where ya staying? I'm jealous.
Tony had his surgery today and I'm waiting for him to come home. I predict an exciting weekend of us both on bed rest.
In this case, the "police station" is an office in a closed community college campus. It would literally be Kevin and the dispatcher and possibly one other officer or security guard. I'm pretty sure they watch movies 8 hrs a day when the campus is closed. More likely than not we'd just sit in the car so Connor could snooze in his carseat.
Tomorrow, watch DD since her school is closed.
Saturday-Sunday, IDK. I really need to unpack, repack and get the house together.
That does not sound fun at all. I'd honestly rather stay home alone than drive somewhere just to sit in a car with someone.
I am pretty excited about a 4 day weekend.
Tonight cooking and cleaning (maybe). Tomorrow I'll do some more cleaning and then dinner and drinks. Saturday, I think we are just going to get some sushi and champagne and maybe watch some movies. I am in need of some good Netflix recommendations.
Sunday and Monday I am planning on a whole lot of nothing. Monday some cooking for the week, but that is really it.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Haha, I was just thinking the same thing. I guess it'd depend on the weather. I'm picturing sitting in a freezing cold car because that's what it'd be for me on New Years.
Although, still, I don't think I'd want to do it in any weather.

I do it sometimes for dinner, and it's not so bad. I'm sure I will end up just staying home, but I was feeling really lame about it so I was trying to think of some alternative.
Yes, I agree with that. Even if you are with Kevin and Connor, that would be depressing to me.

The high is like 65 here today, so I'm guessing weather isn't a big factor.
I'm getting my hairs cut tonight! I haven't colored it in almost 4 years so I didn't add that on, i wouldn't know what to do. As it is, I have no idea how to ask for it cut, but I'm still excited to get something done to it finally.
Tomorrow, our friend JayBear flies in from Raleigh. I'm having drinks with a bunch of sloppy whores, and Saturday more friends drive in to stay with us for New Years.
I have to clean the entire house. Like, top to freaking bottom Christmas-***-storm clean the house andIdontwanttodoit.

I don't know what it is to have a "full weekend". Since B works 6 days, we have Sat night through sunday (yeah, boo hoo. whatever). So, I'm dropping E off at my MILs for like 3 hours in the day. Then another couple and their kid E's age that we've known since they were both born is coming over. Not sure about another couple yet. We always have someone. We haven't gone out for NYE since 2005. Well, I did. I went out with friends- we'd only met a week prior and I had plans with friends in NYC. He had plans to stay home alone and reflect or something. After that, we've always hosted people. Don't like to be on the road. And it always sucks- never lives up to be what it's "supposed to" be.
Even that 2005 year, I went to the mall to buy an outfit, wasn't feeling well, decided to get a massage at one of those Korean kiosks. Fainted in the middle, fell off the chair thing on to the floor. Came to having them throw water on me and yell at me to leave.
How did he acquire said nut-ache?

He's not sure. He thinks he might have injured it while sleeping. He went to urgent care for it today because it's been bothering him for a week now and the pain is starting to radiate up his pelvis and now he's on pelvic rest.....like a pregnant chick.
