What's happening, MNers?

Any fabulous plans this weekend?

I think I have Monday off!

Twin boys due 7/25/12

Re: What's happening, MNers?

  • I get to hopefully watch my friend try on wedding dresses today!
    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.
  • Woot! We are just haning out, maybe go see TGWTDT tonight and go out to dinner!

    also, I will be over-analyzing this situation which you can feel free to comment on. (because I am an over-analzer by nature)

    ETA: the "woot" is to Ojo who may have Monday off, although "Woot" to Stanley too!

  • A good friend of ours is back from Afghanistan on R&R and they're having a big party tonight.  I'm going to drink like a bleeping fish.  P.S.  I haven't really drank since 2-3 months BEFORE the twins were conceived (for those keeping tabs-a little over 18 months), so this should be interesting.

    Yup! The Indian ceremony will be late AM, then awesome Indian food, then the American ceremony, followed by the reception.

    FF have fun! Do you have breast milk testers?

  • I'm in the process of planning our Honeymoon for when H gets back from deployment. I'm getting excited but the thought of me in a bathing suit that soon is bringing me back down LOL.
  • H and I are in the middle of a Harry Potter marathon. His 2 weeks off started yesterday so we are spending some quality time together. He found out his ship is going underway again mid January ( not a full deployment- at least 1 month but up to 3) so I'm enjoying having him around while I can.

    Ouch.  That sucks that he's leaving again so soon.  :(

  • We aren't doing alot. We are going out mentioning today was supposed to be our wedding day. So far we only have plans to go to dinner and stay in for the weekend and clean a very much neglected house. I hope everyones weekends go great :)
  • We're currently driving back to GA after a week home for the holidays. The pup didn't like to car but is starting to get use to it. He's snoozing away right now but we had a little bit of a rough start. This weekend we will probably just catch up on laundry and sleep. Nothing too exciting. 
  • Tomorrow night a friend is going to watch DD so that my wife and I can have a night out.  An entire night.  Just two of us.  Doing adult things, with no child at the table, and no set bed time.  It will be glorious!

  • I'm looking at bonded pairs of guinea pigs on Pet Finder. A shelter near us has three different pairs up for adoption right now.

  • I think a couple of friends are coming over for NYE. That's about it!

    ETA: Tonight nothing is planned, though I did go walking/hiking with Ksrawr today! She's so fun.

  • J has a 4day this weekend.  We took the little people fishing today.  We didn't catch anything, but they had a blast. 

    We may go fishing again tomorrow.  Tomorrow night, we are just sitting around a fire in the yard and roasting marshmallows.  No big parties for us this year.  We are also looking at having a new foster dog sometime this weekend.

  • DH, also has a four day--YEAH!! We don't have anything planned. I hope to get some organizing and cleaning done, but a lot of doin' nothin', too!

    This will be, I think, the calm before the storm. DH should (finally) have his orders for our move by the middle of next week. We will have a lot to do in the next two months. ::gulp::

  • Today I went to a town and got some new running clothes! Then i went for run while the new clothes were in the wash.  Then I cleaned and met up with AF_EOD for walk.  I finally met Sweet Caroline in person she is so cute!  Tonight more cleaning/organizing, hanging out with the doggies and H, and maybe continue our HIMYM marathon I got seasons 4-6 for christmas so we are watching them bit by bit every night. 

    Tomorrow I go to the beach for NYE! So excited we got a hotel room and are going out to go party.

    Mary- That sucks about him leaving so soon after he just got back.  Enjoy your time together!

  • No plans for us.  We have grocery shopping and laundry to do, but that's about it. 
  • I work the weekend. : ( I can't wait until school starts again so I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something in my life again.

Tomorrow I'm going to the farmer's market with N and we are planning wedding bouquets for a friend of hers that we are making! Dinner and N, S and C at their house tomorrow night and a movie. Other than that relaxing and spending time with husband!

  • Tonight I'm making a spread of cheese, meats, veggies, crackers, etc. for the 3 of us to snack on as we please. We will have a Game Night and are letting L stay up as late as she can make it (same goes for me too lately  LoL). Hoping to make it to midnight; we've got sparkling cider in the fridge just in case!

    That's the fun side; the other side is hoping to finish clearing out the office so that we can begin the conversion to nursery. Have to see just how big the holes in the wall from the shelves are which will determine whether or not we need to paint the room. I'm excited to finally be doing this; but am remembering too that at some point this month K and I need to create our baby registry. And for some reason THAT has me anxious.

    And I'm wondering if I should add some things to the registry for L - I've seen other people do this for their older children. I think it would be nice to give her bedroom the "big sister" makeover as she is outgrowing her princess phase and is ready for something more mature. Which makes my heart sad - when did she get so grown up?!?

  • What up! We went out last night, but right when the baby sitter gets here, Ava wakes up.  We headed to our neighbor's house for a few pre drinks before going to the club on base.  10 minutes after we leave, I have to run home to puke my guts up ( nothing to drink at this point!)  and work up the nerve to leave again.  Felt yucky the whole night, got some sort of liquor in my eye at the countdown ( I advise you to look down during those things) but all in all, had a good time!  Happy 2012!
