What do you guys have going on this weekend?
Re: TGIF!
Tonight: It's DH's Birthday!!!! We are both working today and then I'll get home and finish frosting his Birthday cake!!! We'll probably go out to dinner, as long as the weather is decent!
Tomorrow: Detroit Auto Show, then dinner with friends, then DH has a hockey game!
Sunday: I have to get my baby quilt started for a friend. I just got an invite to her shower and it's in like 3 weeks!!! ahh!!!

I have today off and I'm meeting an old co-worker for lunch. I'll probably go to Whole Foods because I have a $50 giftcard from Christmas that I haven't used. I'm about to start my 3rd load of laundry and I've made my grocery list and menu for next week. So even though I'm still in my pajamas on the couch I feel somewhat accomplished already today.
DH is shooting all day tomorrow so I'll probably take my Christmas stuff down and maybe go shopping with my sister and mom.
Sunday I'll go to Church and we have plans to have dinner and play cards with some friends.
Today we are going to see DH's grandma and great grandma. While I wait for him to get off work I am going to Nest and pack.
Tomorrow- Packing all day....
Sunday- Going to see FIL and shoot a gun. More packing to be done.
Sad because we have to say good bye to the people I mentioned above this weekend.
Well, I'm off work today, and I'm supposed to go visit my aunt and her baby, but I can't tell if I am getting sick or not, so I don't know if I should go. It's pretty lame.
Aaaand I work all weekend. Blerg.
Today: work, cleaning house and getting a new CAR!! My car broke down last week and it will be $1750 to fix the car.
I am really sad because this was my first car that I've owned. However, the car is worth maybe $2500, and we just put $600 into it the last week of October. So if we fix it, it would basically be a waste of money and we'd be gambling that the car would still work....
Saturday-Monday: Headed North for the weekend! I am so excited because I might actually get to snowmobile for the first time ever!
Here is the car I am getting (same color):
Congrats on the car. Once you get used to the new one I am sure you will love it.
Nice!!! Is that the Fiesta or a new Focus? I'm jealous either way - those are the two cars I was debating between until MIL sold us her Vibe. It was definitely the more financially responsible decision to take MIL's car, but I still want a new Focus or Fiesta someday.
TGIF!!
Today/tonight: work and attending my company dinner at Rocky's of Northville.
Tomorrow: either a 12 mile run or going to the gym for an easy 3-4 mile run + weights. not sure what else we wil do with our day. maybe start cleaning the basement and the spare room. we have a lot to do with the house before the baby arrives! watch playoff football, probably go to the grocery store. meal plan for next week
Sunday: well, either a 12 mile run or easy 3-4 mile run + weights (basically which ever one I don't do saturday will be sundays work out), wathc playoff football, finish any laundry that needs to be done.

SO glad it's Friday! This is been a stressful week.
Tonight: entertain myself while DH works
Saturday: Birthday party for a nephew. No idea what to get the little guy. Is cash for a college fund tacky? According to his mom, he needs nothing so I have no idea what else to do.
Sunday: no plans - probably I'll just clean house or something similarly boring
Monday: Day off for MLK! I'll be relaxin'
Tonight I'm going to a friend's birthday party that's 90's boys band themed (Backstreet Boys, New Kids On The Block, N*Sync, etc) and I'm bringing my chocolate fountain - SO EXCITED.
Tomorrow, just spending the day with DH (nothing exciting planned)
Sunday... church/working out/studying/nothingexciting.
Its a Fiesta
I recently bought my MIL's car too! I was looking at the escapes and other small SUV's. She sold me her Saturn Vue... I agree that it was definitely the financially responsible thing to do.

We leave for Chicago today.
Sat: lunch w/IL's & some of their friends, they're people DH grew up knowing, and they'd like to see us & the kids. Sat. night we're mtg DH's friends for dinner, I saw them when I was out there in June, but DH wasn't with us.
Sun: MIL's family side gathering, also celebrating FIL's 75th b-day
It's been quite a week. DH is sick, so I've been single-parenting in the hopes that if he rests he'll get better sooner.
Tonight - Hopefully actually make something for dinner (didn't get around to it yesterday) and try to get Ryan to bed around 7ish. I will likely go to bed as soon as I'm done with dinner.
Tomorrow - MIL wants to come over to visit w/ Ryan, I so don't want to entertain after this last week, but at least the don't tend to stay long.
Sunday - Maybe going to my parents church. It'll give DH more time to get better and I need to talk to the priest about baptism anyway. If we do then I'll probably stay at my parents for a little while.
Today- went to SOS and finished that crap. I should be doing laundry and cleaning the house but instead I sit and watch DVR stuff.
Chinese takeout birthday dinner!
Saturday- decorating and stuff around the house. Maybe even some painting.
Sunday- hanging out and enjoying life.
Monday- T's birthday so lots of fun and making some kind of fun snack for school and making him Mac & Cheese for his bday dinner.
Not a whole lot. I'm hoping to go shopping/return gifts this weekend if I don't paint.
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
