Happy Friday everyone, seemed like this week was never going to end!
What's everyone up to this weekend?
Saturday - I'm getting my hair cut/colored, I'm trying to decide between continuing with highlights or to just do all over color, thoughs/suggestions? Then I'd like to try to do some Xmas baking. Then Saturday night I have a holiday party.
Sunday - Zumba class in the morning then FI is off for the entire day, which doesn't happen too often, so thinking about going out for brunch and not sure what else.

Happy Friday! Dave is taking a half day and we're going to the 2pm showing of the Hobbit today! This week has seemed soooo long. I'm glad to be ending on a high note
Other than that we'll do the final night of Hanukkah on Saturday and make latkes. And then on to Christmas!
Haha, ok here goes. It's kind of long! The shower is for a friend that works at the bar I fill in at/hang out at constantly and is being attending by other ladies that work there and/or are regulars (this place is pretty much my Cheers, lol). The shower is actually AT the bar tomorrow morning.
So J (mom to be) is a super crunchy vegan. We were instructed to not wrap gifts or give her cards because that is not environmentally friendly and she'll get upset She also only wants specific items made from environmentally friendly companies, etc. So has an Amazon registry of these items (cool).
Her DH is a grade A dbag and doesn't really like her socializing with any of us (or anyone as far as I can tell) and was angry that we were even throwing her this shower. So, he goes ahead and buys out the entire Amazon registry to be an ass. Since she's so particular on what we can and cannot buy (and what it can be packaged in!) we ask what we're supposed to do now. She asks we all give her cash (but not in a card!) so she can pay her DH back for the $ he spent being a dbag and buying out the registry before any of us could.
Also, we are to buy our own food and drinks at said shower. Can't wait!
What in the holy mother of?! Wow I say bring singles and fold them lengthwise, ala strip club style. And drink heavily. I'm sure that goes without saying

That baby shower sounds amazing, scm. At least the food and drinks are cheap there! And have fun on Saturday at Christmas in the City! I can't wait til my office goes on Monday.
We've got some shopping to finish up, and I think we're going to the movies and dinner tomorrow. I'd like to pop over to Faneuil Hall for a bit at some point, too, while we're in the city. It's so cheesy and touristy, and I mostly avoid it 11 months out of the year, but I like to hit it up at least once when it's all decorated for Christmas. We'll also probably stop by to visit H's grandmother, and his parents are back from Vegas tomorrow, too, so we may have to sneak in his dad's birthday lunch/dinner, since we didn't get to last week.
Tonight I am having John over and we're making chili, hanging out, and probably just watching a movie or something.
Tomorrow I'm taking the girl that I mentor ice skating at Frog Pond. Please pray that I don't break my neck or back! Tomorrow night I am going to a Hanukkah party at my friends' house in Brookline.
Sunday I am going to brunch with a friend and another friend is having a dinner party.
That baby shower sounds amazing. I'd love to be a fly on the wall.
SCM, that sounds, um, interesting. You had my SIL completely described until you got to her husband (my brother is A-OK)
Tonight DH goes to fighter practice Saturday we get our tree and decorate it! And I'm going to a cookie exchange in the evening Sunday, weather permitting, we're taking DD to a Christmas pageant at my church. They dress up the kids for a little Christmas song and Nativity thing, then they light the tree outside the rectory and have treats downstairs
