It's Friday people!

Yay! We were supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow last night and all I had was some ice from the rain that froze on the car last night. Booo! Way to set us up for disappointment, local weather stations. 

Any plans for the weekend? 

It looks like we may be picking up our foster dog early - as in tomorrow. I have to do their orientation first thing in the morning and then I guess I will pick him up afterwards. We're also hoping to get our dining room painted. 

[cuddlyevil]

All of our fun plans ended when I discovered the leak in our basement. I am working but waiting for a call from the plumber.

[imoan]

Tonight I have a date night with ESD (be jealous).
Tomorrow I'm going to hang out a bit and then we're celebrating H's bday at the ILs for dinner with H's BFF and wife.
Sunday I have mass, lunch and retreat meeting.
Monday I plan on sleeping in and watching Fringe.

[motzie]

I'm off today! Hooray long weekend! No big plans this weekend. H has been working like crazy so I just want us to be home together.

DL - what color did you pick?

[partiallysunny]

DL, your weekend makes me feel exhausted.

Nothing planned. Hoping to make some couch pillows. Maybe fill in some holes with wood putty and daydream about it being warm enough to paint.

[dixienormous]

No big plans. I got my stitches out of my mouth today so that'll make me more comfortable. Tonight I have my job interview.

Tomorrow or Sunday we're supposedly going out for dim sum with a friend but H hasn't told me the confirmed day, time or place.

Monday I plan on doing a lot of nothing. And applying for jobs.

[smock]

This weekend I want to lie on the couch and do absolutely nothing (or maybe watch TV) when I can, and work when I have to. BOOOORING!

[dixienormous]

Smock, that sounds glorious to me.

Today a massage and prom dress shopping.
Tomorrow a REgifting party at my friends
Sunday not much of anything...maybe a movie

We're going with a cranberry/burgundy color. I'm trying to get him on board with doing some beadboard/wainscotting on the bottom half in a cream color. I think he likes that idea, but that project is obviously not happening this weekend. 

I'm not sure if the painting will happen or not at this point, I think we'll have to see how it goes with the dog.

What is a regifting party?


I have a friend in town this weekend, so I'll be hanging out with her, catching up on some errands, and watching the Pats win.

[flamingeaux]

I am busy being super unofficially excited, because DH's dad knows people, and was able to unofficially find out that unofficially DH got the job he applied for, at the federal prison that is super close to both of our families, and will make enough that we will be able to TTC and I'll be able to SAH. We should get the official word on Tuesday. At which point we will have approximately a month, to pack up and find a new place. His parents said we could stay with them through the transition, but I really don't want to live out of a suitcase again.

[exploding people]

I was out sick yesterday and DH was off, and we ended up starting our search for another cat. The time has come. So I'm hoping at some point this weekend we'll be able to go back to the humane society and find a kitty. DH's work schedule may make that a little difficult. We'll see.

Other than that, I have plans to go shopping with my bestie tomorrow, then tomorrow night I'm sober-cabbing for DH and some of his buddies. One of his friends finally found a job after a very long period of unemployment, so they're celebrating his first paycheck. I'm going to make him (DH's friend) buy me dinner.

Sunday, no plans. Laundry, laziness, and hopefully playing with a new kitty. I'm off Monday too, so that will be more of the same.

MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY!!

Not for all of us. 

[starrieskies]

I have a funeral to go to with my mom tomorrow morning. Once I get home from that, I'm hoping to finally finish the blanket I'm working on. I got my jewelry holders (almost) done and they're hanging on the wall. If I can manage, I'd like to get the final pieces so I can finish that too. At least I got the painting done, that was the most time consuming part.

Other than that, I've got nothing. I think H is making plans to spend Sunday with a friend from work, so I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing Sunday with DS. It's supposed to be really cold, but sunny so maybe we'll go for a walk or something.

Yeah, I'm working Monday too.    I almost took the day off since DS's daycare is closed that day, but my Mom wanted to spend some time with DS so she's going to watch him for me.

[Chirp]

No big plans for us. I have to get my car inspected on Monday (I'm off). Par-tay!

At least I know it won't need anything (it's only 1 year old). Yay for that.

[Muddled]

What is open on Monday besides retail and restaurants? I am sad for you guys.

[imoan]

Monday isn't a holiday for H! I get the house to myself so it'll be all-Fringe, all-day!

I work for a construction company.  We get the major holidays (Christmas, New Years, etc.). But other than that, we're here.  I would have liked a 3 day weekend though.

jealous.  My husband always takes off my holidays - so I never get the day alone.  It's a running joke between us.  He can't stand for me to be off when he has to work.

For me, I'm volunteering at a race event tomorrow morning (to earn vouchers to race for free!) and then going to family get together to see my cousins from Alaska (North pole).  Sunday I'm volunteering at the cat sanctuary. and Monday I'm going on a long bike ride or a long hike with the dogs.  Somewhere in between I'm forcing DH into major cleaning mode and I MUST clean out my closet.

My employer restructured the paid holidays a few years ago. We used to be off on Columbus Day, but they took that away and gave us MLK Day instead. They also took away Good Friday and gave us a "birthday holiday" to use any day of the week around your birthday.

[motzie]

I'm at an Architecture firm. We only get the major, major holidays. (Christmas, thanksgiving, New Year's Day, July 4, Memorial Day and Labor Day) It will be quiet since our clients won't be working, but we'll be plugging away.

[macmars45]

I'm bummed that H and I had to cancel our weekend date because I fractured my foot at work on Wednesday. On the upside my accident came at the same time as H's already scheduled time off from his work. So, we get lots of quality time together stuck in our house.

Mr. Smock doesn't get Monday off, and since I don't teach Mondays, I don't really get the day off either. Sad face.

Everyone brngs a wrapped gift(something you were given but think sucks) we all draw a # and pick a gift from the pile. So person with #! goes, then 2 ,then 3....but after you pick yours and open it you can choose to keep it or trade with someone who already opened and kept theirs. It gets reall funny. The higher the # you pick the better for you. Some of the gifts are hysterical.

[maucat]

I'm excited for the three-day weekend! So far my only weekend plans are to clean up and organize some, watch football, and go to brunch on Monday with one of my friends.
