We are anxiously waiting for a Home Depot delivery (who knew you could order anything you want to be delivered for $50? It helps with projects and not having a truck!) so we can build a kitchen pantry. DH is sure he can get it done this weekend, if I help. So here's hoping.
Last night we had drinks and appetizers out on the patio and it was a truly glorious night! We had a spirited political discussion that leads me to believe this election is going to be one where our votes cancel each other out.

We took the kids to a local high school theater production last night. We had to leave at intermission because the kids were not into it at all. Good thing our tickets are free because I work there. That would have been a huge waste of money.
We have a lot going on today. We're just about to leave for the kiddos' soccer game. Then there is a children's learning fair today, so we'll probably do that afterward. Tonight I'll give the whole fam hair cuts. I hate doing it, but it's so MM because I have all boys and they need a hair cut like every month.
We are going to order some non-mm bedroom furniture from room and board. It will be nice for the room to finally be done.
Also, our friend with all the crazy drama is moving in with us next weekend, so we are going to work on some sound proofing and get baby gates so the dogs don't wake him every morning.
I am in Chicago visiting my sister. We are going to lunch and taking my nephew to the zoo. Tonight probably ordering take out and hanging out at her house.
Tomorrow I am visiting mg grandma and then heading back home.
I went to yoga this morning with a friend. This is the last day before my DH returns from a trip, I am enjoying the solitude! It is a beautiful day and I am ignoring the fact that I should be doing some type of yard work and enjoying my book/movies from the couch with the windows open.
This has not been a MM day. I started out buying tires. $707, but I'll get a $70 rebate and they were about $150 cheaper than Costco or SAMs. Remover how I fell in Boston? My arm didn't get better. So I went to the dr and to get X-rays. My dr is 50/50 on a break or a dislocation. I should know what's up on Monday.
I plan on studying all weekend. My exam is 2 weeks away and I am not even close to being ready. Good news is that my pups have been cuddling with me all day and that makes me really happy.

We had an appointment at the bank this morning to get pre-approved for a mortgage. We're still trying to decide if we want to buy or build. There isn't much inventory of what we are looking for - small acreage in a specific area - but there are quite a few lots available.
This afternoon is yard work since it is finally nice enough here to get outside.
Headed to LA to work an event. Was planning to stay the night but I'm walking for a cause tomorrow morning so I'll be driving back home late, late tonight.
Then tomorrow it's walking for a cause and then a few hours at the bar, then finish up my mini course.
It is gorgeous out. Went to the Greenmarket this morning, and Hudson River Park this afternoon. We're going to go up to our roof in a bit (though it is so noisy up there already -- the first days of nice weather bring out the worst behavior) and then out to dinner.
Tomorrow I'm going to visit friends and their new baby.
Oy. Sorry @songforyou. Hopefully your friend was understanding.
And trip advisor kills me. I always make the mistake of reading a few good reviews, booking, then deciding I should read the one star reviews, freaking out and panicing about the hotel until I show up. It is not good lol.
DH and I are having a fun weekend. Last night was a friend's birthday gathering at a local beergarden, where a 50's/60's band was playing. Then today, we went to a matinee performance of Sleeping Beauty, put on be a local ballet company with symphony accompaniment. And tonight, we're watching Hockey!
Tomorrow will include supper with my knitting & book club. Which means part of tomorrow will be spent catching up on my reading. And making my potluck contributions.

Update to my weekend: The pantry is half finished- it's framed and drywalled. Tomorrow is paint and shelving and it will be awesome.
My feet and back hurt and I am sitting on the couch with a beer. I even took my beer into the shower with me (DH's suggestion) and I just felt like I was on an episode of Intervention.
