It's supposed to be rainy here too this weekend. We're rapidly approaching my favorite season in Montana. I love May and June. The college kids are out of town but the tourists haven't arrived. It's warm, or at least light-jacket weather. There is still snow on the mountain tops but the grass is green, things are blooming, etc. I also love the unexpected thunderstorms!
Anyway, for this weekend we're cleaning the house. I need to rotate out a bunch of DD's clothes, which requires getting into the crawlspace where all the other bins are stored.
Took a vacation day today. Ran a ton of errands and weeded the flower beds, going to work out and then clean up.
Looked for a hat for our derby party next weekend. Hats are NOT MM!
Tonight we are going to a wine festival at the botanical gardens. Tomorrow H has a craft beer festival so I am getting a Mani/pedi. Then we'll go out with friends afterwards.
Workers are coming to the house tomorrow to install our new front door.
A local classic movie house is showing Airplane! tomorrow night, which sounds like fun.
FIL's birthday was yesterday. I was hoping that he'd accept MH's offer to go to this great Italian restaurant that they used to go to when MH was young, but FIL said no. He might come over for a backyard cookout or something, but the weather's been really cold in the past few days so he might not want to do that either.
Our friends tend to contact us very last-minute if they want to do something, so there's a chance that we'll get a, "Can you come over in an hour or two to hang out?" text tomorrow evening.
I was at a trade show for the bulk of this week (in NYC so I came home each night) that sort of wiped me out, so I would like to chill out this weekend. Maybe catch up on laundry. I've also been stumped on meal plans for about a week so I need to get back on track with that.
Tonight we're making pizza and drinking beer while watching the Rangers game. I have a baby shower to attend tomorrow and Sunday DH and I are going to a brewery for some new releases.

Tonight: string therapy at a local yarn shop Tomorrow: cleaning and prep day! Sunday: picking up Mom and Dad at the airport!!! Yay!
Random: I was stocking up on wine for my folks coming to visit. Turns out the local grocery store gives you a discount if you buy 6 bottles at once. Good detail to know.
Tonight: Helping set up for the meet at DD's gym. Tomorrow: Acro all day. It's DD's state meet. Sunday: Nothing yet. If it doesn't rain we want to clean and organize our garage and storage shed.
Nothing, really! Well, I may be babysitting. I was supposed to tomorrow, for my friend's toddler. His wife just had a baby that is in the NICU so the toddler needs to be occupied. Apparently now the mother is hospitalized for an infection, so the toddler is spending the night and most of tomorrow with a friend. I may sit later in the day if they don't keep him all weekend (which I think seems unlikely?). But I am not going to make other plans in case they need me.
This is convenient since I don't really want to do anything anyway lol. A favor won't kill me but I like that it makes me clear my schedule of anything else haha.
Going out to a show tonight with BFF (sadly, I'm not over the December incident if anyone remembers that hot mess, but as two without siblings, we are basically sisters, with the drama thereabouts).
Tomorrow, I need to do some work. I'm detailed put to another position right now, but still doing my normal job too. Good times! H is going fishing.
Sunday - H and I have plans to do "something fun." It's out last day together for about 2 weeks just due to adult crap. So we are going out to celebrate his raise!
(And yes, you read that right. H got a surprise 8% raise yesterday. Totally unexpected, he figured he was one of the highest paid at the company and would stay that way for quite some time. Funniest part, boss man told him by email, in reply to an email H sent bitching about the lack of material and how he was just going to order the parts himself and put in for reimbursement. Also, with the W2 issues we went through this year, we have surmised that most of the cash flow issues were the previous bookkeeper. They have a new one who is totally on top of things and trying to clean up the mess she inherited. So fingered crossed he makes more money and his pay checks remain good.)

Thanks! MH has mentioned this one. It's a bit of a hike for us but we'll have to try it at some point.
A few breweries are opening in North Jersey (JC, I think there's one trying to get off the ground in Hoboken), but I guess South Jersey has better real estate prices.
Yard work, grilling, wine and bridal shower. The bridal shower is 3 hours away so I'll be in the car most of the day Sunday. Very excited to see the bride. She was my college roommate/bff for 3 years and now we only see each other once or twice a year.
I'm staying at work late this evening so I can finish a project that's due tonight for class. I have another one due next week, so my weekend plans are to get that done so I don't have to stress out about it next week.
Tonight: dinner out somewhere low key Saturday: morning run, birthday party SIL/visit ILs family on the other side of the city Sunday: 5k run & caspar babypants concert with babyniq
H is OOT until Sunday and I don't have a car, so... yard work? I might get crazy and go to the Mexican restaurant down the street. Oh! Maybe I'll get really crazy and go to the OTHER Mexican restaurant!
We have a porcupine on the property that we need to.....dispose of...before Wyatt finds it. We've got trail cameras set up and the live trap and bait will go up tonight.
Ideally having a baby, but I doubt I am that lucky.
I can't believe how quickly time has passed!!
Tomorrow my mom is coming into town for my second bridal fitting. I also have some shopping/returns to do and work prep for next week. And more job applications!

We are finishing building the pantry we started last weekend. It will probably take most of the weekend. Tonight was supposed to be appetizer/wine night, but DH has to work late so here I am.
