Morning! I'm so happy it's Friday! Anyone doing anything interesting this weekend??
Currently I'm waiting for H so we can go food shopping. He has been home all week because of his back so he wants to get out. He's kinda invading my time but oh well. We aren't doing much this weekend except going to SIL's on Sunday for our niece's birthday.
We're leaving for Pittsburgh soon! DH was going to have to work half a day and we'd battle traffic getting out of the city (it starts so early here on Fridays) but his boss told him to just take the whole day since he's been working so much lately. Woohoo! We're going to take the scenic (and toll free) route out since we have more time.
HALLELUJAH. We're signing this afternoon, so packing is the plan for this weekend. H is also going to drive to the closest Crate and Barrel (a little over an hour away) to pick up the dinnerware set we decided on.
I have a continuing education course today. So much better than being at work. A high school friend is coming tonight and leaving tomorrow morning and then my parents will be here Sat afternoon until Sunday. Crazy!
Closing time at work can not get here fast enough. I'm so excited it's Friday! I think we're going to relax tonight. The thought of reading a magazine thrills me so much! Tomorrow, I have a bunch of chores to do and then I'll watch some football!! Sunday, after church DH and I will have some family time. I'm trying to encourage family time on Sunday afternoon since he has started a forever project on his vehicle, i.e. new hobby...that has taken a majority of the weekend up for him usually.

I have a total random! H is buying me a new coffee maker today!!! Our current one leaks like crazy and Kuerig doesn't make the model we have anymore so they won't replace it. They offered us a different model at a "discount" that was more than then sell it in stores so we just be dealing with a leaky coffee maker for a few months.
I can't believe I am so excited for a coffee maker!

I am so happy it is Friday! I want to take a nap after work and then make dinner and catch up on some TV shows. Tomorrow I need to get up early to do some homework before the football game. Sunday will be spent on school projects that I procrastinated on and are all due in the next 3 weeks.
I'm off for 5 days after today so today can't go fast enough! I think tomorrow I might go into Sam's Club to claim my free membership, maybe wander around the mall and get some Christmas ideas. Sun we will probably go out to ILs for dinner. Hopefully H gets something this weekend! The dreamer in me hopes they all 3 get their deer Sat morning so he won't be gone all weekend. Considering they haven't had a lot of luck the last few years, that's very wishful thinking lol. Oh well! I want some venison jerky though!
Today we have Milo's dietitian appointment, and H is taking the whole afternoon off for it. My dad is dropping by before that, and then I may do something with my mom.
Tomorrow H is driving an hour away to get a free darkroom set. He already has one, but this one is really fancy and enormous and professional. He is so excited!
Other than that, I want to get some sewing done, but that's about it. H really wants to paint our new door, but we haven't picked out paint yet, so...
Half day today! Running into Walmart now, then plan for rest of today is baking banana bread and muffins, catching up TV and finishing my book. All while getting puppy cuddles!
Did you post pictures of this that I missed? I am obsessed with china.
I posted a link a while back. The link doesn't seem to want to cooperate on my phone, but it's the lake set from Crate and Barrel. I'll re-post the link tonight.
I was all set to come in here bitching about my boss. He was the #1 hesitation that I had about taking this job. But found out this morning, he's being transferred!!! Problem solved.
Today the tree trimmers came and took out the dead tree from our front yard. The house looks so much better! And the view is much better now!
Need to get some cleaning done this weekend. Have a phone date with BFF later today. She might be coming to town this weekend and I have plans to see her if that works out.
wanderingenough- hope you can get a new phone! Sorry, that really sucks and is the last thing you need right now
I was so excited for Friday/weekend and then DH texted letting me know that he has to work really late tonight, long hours tomorrow, and possibly Sunday (he never works weekends so this is completely unexpected). Usually wouldn't be that much of a big deal but C's cold is only getting worse and I might be relapsing myself. So, not only am I going to be the only parent around with a sick kid but it's not like we can go do much. And DH wouldn't have to be working this weekend if his boss hadn't taken vacation last week when it's their busiest time (budget and month end stuff).

I'm in a much better mood now. We went to the store and got stuff to make chocolate chip cookies for DH to take to work tomorrow (and of course some for me to eat tonight!). I love baking and it was just what I needed. C is now in bed (poor guy is not feeling well) and I am drinking a beer before heading to bed myself. DH is still at work with no end in sight. And, we might have a showing tomorrow morning...or might not since the realtor didn't like our 30 min only window (they wanted 3.5 hrs...yeah, not sitting around our house with a sick baby waiting for someone to show up for 3.5 hrs).

Where in Pittsburgh?
We stayed with one of my friends who lives just north of the city. We went for the Pitt/ND football game
katiek what are you making? I love all your creative endeavors
Sorry I never responded! This weekend was crazy!
All I did this weekend was fix a seam in a pair of my dad's pants and cut up an old tshirt to make wipes. My next projects are a carseat cover and swaddle for baby girl, corduroy pants, a red bowtie, and wool diaper covers for Milo, and curtains for my mom's bathroom.

I'm Making a car seat cover too I just can't decide which fabric to order because I like two (and already own the lining)

Picking fabric is the hardest! I always spend SO LONG in the fabric store and end up getting overwhelmed, haha. I think I'm going to use quilting cotton for the outside because it comes in such adorable patterns. What two are you deciding between?
