weekend plans!

[fussbucket]

Let's hear 'em!

I have today off so I am catching up on house stuff that has not gotten done for the past, um, 10 weeks or so, getting a jump-start on Thanksgiving shopping, and Christmas gifts.

Tomorrow we are just doing family stuff and then going to a potluck at a friend's house. I think I might bring funeral potatoes!

Sunday I have no idea. I have some crafting to do with Baby Fuss for the Thanksgiving table, but since it's supposed to rain most of the weekend I'll save that for whenever he's most stir-crazy from being inside.

[exploding people]

I finally have a weekend off! Tonight I work until 8, then I'm going home to catch up on TV via Hulu.
Tomorrow I'm going to work out, clean a little, watch more TV, then go to a clothing swap.
Sunday I will spend as much time being lazy as I possibly can.

[motzie]

H is going hunting so bebe and I are home alone for most of the weekend. My goal is to try to get some cleaning done for thanksgiving, get some thank you cards and a couple packages mailed out, and to get these maps I have framed and hung.

[partiallysunny]

Nothing planned. The usual cleaning and a trip to the grocery store. Hopefully finish painting my night stands.

[sparksfly]

Saturday-Shopping for for food. Both Thanksgiving and non Thanksgiving related. Taking the extra tables and chairs to my cousin's.

Sunday, not sure yet.

And sometime over the weekend will be stopping by the hospital to check on my grandfather. (Meds seem to be helping. He knew who we were last night. Cardiologist isn't super concerned about the heart failure at this point. He said it was minimal.)

[Muddled]

Today is the final Tgiving shopping trip. If it is not in my hands today, it won't be happening because I refuse to deal with that mess. Tomorrow, we will go to Ikea because we don't have enough chairs, now that we are having 2 more people over. I have a couple more errands to run as well.

Otherwise, we have friends in town from Brazil, so we will be spending lots of time with them in between mass cleaning sweeps.

[Muddled]

Are people coming over for tgiving, Motz? Are you doing this all alone?

[dixienormous]

Cleaning and starting food prep for Thanksgiving. Cleaning out Petite Fleur's toys and room. Hopefully ordering Hanukkah gifts for the kid (seeing as how it starts on 12/8 eep!). Trying to get some crafting done but I don't foresee that happening.

[So_Fetch]

I'm hoping to catch up on my hat orders (I crochet hats as a side business) and create a few extras for the holiday open house we are doing in a couple weeks. Which means I will be sitting on the couch watching lifetime or hallmark movies.

And I'll probably go to the gym Saturday morning and volunteer at the cat sanctuary on Sunday.

[aliceinfairyland]

Tonight, I think I'm heading to bff's new house! Yay!

The rest of the weekend is Thanksgiving prep.

[10outof9]

I have today off, so I'm catching up on some cleaning around the house and finishing up a reorganizing project I started last week.

Saturday, I'm "working". We're taking a group of our Docents on a field trip to the zoo where I worked and volunteered in college. So while I'm technically working, it'll be way more fun than a day in the office.

I'm not sure about Sunday yet. DH and I might go see Skyfall, but other than that, we don't really have plans yet.

It's really nice to have a weekend to sort of relax, after the craziness (and 80-90 hour weeks) that went into planning, setting up for, running, and tearing down the Halloween event I run at work.

[BettyBookWorm]

We are going to do another deep clean and organize of the house. Then it's Christmas shopping!

[imoan]

I'm having lunch tomorrow at La Cheesecake Factory with ESD. Be jealous!

Yup, somehow we're hosting. It should just be a small group, maybe 8 instead of 14 this year. I'm hoping to clean and prep over the next week, and then H will be the head chef on turkey day. I'm kind of excited now that we got stuck with it.

[gault]

I am ruh-nning in my first 5k tomorrow! It's halfway scary and half yaaaay.

It's supposed to be raining a lot, so I might go to see Anna Karinina (sp), as well as FINALLY get started on making Christmas cards.

Also, start packing for Thanksgiving. :-D

Yay! Go Gault!

[Muddled]

You are a brave, brave woman, Motz. I am in awe. Brad would not be allowed to leave the house all weekend, except to do my express bidding.

Gault- how do you feel about the casting of that movie?

[gault]

Muddled - tbh, I haven't read all of the book. I heard on NPR that they're doing a modern adaptation of it - not in Russia, set on a stage for the most part as an allegory of the culture at the time, etc.

I am SO glad Matthew MacFadyen is in it. Keira Knightley, eh. She's good for the period dramas and all, but her mouth annoys the fuck out of me.

[Muddled]

I am considering boycotting because of KK. I do love that book.

H has been so awesome. Doing all the cooking and cleaning and grocery shopping. And he's been making gourmet meals, not phoning it in like I'd probably be doing at this point. He brings me a smoothie in bed every morning. He does this one weekend with his dad every year, it would be silly to miss it for the amount of actual help I need. She's an easy baby (so far). If she was bottle or formula fed I might feel differently about it, but for now, she's either on the bewb or asleep.

It sounds like you have it made in the shade. I'm glad that things are going so well.

Good for you. You seem so happy.

[Chirp]

I'm going to leave work a little early so I can go to the grocery store before heading home.

Tomorrow, H is going scouting with his dad (to find a good place to hunt when the season starts in a couple weeks), so they'll be gone all day. So, me and the boy will be heading to Target, going to the park and doing some cleaning.

Sunday is my "cook all the food for the week" day. So I'll be doing that.


My weekend sounds exhausting. At least I don't have to cook for Thanksgiving.

[starrieskies]

Yay, gault!!

H was invited to go hunting with some friends. I hope he goes. That would give me some time alone in the house (with DS, of course) to do a little poking around and organizing. I've decided to put off making major decisions until after the Holidays, but have devoted the next month or so to gathering information and getting ready.

Until my laundry learns how to do itself, this is pretty much a staple weekend activity. I would also like to head to Costco for some turkey day supplies and do some Christmas Shopping. I've been done shopping for DS for about a month now, but I still have about 75% of my family to shop for. I'm a little behind this year.

[luckyval]

I'll be looking for my motivation and holiday cheer this weekend

If I play my cards right, I may also sit in on a 90 sales-pitch so I can get a pair of free airline tickets and 2 night hotel stay

I'll also be looking longingly towards next week when I have a 2 day week - yay!

[margarita]

Not much planned, really.
Dinner at the IL's on Saturday.
On Sunday, I hope to get lots of house stuff done and catch up on some shows.

[pinkplasticdoll]

Loads of homework. I am going to begin catching up and getting ahead of homework for the end of my semester. Maybe a movie tonight with a friend and probably the gym tomorrow.

Also, I really wish I could go to the cheesecake factory with ESD and Imoan I haz the sads that I live here and they live there.

[smock]

Hey Gault, good luck tomorrow! I kinda want to run in an official race, but I'm askert. What if everyone looks at me/!??!

[malibu]

Tomorrow I am taking DD to my parents' house, as my mom was having a fit that she hadn't seen her since Halloween. Plus I could use the parenting help. She's been a total shit lately.

Tomorrow night I am meeting up with a few of the MN MLers. Can't wait!

Sunday, um, probably sleeping off a minor hangover.

ETA: In thinking about it more, I should probably makes some plans for DD's 2nd birthday party that's in three weeks.

[statlerwaldorf]

We went to the farmer's market this morning. DH is working tomorrow so he can take Thanksgiving off. We spent most of the day baking and cleaning. DH steam cleaned the entire house. It's double xp weekend on my new game, so I've spent a little time on that. We also went through DD's toy box, sorted her toys, and completely organized her room.
