Have we done this yet? What are your plans for the weekend?
We have MIL's family coming to town tomorrow to do an early Thanksgiving. I have to make stuffing and jello salad. What do you put in a jello salad? Sliced fruit? Topped with cool whip? I'm at a loss on this one. Before that shindig we are heading to the new house to measure all the rooms so I can put them in to "The Make Room" and arrange all my furniture and decide if I really want a sectional or not. Sunday is Church and a nap. Nothing too exciting but I have to try not to overeat on Saturday and we should be good.

Filling our operation Christmas child box (due Sunday - way to leave things until the last minute) Possibly driving up to Chico (it'll be this weekend or next, I hope) to pick up our Christmas cards. Cleaning. Christmas shopping for our family in Germany. The box really needs to be mailed by Thanksgiving to ensure it gets there on time.
Farmer's market on Saturday. Other than that, it's moving all of our unpacked boxes to the basement to make room for the fridge and freezer delivery the day after Thanksgiving.
My parents and sister are heading down this way as I type this.
Then tomorrow we leave for 24 hours in Florida to celebrate my Grandad's birthday. It's pretty much going to be 20 different ways of family crazy and I won't even get to drink my way through it. At least DH will get another dose of my crazy family that he's only met once or never before!
Sunday will be prepping the nursery so my mom can prime the trim for me on Monday!!

I'm on kid duty all weekend so DH can work on the bathroom. Right now too much of the work needs to be done in the attic or on a ladder for me to do it. Saturday: We really need to get the vent pipe up the interior walls 1.5 stories & into the attic. I think DD and I will be running to HD for plumbing pipe & fittings.
Sunday: then we need to finish leveling the floor (slopes over 2" in 5'. Yea, old houses!) and make the walls plumb.
My dad is going to help us do the plumbing when he's here at Thanksgiving. So this stuff needs to be finished before Thursday.
Tomorrow: DH is trying to figure out how to get a 13' piece of redwood gutter into our Fit to get it home from the salvage yard, since we have a warped stretch we need to replace. I'm voting strapping it to the roof, but he's anti that. I have no idea what his plan is. Neighbors are coming over for game night. Which means i need to make it to Costco sometime tomorrow for appetizers.
Sunday: Nothing. I hope it's raining. I love lying in bed on Sun. morning while it rains. I probably shouldn't wish for that since we have a roof leak in the attic and a warped gutter at the moment, but I'm wishing for it anyway
tonight: hanging out with the IL's and arguing over paint chips. tomorrow: Dump run, checking on stone for vanity top, returning a towel rack that was the wrong size, more (probably futile) rug shopping, girl's night dinner sunday: using MIL's laundry machine to try and get caught up. And then footballs!
Tonight: going to buy some wood Tomorrow: finish painting living room, build me some built ins, paint the mantle I built last weekend, and hopefully the builtins that i hopefully will get finished Sunday: whatever doesnt get done Saturday. Lunchtime playdate with some friends.
Tomorrow we're heading back to DH's grandparent's home to clear out some more stuff. Their home was completely flooded by Sandy and we are emptying it little by little so they can have it torn down and sell the property (they have an unobstructed water view)
Sunday I really, really, really need to go shopping for some cold weather work clothes. I started a new job last month and it's much dressier than my last place and I need some things that will last through the winter.
Tomorrow: getting DH's oil changed. Maybe going to ikea and out to eat, with a bit of Christmas shopping.
Sunday: If we didn't get to ikea on Sat, we will go on Sun. Otherwise, staying home...cleaning and purging. I need to figure out pattern alterations for work too, so that we can get 5 tops cut out and sewn Monday or Tuesday.

Nothing d and r since we still don't have a house!
Today we are going to the gym, going to the thanksgiving farmers market, and tonight we have a sitter to go to DH's holiday party for work. It is at smith and Welleskys or something like that. How fancy do I need tod Ross for that place?
Tomorrow we leave at 5am to drive 12 hours to Iowa for t day. So add clean the whole house and pack to the Saturday list. Blech.
Mildly assisting DH pull the carpet from the stairs and upstairs, reface the risers, sand and prime treads and risers, pick up flooring and install that upstairs. Cleaning and getting ready for BIL and family staying with us. Dinner tonight and football tomorrow!
My mom was here watching Rubes yesterday. When I got home from work we did a bit of Christmas shopping. Then I drank lots of wine and called it a night.
Today H and I are doing garage/garbage clean up. Then we're hanging Christmas lights if it's not too windy.
Tomorrow hang out or do more lights weather dependent.
