Anyone doing anything fun for Memorial Day weekend? We've got a wedding for a college friend on Sunday, but we don't have much else planned as my SO is studying for the USMLE step 1 exam.
Anyone going to the beach or planning other fun activities?
We are going to a birthday barbecue for BIL tomorrow. No major plans for Sunday and Monday *unless* there is a Game 7 in the Rangers-Devils - if so, we'll be at the game Sunday night. A hockey game is so not Memorial Day Weekend-esque but that's all we've got.

Ugh.
I have to spend two days with my in-laws in a campground when it's supposed to be in the mid 90s. There's not even a lake at this campground. Just kill me now.

Nothing terribly exciting except for Monday. I am going to attempt my first "Memorial Day Murph." It's a CrossFit workout. Run 1 mile, do 100 pullups, 200 pushups, and 300 squats, then run 1 more mile. It's complete insanity and if I can finish it, it'll be well over an hour. The super fast guys can do this in under 40 minutes.
H has been out of town for several weeks, and this is our first weekend together since April, so it'll be nice to spend it together.

I don't camp without a lake, stream, river, or some other easily accessed body of water. I just don't.
You have my condolences on the death of your sanity.

Nobody should. It's an abomination.
What's sealing my fate of insanity is that I don't get cell reception there. It's just me, the in laws, a 2 year old, and oppressive heat.

This is just wrong. What did you do to deserve this punishment?

That's what I want to know. Do you routinely kick puppies? Have you or any of your past lives ever served as a prison guard in a time of war? Do you wear crocs or uggs?

camping without a body of water nearby sounds like straight torture. I think you should come down with an illness that will prevent you from going in the next 5 - 10 minutes.
IL's are coming down to babysit on Sunday so DH and I can go out and celebrate our anniversary . I'm not sure exactly what we're doing yet, which is part of the allure...stuff with the kids always goes so much better if planned in every detail, so for something different we're just taking our bikes, money for dinner out and beers at the bar or a bottle of wine for the beach, and hitting the town.

So, this is a FB status from a local nestie who lives in my neighborhood. She has been going through this for a week all white waiting to have a baby. Her mom came to TX from LA to help with her toddler while the new baby was born. So glad they got this resolved as today is her induction day- the baby is a week past due, but everyone is kind of thankful it (we don't know the gender) stayed put for a few extra days. Thought I would share...
Will you be grilling this weekend? Don't use that wire bristle brush to clean your grill! My mom is finally home after 3 nights in the hospital to remove a tiny wire bristle that had been lodged in her throat after eating a turkey burger we grilled at home. My husband had cleaned the grill just before turning it on and hosed it down before using it, but still one stuck, and stuck to her food. She felt something when she swallowed but just assumed it was a hunk of homemade pickle that she didn't chew well enough. By the time she had the pain checked out a few days later it had worked its way into her neck muscle.
3 endoscopic procedures were unsuccessful so they finally had to cut from the outside to remove it. As awful as it was for her to endure, I am so thankful my 3 year old did not get it, or that I (40 weeks pregnant) did not get it either.
If your grill is gross, wad up some foil and scrub it with that. I don't want this to happen to ANYONE else.

ew. I love camping, but I don't camp in summer heat without water.
We're installing insulation on saturday and then going to a cookout which will probably end in drunk wawa. Sunday - headed out on the boat with the crowds. Hope we don't get run over. monday - motorcycle ride. probably finishing up the insulation and install blocking in the bathroom walls.

holy hell. Good luck. Am I going to be doing these crazy things once I start in June?
Running all three days - this is the goal. I have been super lazy sooooo... My b'day dinner tomorrow - Italian family style, nope won't be putting that one in the MFP food diary. Planning on wearing a maxi dress - stylish and plenty of room for my future overstuffed belly!
Define "fun". Mulching and veggie garden planting (shaddup, I know...I always put this shit off 'til the last minute though and still end up wtih more veggies than I know what to do with)...since J is working all damn day today/tomorrow/Sunday, much of this will be accomplished with the help of my parents. And beer. Lots of beer.
We are actually being social at a surprise b-day party on Sunday. Dh gets his first paid day off since Christmas on Monday so we are doing *something* - might see the local playland thinger or see a parade?
I am going to win the loser of the weekend award. I have two manuscripts that I'm trying to finish and get sent out to journals...so I'm going to be doing that.
I will also ride my bike and swim for my duathlon training, but other than that...work.

Well, I was going to whine about planning to baby proof the house (and being a lazyass for not having done it sooner) and having no particularly special plans other than taking DD swimming for the first time - but I won't. You have my sympathy.
