This weekend I'm hoping to completely finish up the nursery (except for the things that just aren't going to happen until after she arrives - like painting the bookshelf), get the linen closet shelves and guest room closet hang bar installed, and get the linen closet organized.
And maybe get the kitchen trim painted. But that's probably pushing it because of course sunday is the superbowl and MH is a Raven's fan. And he loves party food. So we're probably going to spend a good chunk of sunday cooking up whatever ridiculousness he's dreamed up this year, and then heading to a friend's house to watch the game with our piles of cheesy goodness.
eta: I forgot about my imaginary package! This is ridiculously frivolous considering how much real stuff we still need to buy - but I really want one of those white ceramic owl lamps for the nursery. Or maybe some sort of tree-branchy lamp. Maybe in a dark weathered brass. Something woodsy but not too kitschy. I think instead I'm going to spray paint an ugly ass urn lamp we've got hiding in the basement and call it good enough for now.

H&G: not much. I'm going to do a lot this coming week, so I need to make sure I have all the materials I need.
Non H&G: Saturday we are going to see a band. Leaving both girls with a sitter. Eek! Sunday is my birthday. I HATE the super bowl. We are having an early Nikki Super Sunday party. DH wants to get a jar and make ppl put a dollar in every time them mention the super bowl.
My mystery package: H&G I would say the vent hood for the kitchen. It is the last big H&G thing we have to buy. (But really I want a new iPhone. My home button is broken and it is an PITA. Plus, MIL has a new one and the photos are SO much better!)

H&G: We've got our home inspection tomorrow morning at 9am. Everything else is moving along approximately as expected and we're thinking we'll still probably be closing Tuesday! (!!!!!) We're also thinking we'll drive up the hill a bit and check out the ReStore in an "older" town to see if they get any more period-correct stuff than the one down the hill.
Non-H&G: We're doing taxes this weekend. Yippee.
UPS package ... I could go for a couple bottles of really nice wine. Or a refigerator, but I'm pretty sure UPS wouldn't deliver a refrigerator. LOL
H&G: maybe organize my closet? Non-H&G: Maybe have a casual dinner out with the H (sans child *gasp*). Maybe buy a new outfit. Maybe head to a friend's house for the Super Bowl. A lot of undecideds this weekend. Mystery package: So many things I want um....a winning lottery ticket with enough winnings to redo the kitchen.

We are going shopping for DH new cowboy boots-he wears them to work. Goin to visit our niece then DH and I are going out to eat just us. Sunday I'm not sure hopefully relaxing. I just got my cross stitch iphone case in the mail so I hope to start on that. Id love to have a new king sized bed with new headboard delivered. Now that DH is working I can't stand him smothering me in the night.

1. My hubbs is getting paint for our kitchen. Thanks to you guys we decided to paint it a neutral color. Much to some of your dismay it's called 'Gray Beige' hehehehe Greige... I can't wait to get started even though I'm sick. (sinus infection) 2. I'd like to get my daughter's closet painted and get some wire closet organizers in there. 3. I bought her bedding so I can start getting paint colors and fabric narrowed down better. 4. Weather and sickness depending we may go to a winterfest at the local farm. 5. I need someone to watch my kid so I can lay down.
No plans really, just running some errands, and quality time w/ DD this weekend. Probably continuing to reorganize the office.
UPS did in fact leave two packages on my dorrstep this morning, a blackout roman shade and a decorative oar for the baby's room. I'm vaguely considering putting them up this weekend, but I should probably wait until DH gets home next weekend. We'll see just how much ladder use is required, my balance is definitely a little off right now!

I forgot the UPS thing. My rug lol. Shades of Light sent me a picture of it, but I can't see it on my phone (because it doesn't show an attachment?) so I have to view it on my computer but I haven't sat at my computer this week.
Tonight we're going out with friends. The rest of the weekend is dedicated to homework and cleaning. Sunday night will be spent watching the Super Bowl.
Tomorrow I have breakfast with girlfriends, we are going to Dream Dinners, and then doing some shopping. We have dinner and drinks with two couples downtown. In between we are hopefully installing our shelves!
Sunday I'm hosting brunch for my family. I'm doing waffles, breakfast casserole, and fruit. Sunday night we are hosting a Super Bowl party. I'm making a big nacho bar, we are ordering wings and people are bringing the rest.
It snowed overnight! My dog is going crazy because she loves the snow.
Today H is working and I have a pedicure scheduled. Not much else going on besides that. Tomorrow it's grocery, laundry, cleaning day. We don't do much for the Super Bowl. We might make some appetizers here at the house.
More purging and packing. DH is going to hose off the bins that I emptied when I purged holiday stuff so that we can put some of our 'not necessary before we move, but definitely want to keep', kitchen/entertaining stuff into storage.
I am hoping to accomplish a lot more than we did last weekend, when DH spent time on our taxes instead of helping me and we went to a movie. It was fun, but left me feeling a bit overwhelmed this week.
Other than that, we need dog food and groceries....nothing exciting. We will likely watch a movie at home rather than watching the Super Bowl, but we might make some fun snacks anyway.
