Any big weekend plans?

[Shine]

I've heard there's some sort of game going on, right? :eyes:




:popcorn:

[In_The_Wind]

1. Big Plan ~

Finding the floor in the living room.

[Shine]

15. hopefully you can also find a couch to lie down and RELAX on, too.

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

65. I'll find plenty of time for that ...

I don't want to become overbearing.

I just want to escape onto the open road in a few months with nothing hanging over my head except beautiful blue sky.

[LSK]

2. SLEEP

And some reading and lounging.

[Shine]

17. Sleep sounds perfect to me.

interspersed with some "horizontal exercise", if I'm lucky, heheh. That would make it even MORE perfect.
:evilgrin:

[CatholicEdHead]

46. Sleep is always good

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Studying for political science and psychology tests.

Fun stuff.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Game? What game?

Pass the popcorn, would you? Thanks!


:popcorn:

[SeattleGirl]

9. OMG! Peggy has morphed into Crazy Guggenheim!

:rofl:

[Shine]

18. LOL! exactly.

:popcorn:

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi Shine! I'm going to be watching that some sort of game

because my Seahawks are playing! Other than that, probably just putter around the house, take care of some things.

:hi:

[Shine]

19. Go Seahawks! rah, rah.

Hey, if you're happy, I'M happy....

:hi:
Have fun, whatever you do.

[SeattleGirl]

50. Thank you, Shine!

:hi:

[billyskank]

6. I'm staying in

Blessed relaxation :7

[Shine]

20. Sounds perfect to me.

maybe even take a mid-day nap.....ahhhhh

:hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

7. Watching my sisters kids from 7-10pm tonight..

After that a cocktail party.. Saturday, I don't know. Sunday, BBQ, Beer, Football.

[Shine]

21. How nice of you to watch your sister's kids. Cool Uncle O.

;)

Have fun!
:hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

52. I'm a babysitting machine.

I have spent about 30 hours this week watching them.. Normally it's only three kids, today I had seven (plus -- sweeping,moping,dishes,folding clothes,cleaning cages,and a ton of other shit.) I need a beer.. Jesus fuck.. These tards get fucking awards for makings millions (actors).. The real heroes get shit for the hardest work (mothers).

Props to the dads that help out too.

[Shine]

56. Yeah, I'm a full time, stay at home mother, so I've been there.

and I AM there, some days! hahah. I "only" have two kids, though, and they're both in school, so I've paid my "early year dues".

Props to ALL who make a difference in the life of a child....

:yourock:

[jane_pippin]

8. No, but I'm in a great mood all of a sudden.

No work until tomorrow night--Yay!

I managed to leave work today, go to the bank, go to the grocery store for veggie lasagna stuff, go to the liquor store for beer, and get home in 45 minutes....on foot! (I'm kind of stunned!)

Right now it's some DU time, some Randi, and later--I make the veggie lasagna, clean the house, have a beer, and do whatever I want for the rest of the weekend. (Except for that stint at work, but I like that job so even that's not going to put me in a bad mood.)

And the game? Meh. Sports don't register for me and I have a decent DVD collection and lots of books & stuff to amuse me instead so...YAY again!

:toast: to a nice weekend and to you.

[Shine]

23. Thanks, jane! and I'm glad you're in such a great mood.

gotta enjoy 'em when they come....

mmmmm....veggie lasagne sounds delicious.... :9

Enjoy!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. I'm dog-sitting for my bro.

But I'll be back in time for the Stupor Bowl!

[Shine]

24. the "Stupor Bowl" that's funny.

:rofl:

yeah, that's probably about it, huh? Have fun!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

62. Thanks!

Cheers! :beer:

[tigereye]

37. hey Goddess!

I'm actually going to watch, since I do, after all, live in Pittsburgh. And my kid is way into it.


Typically we would just go to the museum or Ikea, instead.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

61. I like a good football game...

but I feel like such a slug when I sit there for 4 hours staring at the tube and eating. I just started knitting...that ought to keep me from going ape over the chilicheese dip. :9

[tigereye]

72. I'll be eating blue chips

my husband made anise-almond biscotti
and I'll be drinking throatcoat tea, since my throat is alas, sore.

[RumpusCat]

11. going to Atlantic City!

Gambling, drunkeness, and loose women! Well, just my girlfriend. But still. :evilgrin:

[Shine]

25. Party on!

:thumbsup:

[skygazer]

12. Yes, for a change!

Tomorrow morning, we get a hitch installed on the truck so we can haul our utility trailer when we go camping (the trailer carries all our gear). Then we're going to Monterey tomorrow night for a concert which should be fun.

On Sunday, my sweetie is going to his buddie's house for a super bowl party so I get the house all to myself! Oops and I are going to curl up with a good movie and a bottle of wine and enjoy.

(That popcorn looks good!) :hi: :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

14. I want a pop-up trailer.

I understand what you are saying--you have a utility trailer for all of the stuff you have to lug along when you camp.

I want a pop-up trailer. Used to, you could get them for a steal here, but then Katrina hit, and anyone with any kind of liveable trailer started asking double what they were worth. So, now, a pop-up trailer (used) costs about $3000.

I'm getting my jeep repaired this spring, and then we'll just borrow my Dad's trailer when we go camping. It's a nice sized lo-boy, about 8 x 20, and we can set up the picnic table on it.

[Shine]

26. Sounds great. I love camping, too.

and what a great treat to have the house to yourself on Sunday, too! Lucky duck.
:hug:

Have fun! :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

13. Out of town tomorrow and Sunday...

with MMjr. and a guyfriend. We're going to visit an Indian resort and have a hi-ho ol' time. :D

[Shine]

27. That sounds like fun. It's good to get outa Dodge once in a while...

:thumbsup:

[Maddy McCall]

73. Speaking of which, it's time for me to get out of Dodge.

See ya round. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

16. Party at my house for the Stupor Bowl!

:bounce:

[Shine]

29. I just heard this expression for the first time upthread.

;) it's funny, and oh-so-appropriate.

[Deja Q]

22. Going out to the MoA tonight. Gonna people watch! And

I won't bring my camera because the cops would take it away. (I was going to take snaps of people looking at me so I could get input as to whether or not they think I'm cute or a freak...)

Tomorrow try to finish up my website work for real this time. Do some cleaning too.

Ditto for Sunday.

[Shine]

30. MoA?

:shrug: I love people-watching, too.

People are fascinating, don't you think? :hi:

[Deja Q]

39. Mall of America...

And people are fascinating. Said from a person who doesn't understand people. :rofl:

[Shine]

44. Mall of America. who knew?

sometimes I think we get too caught up trying to understand what we see.

I think there's something to be said for just being a Sacred Witness, so to speak.

Observe, with Compassion. Do you know what I mean?

what I always notice is how unique and different we all are....and yet the same, too. :hug:

[huskerlaw]

28. Tonight: the beach

Tomorrow: kitten hunting, a hair appointment, and sushi with some DUers.

Sunday: did someone say something about a game? :popcorn:

[GOPisEvil]

34. Kitten hunting?

You're going HUNT KITTENS?!?!? Are you some kind of freak? ;)

[huskerlaw]

36. No, see, here in the civilized world

the word "hunting" isn't automatically associated with redneck freaks toting semi-automatic weapons in order to slaughter Bambi's mom.

Rather, hunting means "looking for" or "searching for" as in...I am going to be looking for a kitten, to, you know, adopt.


:P

[GOPisEvil]

38. I've lived in Texas too long.

I gotta get outta here! :P

[Shine]

47. mmmm....sushi. I could live on that stuff.

have fun and I hope you get a cute kittten. You must post pix, afterwards, OK?

:hi:

[huskerlaw]

57. Will do!

I'm going to check on personalities tomorrow, but I'm hoping I found one. I'll certainly post pics if I get a kitten.

As for the sushi, I'm a newbie to sushi-ness. But so far I've been impressed!

:hi:

[fiddlestix]

31. Saturday night, I'll be LAUGHING LIBERALLY!

Premium seats, Center Orchestra, Baybee!

Here's the link...

http://laughingliberally.com/

[Shine]

45. I LOVE it!! Looks like an outstanding way to spend an evening.

have a super fun time and I wish you lots and lots of belly laughs!

welcome to DU, btw, fiddlestix! :toast:

[fiddlestix]

59. Thanks!

It's fun here!

[two gun sid]

32. No Superbowl for me.

I'll go see my horses train. I also must go look at a trotting stud I want to breed my mare to.

[Shine]

48. Horse guy, huh? Cool.

happy match-making! ;)

[qnr]

33. Standard. Make a valiant attempt to end up two days older

:hi:

[Shine]

49. It's the little things that get us through, right, qnr?

:hi:
I hope you end up not only older, but wiser. Too tall of an order in just two days? :shrug:

[qnr]

85. Wisdom is ok, but I just hope I remember where I put my keys

:hi:

[GalleryGod]

35. Avoiding IT at all costs ! Broadway tickets !

Less than ZERO interest in this Testosterone Tussle:puke:


Jonothan Pryce (Miss Saigon) in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels":bounce:

[Shine]

51. You and me both, babe. So NOT into the sports thang. But hey,

whatever floats yer boat, I say. To each, their own.

Very cool about your tix. I love Jonathan Pryce. Sounds like a great show. Have fun!
:hi:

[RPM]

40. Here we go Steelers, Here we Go!!!!

*clap*clap*

[Shine]

53. woohoo!

is it Steelers vs Seahawks? Football, right? heheh.

[tigereye]

41. usually I don't care about the SB

but I live in PIttsburgh, and the boy is really into it, so I think I will be biting my nails. It's fun to watch Troy Polomalu run, he's a wild man!

Plus my son's buddy is coming over for a sleepover - so I'll be listening to lots of computer-type blasting and board game playing, I suspect.

And eating Halls, I'm getting a cold, too. :(

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

42. Take care of your cold! And remember...

Here we go Steelers...Here we go!!

P.S. A little Nyquil Saturday night may make you fit and ready for the Sunday bash.:toast: :party:

[tigereye]

68. I'm drinking some "throatcoat" tea

so we'll see. It's not too bad.

[Shine]

54. Now, YOU'Re getting sick? bummer

well, hang in there, gf. Hope it passes soon.

I don't know who Troy whatever is, but as long as he's cute, that's cool by me. heheh.

I like their little uniforms. But I'm definitely NOT planning on watching, though.

:hi:

[tigereye]

70. he is a beautiful young man of Samoan origin

and he has this long black hair that streams out behind his helmet. It's really nice to watch.

I can't find a pic of him running, but here's a head shot.



ordinarily I am not a football nut, but ....

[Shine]

74. Mmmmmm.....tasty.

:thumbsup:

[Radical Activist]

43. Not at all.

My plans were canceled after an email discussed in a popular thread I started.

[Shine]

55. Bummer, dude.

well, things change.....chin up, young man. :hug:

make some new plans! hope ya have fun, whatever ya end up doin'...

:hi:

[Radical Activist]

58. Thanks

so what are you doing anyway?

[Shine]

60. Hey, thanks for asking, RA. You're the first one.

I'm going out on a "date night with the hubby tonite. We're gonna do the dinner/movie thang. Sat nite, I'm going out with some women friends and Sunday we'll do some family activity with the kids. We got two of 'em, ages 9 & 12. A girl and a boy. :thumbsup: Yes, "I'm blessed". heheheh. ;)

:hi:

[Radical Activist]

64. I'm surprised

that I was the first to ask. It sounds like you have a good weekend planned. Have fun!

[supernova]

63. Housework and probably a movie on Sunday afternoon

to get away from the game.

This is the first free weekend I've had since I came off jury duty (worked otherwise) and boy has my house suffered. :P

So, I'm doing that tomorrow. And sunday I'll probably see Brokeback Mountain.

[Shine]

75. Cool. I'll be curious to hear what you think of Brokeback Mtn.

my advice: take kleenex.

Enjoy your w/e, supernova! :hug:

[Left Is Write]

66. I heard the same thing.

I think I'm bringing deviled eggs and a vegetable platter to the party. I might eat some hot wings and have a beer or two.

[Shine]

76. I love deviled eggs.

Have fun! :hi:

[Gold Metal Flake]

67. Now that the white veg truck is on the road...

...I can now put the engine together for the brown one. It's a 1980 VW "Caddy" Pickup with a 1.6L diesel and a five speed. I have to take the engine off of the stand, put the flywheel and clutch on it, attach the trans, put it on a rolling platform, shove it under the truck and lift it into place. Then I have to put the cylinder head on it and blah blah blah.

Sunday it a trip for some goldfish and then the Puppy Bowl. I got money on the two Springer Spaniels.

[Shine]

77. Wow, sounds like a full weekend.

that's cool that you're a "car guy". :thumbsup:

[Gold Metal Flake]

87. Thank you!

Today actually went well, and I got a lot accomplished. It's been apart so long that I had to keep looking at my other VW pickup to see where stuff went. No show stoppers. But, I am real sore this evening, and my lower back is killing me. I used to thrash on cars 18 hours without a break, but I was 16 and 135 lbs. I'm 42 and 205 now. Oy.

Well, the second day is usually not so bad. We will see what tomorrow brings.

[Shine]

88. Hey, we're the same age....well almost

:) I'll be 42 in March.

I hear ya on the low back issues. It's a trip gettin' older, ain't it? heheh.

:pals:

[LeftyMom]

69. Well apparently I'm cleaning house and feeling like crap :(

Happy Weekend to me! :sarcasm:

[Shine]

78. Oh, sorry sweetie.

:hug: hang in there, it'll pass...

[LeftyMom]

86. Thanks

I was over-reacting (big surprise there, huh?) and things are looking up. :) I'm still going to eat my weight in junk food, though.

[sundog]

71. working, probably party a bit tonight

:party:

[Shine]

79. Sounds like you know how to balance work with play.

My kinda guy...

:thumbsup:

[unsavedtrash]

80. football, hot wings, and beer n/t

[Shine]

89. Not necessarily in that order, right?

;)
have fun and welcome to DU, btw! :toast:

[hippywife]

81. Hello, my friend!

Went to our monthly peace demo this morning. Now just relaxing. Will probably do more of the same (relaxing) tomorrow along with some housework and baking. Ain't life exciting?

Hope you and yours are well!

P.S. I am now officially cut off from the PIG. No more streaming unless one buys into RealOne. :cry:

[Shine]

91. Hey there, hippywife!! OMG, no PIG?! I'm so sorry, gf.

I never listen to it online, obviously, so I have no idea how much of an investment RealOne would be. That sucks, though. I thought they did that a while ago, like 2 yrs ago. Did you just decide to cut back, due to cost? Bummer.

Life's good here. Busy, as per usual. Kids are healthy right now, thank god.

My 12 yr old son told me yesterday he actually WANTS to go to his 6th grade middle school "winter dance", next Friday. so that's exciting news...esp. given that he didn't even tell us about the first one. Hahahah. So this will be his very first school dance EVER. My little boy is growing up! I also must brag: he brought home his very first middle school report card on Friday and he got STRAIGHT A's!!!! That's my boy. :woohoo:

Have fun relaxing and baking! Sounds great. :loveya: :hug: :pals:

[hippywife]

95. Well, they did

go with Real a couple of years ago but the old Shoutcast stream was out there if one knew how to find it. No more. Real cost $5.99/month or $50 a year but for some reason the PIG has never worked there very well since the very beginning. Somewhere they are just not connecting all the time. And yes, we don't make much money so we have to make priority decisions about how we spend our funds. So, I'll just listen to other stations that still have a free stream. WDVX works very well most of the time but I'm gonna miss my PIG.

That's great that your son wants to go to the dance. I assume at his age it is just a mixer. I hope he has a great time.

Glad to hear that you all are well and happy. I saw your pic earlier this week (or was it last?) You're as beautiful as your heart and soul, my friend. Hugs to you!

[Shine]

96. Oh, thanks for your kind words, sweetie. I'm touched, truly.

:loveya:

yeah, the parents of one of my son's friends are thinking of having a little "pre-dance gathering" at their home, with like 5 girls and 5 boys...pizza, tunes...break the ice sorta thang, then they can all go to the dance together. Doesn't that sound adorable? Gawd, I NEVER went to any of my school dances when I was his age. chuckle, chuckle.... It's weird.

Anyway, again you have my condolences about the KPIG thing. I'd miss it, too. :pals: We gotta make our priorities, afterall. I can totally respect that.

xoxoxoxo darlin'! See you 'round....

[bigwillq]

82. Super Bowl party at my cousin's!

:bounce: :hi:


We are having a beer pong tournament! :)

[Shine]

92. Dude, what the hell is a "beer pong tournament"??

soungs like a combo of beer drinking and ping pong. I'm intrigued....do tell.

Sounds like fun, whatever it is. :thumbsup:


:hi:

[flamingyouth]

83. I'm watching the game with my parents tomorrow.

My dad and I went to one of the first Seahawks games in the Kingdome almost 30 years ago, so this will be great. :D

[Shine]

93. I'm not into the game AT ALL, but I must say, I really like the name

Seahawks. It's a cool image. Have you happened to see the cool pix on Seattle Girl's sig line of a burning hawk? It's very cool.

Have fun, my dear! :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

84. Well, my big weekend 'errand'

was to find a nice outfit for when we go to Puerto Rico in two weeks.

Mission Accomplished. Thank you, Dress Barn.

Full disclaimer: I am a tee shirt and jeans with flip flops kind of person, so dressing up is something I don't do well.

[Shine]

94. Que bueno!!

Wow, Puerto Rico sounds fab. What's the occasion??

Good job on the dress. We wanna see pix eventually! :thumbsup:

[Midlodemocrat]

97. It is my husband's company's corporate trip.

I am really excited about it. We have been to some wonderful places with them, which is nice, because since he travels so much, he isn't big on vacations away from home.

I need a break, too. I have been covering for my co-worker because she is on maternity leave and between that, homeschooling my son, and taking care of my FIL and the other two kids, I am pretty burnt out.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

90. Yeah, I heard that too, somewhere...

I'm watching it just for the commercials, which I also heard were pretty good.... ;)

Today is just writing and finishing homework. Yeee-haaaw. :eyes:

[lizziegrace]

98. My duaghter's home for the weekend

:)

I really miss her when she's in the dorm.

I took care of the paperwork on the farmhouse and it's mine! (okay, I'm renting, but it feels like a home.) My daughter sketched the layout and we measured windows and found where the laundry chute goes and all. I wish the end of March were here because I'd be out of this hole and out in the country.

:hi:
