Weekend Plans? What are yours?

[bicentennial_baby]

let's see...Today, I'm doing my parents' budget, and then I'll probably clean the house, and knit on the porch (it's a beautiful day!)

Tomorrow, grocery shopping, buying new kitty supplies, and cooking, most likely. Maybe some beach frisbee if the weather's good.

Sunday, going home to see some friends graduate, coffee with the Ex, and picking up kitty! :bounce:

What are y'all up to? :hi:

1. weekend plans

Pat's picking up his son today and we're going to have the whole herd this weekend. My daughter's doing a run for cancer awareness tonight. Two of my boys have little league games tomorrow morning. We're all going to a party just for all the nursing grads (from my college) Sunday. Other than that, not sure, but we'll be busy enough. :bounce:

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Sounds like it!

Have a great time at the party, and congratulations from both of us on graduating! Yay! :loveya:

3. Today I'm going to clean house for a while

and then I'll fix dinner, take #4 son to baseball practice, then go to work. Tomorrow morning another baseball practice, then watch my Cubs game, then work, and on Sunday I'm not going to do any more than I absolutely have to -- well, except on Sunday night I work. And in between, I'll knit. I've almost finished the back of the sweater I'm working on now, I want to get to the front so that I can feel like I'm making progress.

[bicentennial_baby]

4. I haven't knit in soooo long....

I'm going to dig around in the stash today and see what I find. Might stop in at Webs on Sunday and pick up some yarn for baby clothes, for my friend Kim's upcoming baby. :)

6. I love to knit...

it had been a while, but when #1 son and his SO were expecting, I pulled out the needles and haven't stopped since. I found some really adorable (and free) patterns for baby sweaters online, so that's what I used since I can't find the pattern book that I used when I knitted sweaters for my own kids.

If you go shopping for patterns for you, look for a book called "Hot Knits"...it's got 30 of the greatest sweaters in it. I just finished one out of that book *post whore alert* (it's in my 'post a picture' thread) and I'm working on another one.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Oh, I saw that, it was beautiful!

I want to make something from my Vintage Knits book, but I have to wait until after the wedding/honeymoon to get the cash for the very nice and expensive yarn.

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Burlesque show tonight, then sleeping all weekend.

Should be fun.

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Oooh, have a great time!

Take pics :D

[SoxFan]

17. Waterloo?!?

My brother in law and my two nieces live in Waterloo. My brother in law teaches psychology at UNI.

[Debi]

26. Wow, wonder if I know him

We live in Cedar Falls but work in Waterloo (all of six miles apart). In June Cedar Falls will have it's summer celebration..Sturgis Falls Days. :hi:

[av8rdave]

[JackBeck]

9. Thinking about going to New Jersey Pride festivities on Sunday.

How could I pass up an opportunity to see Deborah Gibson, live and in-person?!?!

Other than that, we'll be taking it easy.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Haha!

I'm thinking about going to Boston Pride, it's next Saturday...Might be a nice break after my first fitting at the seamstress's :)

:hi:

[SoxFan]

15. Block party, debate, and the Sox

I serve on the community affairs committee for Neighborworks Manchester, and we are having a neighborhood clean-up and block party on the city's west side tomorrow. I'm tasked with bringing the hot dog steamer and bottled water!

On Sunday, I'm going to the Obama campaign's debate watch party.

And, of course, the Sox play the Evil Empire this weekend!

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Go Sox!

:bounce:

[SoxFan]

18. Life is good, ain't it?

I've got a friend who was born in Haverhill, Mass and raised in Exeter, NH yet is a Yankee fan. I've endured twenty years of grief from this guy. If the Sox sweep this series, I am going to be the most insufferable bastard the world has ever known!

[bicentennial_baby]

20. So far, so good!

:bounce:

[LeftyMom]

19. I'm going to the nursery to get fruit trees.

Then I get to plant them, so there will probably be posts from me about how much I hurt later this weekend.

[bicentennial_baby]

21. What type?

Lucky you. :hi:

[LeftyMom]

23. My Dad says to get two kinds of plums. Other than that, anything that strikes my fancy.

Probably some dwarf citrus, and beyond that I'm not sure.

[eyepaddle]

22. Picking up the pieces of my shattered life, or to put it another way

Running the Lower Louie again--there are good pictures in the "lower" section. I will however take out before Fin Falls. I'm getting better as a paddler, but I know I am not ready for that paltter of beatdown.

After five years of serious paddling I am finally stepping up to class IV and class V stuff! It's very satisfying t test yourself and pass, but I've been walking around nervous for the last couple of weeks thinking about this. (This will be the 3rd week in a row I've done this) I'm getting a bit more confident, but I still "feel the fear."

I'm gonna take a break and dial it back a notch or two after sunday though!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. Cleaning, writing, reading, drinking.

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Sounds like a plan!

Have fun! :hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. I'm gonna try to do them all at once, too!

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

29. Nothing

Pining for Monday? :shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Do you like Monday?

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

32. Well

I prefer the weekdays as opposed to the weekends.

[AllegroRondo]

34. Garage sale Saturday.

stop by if you want a good deal on used books and videos!

[bicentennial_baby]

37. If I lived closer,

I just might :)

Good luck with your sale! :hi:

[AlCzervik]

35. taking my daughter out for indian food, thank you Leftymom.

cleaning and maybe some yard work. I'm totally bummed today because my husband was supposed to come home on Monday but today he called me and told me he won't be home until the 12th, i'm disappointed and more than a little pissed off at his boss--it's always about his family, btw he's almost always stateside so when he claims he has a family thing it really tees me off. My husband is gone like 200 days a year and his boss hardly ever travels.

[bicentennial_baby]

38. Sweetie, that stinks!

:hug:

I could never be married to someone who was gone that much...Hell, Sniffa and I can barely stand 8-12 hours apart during the workweek!

Have a good Indian meal though :9

[AlCzervik]

42. hopefully this isn't permanent but it's going on almost 2 years, we've actually

thought about moving overseas, it still may happen.

[bicentennial_baby]

46. I hope it's not permanent too...

I'd love to move overseas...Someday, France :)

[seemunkee]

36. Depends on the weather

Our son is coming home for the weekend!! Our daughter graduates on Monday.
If it doesn't rain the whole family and my brothers-in-law are going bike riding on the Eastern shore on Sunday. Tomorrow is swimming and relaxing.

[bicentennial_baby]

40. Sounds like a lovely family weekend!

Have a kickass time! :hi:

[seemunkee]

50. Thanks

Hope you get the chance to get out and play some Frisbee. Too many chores makes the weekend no fun.

[Critters2]

39. Strategic planning, and heart palpitations. nt

[bicentennial_baby]

41. Take it easy there!

But hey, at least you know your bra size now! I need one of those fittings as well! :hi:

[1gobluedem]

43. I'm a 'celebrity judge' at Taste of Ann Arbor...

I'm not really a celebrity but that's what they call the judges. And I'm a picky eater.... But, I have a co-judge who isn't AND I get to wear a big badge that says JUDGE, cut to the front of the line, and sample food from 32 restaurants. :9

[bicentennial_baby]

45. Lucky duck!!

Have fun, that sounds awesome! :bounce:

[Lil Missy]

44. Moving back and forth between the bed and the couch.

Last weekend damn near killed both of us with all the activity annd running.

[bicentennial_baby]

47. Lazy weekends are so nice

Enjoy it! :hi:

56. Eventful!

Peaceful weekdays? What planet do you live on? :P

[Inchworm]

62. A quiet out of work

headed back to college in fall one :)

If all goes well, the planets all line up correctly, I'm still in area, and I get all the paperwork done. hehe :D (oh and no meteors hit house)

:hi:

[Rambis]

49. Missing a Nanci Griffith concert for free ARGGH!

My sister has another kid graduating so I have to miss Nanci for free. Two years ago I missed Richard Thompson for free because of another one of her kids grad parties! Not happy about this-

[bicentennial_baby]

57. Awww, that stinks...

:hug:

[Rambis]

64. Thnx (nm)

:hi:

[Nicole]

51. Spying on people

For real! :rofl:

Friends who live out of town are buying a house here. They have narrowed their choices down to 3. They flew in and did a tour with the realtor of all the homes last Wednesday. Now they want me to go check out the neighborhood on the weekend, when people will be out & about. They want to know what kind of neighbors they will have & hope I can see the ones living on either side of the houses.

ETA:
They are tired of complaints that the kids are too loud, stepped on the grass, threw a ball over the fence, breathed, etc.. They are hoping to live next to families with kids this time. Since all 3 houses met all the other requirements, the neighbors will probably be the deciding factor for them.

[bicentennial_baby]

58. Ooooh, you're a secret detective now!

lucky! :bounce:

[huskerlaw]

52. I have friends in from out of town

We're going to the Universal City Walk tonight and then out somewhere on Saturday night.

Basically, my goal is to be drunk for a very large percentage of the weekend. ;)

[bicentennial_baby]

60. Make sure to drink water!

:hi:

[MissMillie]

53. I'm headed to Maine
