Beating Mimi to the punch and asking about everyone's weekend plans....

Plans?
I have absolutely NOTHING planned. I intend to tidy up the house, play with my kitty kat, maybe do some laundry, and settle down either on the deck with a book or in the recliner watching movies. Of course, if someone calls and says lets go, I'll be out the door in a shot! I hope its not as hot this weekend as it was last weekend!

Everyone - Have a Great Weekend! Go out and smell the flowers and duck the lightning strikes!

Hey, no fair!
Just kidding. Thanks for getting to this, Outdoor. I've been busy here at work. But, I love this thread no matter who starts it.

Your concert sounds like a good time. I hope you're close to the action. Me, I hope to have a quiet weekend like Padee.

Tonight will probably be out to dinner at a new Lebanese restaurant Simon and I discovered last week. They have these great cocktails and very good small plates. My list of movies to see in the theater grows, so we might try to catch either The Ugly Truth (although another movie about how "career" women are all humorless, stern and really unhappy, I don't know...), Funny People, or District 9.

Saturday is my personal training day. My trainer will not be happy with me -- no cycling all week and bad food choices; trying to get back on track here. Then we'll be attending a BBQ at the western VA home of a colleague of Simon's. It'll be nice to see some rural country for a change. I'm also planning my birthday weekend (next weekend) this Saturday. We're thinking of staying over in VA beach, eating seafood, and lounging on the beach and hotel pools all weekend...

Sunday will be a relaxation, reading, movie watching day. Hopefully we'll also do some house cleaning, cooking, and get ready for another week.

Looking forward to reading about everyone's plans once again.

I'm back in the trailer again....
this time to the sunny side of the mountains~~Lake Chelan. Ahh, I can feel the sunshine now...as I lay on my big floaty in the lake.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Remember the song from the 80's...Everybody's working for the weekend...?

Go Brewers
Saturday evening is a Brewers game. (They haven't been doing so well lately but... GO BREWERS!)

Sunday will be my chance to try to whittle some of the tasks off of my 'before my surgery' to do list. Too many things on their yet and not much time to do them. Oh well, if it doesn't get done, it will be there when I am back in commission.

Have a relaxing weekend everyone!
Rita

Wishing everyone...
An enjoyable summer weekend, no matter what you do or don't do.

Tomorrow, we're heading with good friends to an annual nearby neighborhood event - "Edison Park Fest" - food, beer, live music, craft booths, etc. ...

Sunday we'll take as it comes.

Kind regards, Susan

Not much planned. Going to
Not much planned. Going to clean out excess stuff. And just doing nothing in particular.

Hot and Humid
Very Hot and Humid here in Maine.
May try and play a round of golf Saturday morning.
Sunday-church and then just relaxing.

convinced
My family has convinced me that we are ready to take in an exchange student. We were called with a real sob story. A German girl who had been placed in a home in the States has had her dreams of studying in the US dashed because her soon to be host family's dad is being deployed to Iraq. The 16 year old German girl's visa is about to expire! Won't we please, please, please take her in.

Our tiny community hosts 3-4 exchange students every year. I know from the experience of my friends that some kids fit right in and others can create a year from hell. Boy, was the pressure ever on. I am reading "Anti-Cancer" and taking seriously the chapter on Stress, while my family is heavy on guilt tripping me. "We won't let it be a stress for you." "We'll take care of everything." So I have given in. Now that I am getting to know Laura through Facebook and by talking to her, I am starting to get excited too. The school year for my kids (14 and 16) starts Wednesday. I leave to visit my mom in sisters in Atlanta Wednesday afternoon after I see them off to school. I return from Atlanta on Saturday, and Laura arrives in Boise the next day! So we are scouring our house and getting her room ready (Laura will have my eldest daughter's room. Kathryn is married and lives in Boise.). We also have "Golddiggers of 1933" as our Netflix. My kids have never experienced Busby Berkely (or however you spell his name), so this will be a treat.

Oh, AND our local community host a 2 1/2 day Music Festival, so we'll be hearing live music tonight. Busy, busy, busy. xoxoxox Lynn
