Any plans for the weekend?

getting more junk out of my house, bringing it to my mother's house to store, doing laundry.

Too bad it isn't last weekend-- that was a good time *sigh*

For those of you who haven't seen the messages I keep kicking, my band, The New Kings Of Rhythm (www.newkings.com) will be opening for the legendary Rebirth Brass Band this Saturday (Oct. 15) at Rex's (www.rexsbar.com) in West Chester, PA at 9 PM.

Other than that, doing work for my grad class and sitting in my classroom for two hours on Sunday for "Admission Visiting Day".

I can't wait to be done with work... only 4 1/2 hours before I get to leave :)

:toast:

Been feeling really stressed lately. I am glad we are just going to get the damned thing over with and move on. Phew. No big wedding for me!

Just make sure you enjoy it. I know lots of brides who were too nervous and stressed to really enjoy it and they regret it. I thoroughly enjoyed mine! Good luck!

My SO just moved from Napa CA to my little house in upstate NY last week, and we are getting married this week. Things have been a little stressed to say the least. I definitely plan to let loose once I get to Vegas though. Maybe I can be a walking advertisement for the "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" ad campaign.

Are you going for a wild Vegas theme, like Elvis? Or a quick chapel service?

I hope you'll share pics with us when you get back!:-)

It's actually at the Rio Hotel, they have a chapel there. The problem is that you spend sooo much money when you do the entire cocktails, dinner thing. The honeymoon suite is 3000 sq. ft. at the hotel, so we are having our 30 guests just come and hang out and party in our room with us. My SO is the sales manager for a Napa winery, so we have relatively free wine, and we are ordering some food from Whole Foods. Just keep it simple, hang out and then if we want to go cut a rug, the entire city awaits.

I've offered to hostess a houseparty at my home for a girlfriend who sells Arbonne Skincare products, so we're having a "Health and Wellness Party" tomorrow. Wine, cheese, skincare products...it's fun being a girl!

Saturday night is "date night", we'll probably catch a flick.

On Sunday, my hubby and I are performing with our choir. I sing alto. My hubby sings bass.

Who knows what the kids are doing? Probably watching too much TV... :)
kidding. I'm strict about that stuff.

Have fun, everyone!
:hi:

:)

Hey, is "Shell" short for "Michelle"?

Just curious....

:)

catch up on my work outs that I've been slacking on because I've been sick, exciting huh...

:hug:

and thanks for the hug:hug:

Still trying to kick this bug I've had all week. :(

:hug:

The good thing is that my husband spoils me. He thinks Ben & Jerry's is "medicine". :)

Thanks for the hug. :hug:

had BETTER get here with my stuff. After that, unpacking commences.

Oh well, it has to be done!! :)

Just another boring weekend. :(

I wish you were closer. We'd invite Uncle David over for roast chicken and cards. :hug:

The nice thing about not having plans is not spending money. :D

finish her book report, actually we aren't going until she finishes it.

Finnfan and Finnfan Jr. are coming over. Tonight, lots of snuggling at the end of a very stressful week (lots of tests). :(

Tomorrow, we're dragging his son and my oldest son to IKEA to get some more furniture (a few things need to be switched around before he moves in so my daughter has more space). Then they'll be rewarded with a movie, laser tag, or some other fun thing. We're making roast chicken for dinner and then he says he going to teach us all some card games.

Sunday, it might be fun to go apple picking with the kids maybe (weather pending). Not sure. Maybe just a mellow day before they leave.

Monday night after my class, he's coming back alone to stay until Wednesday morning. He's so awesome I can hardly believe it sometimes.

:loveya: It's great isn't it? I am happy for y'all!

LOL, it's actually true. But I only phrased it that way for fun.

My hubby has a gig in Montreal. Some old friends from college are coming over.

:)

Moving from a 1000 sq ft townhome to a 1330 sq ft apartment, all utilities paid, which will help out because winter prices are going to go bonkers. But, moving still sucks.

Good luck. You give me chills:scared: just thinking of past moves:hi:

There is always something that fucks up. :scared: Moves suck.

Today after work, I am picking up my new foster kitty! (see kitty thread for pic). Then I am driving about 60 miles to go out with a friend I haven't seen in a while. They do Karaoke while I laugh at them. Should be fun.

Saturday, I have to take a Defensive Driving course, and then I have dinner with a group including a state Democratic candidate. Then I head to the northern burbs to see my friend's band play.

Sunday... I still have to finish taking the plywood off my windows, and finish unpacking from the evacuation of Rita. I've been so busy since then that it's had to wait.

I plan to be at the game tonight (even if I have to buy tickets from a scalper) and Sunday.

GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strike your gait and win,
Victory we predict for thee
We’re ever true to you, dear old White and Blue.
Onward State, Onward State,
Roar, Lions, roar!!!

We’ll hit that line, roll up the score, Fight on to victory ever more,
Fight on, on, on, on, on,

(not going live and in person, but heading over to the house of a friend who has cable AND a big-screen HDTV)
