It's Pretty Much Friday...Follow

This will be my first relatively stress free weekend in quite some time, I'm very excited. I sold my house on Tuesday, so that's out of the way as is the moving, packing, cleaning, etc. Hannah and I are heading down to Smash-house this afternoon, fireworks tomorrow night, 4th festivities on Saturday (not sure what, it will depend on weather...might go to the parade or something). If it's rainy, maybe a trip to the build a bear workshop. And there will be wine...oh yes, there will be wine.

We'll be celebrating with a "Cut Loose Those Ungrateful B'stards" party.

Good riddance!

I'm working all weekend, but we're going to try and see the city fireworks after I get off. But then Monday, we're heading up to the mountains to play in the river and roam around the trails. Should be nice there, everyone else will have gone home already, so the crowds will be minimal.

Happy Anniversary.

We're bbqing tomorrow for son, gf, and a couple more of his buds - if it doesn't rain. I told um all if it is, I'm not cooking.

We've had rain 22 of the last 30 days. It's Thunder-storming right now, and power is out at my office (my laptop is fully charged however). I'm going to persevere here til my battery goes out.

Typically I pick strawberries on 4th of July weekend, and I am still planning to. But I'm not sure how the picking will be. The strawberry yield thus far has been scant and overly ripe.

The World-dominating slugs have now completely eaten my dill - they didn't even leave a stem. They're almost done will the basil. Apparently rosemary, parsley and sage are not to their liking.

I actually have a 4 day weekend because of the World Economic Crisis (WEC). We have a mandatory day-off without pay next Monday.

I got my period so sex isn't even looking like a possibility. All-in-all, I'm kind of blehed-out about the whole weekend.

My husband, who never goes to movies with me, has mentioned wanting to see Iceage 3, so maybe that will be my excitement to look forward to. Whoopee.

Edit - dang, power just came back on at work.

Today and Friday off. Cubs game tonight, bar tomorrow, barbecue on Saturday.

It's going to be an awesome weekend.

You missed an F. Well, I'm sure you won't miss it, but you failed to list it.

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck

The wife and I have a wedding to attend on Saturday the 4th. They're marrying at a local casino resort (Foxwoods Resort in CT), so there's a 105% chance I will not be sober and will have spent a large portion of our "party" funds in a very short amount of time.

Sunday, after nursing my hangover, we are to drive home and immediately begin our week long renovation of the kitchen, which I've been preparing for since April. Monday, the dumpster get's dropped off in the morning and Demo begins, so Sunday will be mainly cleaning house, moving things around, and packing away all the dishes/etc. to store until we're finished. If anyone is in Western MA and willing to work for beer next week, send me a PM!

I've bagged most of the Presidentials in the White Mountains. Yeah, if it's raining, above tree line won't be very fun.

Happy Anniversary tare & gratz to DSD (You're freeeeeeeeeeee)

I have no plans. I did suggest that we watch fireworks, it's just a matter of where & time. I have a math test monday and a math final on thursday, so I want to spend the weekend studying. (after that, besides Behavioral Statistics, I'm done with math.)

If it isnt too hot, Ill play with Suki in her kiddie pool. It's been over 100 every day for the past week and a half.

maybe I can live vicariously through some of you ;) I look forward to hearing the "after" stories...

Happy anniverary Tare! and congo-rats on housy selling Nexa!

I'm just relaxing from last night, A.k.a. "the unscheduled government mandated trip from hell". One of my duties in the IT department is to run the equipment for any of our A.V. gigs (press conferences, large meetings, etc.) Our setup weighs literally 1 ton ( we weighed it on a truck scale out of curiosity) so it takes a bit of planning and effort, and a very large van to move it anywhere. We had one event tuesday, which they told us about and we set up as normal with good planning. then i get a call wednesday, at about 4PM "so you guys are setting up for the event tonight at 6PM way down in oregon too right?" me: "um, no?". So we toss everythign back in the van, having just packed it up from the last session, drive over there like madmen, set up just in time, and save the day. Which is apperently about when our van decided that it no longer wishes to live in washington and refused to go anywhere after we had already loaded it ith all the gear. So, we got to push the fully loaded V10 engine giant van out of the tow away zone, up a small hill into a legal parking spot, then offload all the gear into two smaller vehicles, then offload it from them to the storage room. Needless to say I will not be going to the gym, or even moving for that matter for quite a while.

This, unless the house mysteriously explodes or catches fire over the 4th, may possibly be my last weekend in an appartment. I'm trying not to jinx it by posting any pictures of the house anywhere, but it's a nice little 1900 sq foot place out in ridgefield, wa, about 1/4 a mile west of a huge nature preserve.

other than that, 4th festivities planned, and movie watching may occur.

Preaching to the choir, man. I was out within 2-4 days with Ashe and Xavier. But Ped wanted Soren in for 2 weeks due to a lot of flus going around right now and swine flu I finally got the midwife to reprieve my imprisonment. So I am out guilt free wheeee!

is it served by salt tea sea dogs?
