I up so early on a FridayFollow

I had to start the Friday thread early this morning, since I won't have much access to a computer this weekend. So post away your weekend plans. Jonwin and I are doing our normal Memorial weekend thing.

I'm up this early because today is the first day of Balticon44 and someone has to be there to set up the special need signs.

I'm all packed but for a few items that I can't find. Darn scatterbrain that I am, I'll just hope that things will appear at the last minute. Most likely next week when I no longer need them.

Anyway I'll be busy seeing friends meeting new ones and talking with writers, artist and scientists, for the 4 days and nights. The late night parties are great place to chat to the writers.

Jonwin will be there also, but has to work during the the day today and Sunday, then showing up just as he is needed to relieve one mind blown volunteer. He is running special needs as the Coordinator, but I get to do alot of the grunt work.

See you all Tuesday.

Work tonight and Sunday night. Car shopping Saturday.

Traitor! That was last weekend.

FTFY

Very lazy weekend! I've got a few things to finish up for a Baby Fair I'm heading to soon so I'll try and get those done. Otherwise sleeping in, chilling with the fam, and gaming are about all I want to contemplate

I am. Actually Im going as a promoter for a Moms Support group for other moms who are browsing the Baby fair. I assure you I am not buying anything there unless they are offering glasses of wine

I was scratching my vacation cap so I had to take a few days off or else lose them. So I'm off from tomorrow through Wednesday, work Thursday/Friday and then back to the weekend.

No big plans though. Cable guy coming for an installation and attending an awards thingie at my son's school on Tuesday since he's getting the Presidential Award for Educational Excellence or something like that.

I've heard they already have plaques made up.

Let's hope my son doesn't explode. That'd be pretty embarrassing for the president.

Tonight driving two cars to Tulsa, since neither car we own will hold all 6 of us. I will probably take the one child with me who wants to listen to loud screaming music.

Tomorrow, going to mow yard at my old house in the morning, then BBQ, swimming and stuff with the 'rents and introduce them to their newest step grandkids. Sat night, probably passed out from the day, heat, alcohol and the sunburn.

Sunday, go to grandmas, BBQ, swimming and stuff and introduce her to her newest step grandkids. Sunday night, drive home.

Monday: SLEEP

There's a brat fest in Wisconsin? I've been to several in Ohio.

My uncle had a boat on the lakes; granted it was Erie but it's not so nasty out on the islands.

Not much planned here. Hubby and I kept waffling back and forth on going camping. It was a memorial day tradition for years that we've ignored since we moved to this house. I think we tacitly agreed sleeping in a tent on a cold hard ground wasn't as appealing as it once one.

We need a Winnebago!

Well, I bought some poison ivy killer and went to work on more of the stuff out by the road. Damn, you could support the Golden Gate Bridge with these vines! I mean, not that you'd want to suspend a bridge with vines that can be chopped down with a hatchet and clipped with pruning shears, but you get my point. Pulled several three-inch-diameter roots out of the ground that had been winding up a tree. It's choking out everything, so much that I was just hacking away indiscriminately and probably killed some good growth. The tree on the neighbor's side has curtains of poison ivy hanging down like Spanish moss.

Played in the mud, quite literally most of the moning. 4 day weekend for me. yay! though for a while it looked like they were going to insist I come in and set up the AV gear for a meeting on monday. That did not occur however.

Raised garden is finally, after many delays, done. Who knew it was so damend hard to get dirt delivered. Dirt is also no longer dirt cheap by the way. It was raining all day, so not the smartest time ever to move dirt, but it needed to be done. Sprinkler heads installed in the raised bed, going to install the heads in the beds along the house itself tomorrow, maybe even a pressure test by sunday if I succeed in finding the water line to tie into. It has to be there somewhere, and I've found everything else so far (literally. I even found Jimmy Hoffa!)

Will also aquire some plants tomorrow. I know it's kind of late to start the garden, but I hope to get something at least this year.

Have discovered that my aquarium heater, the supposedly "unbreakable submersable no problems with it ever super duper heater of doom" heater has apperently split it's caising down the middle. I'm lucky my fish were not all electrocuted. It is however rather chilly in tropical fish land at the moment, so tomorrow will be emergancy trip to pet store to get a new one.

Monday having family over for barbiqueing of things. should be fun!
