Happy {New Year’s} Weekend.

Just as the holidays are settling down and things are starting to resemble normal, I’m headed back to Pennsylvania for Orthodox Christmas (It’s January 7th according to the Julian calendar). I’ll be MIA next Monday through Thursday, but will make a rousing return Friday! Until then have a fantastic week.

This Weekend:
• make copies of house key for house sitter
• pack for Pennsylvania
• do laundry
• dinner at Buddha Tao with C & C
• hang out with A before he heads back to CA
• take down Christmas decorations

Happy New Year’s Weekend!

Happy Weekend.

The days went slow, but the week went fast and I’m glad the weekend is right around the bend. This is my last one at home before heading off to Pennsylvania for the holidays and I’m going to have to move at full speed to get everything that needs accomplished done! As much as I complain about the craziness and busyness of the season it really is a special time of year. But during any of the other remaining eleven months it’s completely unacceptable!

This Weekend:
• finish last batch of cookies (orange-cranberry sugar cookies for you curious-types)
• ship boxes of gifts and cookies to PA
• ship gifts to L, A and K
• deliver baby shower gift to J
• laundry, laundry, LAUNDRY!
• “Christmas” with my mom and stepdad
• clean up around the house
• prep kitten-cat sitter

I’m getting sleepy just thinking about it…

Happy Weekend!

Happy {Halloween} Weekend.

I’ll never turn down a weekend but I haven’t been this happy to see one show up in quite some time. Work has been a bit quite hellish this past week and I’m ready to relax and let loose! Not to mention Halloween being my favorite holiday and getting to play dress-up.

This Weekend:
• Halloween party at K’s
• handing out candy to trick or treaters
• watch the OU/Nebraska game
• laundry!!!
• groceries
• work on Christmas gift projects

Happy Halloween!

Happy Weekend.

First off, Roxy and I have neglected to thank you for all the well wishes sent her way while she was under the weather. After some meds she’s back in top form again, wrestling her brother and “functioning” properly. (Thanks to kitty laxatives!)

Second, have a fantastic weekend full of fall and pre-Halloween activities. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t decorate the inside of my house this year, only the porch with some pumpkins and crimson colored mums. And I’ve eaten most of the candy I bought for the trick or treaters and need to stock up again this weekend before all the good stuff is gone!

This Weekend:
• restock candy supply
• hit up a bake sale with my mom
• clean
• groceries – my cupboards are close to bare!
• change out summer for winter clothes in my closet – YAY!
• work on painting china cabinet (the never-ending project!!)
• find something to bake for work on Halloween
• out with C & K
• catch up one some sleepin’!

Happy Weekend!

Happy Weekend.

Woohoo for the weekend! Autumn weather finally showed up here in Oklahoma this week in the form of a cool front. I’ll take it! I’ve spent evenings layered up (because I refuse to turn on my heater just yet) and drinking tea. And nights cozied up in bed under layers of covers. This time of year always makes me homesick for Pennsylvania and the fantastic fall temperatures and changing leaves though.

This Weekend:
• start looking for recipes for Christmas cookies (I’m going to make a bunch to take home to PA with me!)
• purchase the last piece for my Halloween costume
• eat copious amounts of Halloween candy
• finish painting china cabinet
Mistletoe Market with my mama
• clean kitchen

Happy Weekend!
