The "what'cha doin this weekend?" thread

[13thChylde]

It's soooo gorgeous outside :flowers: I can't wait to get the hell out of this office and go home and play outside!

Tomorrow we're having some friends over to help with chainsaws and such. We're clearing out the brush around the pond, taking out the blasted sumac trees and having a bonfire! :flamer:

On Sunday we're going to the Ren Faire...I'm going crazy trying to find something to wear as I don't have any wench-attire. :lol:

What are you doing this gorgeous spring weekend?

[Earthy]

Ooh you're so lucky.The weathers awful over here so looks like i'll be stuck indoors all weekend. boo!!!
Have a great weekend though. :flowers:

Blessings

[Desert_Yaqui]

hmmm.... I just posted in a thread over in Just Silly.... I think I might hit the golf course this weekend!

I do have some freelance work to do but hey, a girl's gotta have her fun too, no? :lol:

[Immrama]

I am going to go geocaching with my parents. It's loads of fun. If you want to take a look and read up about it go to their webby.. www.geocaching.com

Man, that sounds like fun! I'm going to have to look into this some more...I plugged in my zip code and found some nearby caches!

Have a great time!

[Druchii]

like I do every weekend at the bar...
wish me luck! :)

[Avalon]

Sofa shopping.

[13thChylde]

Good luck! :drinking: Is it a dance-music bar or a live-music bar?

[Lesidhe]

i'm working tomorrow, and then on sunday i'll be doing school work. =/ fun?

[Bainidhe Dub]

Some more renovations on the house - my father is redoing the ceiling in one room, and we have tiered flower beds to bet built. Might go see a movie - I've got some kick butt new sandals to show off so maybe some shopping too :D

[Tzhebee]

well, tomorrow I have soccer at 8:30 for the girls and again at 11:30 for my boy. So in the afternoon, we'll probably go to the park and feed the ducks. Or clean the basement.

No idea for sunday....usually paintball, but we're waiting a couple weeks to get a group of us together and do some team strategy-type work.

Hopefully it stays nice so I can take the baby outside. He's still confused by grass and doesn't like to touch it! But it keeps him from sticking things in his mouth! :lol:

[Kaylara]

Tonight I have a date, then band practice until 1am... Tomorrow, I have gardening all day! (Dances) and a date with Traz at night. Sunday, I have no clue... It's supposed to be cold and rainy... I'm thinking about going through my closets and getting rid of a whole bunch of clothes...

[13thChylde]

Man, I wish I had a date tonight :smoke:

Have fun, Kaylara!

[Druchii]

Good luck! :drinking: Is it a dance-music bar or a live-music bar?

Mostly two DJs one up one downstairs. Occasionally "the Elders" an Irish rock band play there. We used to have a techno night, but it was a nightmare for us security guys what with all the ecstasy we would find.

What are you doing this gorgeous spring weekend?

Gorgeous? It's really cold and, as usual, raining like crazy here. :bundled:

I'm working this weekend (writers don't get a lot of days off, not if they have deadlines), and we're helping a friend try to salvage her computer this weekend. :chattin:

Yasmine *sighing for warm spring days* :colorful:

[13thChylde]

I promise to frolic in the warm sun and party like a rock star for all those who are stuck inside/in school/at work/in the rain, etc, etc. :lol:

[Kaylara]

Man, I wish I had a date tonight :smoke:

Have fun, Kaylara!
Oh I definately will! :D

[Jackiedanielz]

I'll be here tonight, tomorrow night I'm taking Valkie out to play :smoke: , and Sunday I'll take a nap

[Felidae]

Tomorrow: Laying landscape fabric and mulching over it, and relocating a periwinkle plant. Also planting Caladium bulbs. Probably laying out some DE because of the dratted earwigs and slugs - :grrrrr:

Sunday: Laundry (I always do laundry on Sunday) and either finishing the gardening tasks I didn't get to on Saturday or mopping and waxing the floors.

[menolly]

Tonite's a quiet night in for me, but tomorrow I'm helping Sianand Flidais' bf set up her surprise birthday party (it was her birthday yesterday). It's a fancy-dress party with a pirate theme, so we'll all be Jack-Sparrowing around the place! :apirate:
Then on sunday morning I've got band practice, and after that my time is my own!

I love weekends!

I want to go to both! We'll need pix from the party, menolly!

[PeleRising]

Lets see... tonight is my 14 yr olds last swim competition for her middle school. It doesnt start till 7 pm and will last 2 hours or so and is 45 mins away. Then when i get home i have to make some lables for a batch of soap I made for a soap swap...

Saturday ... Hubby will be away all day at a conference near Boston... eldest will be babysitting some of her cousins so it will be just me and the youngest... we have to mail the soaps... and after that go birthday shopping for one of my nieces... and I need to make another batch of soap.

Sunday we are going North to a birthday party for said niece... she will be six... so i imagine there will be a lot of rugrats running around and having a blast. Then when we finally get home sunday night we will all :zzzzZZZ:
:)

[Mythrel]

tonight I'm going to a movie and tomorrow I have to go play a show .... www.destrophy.com .... and sunday I have no idea... all I know is that I'm at the mercy of my girlfriend that day..

[Boogins]

Ooh you're so lucky.The weathers awful over here so looks like i'll be stuck indoors all weekend. boo!!!
Have a great weekend though. :flowers:

Boo? Yes? What'd I do???

It's supposed to be gorgeous this weekend... se we have the privilege of getting all the recyclables out of the garage and to the depot. We'll probably have enough returnable bottles to boy three weeks' worth of Chinese food. :D

And we were wondering why it was so hard to get the car in the garage.

[Radocs]

Well, my band practices Saturday morning, then it's off to the shooting range. Probably go back to the shooting range on Sunday...

[Old Witch]

:lol: Boogins, you have the same problem I do.
Everytime someone goes OW, meaning ouch,......I go "What did I do?"

[Old Witch]

I am going to go geocaching with my parents. It's loads of fun. If you want to take a look and read up about it go to their webby.. www.geocaching.com :eek: A couple of teenagers were geocaching a few weeks ago in the woods....they found a body and solved a mystery that was 10 years old..........

[MammaStar]

J-man is going camping with his boy scout troop all weekend. So Mamma has the weekend to play!!! :lol:

Tonite Eshallet and I are heading down to a local tavern. My friend's band will be there playing a gig. Tommorrow is "Mommy's Day" Getting a hair cut (finally!) and going to see JERSEY GIRL!!! (yes again. :lol: ) Which I recommend all of you to do this weekend. Head to the local movie theater and check it out. :p No, Kevin doesn't pay me? why do you ask? :huh: :lol:

Sunday is the usually, clean, grocery shop and laundry day.

[Old Witch]

Oh, and I'm gardening all weekend.....taking off mulch, cleaning fishpools....altho I'm stiil going to have to buy more fish because of that d @*n Blue Heron that lunched at my house late last Summer.

[13thChylde]

hehe, I knew we all did other things besides meet-up here :lol:

[MammaStar]

:lol: Yup, I actually get outside once in a while. :lol:

[Avalonia]

Tonight, I go over to my friend's house to celebrate her birthday (early, of course).

Tomorrow, I go on my search to find my Care Bears and to clean them because they probably smell all musty now. And... I don't know what else. It's actually getting warmer around here, and it's not like it's too cold to go outside anymore. About time.

Sunday. Blarg. Doing schoolwork for Enterprise because I'm VERY behind.

[Flaire-FireStar]

Well, tonight, I've got to go to a dinner at a neighbour's (that I'm not too excited about).
Tomorrow, I'll probably go shopping in teh afternoon, then go to see a comedian tomorrow evening (which I'm also not excited about. :rolleyes: )

Sunday, I have to get up early & do some jobs n'stuff, but the afternoon looks totally free.

[Athena my Goddess]

This week end,I'll do all my homework,especially chinese and latin. I'll have lot of time to do the ritual to help my best friiend who's having a serious breakdown.... So happy,isn't it? sigh!

[aluokaloo]

:lol: When I saw the whole chainsawe bit I was thinking a bunch of people running around scaring the life out of everyone else and revving up their chainsaw. Me and my visuals I know. :rolleyes: It is gorgeous, but I don't want to do anything this weeked, bound and hagged anyways.

[Fairywolf]

I am sitting at home for the fact that there is nothing better to do around here. :T

[Semele]

Same thing I do every week-end Pinky:

Go to work as soon as Mol gets home..come home go to bed, wake up kiss them goodbye, go to work, and repeat times three until fun fun manic monday when I terrorise MW with nonsensical posts and chat!

[AquariusWolf]

*sigh* I have to work tomorrow for a few hours at a school. Hopefully, we will have nice weather on Sunday - I hope to get some much-needed shoe shopping in!:lol:

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Basically...I am open to ideas. Realistically, I have alot of crafts and letters that I would like to get finished and in the mail.....who knows...maybe one of you will get something in the mail from me.....lol

[Boogins]

:lol: Boogins, you have the same problem I do.
Everytime someone goes OW, meaning ouch,......I go "What did I do?"

ROFL, you and I are going to have to ask people to be more specific, OW! And, no, didn't hurt a thing. :)

[Gala]

Well.... I have papers to grade and grades to enter into the gradebook and two tests to write. :sick:

But I also want to plant some wild flower seeds and clean out the pond so I can get it working again, so I can get me some more fishies.

[Yasmine Galenorn]

Ooo...what kind of fishies? Can my kitties come over and help with them? :smoke:

Hee hee, seriously, though, what kind of fish do you keep in it? And I love wild flowers...one of my favorite flowers is foxglove. Also lilac. Oh, and roses. Uh...add white ginger to that. Oh--and grape hyacinths! Uh...bluebells too....okay, I gotta stop. I'm just a flower nut!

Yas :colorful:

[zakzekezedd]

Given the weather report for the weekend I'll probably be staying inside and trying to get some sewing done. I finally got my hands on the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring (for only $10 no less--gotta love employee discounts on stuff ;) )..so I might have to do the LOTR marathon......

Yas :colorful:

Well that would be the question. I used to have koi and goldfish, with a few minnows thrown in just cause my dad went and bought them. (We live upstairs and they live downstairs, we share the yard.) I used to have fish. until the Racoons ate them all. Every last one of them.
So soon I shall: clean out the pond, build it a little higher ( It is above the ground because we live on a rock. I built it of rock and concrete block) and get some more fish. But I am going to put an electric fence around the pond or something. I just don't think I could go through the trauma of losing my babies again.
Thanks for the offer of your kitty, but we have 4 of our own cats outside (one that lives inside) and tons of neighbor cats, plus an occasional bob cat or cougar. Plus owls, roadrunners, red-tailed hawks, COONS, wild chickens, rattlesnakes, you name it we got it.

Wild flowers, are in a package of mixed flowers, not really sure what. I wanted some blue bonnets but I think I'll just enjoy them along side the roads. On my long drives to work I enjoy all the color. I'll let you know tomorrow.

[Boogins]

Rattlesnakes??? :eek: Scariest thing we have around here is the black widows in the garage. They make woodworking... ah, interesting.

[LadyWillow]

Probably going shopping tomorrow..and trying to enjoy the warm weather,just hope it stays that way.

[MerrisHawk]

Geocaching!!!!!
I've been stumped twice on the Stairway to Heaven cache. I WILL find it.

Right after I rake the yard. :hehehehe:

[menolly]

I want to go to both! We'll need pix from the party, menolly!

I'll do my best with my cruddy digital camera, but I won't promise anything worth posting! :lol:

[Yasmine Galenorn]

Rattlesnakes??? :eek: Scariest thing we have around here is the black widows in the garage. They make woodworking... ah, interesting.

When I was a kid and lived in eastern Washington (oh, how I hate it over there), we had black widows AND rattlesnakes to watch out for. At least over here in western Washington (which is essentially like a different country, both climate wise and attitude-wise) we have very few poisonous animals--though we do have the *shudders* hobo spider.

Yasmine :colorful:

[sweet nothings]

I get to....go to a party hang out with friends, do a report, read my books, and I babysat last night and got some moolah...wheee

[WandererInGray]

Not much of anything if I have anything to say about it! :D

Right now just hanging out and drinking coffee.

[Old Witch]

Again I'm gardening Gardening Gardening....just popped in for lunch and to check on whats happening here!

[Gala]

I just popped in to check on my virus scanner and download some pics to my computer.
Lunch sounds pretty good. :)

[13thChylde]

I'm having lunch too!

Have been tending & burning the bonfire since 9:00....next I'm going to clean the living room, make the bed, take a shower and await my friends' arrival.

I'm so nervous! They'll be our first people over -other than family - since we moved back to the country.

[amberwolf]

[Gala]

[SylverStar]

[Matt]

[Athena my Goddess]

[LadyWillow]

We are supposed to go to town..sooner or later today, looks like it's going to be later, lol

[zehava]

proof i need a life... colouring my hair (who knew doing funky colours would take so long with all the bleaching and washing and colouring! oh my!)

-z

[Jenne]

Ooh, would LOVE to color my hair. Will HAVE to soon as I'm getting more and more gray. Hmmf!

I'm out the door soon to go to dinner at Beni Hana's for a friends' b-day, and then we're all (7 of us girls!) going to Dave & Buster's afterwards. We'd do the nightclub thing, but it's not fair to the designated's, and I'm prolly the only one who'd get out there and bust a move anyway. LOL

So I'm sitting here "all dolled up" waiting for my sil to get here so we can go. We're stopping at the mall so she can get some shoes.

Oh, and tmro the outlaws (ugh!) are coming to brunch with us and my folks. That's it!

[Hoot]

You're coloring hair... and I just "colored" some sweat shirts yesterday, plus I've been painting a small sideboard/buffet and spent most of the day on that. It's actually starting to look pretty good (if I can keep the cats off of it)! Now I'm just outta the shower, letting my hair dry, and about to get ready for a long-awaited dinner and a movie date with my husband (who finally has a night off). We're going to see the Coen brothers' new movie "Ladykillers" with Tom Hanks in it.

:colorful: Have a great weekend, everybody! :colorful:

[Gala]

Ladykillers.. I want to see that.
Great to see you back Hoot.

xoxoxoxox

[MammaStar]

i got my haircut today and saw Jersey girl again. :D then spent nearly $200 on new clothes. :eek:

[13thChylde]

Yesterday we worked in the yard all day, and had a pretty substantial bonfire thru the day. Some friends came over (this was a huge event for me, b/c I have some weird phobia 'bout ppl coming to my house) and we had a cookout.

We were supposed to be going to the Ren Faire today, but it would cost $36 to just walk in the door, and I'm being conservative b/c my children are out on break for 2 weeks and will no doubt want to go! go! go! So I think we'll go to Duke Gardens and have a picnic and play catch with the dog.

(pouts) I really wanted to go the Ren Faire.

Hey! I got my hair cut yesterday too! *air five* Girl! How did you like Jersey Girl? I've been seeing the preview, looks pretty good, actually. I really like Kevin Smith--looks like he's growing up or at the very least, feeling the pressures of fatherhood, no? lol...

Phooey, I'd like some new clothes too; I will worry about that next weekend!

So today I have like this birthday party to go to for my niece. *eye roll* Kids birthday pizza party thingie... But later on this evening, after this party thing, I am hitting the GOLF course! I am totally stoked about that! Haven't decided yet to go and actually do 9 holes -- maybe I should work on my skills... by hitting up the driving range, the bunker ... I do really need to work on my bunker skills.. and my short game, of course. Your short game either makes you or breaks you... *sigh* Bah, I guess I'll just see how I feel when I get there.... then again, maybe 9 holds wouldn't be so bad. ;)

:D Nothing like real life game pressure to get you out of the rough and onto the fairway, no?!

DAMN I love this game!

[Psyche Ague]

I went to Penn State University with my roommate this weekend. We had the best time! We went to an industrial goth club / hookah lounge and danced the night away and last night we watched "Rules of Attraction" with a lot of really great people. It was a nice time. :)

[~ Monk ~]

Right now, enjoying the first 70+ degree day we've had in Chicago for what seems like an eternity. Poking around here a bit (obviously) and also checking out drum sets as I've decided I'd rather just have my own instead of borrowing someone else's.

Later on I'll be working out and then...I dunno. That's the beauty of the weekend. :D

[13thChylde]

Today turned out to be surprisingly wonderful :)

This morning, while having breakfast, we saw two pair of bluebirds checking into our birdhouses!
Twas so tweet :lol:

Then, the kids and I went to Duke Gardens and had a picnic lunch and just walked around, feeding ducks and taking pix. We went to Francesca's after for ice cream/coffee, and ran into a friend I haven't seen in ages. We made plans to get together next month.

Then, we went to the used bookstore, where we all found something awesome. The baby girl picked Despereaux, the baby boy got 3 Animorphs books, and I got Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs for me and Motherpeace Tarot book for my girlfriend.....who called me while at the coffee shop! :hearthear I haven't heard her voice in a few weeks, so that was a much welcomed call.

While at the bookshop, a man struck up a conversation with me and we chatted for a good half hour. He was a shaman from Guatamala, about 60 yrs old and had such pretty blue eyes. It was a pleasure meeting him.

Now, as long as DUKE wins this game against Xavier ~ this day will have been perfect!

And it has been a perfect day, baby!!! Going to the Final Four :deviltail I love my Blue Devils :hahugh:

Did you say drum set? Wow! I've been wanting a set for a couple of years now. But realistically speaking, I've really no place to put it--this is a small place :( and the neighbors aren't very friendly when it comes to noise, or music for that matter! Yeah, security has come knocking on the door before--big surprise, huh? :lol: I guess my neighbors don't fully appreciate Les Claypool talking about "Too Many Puppies" at six o'clock on Saturday mornings! *sigh* However, back to the drums, I was looking at one of those nifty electronic ones that you can play with a set of headphones. I didn't have the fifteen hundred dollars at the time... Maybe in the coming year I will think more seriously about acquiring a set. I love the drums--I even have a set of sticks--just no drum set. I remember wanting to be Moon "the Loon" when I grew up! Man, I love the drums!

:thumbsup: ~ Monk ~ I hope you get YOUR set, buddy! You'll have to get someone cut an MPG of you doing your thing.. that would be awesome!

[13thChylde]

Me? I plan spending tomorrow morning planting herbs in the garden. Not that kind! :lol:
Rosemary, lavender, basil, oregano, thyme, patchouli, chamomile, etc.

I hope to see some of the Duke/UConn game before we have to go out in the evening.
GO DUKE!!!

Tomorrow night we're going to dinner with friends and then to a concert by our local musical supah-stah Tift Merritt....www.tiftmerritt.com. She's awesome.

Sunday, I have no plans...might keep it that way and just see where the wind blows me and the offspring. Maybe we'll go fly kites.

[Gala]

My daughter was in the TIPS program that Duke does with 7th graders...

She was a very smart kid. Still smart but made some really dumb choices.. but .... don't we all??? I know I did. Luckily, mine are mostly over. She is only 23 so she has quite a way to go.

[nomadicdragon]

I'm planning on sitting on my porch and working on the play that i've been writing. That about covers the extent of my energy for this weekend. LOL

I was in that program! That's the one where 7th graders take the SAT?
And then I went on to make many, many mistakes....

But, I'm making up for them!

[Old Witch]

I'm going to a wedding........

[Fairywolf]

I get to see Darkstaff tomorrow.....*does happy dance* :lol:

Had to share my happiness :T
