> [@enipla](#): > > Gonna probably by a new grill to go with our new deck and deck furniture. > > But, they are predicting snow. Yep, snow. Hey new deck buddy! I am having a huge party tomorrow to show off my new deck. So far 20+ people have RSVP’d, which is twice the number I usually have at parties. I’m going to smoke some pork on the Weber gril, so it’d better not rain. It’s not gonna rain. Not gonna snow in CO, either. Nope. ---

Aw, I kind of wish I was free to drive down to Charlotte now! Anyway, tonight we’re going to dinner at Cafe Parizade, then Beauty and the Beast at the Durham Performing Arts Center. Tomorrow is building a play set for the kids - that won’t be fun, but having it done and seeing them play on it will be! ---

This weekend is something of a mixed bag for me. I get my lovely bride back from Birmingham, so that is a good thing. Unfortunately, I have to work both days (and next weekend as well) so that is a bad thing. I will probably listen to the game on Saturday hoping that USA scores at least one goal. ---

I’m about to head down to Oregon to attend my friend’s ‘pinning ceremony’. Apparently she gets a pin for graduating nursing school. Eight-hour drive today, ceremony and hanging out mañana, driving back Sunday (and dropping her cousin off so she can catch a train in Eugene). I’m looking forward to finding a Del Taco along the way. 😛 ---

I’m going to help my daughter out in her first village festival, she’s dressed as a soldier. I have no idea what to expect, but I get the impression that the pre-schoolers just walk round the village behind a float for a bit. Then [here](http://www.thebathpriory.co.uk/) for a night of unashamed luxury and handsdown the best food I’ve ever eaten. We’ve been before for super-special occasions (my mum’s 70th for insance) and the place is gorgeous and the food just sublime. My best friend and her family will be there too, and we’ve each arranged a babysitter for the wee ones, so I’m looking forward to sharing it all with her. Then on Sunday I’m having a **3 hour** massage/spa treatment. This is all to celebrate/mourn the fact that my best friend and I have turned 40 (well, I was 2 weeks ago, she’s in 2 weeks time). So all in all, a pretty damn special weekend. ---

I’m getting my hair cut and my eyebrows waxed this afternoon (I’ll look human again - yay!), and hoping the misting lets up to be able to enjoy the Highland Games for the rest of the weekend! ---

A friend’s son is getting married tomorrow evening at one of the local plantations. The reception is open bar. Looking forward to a nice evening and seeing my friend’s son get all hitched up. Plus there’ll be some people there I haven’t seen in a while so that’ll be good. ---

Actually, not a librarian, but my boyfriend and several of the Geeks are. But thanks for pointing it out - I corrected it! I’m glad someone knows what day it is - I never do! :smack: ---

Drinks and dinner on the deck with other neighbors Saturday night- golf Sunday morning and more drinks and dinner on the deck Sunday night… whew, need to return to the office Monday morning to sober up and prepare for next week-end… ---

Walking out of my office, not to return until Monday. I hate this place so much every Friday is like that blessed moment when the migraine medications start working. Looking forward to dinner with friends both Friday and Saturday! Whoo Hoo! ---

Tomorrow is the Irish Festival and the weather is looking good. I can walk to it so I can come home and take a break between bands and food. I may hit a sober dance Saturday night. DJ Hoodie takes requests and plays some good dance music. ---

> [@Hazle\_Weatherfield](#): > > Ah, finally got your username. Duh! A good friend of mine lives in Salida! Gorgeous! Yeah, Alpine is already taken. Oddly though, the doper Alpine also lives in the Colorado mountains too. AND she has the same somewhat obscure job that I do. And, like me, works for County government.
