I’m drinking coffee this morning and that always makes me a liitle crazy, or at least hyper. My To Do list is growing by the minute. I’m filling it with mostly fun stuff, tho. Anybody want to share what they’ve got planned for the weekend?

I’m taking a concealed carry class. Not for any particular reason. I had a free couple of hours this Sunday and I saw class that was being offered cheap. That would be the highlight of my weekend.

I’m going to drive around and look at some houses that are for sale. Also buy some groceries and maybe catch a movie.

I’m drawing, while my bed sheets are in the wash. I was thinking about going to the Toronto Auto Show but decided not to.

Now…this isn’t my normal weekend…so don’t get the wrong idea…

Today, I’m helping to run a charity Tea for my local community garden. (There’s an Ask the guy running a charity event out there from last year, if anyone is curious).

Tomorrow, I’m taking a formally homeless friend out to lunch, and then a friend of mine is going to Home Depot and Lowes with me to help me pick out toilets, times, ceiling fans, etc as part of my total house remodel.

So yeah. Busy this weekend. One of these days, I’ll get to sleep in.

This morning I went and got my hair trimmed and highlighted, and had the beautician put a streak of pink in the side!

Right now I am in a bubble bath.

I hope my nieces come visit this weekend but otherwise my fun is already done.

Chemistry homework is the priority. Climatology homework is secondary.

If my best friend can find a babysitter we will probably go to Foxwoods to play Bingo tonight. If she can’t we might go out to dinner.

Relax, maybe some gym time. Probably watch UFC, potential for a date, plot and scheme a little bit.

So far I’ve crocheted a lot while watching a DVD. (“Unknown,” with Liam Neeson. meh) Planning the soup for tomorrow so it can simmer while I catch all the pre-pre-Oscar coverage. The Academy Awards are my Super Bowl.

I’ve spent most of the day putting away freshly cleaned costumes and props. In a few minutes, I’m going to go crawl under my project car and see if I can figure out what size bolts I need to attach the engine to an engine stand when I hoist it out.

Later, I plan to make gumbo.

That is so cool. My weapon of choice is vodka and sometimes when I cop a buzz I do “drive-by-posting.” 😉 Drunk crocheting would get me into less trouble but I can’t count the rows.

That’s kind of the whole point of drunk crocheting. Whee!

I thought you were going to say you were in Viet Nam. I was prepared to be jealous and give you a list of suggestions of things to do.

I spent my weekend doing suburban “quiet life of desperation” stuff: walking the dog, grilling, gardening, etc. How did I get so domestic? Still, a good weekend all in all.

Nope, not in Vietnam. That was the only thing I could type that would sound as loud as I felt.

Well, I finished the crochet project. Yah! Now to sew together the other one…(it’s complicated. Don’t ask. I don’t know what I’m doing.)

Oh! And I’ve been selling my husband’s Harley Davidson accessories on Craigslist. (Don’t ask.)
