TGIF!!!!!!!!!

1) Plans this weekend?

Having a housewarming / birthday party this weekend. So, lots of cleaning and cooking in prep of that. It's pretty pathetic, but I'm pretty excited for a simple Costco cake for my bday cake. Plus BF has given me no hints as to what he is getting me.

2) What's your fav. breakfast?

My all time favourite is eggs benedict, Canadian style, eg. Canadian bacon. That's only for special occassions though.

3) Who does the laundry in your house?

Me, I'm still excited to have my own washer and dryer. They are pretty exciting - front loaders and RED! we jokingly call them my race cars.

4) Tell me a random fact

US professional soccer is bizarre. For  example, LA Galaxy have 25 players - David Beckham makes the most at around $6 million / year and Landon Donovan comes in next at around $2 million / year. Twelve other players on the team make less that $100K and four of those make less than $50K. Only reason I looked this up is I went to a fundraiser/before game party for a former Red Bulls player who was recently diagnosed with cancer and has no medical insurance.

5) Shaken or stirred?

Shaken, not sure I can tell the difference in taste, but shaking is more fun than stirring.

aperitisa

1) Plans this weekend?FI's parents are coming into town. Kinda.  Well, first we are meeting them in Indy for a family reunion, and I get to meet a BUNCH of FIs family that I have never met, and then we are coming back to Chicago (there and back in one day...three hours each way....let that one sink in...UGH!) and Sunday we are going to a Cubs game with the future in laws and some cousins from Louisiana.  i.e. BUSY WEEKEND! 
2) What's your fav. breakfast?mmmm, I'm eating it right now!  eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast!  Gosh I love working at a culinary school!
3) Who does the laundry in your house?We each do our own. 
4) Tell me a random factI'm not terribly good at being spontaneous, which makes me really sad because I really wish I was.
5) Shaken or stirred?def. shaken.

Funny story- FI's grandma is Canadian. One time, I called to see if she wanted anything from McDonalds and she wanted a "Sausage McMuffin with bacon instead". I took this is regular American bacon. FI was confused and goes "Wait, she's from Canada, does that mean she wants regular bacon or the Canadian bacon (aka ham)?" So I had to call her and ask. She wanted American (like I said!) I was so embarassed but she laughed and thought it was cute.

1) Plans this weekend?

A warm bagel w/ cream cheese and lox with an iced coffee.

3) Who does the laundry in your house?
We switch it up.

4) Tell me a random fact.
The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by the Egyptians in 2000 BCE. (Ew).

Shaken, so I can say, "Shaken, not stirred."

1) Plans this weekend?I'm taking my son to the Bengals pre-season game tonight, we went last year and had a blast so I'm excited to take him again.  I got free field level tickets (24th row) from my dad who has season tickets but doesn't go to the pre-season games.  FI isn't going because he has playoffs for his softball team.  The rest of the weekend is up in the air... we are staying at FIL's so I think we're just going to go with the flow!

2) What's your fav. breakfast?Two eggs over hard, center cut bacon (crispy), hash browns (slightly crisp) and whole wheat toast!

3) Who does the laundry in your house?I do the majority of it (mine, my sons and the linens) but FI usually does his own clothes.

4) Tell me a random factTermites eat wood twice as fast when listening to heavy metal music.

5) Shaken or stirred?Shaken, preferably shaken with ice and strained.

SopChick

1) Plans this weekend?Enjoying the last 2 days of vacation. Hopefully farmer's market tomorrow morning.

2) What's your fav. breakfast?French Toast with syrup! Mmmmm... I wish I had the stuff to make it right now.

3) Who does the laundry in your house?I do. BF would mix darks, whites and colours together and put everything in the dryer to be done faster.

4) Tell me a random factNot a random fact, but Paige, I thought you might enjoy this:

jemmini6

1) Plans this weekend?  Helping sister move out of her house.  She is getting a divorce (good thing for her, but she's sad because she doesn't want to spilt time with her son)

2) What's your fav. breakfast? I LOVE BF's bisquits and gravy, he makes it with Bisquick....so good

3) Who does the laundry in your house? We both do our own...and we're both bad about putting it away.  It's our least favorite chore

4) Tell me a random fact I literally just found out that if you push Ctrl on the keyboard and scroll with the wheel on your mouse that it controls the zoom on the screen (did that trying to copy and paste this. LOL)

5) Shaken or stirred?  Shaken

leia1979

1) Plans this weekend?
BF's company picnic on Saturday. Maybe we'll just relax or swim on Sunday.

2) What's your fav. breakfast?
If I want sweet, French Toast. If I want savory then either huevos rancheros or lox benedict.

3) Who does the laundry in your house?
We both do. BF is picky about his laundry, so I'm not allowed to touch it (like I'd want to!). I also hate our microscopic washer and dryer.

4) Tell me a random fact
Most right-handed figure skaters spin and jump counter-clockwise. (I'm weird and prefer to go clockwise.)

5) Shaken or stirred?

oceana919

If all goes well, should be spending the weekend at the beach. We shall see.

2) What's your fav. breakfast?
Cheesecake pancakes from IHOP. Those are pretty epic. There's also a restaurant near us that makes Cornflake Crusted French Toast that is mindblowing.

3) Who does the laundry in your house?

Usually me. We both kind of take care of our own clothes, as I hang a lot of mine and FI puts all his in the dryer, and I take care of the towels, bedding, etc.

4) Tell me a random fact.
Doc told me I'd have six tiny incisions from the surgery I had. Instead, I got four not-so-tiny ones. I feel like Frankenstein. lol

Posted by notquiteblushing[/QUOTE]

We are going to dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant - complete with belly dancers. The food is delicious. Then we are heading to uptown to hit up some bars. The theme is that everyone has to wear a hat. The invite said the more outrageous the better. Me. I am wearing a black cowboy hat with a veil attached. That's my style. Absolutely no male genitalia will be worn by me. I am no fun and refused. I also will not be selling anything to strangers or completingmoronic tasks from a brides last night out check list. Yeah, yeah I know. I am absolutely no fun. I did see a wine glass at Spencers that I wanted to get. It said "It's MY night bitches" and it was purple (one of my wedding colors), however I refrained.

1) Plans this weekend?
Watching NASCAR races (it's Bristol, Baby) tonight and tomorrow (hoping they will pull me out of this mood I'm in today - FI hates his job and it's not been good at work for him for the past couple weeks, which is putting him in a bad mood, which in turn has put me in a bad mood).  But I am looking forward to the bridal show tomorrow with my mom and 2 of my BM's.

2) What's your fav. breakfast?
If I'm able to go out for breakfast (doesn't happen often), then definitely an omelet or french toast, but if I'm at home, usually it's a bowl of cereal

3) Who does the laundry in your house?
I do, but I still live by myself  - I will still probably do all the laundry after FI moves in, too

4) Tell me a random fact
If you sit in the same position for too long at a job interview, cause you don't want them to see you squirming or fidgeting, your leg will hurt the next morning.

5) Shaken or stirred?
I don't drink alcohol, but I like to get packets of crystal light & such and shake them up in a bottle - much for fun than stirring them

fontassidy

1) Plans this weekend?
Tonight we're going to see "Dinner For Schmucks"...Saturday I'm heading to my hometown to celebrate my birthday (and hers!) with my Mom...Sunday the BF has a b-day suprise planned?? Won't give me any hints, but he's been acting ridiculous since about Wednesday. Maybe it's a pony?!

2) What's your fav. breakfast?
Cheese, Bacon & Artichoke Heart Souffle!! With a caramel latte w/lottssss of whipped cream. Yeah, I'm into savory.

3) Who does the laundry in your house?
I get laundry, BF gets dishes. I think I totally got the better end of that deal.

4) Tell me a random fact
When a shark eats food that it can’t digest (like a turtle shell or tin can), it can vomit by thrusting its stomach out its mouth then pulling it back in.

5) Shaken or stirred?
I like to just stir my own

Yep, had surgery on Friday.

I also have an aversion to the drama llamas that had been going on for the two weeks prior to the surgery - hence my disappearing act. :)
