If i'm up to it--I'll be driving home to Cleveland to see my family. It will be my first trip home since my mom moved in with her boyfriend, and my dad moved his girlfriend in to our house--where they are now staying in my old room.
Driving to Pearl River to meet with the monsignor at the church where we are getting married, then seeing some apartments in the area, and then working on my final paper for my last class... in the evening, I hope to have time to make some cupcakes
Lunch with a friend--we are "supposedly" getting 1-3" of snow tomorrow. I wish it would wait until Monday so I can not have work. DH and I went on a cleaning spree tonight and we need to finish and get out Christmas stuff.
I will be partying it up at the Casa de Manda. Even my mom threatened to kick my butt if I chickened out, and now its calling for snow (naturally). After that I will cleaning the house because its gone to crap this week due to my work schedule being wacky and stupid.
You better send me some of those so I can be the judge of that.
I am doing about a billion things tomorrow...I have yoga early, then I'm picking up my dress (yay!), then I'm working for a little bit, then I'm meeting up with a couple of the DW gals near my house and picking up the Knottie Knot (it's a destination board thing, but it's actually really awesome) from one of them since I'm next in line to get married (eeeee!), then I'm going to my best friend's holiday party. His work throws this giant shindig each year. We all went last year and it was a blast.
Working... but I really can't complain.. I've been off most of the week including today and I have off Sunday.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
Well, it's Saturday here today. We're having people around for dinner- so I spent the morning making super-awesome food for tonight with H, and then we cleaned the house- and now beer while awaiting our guests.

I really should... I would love to come. DH does not like T&C...only b/c he lived there.. Living there is WAY different than visiting.

We're going to a funeral (DH's HS friend's father). I'll be up early with the dogs and then either 1. get a nap or 2. get cranky by 4pm. I'm hoping to get some Christmas decorating done.

Getting up early to hit the bank and grocery store for some food staples and cleaning stuffs. The weather is supposed to be rainy/possible snow so we're preparing to just stay in and be cozy or something all weekend. I am however hoping to talk him into getting a tree somewhere in there, provided its not pouring out

I will keep in the back of my mind.. His bonus comes at that time. Plus I think a sister property is to open up there sometime next year. Maybe DH can go and open it up.. (That is what he is doing in Tahoe right now.)
YaPuppy.. Where in LI are you?? DH is from Rockville Centre

Nebb - you need to change your avatar. It reminds me of E and makes me stabby. Because I really like you, but it makes me read all your posts in a bitchy tone and then I have to remind myself that I like you.

Part of me hopes I won't be up to it.

I will be with Katie at Casa de Panda. Of course, I have to go to the store tomorrow morning so I can come home and bake first.

And blame thenewknot for me not being on as much. I try, but mostly I can only lurk because it takes so long to post.
