Rob, you do deserve a "just say no" weekend after the week you've had!

I am working at the clinic 1/2 day today, then I am coming home and preparing ahead as much as I can for two pans of enchiladas.

The kids are coming for dinner tomorrow afternoon, but I will have limited time to cook for that, because I have a gardening class in the morning, and then we take the dogs to the vaccination clinic when I get home from that.

Sunday we go to Tim's sister's house for a family get-together. Kind of a late Easter kind of thing.

Monday I start my new job.

Yes, there will be wine tonight! LOL

Linda

Rob - enjoy your relaxing weekend, you do dersve it!

Linda - enchiladas sound great, I haven;t made them in a while and I am gong to have to put them on the "near future" list. And I will be clinking loud and lear to your new job on Monday - congrats and good luck!

This morning I am doing usual stuff - aundry and a little cleaning, then maybe out for a HH drink if the weather improves. It is rainy and I may just hibernate and do chores. Tomorrow is working on the pantry in the kitchen then off to the Library Fundraiser dinner tomorrow night. Sunday is yard work and then to our friends terrace warming party.

Happy and safe weekeend all!!!!
Alexa

robin, you definitely deserve an easy weekend, enjoy it.

Linda, good luck on that new job Monday, I'm hoping you're going to love it. and you reminded me that I haven't made chicken enchiladas for a long time either.

So, Alexa, the bedroom is finally done and you're working on the kitchen? (grin)

I'm leaving tonight for Elery's, right after work. I'm taking Cooper with me and I won't be back until Sunday. We're spending tomorrow making wontons for that appetizer reception and if we don't taste test so many that we aren't hungry, we might go out for dinner.

Annie

Rob,
I have two words of advice for you: RE LAX! LOL you deserve it!!

Linda,
I wish you good luck with the new job! I do hope it turns into what you want!!

Alexa,
Sounds like you have a busy weekend planned. Some work, some fun.

We are going to a surprise 5-0 bday party tomorrow night. Aside from that, it's time for me to get back into the full-house-clean-up I started a long while ago. I'm working on going through the entire house with a fine tooth comb and getting rid of everything I no longer want/need. It's a long process as I do a little bit at a time and then either throw away, give away or sell the excess. Sell = either ebay or craig's list. Both can be time consuming and I don't want that selling stuff to pile up too much so I only go through the next area after the to-sell pile dwindles back down.

I hate to admit it but I haven't worked on this since early December!!! This weekend, I get back into the groove.

Clinking my glass (water for now but a nice glass of wine will be appropraite tonight!) to you all.

May

Robin, you have been busy, sorry to hear about the toe. Enjoy your relaxing weekend.

Linda, good luck with the new job. I take Roxie in for her regular checkup today...time to start her on Revolution.

Alexa, never heard of a terrace warming party, but hey, sounds good to me!

Annie, have fun making won ton's, you'll probably be ready to go out for dinner.

May, you are doing what I should also be doing.

We have no weekend plans....Yay!!!!!
I guess I get to play seamstress, Kim has 4 new pair of pants (2 of them w/lining) for me to hem.
I'm looking forward to our virtual Pasta Party tomorrow night. Still need to finalize my menu..
It'd been colder this week, even got a light dusting of snow. I'd like to get outside and do some spring cleanup in the flower beds. Everything is popping up early this year.

Nancy

Hey all. No big plans for the weekend beyond the usual stuff.

It poured last night and the temp is 25 degrees cooler today than yesterday. It is supposed to stay cool, which is how April is supposed to be in this neck of the woods.

I cleaned the downstairs this morning and got rid of the yellow dust. The pollen is unbelievable. Since I had the windows open due to the hot weather, it was all over every surface.

I had to use the wipers on my car to remove it from the windshield. My dark green car looks like it has a yellow glaze. I should have left it out in the rain last night.

This afternoon I am going back to the granite shop to finalize the tile and stone for the up coming bathroom reno.

The rest of the weekend will be yard work once the ground dries.

May, I have been slowly doing the same job as you. Too much junk around this place. The worst will be getting up in the attic and clearing out that accumulation. It gets so hot up there I can only do it in cooler weather.

Linda, I hope your first day goes well.

Rob -- stop putting your foot down so hard and maybe you won't break your toe!

The rest of you -- have a good weekend.

I'll bet Cooper likes Won-tons!

Working Saturday. Almost everyone is on the Saturday list at work so we have one tiny blip of economic activity going! New customer looking at us today so excited about getting to work and finding out how it went.

Sunday I'm on to play pool. Friends bought a Bar and asked if I would come around on Sundays to play. So far so good but I've not played in years. Sort of a different game with bifocal glasses and I've done everything from making my bank shots to completely missing the ball at close range.

Think I'm sick but so sore and tired I can't really tell.

Clinking with yesterday's coffee... fresh brewing.

: )

Happy weekend everyone!

Up at the cottage for a few days supervising the finishing of Clive's new garage. You can't imagine how excited I am that he will have his own place .....a good walk up the drive!

Nothing planned so far, just feeding the workers. Very quite an the lake this time of year but the ice is out so you never know. Folk may show up to start putting docks in etc. Kinda hope not......I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.

I've had big news to share all week, but have held off until now. This is the week I have LIVED for. Full custody of my daughter was granted to me Wednesday. Her father may only have supervised visitation and must submit to drug testing regularly. It's a good, GOOD thing!

So, it's going to a weekend of celebration for us. Not much money to spend, but lots of love to be shared!

I'm raising my afternoon cup of coffee to salute you all. The weather is glorious here in NW Florida - wish you were ALL here to share it with us. I shipped my Mom off to my sister's in Jacksonville for 2 weeks this morning - sweet freedom! Erin goes back to school after a long, boring week of Spring Break on Monday. And not a moment too soon for my sanity.

Oh Pat I am crying tears of joy for you! How wonderful! Happy happy weekend to you. Give her hugs from me. That's so great.

Pat- WOOT! I'm so happy for Erin and you!

Good weekend to all! My plans are up in the air and I wish we had some special event to share. My DD and grands came home after a month in Venice Italy visiting DSIL. So once they get adjusted to the time change, there will be some serious play time and a family meal.

Our main computer's motherboard crashed & burned a couple of weeks ago and hopefully DS will be by to install a new one and get us up and running. **Clinking with my Diet Coke**

Congrats Pat! It's a sweet victory for you. Definitely deserves some good celebrations!

We don't have any plans for the weekend. Probably will spend our family day (Sunday) playing Wii games at home.

Al

Congratulations, Pat! I am overjoyed for you!

Linda

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Nothing to exciting here this weekend. Going to do the pasta party tomorrow for Mom's Birthday even though it is officially on Sunday. She is cool with as life has been crazy and she wants a day to herself. Works for me.

I didn't plant my tomoatoes last weekend so I'll try to get that done. A little work in the flower beds along with planting something in the pots around the pool and haning baskets. That it for the most part.

Pat, that is so cool! Congratulations!!

Clink!

David

Pat, I am so happy for you and for Erin. Congratulations.

Congratulations Pat! This must be a happy day for you.

I may do some yard work this weekend. I need to hurry before it gets too hot. I just hate chores though.

Congratulations Pat you must be so happy and so relieved.

David - Happy Birthday to your Mom.

Pam, I sympathize with you. The rain of yellow pollen hasn't hit here yet but our news reports say this year is going to be the worst year in a decade for allergies.

We started out the day with dog school - Ollie finished advanced class a week ago and we started "Click a Trick". We don't really care about tricks but thought that just teaching him more would be good. He has learned to shake, spin around twice and finish by sitting, take a bow and the one useful trick is that we have succeeded in teaching him to chase a ball and bring it back to us - he had apparently never played in his first home. Then we went to the dog wash and left with a sweet smelling, fluffy dog.

Max worked in his garden when we came home and will continue tomorrow. I don't have anything more exciting than some laundry and office work to look forward to. But I always look forward to the weekends and having Max at home.

Clinking to you all with my club soda.

Lee

Pat, congratulations. I know how stressful this must have been. Hope you had a great weekend. Late to the TGIF, but wanted to send congrts to Pat.
