What are your weekend plans?

Sock Hop tonight at my kids' school.

DS has a basketball game tomorrow morning. DH and DD have a Father/Daughter Bowling Bash tomorrow afternoon while DS and I shop for a new swimsuit for him to replace the one he lost - yet again.x(

On Sunday, DH and I need to sit down and finish our taxes. Sunday afternoon is a Valentine's dinner family event at church.

I'd love for it to warm up a bit to go cross-country skiing! We have a parkway behind our house so all I have to do is go through my backyard. :)

Have a great weekend everyone - whatever you do.

I am going to lather up in steroid cream and apply ice packs in hopes that this stupid all-over body rash will go away! Now, before you go thinking bad thoughts, I had a severe allergic reaction to something I ate (probably that all-natural oat and hazelnut bread I started eating last weekend......or chocolate.......or walnuts. I'm hoping for the bread, but it would be great if it was the chocolate so I'd be forced to stop eating it - it's one of my weaknesses). Anyhoo, two days ago, it felt like a million white hot needles were prickling my skin. It was on fire and itched all at once. Now that I've been on meds and steroid cream for a couple days, the itching has downgraded to what feels like a moderately severe poison ivy reaction. And now, instead of the itching covering 100% of my body, it only covers about 75%. Hey, it's an improvement!

Other than that, I am going to try to take a little me-time this weekend. The past two weeks have been an up-and-down ride full of stress, and I want to relax a bit. Perhaps I'll find a good movie on DirecTV or spend some time writing my book. That sounds AWESOME given what I've been through the past two weeks (frozen washing machine pipes that flooded the basement, a blizzard, the rash from Hades, a sick husband, a huge project at work with a tight deadline, shoveling about 5 tons of snow to get my car out of the garage, hearing that we owed on our taxes). Awe, sweet nothing, here I come!!!

Enjoy the Clydesdales! I saw them quite by accident over Christmas. We were driving to my dad's for dinner and stopped to pick up a loaf of bread at the Meijer in Greenwood, IN. The four semi-trailers they use to transport the horses were in the parking lot with a huge crowd and a police escort. I walked over and got to look inside the trailer at four of the horses. WOW! They are HUGE! I was only a foot away from one of them and its head was as long as my leg! the TV just does NOT do those horses justice! They are much bigger in person!
 
I usually don't check in with you all, but saw the comments about the Clydesdales and had to chime in. We live next door to the brewery in St. Louis and get to see the horses everyday; not many kids in America can say that! A-B only keeps a few of them at the brewery though; most are at the farms.

TOmorrow I am housebound as hundred of thousands of festive folk descend upon our neighborhood for the Mardi Gras grand parade. It gets pretty ugly/fun, depending on your point of view. We'll probably hit a few parties with the kids and go see They Might Be Giants concert (free, part of Mardi Gras).
 
My family's going to the Nation's Capitol (Ottawa) for my 12 year old daughter, Faith's first regional cheerleading competition. They are a heart thumpin', bass pumpin', high energy extravaganza. I had never been to a cheerleading competition until my 16 year old, Marley started competing with her school 2 years ago. The first time I went I was doing my 'parental duty' but I had no idea what we were in store for. Such an awesome display of gymnastics, dance and team dynamics. LOVE IT!!! We're meeting up with a bunch of relatives, should be a blast.

Take Care

You're right - they were huge! I can't believe how big their feet were. Just the horses alone were worth going to see. So impressive!

My birthday was Friday in which all calories consumed are null and void as well as all workouts double the amount of calories burned! Since, most people are off on Monday, I declare a party weekend in honor of me :)

Actually Friday, we went to Parisians going out of business sale (I did pick up a few items) and then went to TGIFridays for supper. Then it was home. Saturday, Dave is in the kitchen :eek: and cooking dinner. And Sunday, haven't decided about church much less if I will attend the Episcopal or Catholic Church. The kids don't have CCD or serve Sunday. They are Catholic, while I am borderline Episcopal/Catholic---a whole different issue. Anyway, I'll try and get a workout on Sunday since I have been doing some serious working out this week. I did about 30 minutes of Cathe, then I realized I need the rest. Both mentally and physically!

I received Cathe's calender for my birthday! I love it!!!

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Weekend's over, but I had a great time in NYC! (thank god, we didn't fly Jet Blue!). Stayed near Gramercy park, walked around in the cold, Dustin Hoffman sat at the table next to us at 'cesca Friday night, had pizza at John's on Bleeker Saturday, bought a Christmas ornament that was part of Truman Capote's collection, saw "The Arcade Fire" perform Saturday night, and got home safe and sound Sunday!

I'm tired.
