So what’s everyone up to today? Anyone doing anything fun?
I’m getting a pedicure at the moment and then it’s home to clean for my oldest sons birthday. And then Mothers Day. I planted flowers all day yesterday and need to power wash the back patio but doubt I get time today.
So what are you doing?

My youngest dd is home for the wkend. Hasn't been home since cmas. We are headed to town to have lunch with oldest dd, and then do some shopping. It's a sunny, getting warm out (70s) day here. It's too soon to plant, but I think I might stop and buy some hanging baskets. I usually get a few for Mother's day. Then home and we will go out for dinner tonight. It's my dh's and my 34th wedding anniversary. Tomorrow brunch out at a local resort. So good wkend! suppose to rain tomorrow though.

Got an oil change. It's been a year and a half. Only slightly overdue.

I have to catch up on work today - I literally had 32 meetings last week so that meant no time to do "actual work" so I am working from home today to catch up on some things.
Tonight, however, I'm going out to hear some live music - a local artist. It is so nice that the music venues are starting to open up again.

I’m jealous of your 70s weather. We are supposed to hit 100 today 😳.

Heading up to Boston. Picking up my step-mother on the way and then we're meeting dd#2 and her boyfriend (and his mother) for dinner to celebrate his graduation from law school. He's not going to his graduation ceremony but my dh and I were like "uh, this needs to be celebrated", so we're taking them all to dinner.

I am getting my hair cut and dyed today, finally. That’ll take 3 to 4 hours. Otherwise, the normal weekend stuff, laundry, meal planning, boring stuff. I do hope to get outside (weather permitting, high here today is 57F, the warmest day until Thursday, ugh) or get to my scrap room. Maybe hear from the boys tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Thank you for posting this, mom. Happy Anniversary cindyupnorth. Congratulations to your dd's bf, peabay. This is a huge accomplishment and he needs to be celebrated. We're celebrating Mother's day today, because ods is swamped w/end of year school stuff. We can't go out to eat, so really it's a just a zoom chat w/yds and small presents, like puzzles. It'll be a nice day. Have fun today, everyone.

DH and I stayed in Bremerton last night and are taking the ferry into Seattle this morning to play. No concrete plans when we get there, we’ll just play it by ear 😊.
ETA: we’re now waiting to go on the Seattle Underground tour. I’ve done it before but DH hasn’t. It’s a very interesting tour and bit of Seattle history for anyone visiting Seattle 😊.

Holy crap that’s a lot! Is it always like that? I’d go nuts! Thank goodness, it isn't typical that I have that many meetings in one week. We just have 4 major projects going on right now. Next week, I currently only have 12 meetings for the week - I average 2 or 3 a day. Some are short (30 minutes) and some are longer. Luckily next week are mostly the short meetings. I was exhausted at the end of the week - it is hard juggling all those projects.

To be fair, I only drove about 4,000 miles that whole time. But I really do need to get it changed more often...it has 277,000 miles on it so I really need to baby it. I can't afford to get another car right now. (We have a hybrid vehicle that my husband commutes with, but it's nice to have another one at home if I need to run to the store)

I am picking up a FREE 1955 cast iron pink bath tub. I am so excited! There was a post on Instagram (“Vintage Bathroom Love”) about it sitting on a driveway and will be sent to the dump if no one picks it up. I am redoing my bathroom and have a 1956 Ming green toilet and sink (also free). Pink and green is my favorite color combo. I know color tubs are not for everyone but I am over the moon happy!

Not much. It's been raining for several days, and it's cold. Cold damp weather is my least favorite kind. ugh. I actually just went for a walk and every step of it was miserable. Otherwise....nothing productive. I play an online game called Runescape and I'm trying to knock out a few quests which are prerequisites for another quest that I need to do in order to do yet something else. omg . I'm working on the prerequisites for the prerequisites! Anyway, I am stuck on one... It involves four separate battles and I've managed to pass the 1st and 2nd, but the 3rd seems to be impossible. Despite the many YouTube videos I've watched where the cool-dude YouTuber says it's easy. I need a Runescape YouTube channel that's run by an older person like me. If all else fails my ds will do it for me when we go down to Georgia later this month. But I would like to figure it out myself! grrr... Other than that, just reading and browsing online and wrapping myself in a blanket against the chill, and generally not much more than that.

It's misty/drizzle raining here in MD today. I slept in and have been reading and watching some tv. Will get on the treadmill a little later to get some steps in. DS is refereeing a soccer game, and since the car he drives is wrecked, one of us has to take him. I offered to do it tmrw, since he's going to prom and I need to find a tie and a dress shirt for him at Kohls while I'm waiting on him.

DD and I had to bring my cat to the Vet for a "viable" checkup. She's had cysitis for years and her infections became constant right when DH passed away. The Vet had bad news and we had to put the cat down. She was almost 13 years old. This is the 3rd cat we've lost since DH passed in November. Seems drastic. We're mourning Fudge's loss, but we know she's finally out of pain. Our other 2 cats (1 is a kidney-patient who has defied the odds thusfar. He's 16. The other is my lovie, black kitty. He's 2) looked for Fudge. The inspected her carrier and looked in every room. They seem sad. At least they have each other & they're the best of friends.
I forgot that tomorrow is Mother's Day. Darn!!! I'll have to call my mom. I hope to clear out lots of cat items that were Fudge's. I still have so much to go through of Gary's too. That'll be my weekend. Maybe food shopping too.

Believe me, if we had a treadmill in the house I'd never leave. hahaha I just recently re-joined out community center where there's all the exercise equipment but I don't like going on Saturday...too crowded, even before Covid.

We have a city wide brush collection happening this week so we're filling up yard waste bags with the overgrown crap along one side of the yard. I swear the previous owners cleared out nearly everything and then did as little maintenance to the yard as they could for 30 years. No garden, half dead trees, overgrown bushes that needed to be trimmed badly. I have a master gardener in my family and she's going to help me create a beautiful side garden.

We are having my parents and nephew over for mother's day. My sister now lives out of state, so she won't be here. I'm making lasagna, garlic knots and tiramisu. My mom is bringing a salad. Right now I'm resting before I put the lasagna in the oven, clean the half bath and make the garlic knots. Tomorrow I plan to do zip. My butt and the couch will be one.

I went to barre class at 8 and skipped my twins’ middle-school soccer game; fear not, I will be attending their state cup semifinals for their club team this afternoon. So much soccer.
I’m about to head to the Asian grocery to get stuff to make sushi for dinner after the game. The twins love making sushi, so I figure, win or lose, that will be a good way to spend the evening.
Otherwise, I am doing laundry load #8 since coming back from SF Thursday night and am trying to get some cleaning in. I know you folks will be shocked! to hear this but my husband and kids have not, in my absence, kept the house in order (and our house cleaner moved a while ago; my husband said “don’t worry we’ll cover it” hahahahahaha.

It’s finally nice out so we are cleaning the garage and doing yard work. Not fun, but hopefully will feel good to get it done. Even though I was wearing my warmest coat and blankets at the games this week, I am ready to switch my sweaters out for warmer weather clothes. But we will see if I have time for that.

I'm cookin'! ..and then eating.
To prep for our Disney trip we've been doing a "dinner and a movie" on Sunday nights with my mom to get her excited. I put together menus for a list of movies we collectively decided on and added all of the film names into envelopes and numbered them, then wrote the numbers on little pieces of paper to pull out of a cup each week. This week we chose Alice in Wonderland which was more brunch-y and small teatime goodies so we're doing it for lunch today instead.
I asked my mom if she'd rather do another movie night tomorrow or have a Mother's Day dinner and she chose movie night.. so I'm also making stew today (for Robin Hood) since it's always better the next day.
Other than that a whole lotta nothing. It's been getting really hot here 😫 so I'll probably close up the house and play videogames until the sun goes down lol

Dh is roadtripping with Ds bringing him home for summer. They come home Monday evening, and I leave Monday morning for Palm Springs, so no Mother's Day celebration here.
I am making Crack Brownies for a friend's 55 birthday today, and woke this morning to a text from the birthday boy asking for some pickled jalapeño. Not a problem Trent, I adore you!
I am also getting Dh and Ds bike clothes in order for father son trip that starts the day before I get back from PS. I swear I won't see Ds until sometime in early June at this rate.

We're headed out of town for a niece's graduation party--thankfully it's finally going to be a nice day so we aren't all stuck inside my sister's house. This is year 4 of at least 10 straight years of 1-3 high school graduations each year for the cousins..our turn next year when our oldest graduates!
