I am so ready for the weekend. I have had such an uneventful week that I am ready to regroup over this weekend and get some things accomplished. First, I want to hit Old Navy and return a few items I bought but do not have a use for. I want to go now rather than after black Friday so I can beat the shopping madness. I don’t understand how people keep their retail jobs through the Holiday season but kudos to them. After the return to Old Navy, I want to run by my Super Marshalls to check out a few of their items for possible holiday gifts. When my mom and I were in there last week they had Bliss body sets like you would find at Sephora for next to nothing. Lastly, I want to try and hit the gym all 3 days to get me in a routine and ready to face next week. How is your weekend shaping up? Anything fun or exciting?

Wow this week has flown by. I was hoping it would have lasted a little longer especially since all of my bosses are out of town but it seems like the opposite has happened! I have slowly been knocking things off of my to-do list and finding things that I can work on at work that I have never worked on before (development points 
) so it has been nice to have a few spare moments to find places and things I can step up and work on for the first time. Plus it makes me look like more of a go-getter.
I don’t have too many plans for this weekend lol. Let’s see:
- Girls night Friday - I am really excited about this because it will be with a few acquaintances and my Maid of Honor so it will help expand my circle here in Houston
- Saturday AM - help Maid of Honor move apartments
- Saturday afternoon - Go with Mike to find a new home for November. Yup we are moving in together!
- Saturday PM - get to Buffalo Wild Wings early enough to secure our own table for UFC Fight Night (before the UT fans get there too). We have to cheer for Chuck Liddell - the former accountant
- Sunday AM - go to the Houston Zoo for a visit
- And at some point Saturday & Sunday I need to hit the gym.
Yeah I think it will be a quite weekend don’t you? How is your weekend shaping up? Any fun plans?

Another weekend is quickly coming to a close. Nothing memorable or exciting happened this weekend but it was a really good weekend. Mike and I had 4 really good workouts starting Thursday night and 2 nice Tex-Mex meals - 1 night of fish tacos and 1 afternoon at the local burrito joint, quick trip to the mall to take advantage of tax-free weekend, and then a few errands completed today. So yeah, in general the weekend was filled with lots of relaxing and watching the Olympics on television but it was fun and fabulous nevertheless. This coming weekend probably will be a little more hectic but I hope things go well. My mother is coming over to meet with a few florists with me as well as a cake decorator. I hope to get a few things knocked off my wedding checklist soon. I hope you all had a good weekend as well. I am looking forward to many more great weekends.

I wasn’t sure if the weekend was ever going to get here. It has been a roller coaster of a week and I am just so glad the weekend is here. The week started with me being in the midst of filing a 10-Q with my client, being thrown into a Tropical Storm, and then learning that Mike has to start packing every Monday and head to work in Beaumont for the next seven months. Luckily it has worked its way to 4 days a week 3 nights away from home. We finally got the Q filed and now I can relax. I have a hair appointment in an hour to touch up my color and then I think we are doing movie night or game night at home. I can’t wait though I think I need to turn on the air conditioning because it is HOT!
I think my weekend will consist of cleaning out, going to the gym, and watching UFC 87 tomorrow night. UFC 87 is going to be a really good fight night so I am excited. Hopefully it won’t leave us disappointed and the fights all won’t go to decisions which are never fun.
Any good weekend plans??

In college we always joked that the weekend officially started after classes on Thursday. I’m not quite sure why other than drink specials started up Thursday night at the local bars which in turn induced class skipping on Fridays. I was always scared about skipping class so I rarely skipped, even on Fridays after a night out.
I’ve found though that the whole concept of the weekend starting on Thursday has continued in my professional career. I think the fact that Fridays are jeans day and my client leaves at noon (thus a peaceful afternoon) has helped continue this mind set of mine. So tonight I’m here at home getting ready for the weekend by packing a suitcase. On my schedule this weekend is a trip back home with Mike so that I can make my cousin’s wedding shower on Sunday and just so we can get out of town. I made a quick trip back for Easter but Mike didn’t get to join me so he hasn’t been to see Murphf or my family since sometime last fall. I know Murphf is excited over this. I’m not quite sure what we will be doing once we get there other than the shower on Sunday but hopefully the weather is nice so that we have lots of outdoor options. I wouldn’t mind taking a stroll around LSU’s Greek Row which is on a beautiful lake and maybe a trip to the super sized Wholefoods for tasty gelato. I’m sure Mike is just looking forward to cable and dirty job reruns.
Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend with good weather. I’ll report back what we end up doing and where we end up going Monday
