I'm restraining myself from walking in there and saying "Your hiring practices are going to make me boycott your store. Straighten up and hire my daughter NOW".

K-Bug is stressing over the SAT's (tomorrow) more than the job, but once the SAT's are over, I have a feeling that a certain store is going to hear from her.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Chilling! And going to a beer festival tomorrow. And hanging out with my neighbors tomorrow night.

I have Monday off, so after Saturday, we have 2 days of unscheduled hanging out to do.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So what are people doing this weekend?

Tonight, Friday Night Lights, baybee.

Tomorrow, cleaning, general puttering, with a probability of going over to GG Park and watching Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Also perhaps going up to Coit Tower to watch the ships come in to the Bay. Then, dinner with M & Vortex! Woot!

Sunday, watching the Blue Angels, probably. Also, Columbus Day parade and meeting many paisanos of the neighborhood.

Monday, I think there's a BBQ. Maybe.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Big band meeting tonight with bonus potential for blowup (guess what, the R&B band does not wish to do country tunes) and/or quitting. We've only committed through now, but they've booked a weeklong casino gig in November. I dunno if I want to stick with it or not; it just takes up so much emotional energy. Will I get used to it? Will I learn to deal with people? Is it worth it? Do I have time? I dunno, but I need to make up my mind.

Going out to the land today probably too. Saturday, lessons. Then I'm on holiday, essentially. SO has the prison on Tuesday. But all our schools are on intersession or fall break or Columbus Day (ha, ponder that irony, Navajo school celebrating Columbus Day) so we're off. I wanted to go to Phoenix to shop, but I don't think that's going to happen. So lots of administrative work, probably.

Oh, and our Mormons are going to stop by to talk The Church with us. Hee. They're cute. They're such teenagers. They're very earnest.

Otherwise, this weekend will be filled with lots of housework and paperwork and filing. Yay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Painting and hanging kitchen cabinet doors. We wanted a soft apple green for the cabinets, and I found a color called "Christopher Robin's Swing" in the Classic Pooh line of Disney Paint. Yeah, Winnie the Pooh has a paint line--who knew? I just hope someone asks me what kind of paint it is, so I can say it's from the Classic Pooh line.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Swanning the family around Chicago, and then watching hours and hours of TV on Sunday after I put them back on the train.

OK, next person to see Robin has to ask, just so she can utter these words.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

then watching hours and hours of TV on Sunday after I put them back on the train.

This is going to be me too. Last Sunday night, I was completely caught up on TV (apart from the huge Damages and Eureka backlog I have), and now I have at least 10 hours worth of shows to watch, plus even more Eureka and Damages.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Cleaning out our basement and getting rid of large quantities of junk.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Whoot! Am crazy. Am also going to Jamaica!

Not this weekend, though. In December. My friend M and I decide to reprise our spur of the moment Mexico jaunt from last winter.
