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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So what are people doing this weekend?

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

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.

The Homecoming dance is tomorrow. I never did sign up for a duty, but I think I probably should. What do teachers wear to Homecoming dances?

Dude, I'm so not ready for FNL. And I missed last week's Numb3rs because it rolled off with so much other tv there. I meant to clear the tivo in time for sports season, but I didn't. And then there was The War and Band of Brothers and the SO spent his show money on getting Center Ice, so now we've got tons o tv queuing up.

Probably a good thing that I accidentally let Kid Nation fall off. Think I'll drop Bionic Woman, too.
