What are people doing this weekend?

Writing, going to Ye Olde Spooky Club with the StuntHusband, more writing, and helping gather fruit to give to the queen of the jam collective.

I am shockingly spoiled when it comes to work hours. My commute time counts as work, because I'm on the corporate bus service and am logged into email.

When? If you feel like it, call one of us up before or after--the DeYoung is very close. Most of our weekend is crazed with stuff-doing, but there's a chance someone might be around for a quick cup of coffee or such.

I wasn't actually planning on reserving, but rather making it one of my weekend walks, and showing up right when they open. So, 9:30 either tomorrow or Sunday morning.

I just had to pretend to care that lately the person who staples the routing slip to the newspaper that gets sent around the office has been stapling the pages together.

I don't think I did a very good job.

Ha!

I just got a call that I scheduled a meeting for the wrong day, but I swear it's not me, because my notes are super-explicit about when the people were available. Explicit and wrong! Oh well.

I'm excited this weekend because I don't have any plans in between tonight and Sunday afternoon.

Bliss! My weekend plans are fun but I'd love an unplanned day that involved napping.

I'm cleaning and taking friend from Memphis somewhere for food/drink tonight. Tomorrow practicing early, like 9am, and then loading in at neighborhood festival. Playing at 2 pm, performing at Hampden Idol at 4 pm ( I Want You to Want Me ) and then putting a salad together and having dinner w/ best friends and friend visiting from NJ. At some point stripping and making my bed so friends from NJ have a nice place to sleep Saturday night.

Sunday is early morning 28 or possibly 40 mile bike ride. I hope I can do it!!! Sunday afternoon...maybe I can nap then???

I'm reading an article about a 12-year-old girl who's a star basketball player (she's 6'1" and playing on elite high school teams), and just about every description of her games in here includes the phrase "her ponytail bouncing" or something similar. I've noticed the same thing in articles about gymnastics and skating, and sometimes softball. Why do sportswriters have this obsession with ponytails?

I Want You to Want Me

Good choice!

I rushed home to take the kitten to the vet....only to get a call cancelling it because the vet is in surgery. Rescheduled to Monday.

Sigh.

Starting off the weekend with dinner with my in-laws who are back in town after spending the summer in the NC mountains.

Tomorrow with any luck, writing will occur.

There is also college football.

Sunday there is pro football.

I love fall.

I don't know, but of all the self-portraits I posted on Flickr, the runaway favorite is one with my face occluded, showing off my lush gray ponytail. ????
