Ugh, we had an experimental "ski week" last year, it wasn't too awful for us because the kids were in middle/high school, but it was still a pain in the ass. The working parents with elementary school kids hated it. Thankfully it was only last year.
Both kids and my husband are off on Monday, but sadly I have to work. At least traffic will be light.
This weekend we were planning on taking out the last bits of personal stuff on the boat, in order to put it up for sale but it looks like it's gonna rain all weekend which will make that hard to do - it's a long walk up the dock and to the parking garage - we'll be soaked after the first load.

No three-day weekend here. We don't have anything much planned, though at some point I think we'll get out to see The Illusionist (new movie by the director of The Triplets of Belleville ). Doing taxes and going through our wedding photos to decide which ones to get copies of.
Also, I want to finally figure out how to get my external hard drive to show up as the E drive again, and not as the F drive, as it's been doing lately. A small thing, but since I have iTunes pointed to the E drive for a ton of my music, it's actually really annoying.

No three-day weekend, but since I work at home with the new version of my job, it's not a lot of difference.
Weekend: more cleaning and sorting at Dad's house, and more writing. Maybe I'll be zany and go to a thrift store on Sunday or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The tastiest fizzy thing so far is half carbonated water, half plum juice. I don't much like the syrups. But the fizzy watered down juice is delicious. Hopefully this will help with my Izze problem.
Why can't you fizz up anything other than water? I really want to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys are funny with your fancy names for time off school. Here, next week is February Vacation, as is good and right.
I have Monday off, and plans to go skating tomorrow, and maybe a party Sunday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The other day I posted a link on how to fizz up fruit.

I think it's that sugar getting into the carbonation nozzle would be a bad thing.
