Not too much - grocery shopping, and maybe a movie. I've got the crockpot fired up today, so dinner will be made when I get home! Not sure why I don't use the crockpot more. It's brilliant, really.
Sigh. No. We had talked and looked into going away to go snowboarding for the weekend - but nothing materialized, any inn has a 2 night minimum and staying 2 nights ends up costing twice as much plus leaving M for two nights (not that we wont, but we are actually doing that next weekend for a wedding, so felt bad). Now its Friday and we didn't figure anything out. And we have 2 feet of powder in our yard with travel next weekend and then school vacation week (aka a ski resort zoo) so all this snow is going to go to waste. Maybe we'll go sledding?
So if we are stuck home for the weekend - probably absolutely nothing interesting.
I don't know why, but I feel much more compelled to post by a "Finally Friday" post than by a "What's Up this Weekend?" post. I guess I'm like "Yes, finally friday! I need in on that action."
Anyway, we're going over to our friends' house for dinner tonight. They're a queer couple that we were in our infertility support group with and then they also lost their baby this summer.
Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going for "drinks" with 3 of my friends tomorrow. Then tomorrow evening, we are going to our former neighbors' house to play games. They're super lovely and we haven't seen them for a while.
Sunday morning we are going for brunch with one of my good friends who was my housemate for a few years.
This is the busiest weekend we've had in a long time.
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.
This weekend we are taking the kiddos to a gymnastics class. We are signing up for tons of free trial classes in hopes of enrolling them in something for the spring. Hoping they do well with it. Up next will be a music class and a theatre class.

With a broken leg, it kind of limits what can and want to do, and honestly we've been in full on hibernation mode so far this winter. I think we're going to stay in and have some romantic US time/lazy time/doing stuff around the house time.
We did decide earlier this week to plan a trip for when my cast comes off and go to Vegas during Dinah Vegas. We're trying to fit a bunch of fun stuff this year before we start TTC in 2016 so I'm looking forward to that!

I am trying to decide if I would rather be in a cast for winter or summer, I can't come up with an answer!
We are headed to Vegas in 2 weeks. We have never been, and our friend is turning 40. Part of me wants a baby/kid right NOW, but then the more logical part of me realizes it is much easier to travel, just adults.
I am not sure what we will end up doing this weekend. Today is my FIL's birthday, so we will go to dinner, even though he does not look in my direction.
Tomorrow there is a Super Mom2Mom sale that is about an hour and a half from where we live. In theory it would be worth the trip, but the only thing I would really be looking for is a cheap changing table, so I am not sure it is worth standing in the cold, when they aren't super expensive & and if our placement is a toddler, we won't need it anyway.
The wife is working Sunday, so maybe I can talk her into deciding on a paint color for the kid room and I can work on that.
Both the kids have gym class tomorrow. We are going shopping to get our daughter an art desk and get the baby another light weight winter jacket, since the one he has is getting a bit tight on him. Sunday we have a bounce party which they will both absolutely love.

Hmm, this is my second winter cast and it definitely has it's challenges: crutching in ice, wearing pants, cold toes... BUT I'd rather be out of commission in the winter when everyone is inside anyway!
I'm in the same boat as you, I want to knock my partner up tomorrow, haha, but I'm convincing myself that year of solo fun will be good for us.
Enjoy Vegas and not having to pack for a baby now!
Just got back from business trip & headed to CO for my half sisters wedding. It's a complicated religious family & I'm trying to be good. My dad reached out this year after about 10 years without speaking and I'm trying to be open to it, but it's hard. Not sure I can be open & trust it. Something tells me this won't be 'fun' but hopefully it goes ok!

IMO Finally Friday is better than Feel Good Friday.
I'm late to the the FF party but I am so happy for this weekend; my weeks at work have been crazy. I didn't have any real weekend plans until about 10 minutes ago when we decided that we are going to go out for dinner with our bestie couple and then they'll stay over here because we are expecting a fair amount of snow. I'm planning to drink wine (I haven't had a glass of wine since September) and convince everybody to play Cards Against Humanity.

Thanks for asking crazyaunt84- it was great and horrible all at once. I'm glad I came but I need to really try to figure out how to let go of expectations I have for my dad. I think it would be better if I just didn't expect him to be 'dad' and could lean to just accept him as is. *sigh* I have lots to still process...

I am not sure that I have an advise on how to do it, but once you can it is a life changer.
For a LONG time I put expectations on my mom and judged her when she could not live up to them. A lot of counseling later, I have been able to realize that she is who she is, and I can't want more for her than she wants for herself. It has helped us create a relationship since I am not judging her anymore. I was holding onto being the child and that she is the one that should change. Once I made a shift in my thinking, it helped. She is not going to change, because she is content in her life.
ETA: Not sure if that is helpful or just rambles...
