[skategirl128]

What are all of you lovelies up to on this holiday weekend (well for us American and belated Canadian holiday weekend)?

[birch113]

I spent all morning weeding my embarrassingly overgrown flowerbeds! I'll post pics in the garden thread. We are staying in with dinner and a movie tonight, and having friends over for a BBQ tomorrow. No plans for Monday right now. I definitely hope to get some more weeding don't this weekend!

What are you up to, skategirl128?

[skategirl128]

I made a batch of black currant jam and a batch of peach jam after going to the farmers market this morning. SO is visiting his friend in Chicago and I'm home relaxing. I'll pick him up early Monday morning.

Heading to my brothers for a barbecue later. Nothing on tap yet for tomorrow Love these sorts of weekends!

I've spent all day working on a cross stitch for a family friend. Hoping to go look at a doggie today at the humane society after H gets off work. Other then that just relaxing things at home. No real solid plans yet for the 4th.

skategirl128 Ooh, that jam sounds delicious!

This morning/afternoon was spent doing some scrapbooking and general relaxing. Tonight we're going out with friends, and then playing board games (I LOVE board games!). Tomorrow we're visiting the tree that was planted in Theo's honor, and Monday is a BBQ.

At some point we really should do the dishes too. Why is there always dishes?

[skategirl128]

My jams! I'm a jam making machine this summer

skategirl128 I request some jam! Lol I've never had the black currant one, and H loves peach! Are they delish?

[skategirl128]

rslh10 I think we can make that happen!! They are both so good! The black currant reminds me of growing up in London- lots of black currant jam in my childhood. I added these to the strawberry jams I made a couple weeks ago. I have another batch of peach to do tomorrow. We need to gtg soon

Yeah, here too.

[rslh10]

skategirl128 is it supposed to rain there tomorrow? I know we're supposed to get rain starting like right now and all day tomorrow! What about you, cali?

[iheartbroccoli]

I'm jealous of you ladies with the cooler weather! It's over a 100 here, and has been for too many days.

Next week it will be in the low 90's and I'm looking forward to that. Lol.

[skategirl128]

It's supposed to rain starting tomorrow at some point rslh10. We need the rain but we were going to the beach for fireworks so I hope it holds off.

[cali]

rslh10, no rain today. Not sure about tomorrow. Hope not!

[skategirl128]

I went to my aunts lake house! So much fun! I guess I'm doing the beach two days in a row! My cousins were there- including one who lives in Texas. I'm now planning a trip to go see her

So did anyone love Lisa Frank as a kid? I did, SO OBSESSED. Had all the goodies. Clothes, trapper keepers, pens, pencils, posters, book bags. Well, this morning I woke up to a text from my BFF.

It's a which Lisa Frank character are you? Quiz.

You're welcome in advance because it's pretty amazing.

Also? Here's what I got! BFF was a unicorn, and my sister was a kitten!

[iheartbroccoli]

Hahaha, that was fun! So much 90's stuff, I love it.

[skategirl128]

I got the angel kitty! I couldn't figure out how to post that pic though. Some of the stuff was unfamiliar to me- probably because I was overseas.

[menrandes]

So I couldn't sleep this morning, so I decided to occupy my time with dyeing my hair. Woo.

Heading out right now in the pouring rain to go to a board game day. I'm a little lukewarm on it since I'm feeling anti social, but maybe it will keep me out my thoughts for a while. Have fun with your days ladies!

[skategirl128]

So our plans changed today. No second beach day but we will do fireworks at our town instead! Just a quiet relaxing day over here so far!

[elliecat17]

Haha sweet angel kitten. That was fun. I got eaten alive by mosquitos last night.
