Randoms, Please

[wannabmama]

I am finally back in my office for a full day for the first time in over two weeks and need some randoms to move the day along, please!

What's up with you? Plans for the weekend? Something else fun to share with the class??



ETA: important weekend gif

[treble]

I'm going to the casino tonight! DRUNK TREBLE LOVES TO GAMBLE AND FLIRT!!!

[lgraceh]

I love the casino, treble! Have a blast! What is your poison? Tables or machines?

DH's BF had his baby last night. They asked us to be Godparents, which is nice, but I have no clue what that means to them. I'm having lots of feels. The BF wasn't with the baby mama at the time she GKU, so it hurts that they get a baby, but H and I have been trying for 18 months.

Looks like my weekend plan is to have all the cinder at the Cinder Festival tomorrow!!!

[bex15]

I'm so happy it's Friday. I've been such a grumpy bitch recently (since all of that shit started at work a few weeks ago), I need to relax and snap out of it. I think I'll get a pedicure and maybe a massage tomorrow!

[bibliothecary]

IT'S FRIDAY? HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE, I GOTTA GO WATCH DRAG RACE.

[wannabmama]

MH is taking me out for a date night tonight, I am so excited. We have been cutting way back on spending and haven't gone out to dinner in a long time. I feel a little guilty even going tonight, since I am not bringing home the bacon these days, but I really want a night off of cooking and we could use some time to reconnect a bit, so I am looking forward to it!

Tomorrow we have a wedding reception to go to (I ordered a RTR (had a coupon and discount so it was only $25!!! I hope it's cute!) and then Sunday, a 1 year old bday party...so hopefully that goes ok...

[wannabmama]

lgraceh that's funny you mention that about being godparents, my friend just asked me to be godmother to her youngest daughter and I am really touched and happy...but also have no idea what that means to them (they are barely religious, I think her husband is an atheist). I am just going to take it to mean that I get to spoil her extra rotten (and be there for her when she is going through teen angst and needs an adult to talk to other than her mom), ha!)

Hello ladies
FFFC? I have never been, nor do I really ever want to go to a casino. I dont see the appeal.
I will play the lotto every now and then.....
My coffee date cancelled on account of weather, which I am super happy about. its too cold and wet to go walking.

[wannabmama]

kellybenelly83 MH hates casinos, too...I think they are really fun. I don't gamble much but I like all the activity and the funny characters that tend to roam them.

[shopgirl24]

Happy Friday!

FI and I officially have a wedding date and a venue!

[lgraceh]

wannabmama, same here. I have no idea if they are religious currently (I do know the dad grew up going to church). H and I just started going back to church, so I'm sure they don't think of us as religious. I like the idea of spoiling!

[kellybenelly83]

I feel like this weekend I'm as close to gambling as I can get. I'm planning a trip to Ikea on a sunday.

[marshian]

My H is on call this weekend with a new junior resident, so he's likely to be fairly busy. My only plans so far are to attend a celebration of life for my friend's mom tomorrow, and playing tennis with a friend on Sunday. My list of things to do at home is long, though, so hopefully I can make a dent there.

A spa day sounds great. Enjoy!

too cold? Does not compute.

It's still 90F here.

it was only 11 degrees C (about 52F) here, but it was more the rain, and the fact that I have to walk 25 minutes to get there. If it was just cold I would love it. But wet and cold? no thanks.

[marshian]

treble - Have fun at the casino! I like gambling, but only small amounts of money, so going to the casinos near me is just disappointing because the minimums are all high.

lgraceh & wannabmama - Congrats on becoming a godparent!

shopgirl24 - Glad you found a venue and have a date!

mistabinx - I need to also cut soda out. I've done it in the past but always end back up with it. I don't think that much, but it's so bad for you. Good job!

Ooh, have fun! My H hates going there because I will inevitably find something not on our list. Gambling, indeed!

I'm here. I like my money, but the energy is fun for me.

marshian it really is my achilles heel. I wish I could hate it.

Same here.

H has bronchitis and I think I may have the same or pneumonia....sigh.

I'm going to the walk-in after work today to find out if I have the above or not. Only work until 2:30 today so hopefully I can make it until then.

Boo! I hope you both feel better quickly!

[kellybenelly83]

butlerfan I hope you feel better, pneumonia is awful. I had it once and I wish it upon nobody, I dont think I ever felt so terrible. I hope you bounce back quickly.

I'm going apple picking tomorrow. Should be quite the expedition. We are 4 families all coordinated to the same orchard with parents, kids, grandparents etc. My sister just split from her husband, so shes actually coming out and doing things now with the kids, its way more fun now that we actually talk. But damn, I dont know what I'm going to do with all the apples! theres only so many pies we can eat! I have to find my muffin recipe....

[icedtea]

Feel better butlerfan!

I'm impressed you have so many people going together for apples!

As to what to make, some ideas:
- Apple pie bars (like this)
- Applesauce
- Apple and sausage skillet (good with potatoes)
- Apple cinnamon bundt cake
- Apple and brie tarts
- Apple, butternut squash, sage soup (like this)

Can you tell I love apples?

OMG. I LOVE apples in savory dishes. The apple and sausage skillet is so freaking good. I love it with sweet potatoes and shaved brussels sprouts!
