My Weekend Plans

For those who have an interest in my weekend plans, here they are!

I plan to stay put. Oh, of course I will go to work and to church, but for that I do not need to leave the compound. Although, I do plan to venture out of doors to do my parents meds, but I have already asked THGGM's help with that. He hasn't responded favorably yet. Temperatures containing windchills below zero do not sit well with me. Not outdoors anyway.

I've already sent him my list of "hunkering down" supplies for the weekend. Hopefully, once he gets home, he will not need to leave the compound either. We will be well set with chili's and soups and food that gives us comfort (and quite possibly, gas).

Youngest Son will be moving out this weekend. He seems to be enjoying his new job. He is absolutely enjoying his new found income. THGGM and I are enjoying the thought that the food we buy will still be there when we open a cupboard to retrieve it. He will be living with his friend with whom he shared an apartment a few years ago, and a friend who owns a house and was recently divorced. They have been friends since they met in Miss Jana's kindergarten class.

Baby Boy will be spending Sunday night with us. His parents are going to a Superbowl party. I doubt that WE will be watching the superbowl, although, for the sake of my Bears loving family in Illinois and Wisconsin, we will tune in from time to time to wish them well. Or, as THGGM likes to say 'we do have TWO tvs'.

Now. I hope to finish "Wuthering Heights". I've actually never read a book in which I hoped so much for characters to die. Heathcliff and Cathy are horrible people. I thought that since I have seen the movie and read the book at a much younger age, I must have missed something. Clearly, I haven't missed a thing. At least in "Jane Eyre", Jane was a peach, and Mr. Rochester at least had redeemable qualities (and, i am sure, several STD's). Anyway, on my lap while I read WH, I keep a copy of a "Mutts" comic books. I need the balance.

When I am not reading, I have a plan to reorganize my art room. I'm going to begin by putting away 100 things an hour. Let's see how that goes. Oh, yes. I DO have hundred's of things out of place. Hundreds. Beads and glue and glitter and markers and colored pencils and stamps and punches and sculpey and picture frames and clothes pins and lace and rick-rack and patterns and templates and scrabble letters and stencils and books and magazines and corks and erasers and exacto knifes and cotton balls and pom-poms and charms and baby food jars and empty creamer cartons and batting and clip boards and small wooden boxes and tiny tins and other stuff. Lots and lots of other stuff. 100 things in an hour. Wish me luck.

I might make some Valentine's, too. But, the materials for that are still in a picnic basket in the dining room.

Oh! And tonight I plan to watch "Ground Hog's Day". I LOVE it. Some people don't. I'm one of those who do. My favorite scene is the one when he is watching Jeopardy.

Maybe you won't hear from me again until Monday.

Maybe you will.
