What fun do you have planned for this weekend?

[LynzM]

I'm getting a haircut tomorrow and going to see a folk duo I really like, Atwater & Donnelly...

How 'bout you?

[durutti]

1. I'm turning 21 in 3 hours and 13 minutes. n/t

[LynzM]

2. Yay!

:bounce: Goin' out to celebrate, or staying in and DU-surfing?

[durutti]

3. Going to a local bar at midnight. n/t

[bigwillq]

5. Not to burst your bubble

But in my state of CT, that is against the law. You must wait until the next day! I don't know why!

Check what the law is in your state!


BTW, Happy Birthday!:party:

[jonnyblitz]

7. happy bday and cool screenname!!

[deadparrot]

65. Happy birthday! nt

[jonnyblitz]

4. not a thing..layin low....

reading books, etc..:hi:

[LynzM]

12. A-ha!

I found you! LMAO :hi:

Sounds like a good kinda' weekend to me... I could use a nap! (I'm so bad at making myself go to sleep. Damn DU addiction... :))

[jonnyblitz]

16. i get out and about more when the weather changes...

I dont mind nesting in the winter. :)

[LynzM]

20. Nesting is nice...

I can't wait for real Spring, though! And climbing! And hiking, and just being outside!

[CubsFan1982]

8. My best bud is coming home from school for the Easter weekend.

We'll be hanging out most of the time and studying.

[LynzM]

14. Cool!

Hangin' out is good, studying is more fun with other people. What are you studying for?

[CubsFan1982]

17. He's studying for the GRE.

I'm studying for my philosophy midterm next Friday.

[LynzM]

21. Good luck to both of you

Ouch on both of those. I can handle math, but philosophy... well, I'll just leave that to you :)

[CubsFan1982]

33. I can handle philosophy, but I can't handle math.

Maybe I'll talk to you when I have to finish my math gen ed requirement. :D

[LynzM]

36. LOL, sure thing

I made it through four years of engineering classes, but don't have my degree yet. Philosophy 101's still on my Gen Ed list :D

[Ariana Celeste]

9. We are gonna watch a bunch of movies

Just relax, and lounge in our bedroom, watching SNL's Best of Christopher Walken, Natural Born Killers, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Got some extra money so we are gonna gorge on Easter Chocolates!
Unfortunately, the SO has to work overtime tomorrow... so we are gonna do some extra relaxation on Sunday!

[LynzM]

15. Enjoy your movies

And your relaxation on Sunday! ATHF... one more reason I miss Comedy Central... :(

[Ariana Celeste]

26. We ordered ATHF dvd's!

We are soooo done with cable!

Thanks, I hope you enjoy your weekend!! Good luck with your haircut, I always ended up pissed off with the outcome of mine! So much so that I ended up just having people buzz my hair off for me until I started growing it out again, lol.

[LynzM]

28. Excellent!

If I could get cable by the channel.... Oh well.

Not sure yet what I want to do with my hair... probably take 3-4 inches off of it. Long enough to still be able to put it up, shorter enough to cut off the scraggly-looking part!

[latteromden]

10. S'ppose I'll go over to Minneapolis and do nothing - it's better than

doing nothing here in the surburbs. :D

[LynzM]

18. LOL

Yeah, doing nothing in the city is usually more fun than doing nothing in the 'burbs. There's more nothing to do :P

Can I ask, what does your screen name mean?

[latteromden]

37. It's from a few years ago, when I first started learning

Norwegian. I thought that the phrase for "laugh about it" would be something like "latter om den" - turns out, a year later, I realise that it would be more along the lines of "le om det" (which rhymes quite nicely), and that the original makes no sense whatsoever! But it stuck, and it's easy to type. :P

[LynzM]

42. LOL...

Languages are funny like that! What made you want to learn it?

[latteromden]

46. My family's from Norway, and nearly everybody in Minnesota is

also Norwegian, so I figured I was in a state with some good resources. I just love languages.

[LynzM]

50. That's really cool

I love languages, as well. I'd love to find some native German speakers nearby to converse with. Did you know DU has a languages and linguistics group? I don't remember seeing you post over there, but I'm not great with names...

[latteromden]

56. German is such a great language.

I only studied it in elementary school, but I wish I hadn't quit. Everyone else I know thinks it's too rough, but I like it.

Yeah, I was pointed to it a couple weeks ago, and I'm definitely going to go over there once I shell out some donor money (I think I should get paid more often ;)).

[LynzM]

57. Yeah, I enjoy it

I studied French in high school and German in college, and lived in Germany for a while. I miss it, and I miss forcing my brain to work hard like that!

[bigwillq]

11. Working tonight, working tomm.

Off SUnday. Spending the day with the family. We're having a big Easter Egg Hunt on Sun. With all my cousins. There's 17 of us ages 17-36. FUN!FUN!FUN!:bounce:

[LynzM]

19. Wow!

Gazillions of cousins! Have fun!

[bigwillq]

30. I can't wait! It's going to be a blast!

When all the cousins (this is just on my mom's side) get together, we have so much fun. We all just get drunk and make fun of each other.

WE have names for each other.

For example
My cousin Courtney, we call her Snortney
My cousin Kelsey, we call her Smellsey:)

[GOPisEvil]

13. Nothing.

This is a quiet weekend for me. Next week I'm in a wedding (not my own :P)

[LynzM]

22. Sometimes nothing is good

Everybody needs some time off from the insanity that tends to be life these days! Have a good weekend :)

[yellowdogintexas]

23. Saturday night I am going to a local coffee house to hear a music

group. The members of the band all attend my church and one is in my Sunday School class (and a liberal Democrat!) It is near my house and should be fun.

I am also putting together a gift basket for a charity auction, getting a pedicure, possibly meeting up with a friend at the dog show, chauffering my daughter to work. this is on Saturday

Sunday I am going to church, then taking a drive to the South to see if I can get some good bluebonnet and other wildflower photos.

[LynzM]

24. Wowza, busy weekend!

Enjoy the music, cool on the charity auction, and good luck with the pictures! You should share, if you get some good ones, please!

[yellowdogintexas]

49. oh part of the reason I am going on the bluebonnet hunt is to

post photos. Besides, I have never really found one of those huge fields of bluebonnets that I have always heard about. So I want to see one, and take its picture.

[Mr. McD]

25. Not exactly fun but

I will be repairing flood damage. I fixed the problem, now I have a backroom that is getting sheet rock repair and ceramic tile to replace the ruined carpet.

[LynzM]

31. Sorry to hear about the flooding...

Doesn't really sound like a 'fun' weekend, but I bet you'll be glad when everything is fixed!

[mongo]

27. Work a 12hr shift on Sat, but we're closed on Sunday

Yea get an extra day off this month!

But we'll probably just stay home and do the dishes...

[LynzM]

32. Woo-hoo!

Yay for days off! Do you run the place yourself, or just work there?

[mongo]

54. My wife and I own and operate

I have one employee who works 24 hrs/week for me. We usually get 2 days off a month.

[LynzM]

58. Wow.

I can't imagine... I worked 7 days/week for about 3 weeks, and it was rough. Is it easier when it's your own business?

[mongo]

63. It's a lot like indentured servitude, really.

But you get used to it. The first 6 months we were here 72 hours a week (we were'nt open Sunday then), but now when Chuck (my employee) comes in we are usually out of here. So we only have to work noon - 6pm on 4 days/week - less during the xmas and valentines seasons 'cause we can give Chuck extra hours.

If we were making money, it would be great. But as it is, we've worked these hours for less than minimum wage and no health insurance.

It is great being your own boss and the customers are really nice. They are glad I'm here and don't have to drive 30 miles to a sex store anymore.

I used to make the big bucks as a computer systems analyst - but I would rather be a clerk, janitor, handyman, merchandiser, stockboy and CEO of this fledgling corporation than go back to the cube farm.

[Longgrain]

29. I keep saying I'm going to do some more painting,

Maybe tommorrow...other than that, just relax and unwind...

It's been a busy last few weeks...

[LynzM]

34. Do you find painting to be relaxing?

Enjoy your weekend :)

[Longgrain]

38. The way I paint it's more of a workout...

but one that usually leaves me satisfied...

[jmowreader]

35. It's Tony Stewart Show Car Weekend!

And I'm up to my ass in the big show!

For the first time in three years, they're sending my store a Home Depot show car. (A "show car" is a NASCAR race car that is put on display in front of a store or something so all of that driver's loyal fans can look at it.) Tonight, I have to go back to the store at 10pm (I worked 9am-4pm already) to clean up the area we're going to put the car. Tomorrow at 6am, I've got to be BACK at the store to help unload the car from the hauler, put up the display around it, and talk about the car with race fans for a few hours. It's actually fun to do--I've done a couple of similar events.

[LynzM]

43. Wow... sneak some sleep in there someplace

And enjoy it! I'm glad it's some fun and not just work for you!

[bearfan454]

39. We will dye Easter eggs with the granddaughter

and hide them in the yard and the Easter Bunny will bring a basket.

[LynzM]

44. Cool...

I think next year will be the first time our daughter will be old enough to really enjoy that... have fun! :bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

40. To quote the great Peter Gibbons

Absolutely Nothing.

[LynzM]

45. Rock on, nothing man.

:D :bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

48. I'd tell you what I do if i had a million dollars man

Two chicks at the same time :D, did I mention that movie rocks even more now that Ive worked in an office.

[LynzM]

52. LMAO

It's such a great movie, and really, often more of a documentary than a comedy! Sad, that.

[JohnKleeb]

55. Yes in many ways

I remember when and where I first saw it too, god it was great.

[SarahB]

41. Covertly sneaking on the computer...

between tasks at work. :P

[LynzM]

47. Shame on you!

:P (like I don't do the same thing all flippin' day sometimes.... shame on me, too!)

How crazy is it tonight? And, did you get your shift for tomorrow?

[SarahB]

59. Still waiting to find out.

Looks like they need me though, so knock wood. :D

[LynzM]

60. Fingers crossed for you!

Seems like they always need people!

[CottonBear]

51. I'm going to a birthday party and spend time with my horse.

My filly, Cotton, is almost 2 years old and is a real beauty! I'll groom her and we'll do some training. I'm hoping it won't rain until late afternoon here in Georgia.

[LynzM]

53. Fingers crossed for late-afternoon rain!

Do you have any pics of her?

[CottonBear]

64. I need a digital camera!

I'm going to ask for one for my birthday. I will borrow one soon and post a "post picture of you and your pet" thread in the Lounge.

Cotton is almost 2, bay with a star and three white feet! She is an Oldenburg, which is a German breed. She was approved (by the Germans!) as an Oldenburg last September. I had to take her to the official breed approval in order to have her approved as an Oldenburg. I can't ride her until she's 4 (her bones and joints must be fully grown). She is a sweet filly and has a good mind with an incredible ability to learn. She is a large and beautiful pet! She likes sugar cubes but I don't feed her by hand since she might mistake my fingers for food! I give her treats in her food bucket.

[fleabert]

61. going skiing!

more than three feet of snow in N. Lake Tahoe and a holiday weekend means it will be very busy, but I can't wait!

[flamingyouth]

62. Work tomorrow and an all-day yoga workshop Sunday.

:hi:
