single girl weekend

What would you do if you were single for a weekend…single and kid free?  C took R to his parents for the weekend for some quality grandparent time.  And also to give me a break.  These weekends are pretty rare and wonderful.  I normally choose to do things around the house that need getting done.  The last weekend I had off I stripped old varnish off an antique cedar trunk, and washed our carpets, the time before that I painted and rearranged our bedroom.  I wasn’t real sure what to do this weekend, I really didn’t have any big house projects that absolutely needed to get done.  So here’s my plan….

~ I rented 6 movies for this weekend.  I am so far behind on movies it’s a bit crazy, which is pretty normal.  What’s different is that now there are actually movies I want to see.  So I went to the video store and pulled 6 movies and there’s probably another 6 I’d like to rent after this.  My selection includes, the Help, Friends with Benefits, Super 8, Midnight in Paris, 50/50, and Jane Eyre.  I hope to get through at two movies tonight.
~ I did find a home project…I put polyurethane on that antique trunk I stripped a few months ago.  Now I won’t have to worry about R leaving water drips on it.
~ Tomorrow morning plans to meet up with a girlfriend for coffee, fabric shopping, and sewing.  Real excited.
~ I’m going to put another layer of poly on the trunk and dining room table.
~ In the evening I’m having another girlfriend over for movies and take out Chinese food.  YUM We’ll probably work on some crochet or knitting while watching movies too.
~ Sunday I plan to finish any movies I haven’t gotten to and doing some general house pick up. 

I’m making dinner now…a frozen turkey pot pie which is actually a fave of mine.  I’ve stolen my hubby’s sweat pants and am curled up on the couch watching the news and putting together some new fabric bundles.  There’s some new fun kids fabrics out there I can’t help but dream about and play with.  I’m thinking the first movie to go in will be Super 8.
