Woohoo WeekendFollow

Tonight we're taking my son and gf out to dinner to celebrate his birthday. I got him a Nook Tablet. I'm kind of excited to give it to him. He's coveted my Nook ever since I got it.

Agh then I'm busy - laundry, packing, making some food to take on road trip and some food to leave behind for my boys.

Sunday morning I head to Syracuse to my daughters. We'll hang there until Monday morning when we'll road trip it to Northern Wisconsin. Our first adventure is with my sisters, a nephew, my dad and a gf on a cruise of the Apostle Islands (a group of islands off the Bayfield Peninsula in Lake Superior). After a couple days lounging at my dad's lake place, we head to my in-laws lake place in MN for a family picnic with g&g, sister-in-laws, cousins et al. Then we hit the big city for a day at the zoo, a day downtown (where all the lights are bright), an evening at the Walker Art Museum, a dinner with HS friends (organized via facebook) and various other visits and unknown encounters. Then the drive home with a stop in Boston to check out the boy-childs new pad.

I'm off work until August 20!

We should totally start a Dragon Age thread!

I realized I posted this weekend's happenings in last weekend's thread. Oh, the gaffes! Now I'll never be president

Nothing too exciting planned for this weekend. I need to drive hella far to see my... second cousin's?... birthday. The son of my cousin, whatever that is. I usually just refer to him as a cousin or nephew or just "Josh". We blew off the last couple parties at my cousin's house so I'm going to make this one even if it starts late in the day and Flea will be staying home with the baby.

Nothing planned for Sunday. Next weekend has more going on but that's Flea's story to share should she pop in.

UFC on Fox w/ a friend. Doing some grilling, then, mostly writing.

I'm working on a book!

Oh Jesusfajitafishsticks, not again!


You might still be, but you should host the Olympics in the middle of nowhere first!

Whoa whoa whoa, way to just nonchalantly slide a post into the weekend thread.

HI!

The condo is going to get a thorough cleaning this weekend and hoepefully I can get my dishwasher working again. Unfortunately, it's not one of those models you can slap start . Other than that, I'll probably play a lot of Star Wars and veg out.

Can't beat a New England vacation - though Vermont is lacking a seashore.

I had to look-up adventure time - looks interesting.

Playing any games these days?

Even without a seashore, Vermont is just about perfect.

Playing some LOTRO and EQ lately. That's about it. Gave RIFT and SW:TOR a whirl and although I liked Rift, it got boring. Star Wars had an awesome storyline, but there was just something about it that couldn't keep my interest. So I'm back to the madness that is EQ.

Chlorr is still terrorizing the mobs of Norrath?

I've heard a bit about the Moors getting an overhaul in LoTRO. I might have to re-sub for a month and check it out.

High school reunion stuff pretty much all weekend for me. I was the organizer of it so I'm inundated with details that need to be wrapped up. I'll be glad when this weekend is over.

I've been exercising and eating healthier the last month and am starting to show it. Think fat/ter than Hellboy but on a shorter 6'5" frame. I'm really starting to show results and plan on playing disc golf after several years off for the first time tomorrow AM. This is in addition to my 20-40 minutes on a stationary bike daily. I tried to go play tonight but the course was ridiculously crowded. Also, I started taking Alli on Wednesday because my weight loss hasn't been fast enough. I'm now on a reduced fat 15g or less per meal diet or else I will be shitting my pants with oily discharge.

Other than that, I'm probably going to drink a lot, ********** a fair share, and start up a game of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.

I start school back up at the end of this month with 4 classes totaling 13 credits in addition to my current 40 hours working. I expect to be incredibly busy soon.

There's always Lake Champlain.

Lake Champlain IS pretty fantastic.

Howling Stones ranks as one of my all time favorite zones. My new necro spend some time there gaining xp/tearing things apart.
