I don't know, but you do need to have an AWESOME time so you can tell us all about it.

Do I need to pack my parka for Yosemite next week?
Yes, or at least some sort of warm jacket. It will probably be cold at night.
And, wow, that snuck up on me!

I'm glad we've sold the farm, but I dread everything that's involved with actually completing the process. Mostly the driving to Tennessee part.
Zenkitty, sorry if I've asked this before and forgotten, but where in TN is the farm? Or, in other words, how close will you be to Nashville?
Zenkitty, I wish you safe travels and for the love of all things holy, I don't care how bad you have to pee, DO NOT stop at The Bean Pot.
Truer words, smonster! Man, we stopped there all unknowing on our way to Asheville in May -- not just to use the bathroom, but to eat! What fools! Never before or or since have I had a meal that was so uniformly brown, fried, and disgusting. Plus, what smonster said about the horrifyingly racist knickknacks for sale. Just ugh ugh ugh all around.
ION, my plans for the weekend involve Resting and Not Planning a Wedding. I can neither confirm nor deny that they may also involve cooking Spanish tortillas and cleaning the bathroom.

Where are you going in Yosemite, Tom? In the Valley you probably won't need a coat during the day, and it depends on what you think of as parka temperatures at night.
And I second what Perkins said about having an awesome time!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Probably not, Tom. Layers, yes, and a warm hat goes a long way towards coping with unexpectedly low temps.
Speaking of planting things and not expecting them to grow (what? That was less than 24 hrs ago): one of my ubiquitous avocado-pits-in-a-jar has split and produced a bit of a root system, though no greenery.

OK mystery solved. Bean Pot is racist and awful food.

Someone needs to give me a primer on not-too-spicy Thai food I could try. We have at least four Thai places in town.
Just bear in mind that the cool-and-refreshing-sounding green papaya salad is flavored with blazing hot peppers. And if you see anything labeled "hot" or "spicy" on a Thai restaurant menu, for God's sake take their word for it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wanna go somewhere!
Except, of course, how I can't. I would like to be able to, though. That would be nice.
My sister is going to be away for Christmas, which would normally mean I don't go home, but maybe I will anyway. But then I have no one to go to the beach with...would my parents take pity on me and come with, and would I then have to kill them? It's very hard to predict.

Green curry can be pretty spicy. But I highly recommend pad thai, massaman curry, and yellow curry (just make sure to specify mild, and not every place has it, but it's my FAVE).
DH's dad wants a new car, a used Mustang convertible, but they only have $1,000 saved up and have decided their kids should buy the car for him. They already have two cars, but the junker he drives makes him feel "depressed," apparently.
Um, WTF?? Seriously?
