Driving my fancy new car to Madison!

Oh, and hanging out with Sail! We're gonna see Captain America! And use exclamation points!

The Feelies are giving a free concert in Prospect Park tomorrow. But I just saw them in May, and it's still going to be a zillion degrees, so I might bail.

Flying! Then attempting to speak Spanish!

I'll be watching Torchwood with some people tonight, meeting a couple of friends for brunch on Saturday, and cleaning my apartment for a friend who'll be visiting Tuesday night. The heat's not expected to break for the next week, so I'll probably spend the rest of the weekend in my ACed apartment, reading a clearing off my dvr. Unfortunately it's even pretty warm in the mornings now, so my running's taking a hit.

What are people doing this weekend?

Cleaning the house, getting over the remnant of this sinus infection, having a very small very belated birthday party tomorrow night t edit (which entails baking a cake -- in this heat, what was I thinking? ice-cream cakes are gluten free! poor planning). Possibly Captain America on Sunday, but probably not.

Donde esta el baño? Quiero un jamon y queso! That's pretty much what got me through Venezuela! Although exactly what I got for the ham and cheese varied pretty significantly, I always knew basically what I'd be eating.

This is a working weekend. We finished up one camp yesterday, are starting one today, and will be ducking back to Indianapolis to go to church with the SO's folks at the church where they were wed, fifty years ago. And next weekend is their anniversary bash. And then back to start the next week of camp Sunday. Oy.

Plans this weekend...

Drop CJ off for a weekend of survival training.
Try to convince K-Bug to go out to see Corb Lund (sans the Hurtin Albertans) tonight.
Then sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I still can't do karate, so maybe I'll hit the treadmill to try to get back up to speed. I'm testing in September and I feel like I've fallen way behind.

This weekend mr. flea and the kids are planning to make terrariums from old applesauce jars. For some reason mr. flea thinks I know something about terrariums and expects me to advise him.

So far I think Pix is winning the weekend competition.

I'm certainly not giving her a run for the money although I plan on having a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Stretch class and hanging out with friends on Saturday--usually that turns into day-long playdate--and hope to see some other friends on Sunday. Oh, and spending the afternoon at SM beach.

The budget convo is a good reminder for me that we really need to create a budget and stick to it. I am not a big spender, but I'm bad at sticking to a budget too. I like my things, that's the problem.

Yeah, we need to get into better financial shape too, for sure. This summer should be a red flag for us. We gotta get back on the Dave Ramsey train. We lack gazelle-like focus.
