We're going to a concert tonight in honor of a college professor who is retiring after 53 years at the college. Incredible!
I'm planning to go for a long run with a dear friend on Saturday morning. It'll be good to shed some stress out on the road or trails.
DH & I are both music teachers, and he has a big music festival on Saturday. We'll be going to that & I'll get to hear his band along with my brother's too. Awesome!
Sunday, I'm running a race in the city. I plan to wear my Team FUIF shirt and pound the pavement as hard as my body will allow.
@RunCC37 sounds like you have a great weekend planned - enjoy! You deserve it:)
I took Monday off and will be doing gardening and painting/etc. There is also a town wide yard sale tomorrow and with our neighborhood in the center of town, apparently we won't be able to leave at all. This is our first year there so it should be interesting!

@RunCC37 I've mostly completed the room other than accessories and wall hangings, but I'll take a picture once it's completed.
@Lacyj67 I hope the shower goes well and doesn't get you down. Drink the mom-to-be's share of the wine.

That's unbelievably thoughtful and unselfish of you. I'm proud of you, I couldn't do it. I do hope you enjoy your cocktails and the company of good friends- @geordie314 - hope your time off is amazing!
We are going to one of my husband's friend's wedding Saturday night...I'm not friends with any of the other people that will be going, but I will make the best of it for my husbands sake.
Really hoping the sun comes out for awhile Sunday... I want to play in my garden. Maybe a movie or something fun with my husband in the afternoon.

Proud moment: I kicked ass at the race today!! I wore my Team FUIF shirt proudly, and when I looked at my Garmin watch I was blown away by my pace. It's still not as fast as I was a year ago, but it's the fastest I have run since starting treatments with the RE. I'll take it!!
Re: What's in your bowl this weekend?
