It's Friday again, the last one in August. I'm off to spend the day outside in the sunshine. But first, how about some happy things to end the week with?
* Birthday parcels, ready to mail off this morning.
* Fresh blackberries. With vanilla ice cream, they'll make the perfect dessert.
* Getting to spend more time with my sister yesterday {even though, collectively, our kids were obnoxious and drove us mental}
* Big Bang Theory. So funny. How is it that we've never watched this show before?
* Getting preschool work done: Executive agenda? Check. Orientation night schedule? Check. Calm, collected and organized president? Check!
* Walking in the loveliest warm ocean water= happy feet.
* Doctor Who returns tomorrow night!!! Awesome. Let's kill Hitler!
Plans for the weekend include more beach time, a picnic, Starbucks {and lesson planning} with my teaching partner, baking a blackberry crumble, reading a good book while I lay in the grass somewhere, lounging on the couch eating popcorn and watching sci-fi with my hubby, and- fingers crossed- hopefully going to see The Help on Sunday night {I adored the book and can't wait to see the movie}...
How about you? What has your weekend got in store? Whatever it is, I hope it's excellent.
Happy Friday!
PS: Flowers for you. Bet you thought I forgot...

ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, Erin- have a wonderful weekend!
toes in the sand + water? bliss indeed!!!
ReplyDeletehow you ever have a moment to rest and read is beyond me ;) i need your energy!!! "the help"-- it's the only book i didn't get a chance to getting to before the movie came out but i don't care if i'll have to do it in reverse order-- i LOVED the movie. LOVED. and it makes me want to read it all the more! i can't wait to hear what you think!!! oh to go with you...
could you send me some blackberry crumble?
i'm so happy to have the weekend off (not the norm in a part time retail job!) and i'm looking forward to just relaxing, cleaning up, and catching up on my pile of letters-- i've been so behind in life it feels!). i'm thinking of starting "catcher in the rye" as i've never read the classic... i just finished light summer reading but man was it good! I couldn't put it down ("love the one you're with" by emily giffen, the perfect summer read).
have you read j.d. salinger?
xoxo happy weekend and thanks for the flowers ;)
A long car journey back home to Manchester, at least x73 'are we there yet', stacks of washing when I reach home, packing it all up again for another mammoth car journey to Kent on Monday - I'm not sure I'm looking forward to this weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnd I still haven't got round to planning my projects for my new classes but a week left so I'll start sometime soon (I hope)
Enjoy yours!

I think you weekend sounds like utter bliss. Beach time and a picnic, reading, watching a movie and popcorn. This sounds like my perfect weekend.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it's rainy and gloomy but I don't mind it when I'm cosy at home.
I can't wait to see The Help either. It should be wonderful. x
Since we're holed up from hurricane Irene (currently a lot of rain--it should be worse tonight, eek!), I'm planning on reading and eating all weekend. Back to school meeting is on Wednesday and birthday is Thursday. I have zero qualms about being a complete lazy pants for two days :)
ReplyDeleteyou are so incredibly cute:). all of it sounds SOOOO lovely (even the obnoxious kid part, since you got to spend some time with your sister). I LOVED The Help (book) as well and can't wait to see the movie. Let us know if you ended up seeing it. Also.... have any good book recommendations? I have not read in forever and we are going to the beach next week. Send me any recommendations; I know you're a reader so you must have some good ones:). Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeletexox, Blair
Another fantastic list to finish the week and a lovely sounding weekend planned too. I have to admit though I have just read this and your fb status and like someone else said over there - I am imagining pizza with a dollop of ice-cream and blackberry topping!
