The Week Ahead: January 19-25, 2009

I’ve got a busy week ahead of me. Some of it fun. Let’s see if I can keep this short:

Monday, January 19, 2009 – No school or work today due to the MLK holiday. Right now I have a picnic lunch planned since it was too windy to do it yesterday. However, the kids may want to see a movie instead. Either way, at some point I will be on the couch reading 🙂 Of course it won’t be during 24. I have to focus on Jack Bauer and all his running, yelling glory.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 – The BIG day. My work is having an Inauguration Breakfast this morning. The menu includes a waffle bar with all the fixin’s. We’ll nosh and watch the event in HD. I won’t be able to watch all of it because today is also the first day that my photography class meets. In the evening, we have a Music Man rehearsal and I will be taking notes for production week which is four days away.

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 – Work and meetings. In the evening, more rehearsal but I don’t have to attend this one so I will wait in the car with a book. I’ll be starting The Bone People tonight for my book club.

Thursday, January 22, 2009 – Work and my photography class. Tonight is my book club’s big book selection meeting for 2009. We choose the books that we will read for the rest of the year. Yikes! I want to pitch at least two books but I keep changing my mind. I think one of them will be The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti. There’s been some interest in The Gargoyle as the second but I’m not sure. Ideas? Once we decide, I will post the list.

Friday, January 23, 2009 – Nothing going on today. It will be a good day to catch-up on work stuff and any reading I need to wrap-up later this evening.

The Weekend – On Saturday my daughter and I are going to a Mommy and Me Stampin’ Up workshop. On Sunday, we are in the theatre and production week begins. This is a tough week. There are some late nights and my daughter, who is not in this show, will miss me dearly as she will only see me in the mornings until the show wraps after Superbowl weekend. My son is still recovering from his surgery so I hope he holds out okay.

What do you have planned this week?

The Sunday Salon: January 18, 2009

It’s Sunday! It’s sunny and I can tell it will be very warm today. The kids are fed but the coffee has yet to be made. Guess I will get right on that.

Last night was a Father/Son night event at a glow-in-the-dark golf place. It was hosted by PTO so I actually had to work it with my daughter while my husband and son played. It was a fun night and I ended up not having to do much at all. My daughter got a bit antsy towards the end because she couldn’t actually play but that’s understandable.

Today, I need to pick-up a few more prop items for The Music Man and then we may try to fit the park in somewhere. I’m thinking about a picnic in the park. That sounds nice, doesn’t it? Later on we will head on over to my MIL’s house for some football watching and nibbly bits (snacks).

I’m still reading The Terror and liking it. It’s reminding me of the show Deadliest Catch (which I love) but somewhere in there there is a monster which I haven’t gotten to yet. A monster in the Arctic… scary!
