It would just kinda push everything around and gunk it up, etc - and that was with sweeping beforehand! I also wondered if I was using too much solution.

I was going to post the same thing last weekend!
It's really the perfect time too because, in my neck of the country anyhow, the weather is cool to cold and everything stays chilled (including the fridge) when spread all over the countertops.
I had an entire trashbag full of stuff... and I'm pretty diligent about throwing things away timely (small fridge).
I had to do all my prep/cooking for the most part some things before today becaues I work through Saturday, including TK, so an empty fridge was a necessity.
The next day, my daughter remarked on how *bright* the refriger was... umm.. yeah, there's nothing blocking the light now!
Well, it's pretty packed now and because of a stuffing blunder (spilled in too much sage --- forgot the shaker top was off), I have THREE pans of stuffing (had to add more corn bread to even things out) which have maxed out the capacity completely.
...hope I can squeeze in a few Bud lights ;-)
I was thinking the same thing.

I was thinking the SAME thing
about DumDum and Night at the Museum. I really liked the movie. Saw it even though it had so-so to bad reviews.
But very funny DumDum.
you know i was thinking the same thing myself
when i heard the story on the news today
was thinking the same thing. nm

I was thinking the same thing.
I think he's (Tom) gone off the deep end. Very strange man.
I was thinking the same exact thing.
The kid didn't have to go to school in Korea to have been taught those same beliefs. His parents could have had that same influence over him or perhaps his own interests in it.
Obviously a person who could do something like that is very disturbed and probably had a lot of issues at home, etcetera, but the other cannot be ruled out either as playing some small role.
good one. I was thinking the same thing! sm
I would either put up with it or try exercise before I would resort to any type of surgical procedure for vanity sake. I have seen on TV programs concerning this, just how the doctors treat their patients when they are under anesthesia. NO THANKS!
I was thinking this very same thing. Definitely not worth giving the time of day to. nm

ROFL, that was good, Robin, I was thinking the same thing but.....sm
you have articulated it so much more colorfully than I ever could,what a hoot, even though it is such a sickening story. Man, did this woman EVER have any self-respect, self-esteem, to say nothing of self-discipline and brains? Total sociopath, puts the "ICK!" in SICK!!
It is next weekend...nm

weekend
Decorate graves Saturday, daughter's wedding reception Sunday, take it easy day Monday.
Weekend
Luckily I'm off weekends. We went to an early dinner with friends yesterday, and I spent the rest of the day reading for once in I don't know how many years. Also went to the mall. Today we went to church came home and one of the teenage boys in the neighorhood had an Easter egg hunt for the little kids in the neighborhood. Tonight a friend came over the we watched the latest James Bond movie. Now it's off to bed for a busy 4 days of work next week. I'm off Good Friday. I hope everyone has a good week.
What I did this weekend
I worked Sat a.m., then had hair cut - mine was looking like something could have been living in it. Then it was grocery shopping and came home, cleaned and discussed about whether or not we'd move and where to and watched a movie. Sunday got up piddled around, DH got up and we again talked about where and if we were going to move (the talks usually last about 2 - 3 hours), then we boxed up some stuff, made dinner, talked more about moving, watched a movie, talked more about moving and I went to bed exhausted as it was another weekend (this has been going on for about a year now) of not coming to decisions. It isn't really that great when the town you live in more and more people are leaving (where they went I don't know but it's local cos every once inwhile they drive by), but more and more houses are being foreclosed, we hear of families moving in with other family members, schools laying off, all libraries have shut down, crime is rising, no employment here and none anywhere else. We've done so many long distance moves and they never worked out (at least for the first couple of months). Then we listened to the bully kid next door blasting his music. DH is going through mid-life crisis I think. It was just an exhausting weekend.
Misha's weekend
I don't have much new to report about Misha, except that we did get out and go to PetsMart and she enjoyed more attention than usual from two-footed admirers of all sizes. My new prednisone dosing technique seemed to work - no crashing. She wouldn't eat out of a dog bowl, but she would suck canned food- Blue Buffalo lamb recipe - off my fingers, which was quite endearing. Sasha watched me hand-feed Misha and wouldn't touch her bowl until I had hand-fed HER 3 bites too. So I'm creating two monsters, but it felt pretty good at the time. I also got her to eat some Jumbone-type treats also, so at least she's not going to starve. :o}
Plans for the weekend?
Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend? We have no big plans...may do some clothes shopping for the kids if I feel like it.
Weekend Plans
It's my husband's birthday Saturday so we're going out to dinner with friends. It's supposed to be a hot weekend so we'll spend much of the time in the pool with our daughters. We also usually have bonfires on the weekends with the neighbors/friends and/or a cookout since the weather is so beautiful.
My weekend plan:
It's pretty self-explanatory. Buy a nice seedless watermelon, insert funnel and pour in oodles of liquor of choice...vodka, schnapps, rum, etc. (You'd be amazed at how much booze these things can drink!) Let sit overnight in your fridge if you can stand to wait that long, cut up and serve or drill holes into melon and give your best bud a straw and watch the magic happen. See you in rehab.
Attending our first this weekend sm
since I was a little girl. We live in VA but are just across the state line from WV which is where I grew up. My DD is in her first horse show there this weekend. It is about 1 1/2 away. I am a nervous wreck for her already.
Around here Labor Day weekend

Weekend coming. What is everyone doing?

Weekend Plans
Saturday we're going to the Zoo. One of the elephants is having a 40th birthday party celebration there. And Sunday the family's driving about an hour away to go visit my parents.
Just got in from Las Vegas so the weekend
should be a little less active.
Weekend plans
We're going to finish school shopping and then on Sunday we're going back to the NYS Fair to see the American Idol concert and Monday probably a cookout with our friends.
The weekend after Thanksgiving
We go out and get the tree and decorate the inside of the house.
Saw some like those at the Bass Pro this weekend nm

So, what's everybody got planned for the weekend?
I'll be working Saturday and Sunday, but I might have a few extra minutes to go to the fabric store. I'm going to try to finish a few UFOs (unfinished objects - sewing). And, I'll be stopping in here, of course. So, what's everybody else doing? 
Memorial Day weekend
So what fun things do you guys have planned for the long weekend?  
I have to work.  
So, so sad. Especially Father's Day weekend.
He will be so terribly missed, especially during the election coverage. I will remember him with the white board and writing all over it. I always enjoyed watching him. He sure knew his stuff. Way too young.
Girls weekend? I'm in....
Those are the best. A new place each time. What fun that would be!
Yep, my weekend to work...
Put in 10 hours yesterday and 8 today. Not as tired as I thought I'd be, but getting there.
What about a weekend in the mountains?
You can usually rent cabins pretty cheap and you could give them a gift card for a nearby restaurant. Usually if you let the cabin rental place know it's their anniversary they'll throw in some extras. That way they could go hiking and what not since you said they were active.
Thank you - we will be out shopping this weekend - nm

I give up. weekend yet? NM

techno weekend
Totally techno day today. Got MP3 for Vday - not fancy or anything and never really something I knew I wanted, but spent the morning downloading and LOVE IT Will mostly use when walking the dogs. Anyone have any ideas on best way to buy music? I got a Rhapsody CD with a free month. Do I need it? I actually like offbeat stuff, movie soundtracks or old stuff like Jackson Browne. Running on Empty was my first download and Christian Automobile by the Dixie Hummingbirds my second, so very eclectic taste.
Secondly, anyone attempt to use the new TV converter boxes? I apparently bought the exact opposite of what I needed (dig to analog instead of other way round) and used the $40 coupons, so that will be a fun return/refund. We have never not had cable/DISH, but my husband had a fight with a phone cust rep in another country shall we say and got mad and discontinued service. This was a month ago and after a short withdrawal period we find we love not having so many choices. Who knew?
I will not work on Thanksgiving day, but over that weekend -sm
when I choose to work. I will have 90 minutes of work to get done by Monday; so will probably just do 30 minutes each morning and still the day free for the most part. As for Christmas, I am probably have to work on Christmas day but only because I will not have had time to do my work before then. I will only take 60 minutes for that weekend but won't have much time to do it until Christmas night, so that will be interesting. I am going to try to do it Friday night/early Saturday morning of the weekend so I will not have to work Christmas night. It will make me more tired but I'd rather be tired than have to work the night I get back after driving 200 miles. But I don't have to work on the holiday. We are off when the hospital is off, which follows state mandates, so we get all the major holidays.
There is a funeral in our area this weekend for ...
a soldier killed in Iraq and just found out those wonderful people from Kansas are planning to attend. 
Maybe a day at a spa just for her and her friend, or maybe a weekend getaway for
s
My dream would be a weekend of him helping (sm)
When he and I and the kids all work on getting everything back in order. But he would be angry the whole time, as if he shouldn't have to be doing it. I may end up hiring someone. I have thought about it all day. It would be worth it!
First time in 9 years that I have a 4-day weekend...
And I plan on doing NOTHING! Happy Labor Day!
My kids homecoming is this weekend
just depends on the football schedule. They play 10 games each season and this is the next to last home game. Next one isn't until the end of October. Our first game was in August.
This past weekend my neice was
leaving school (this is her freshman year) to come home for the weekend. Her car wouldn't start. She certainly could have called her RA for suggestions or even called campus securtiy but due to no experience with something like this she caught a ride with a friend that lives in our area. Her mother and a friend took her back to school yesterday with jumper cables (turns out the battery was dead cause she had left a light on) and a few lessons about her car. They showed her how to use the cables, check air pressure in tires, check oil, washer fluid, etc. Both my kids are still home so these are things I had never thought of and obviously my SIL hadn't either. A lot of these things I still don't know. I lived with my parents until the day I married so I have always had someone to take care of these things for me. I just wanted to pass along this tip for anyone else like me that just never thought about it before. I guess we all live and learn.
Gym membership? A massage? Weekend away for
s
OMG! - we rented this last weekend and rolled
off the couch laughing - even my husband was snort laughing!! too funny!
I plan on going there this coming weekend!
I LOVE Yankee candle! I have candles from there all over my house! I haven't had a chance to check out the newer scents yet, but my all time favorite summer scents are Storm Watch, Cottage Breeze, Sand and Sun, and Midnight Cove. I'm sure there are a lot more that I love, but I just can't remember all of the names right now! I have Chocolate Chip Cookie burning in my office right now and Macintosh Apple in my living room.
Just got back from a 4-day weekend in Gatlinburg.
Chalet was great. Close enough to Pigeon Forge to go shopping or just drive through the park. Cades Cove was beautiful.
Also working all weekend and today, but...
just got back from a wonderful service at our town's war memorial garden where we dedicated a new monument to the town's fall veterans. It was very special! Now...back to work!
I'm a deer widow this weekend SO
I'm cleaning out the closets and going through my husband's drawers. I swear he has underwear that I don't know what in the world they could cover since they are so tattered!
I'd like to clean my desk and under my bed as well but that may have to wait until he's gone again next weekend.
saw Milk this weekend and everyone was bawling.
everyone in the theater was crying.
That is funny, I just bought a set this weekend - sm
the 10 piece of the Chef's Classic Stainless. It is really nice. $149 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Had a 20% off coupon so got it for $120 (and no tax in DE) as I was up visiting with my dad. Some of our T-Fal sauce pans have the teflon flaking off, cannot boil water (turns grey) or cook with them, so had to do something, a pot alone was at least $30 so I just got the set. DH loves it (he is the main cook) and used one of them last night (still in box on kitchen table). But seem to be good quality, heavy SS. Compared them to the more expensive brands and they seemed to be equal, same quality SS too, and just as thick and heavy. Lots of sales out there, I looked at B, B, and B, Target, Macy's, JC Penneys before I bought these. I also like some from Paula Dean as well. I did not want to spend over $150 for a set so I was a bit limited, but think I got a good deal and set of pots for the money.
