Labor Day Plans Anyone?

[Snowflake]

With the Bay Bridge being closed for the weekend, I'm not leaving SF for the duration. I'm all prepared though, for good eating using my newly acquired DeLonghi Indoor Grill, turkey burgers and/or grilled shrimp, whatever I can put on it. The closest I can get to grilling on a weber indoors, it will have to do.

I've got laundry and a laundry list of things to do, nothing really swanky, sorry to say. I may hit the DeYoung or SF MOMA (which has the Frida Kahlo exhibit coming next year, count me as being very excited over that). I'd like to maybe go to the Steinhart so I can test out the acquarium function on my camera. But a holiday weekend, prolly not that!

Anyone else have cool things planned for the long weekend.

[Ponine]

I'm headed out for Vegas tomorrow night to spend the weekend at a friends home who is having a Housewarming party.

And i am in one of the worst depression funks ever on top of it... great.

Six hours of driving... I should be nice and obsessive when I am done.

I want to stop at the outlet mall this time. Maybe indulge in some therapy shopping.

But I will be visiting my best friend, and his partner, and that alone should help. (and their dogs)

[BarTopDancer]

Homework, homework and more homework. Just got my books and the first week of school is already in full swing. Thankfully most of my friends are out of town this weekend so I won't be tempted with evil plans.

Oh and sleeping in. And I'll probably BBQ with my roommate.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I will have worked 12 days in a row come Saturday, so I plan on sleeping!

[Chernabog]

I'm staying in town but I have a DATE on Friday, yay! It is with this guy who is short and wears glasses and is really nerdycute :) You know the type? We're going to dinner and a movie at the Arclight.

Saturday nite I am going with Morrigoon to the Hollywood Bowl (lol we got 5 concerts this summer, not including Pink Martini). Tchaikovsky with fireworks.

Sunday I'm taking my mom out for brunch (to get her away from my dad to let him rest) and then visiting my cousin and playing the ps3 :)

Monday..... there's a small small chance I might buy my annual pass that day but.... it doesn't look likely. I was just talking to Cheese Man last nite about how much I DON'T miss Disneyland, which is odd. No withdrawals whatsoever. Happiness at all the free Sundays to go to the gym and do other productive things. Go fig!

[wolfy999]

You may not miss Disneyland....but Disneyland misses you!

[Gemini Cricket]

Why did I read this thread title as "Labor Pains Anyone?"
:D

[SacTown Chronic]

Crystal's parents are coming to town tomorrow night so I'll probably kick off the weekend by getting blotto. Look for the drunk posts, kids.

[katiesue]

We're off for a weekend at the Disneyland Resort. Drive up tomorrow night, staying at DLH. Fun in the parks Saturday. 5K Sunday and then brunch at Goofys. Drive home sometime Sunday and then Monday's all MINE MINE MINE.

If anyone needs some pool time at the Disneyalnd Hotel Saturday or Sunday give us a call.

[Gemini Cricket]

Oooh. I've never been in their new Peter Pan pool.
:)

[Snowflake]

Oooh. I've never been in their new Peter Pan pool.
:)


If this were not at DL........ makes me laugh! GC at the Peter Pan Pool! Any Pool Boys?
;)

[BarTopDancer]

Oooo Pool time!

Hummm.

[Chernabog]

You may not miss Disneyland....but Disneyland misses you!

Awwww well I just booked my room for Gay Days :)

[Gemini Cricket]

Awwww well I just booked my room for Gay Days :)
And what a busy room that's going to be...
:D

[Tref]

I was invited to go swimming on Saturday, so I am looking forward to that, but otherwise, I think I will be just staying in and out of the heat.

[Stan4dSteph]

I will be flying from Frankfurt to London.

[katiesue]

I will be flying from Frankfurt to London.


Steph wins :D

[Chernabog]

And what a busy room that's going to be...
:D

Hahah Nick and I have slept together platonically before, so if that WAS gonna happen, it woulda, and it ain't. :P

[Gemini Cricket]

Hahah Nick and I have slept together platonically before, so if that WAS gonna happen, it woulda, and it ain't. :P
And like you say, you have so many men. :D
I'm jest kiddin' witcha.
:D


I'm going to be spending one day this weekend helping my friend move into the house next door that he just bought.
Should be fun. Not. :)

[Prudence]

I will be making a final edit on about 225 of my 320 clerkship applications. Because I like prolonging the pointless. May take breaks from that to continue painting the powder room, since I do want to finish that some day.

[Brigitte]

I took tomorrow off to make it a 4 day weekend. My in-laws (and I mean *all* of them) are coming here for the weekend. Usually we all go camping somewhere together, but Robb has to work this year on Fri and Sat, so his family are all coming here instead. They are setting up camp in my backyard tomorrow. There will be 14 of us all together. No idea what we'll do Saturday, but Sunday we're all going to Silverwood.

[Capt Jack]

my plans...

sweat. and lots of it
should be awesome :rolleyes:

[AllyOops!]

My Dad's house for dinner on Saturday (although we'll spend most of the day there! Thankfully, he has a beach house and that means much cooler weather!!)

Sunday? A Pool Party & BBQ with friends. Rumor has it the most fun part of this party is the roasting of marshmallows & convo that takes place around the firepit. I'm thinkin' nobody will be thinkin' toasty fire this year. :(

Monday? BBQ with family. Always a good time!

The weekend is packed with fun & excitement! :) I bet I'll try to pack in laziness, too, because I excel at that. I'll be staying with my boyfriend, and he likes to sleep in. However, because I wake up & begin work so early, sleeping in for me is usually 6:45 a.m. or 7:00 if I'm lucky!

[Gemini Cricket]

What three letters spell happiness? BBQ
:)

[Morrigoon]

Other than the Bowl I have nothing specfic on my calendar. USC's football season starts the same day, so I'll probably see some of the game before heading to the Bowl, unless it's a late game. To be honest I haven't checked the time on it. I suppose if I was a smart Goonie, I'd have volunteered at a picnic before the game to do some networking and then skip the game and head to the HB. Or something. There's time yet, eh?

Alex and I were hoping to head to Vegas, but can't find anyone to watch Barnum. Alex is still thinking of going, but even alone he thinks it unlikely, since he wouldn't go till early Sunday and he refuses to drive in traffic so he'd have to turn around and come home butt-early Monday. I tried to tell him he could wait till after 7 and come home late but he doesn't buy it. Whatever, I only lived there...

[Kevy Baby]

I'm off to war

[Morrigoon]

?

Why do I get the feeling, knowing Kevy, that "off to war" means he's headed to something involving actual clashing swords and not just off to deal with a tough situation.

[Prudence]

Since he's presumably not coming up here to Antir's September Crown, I assume it's something like Potrero War.

Damn I miss eventing. :(

[Mousey Girl]

I will be cleaning out a couple of closets. I will also be missing The Boy.

[Kevy Baby]

?

Why do I get the feeling, knowing Kevy, that "off to war" means he's headed to something involving actual clashing swords and not just off to deal with a tough situation.You would be correct

Since he's presumably not coming up here to Antir's September Crown, I assume it's something like Potrero War.

Damn I miss eventing. :(Imperial War actually. A small Adrian Empire event. Potrero is over Memorial Day. I don't go to fight, I go to get drunk.

[wolfy999]

Sounds like fun Kevy!

I've been babysitting a zoo for the last two weeks, but the Zookeeper is returning home tomorrow. Now I won't have to plan my days around the animals! Think I'll try and do something animaless......

[madmonkeygirl]

I get to work all weekend. I had put in for Sunday off but my boss never told me a yes or no (this was 4 weeks ago)so the new schedule went out and i work all day. More money for the concert fund. But i will be getting Sundays off from now on in a few weeks i hope.

[mousepod]

Drive. Stop. Unpack...

[madmonkeygirl]

Cindy lmao i would so watch Barnum i'd bring him to work with me tehehehehe he's such a doll. If you ever need a sitter bring him by i'm sure if Matt i need to run it by him wouldn't mind and even if he did mind i don't care lmao...what's another doggie to watch

[lindyhop]

I'm always so time crunched that I can only think of a three-day weekend as an opportunity to get some things done at home. I'm sure it's going to be too hot at home though so I'm not sure what I'll attempt. I only have three (or is it four?) crochet projects going and I should learn to use my new printer.

My usual Saturday night dance venue is dark this week so I'm considering heading to DL instead. But the band is not one of my favorites and I don't know if anyone I know will be there. But Peter is always there to dance with and I'm incapable of staying at home.

[BarTopDancer]

Add apartment hunt to the list.

Anyone have a backyard I can just camp in?

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Heading to the mountains.

"Going to the mountains is going home." - John Muir

[Morrigoon]

BTD: damn, and I just thought of you the other day when I saw a condo lease that looked good, but I deleted the email. :(

Rose: funny thing I'm back to trying to figure out who can watch him... Alex and I both really wanna go to Vegas even though it's a short trip, but alas you're a bit far away :/

So uh... who wants to puppysit? (pleeeeeeeease?) Hey Cherny, I don't suppose you could use a crash pad Sunday night, couldja?

[CoasterMatt]

I'm sleeping Saturday, watching Dead Alive Saturday night, sleeping Sunday...

Monday is the last hell day of the summer :)

[BarTopDancer]

BTD: damn, and I just thought of you the other day when I saw a condo lease that looked good, but I deleted the email. :(

My co-workers husband is an agent and he is looking for me - but if you see anything please pass it on.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I'm planing a drive-by.

Homies on the next block aren't respectin' - know what'm sayin????

[wendybeth]

Lol, Bornieo!

Sactown, I am probably going to be doing the same- PWP.* We'll just have a little party here at the LoT- I'll bring the tequila.


*Posting while pasted.

[cirquelover]

I have a busy weekend planned for me. Saturday is football, U of O's first game of the season. Then after the game we fight traffic to go to the state fair to see Daughtry. Sunday is supposed to be family bbq but Dad just informed me they are cooking a turkey in the oven, blech! The only reason I'm going at all is because I have to hand my son over to my brother. On Monday I get to go to Vegas with Gary!! He's spent 8 weeks there this summer and finally I get to join him!!
Now I just have to pack everyone and get ready! I guess I should start planning what to do during the week while he's working. I've never wandered Vegas alone.

[AllyOops!]

I'm planing a drive-by.

Homies on the next block aren't respectin' - know what'm sayin????

Me & my OG's will be waitin & deliberatin' for you, B. I be shawty crunkin' at a cookout with my Glock straight ready, aiiight mah nizzle doggy fizzle?

:p (It 's heartbreaking to me that I just typed that. No, really.)

Okay, so I'll be white breadin' at a Simi Valley cookout. I'll just pretend it's Crenshaw for street cred. :D

[Chernabog]

So uh... who wants to puppysit? (pleeeeeeeease?) Hey Cherny, I don't suppose you could use a crash pad Sunday night, couldja?

Ack!!! I promised my cousin I'd help her set up her Ps3 and make a best buy run on Sunday nite since she broke her ankle and is immobile.

Hey so say you were going on a first date, should you NOT see a serious movie?

I want to see Death at a Funeral (a comedy) and he wants to see Sunshine (a drama about a suicide mission into the sun, lol).... is that a sign?

[SacTown Chronic]

Sounds good, wendybeth. I'll bring the construda.




(The in-laws will be drinking Bud from a can -- at their insistence!)

[Morrigoon]

Bugger.

Looks like my big client won't be in town, so the way is pretty much cleared for us to go (we even went so far as to look into the hotel deals available). Sadako's going to be in town as well, so we might meet up with her for a bit.

[Ponine]

I'm still leaving for Vegas, and for all those who chimed in, my funk is seemingly past.
But I may still have to shop to relieve stress.

[wendybeth]

Sounds good, wendybeth. I'll bring the construda.




(The in-laws will be drinking Bud from a can -- at their insistence!)


Bud from a can? I stopped drinking that pisswater in second grade.;)

[SacTown Chronic]

I hear that.

[3894]

It's brews, brats, and bands up here!

Did I tell you a microbrewery named an ale after my beagle? I did? Well, I'm telling you again, then.

[Capt Jack]

Bud from a can? I stopped drinking that pisswater in second grade.;)

ditto...and I still have the headache it gave me

[SacTown Chronic]

The in-laws have been detained and won't be here until tomorrow morning. Good thing we started without them.



And no, we did not, and will not, touch their precious Bud-in-a-can.

[CoasterMatt]

I was planning on sleeping Sunday, but that's been changed - I'll be working, a crazy 30,000+ attendance day :D


(but there's double pay on Monday to help take away the sting)

[katiesue]

We made it in around an hour an a half. Traffic didn't totally suck. Whooo hoo.

[wendybeth]

I have to work tomorrow, so the Labor Day Tequilathon won't commence until around 7:00-ish. So, who all pledges to post drunk tomorrow?:D

[CoasterMatt]

I'll post sleep deprived, is that ok, too?

[wendybeth]

I'll post sleep deprived, is that ok, too?

Sounds promising. CM on an anti-sleep bender is worth at least three tequila drunks, and as many as five bud-in-a-canners.:snap:

[Prudence]

What about disgruntled? Because I plan to be disgruntled most of the weekend.

[wendybeth]

Okay, but no drinking for you, because disgruntled and drunk= Ann Rule fodder.;)

[Tref]

Its hot. Its Africa hot. I'm staying in.

[lindyhop]

Its hot. Its Africa hot. I'm staying in.

It's Sahara hot. Inside. At night. The fans just blow the heat around.:(

[CoasterMatt]

It's beautiful here, behind deep purple curtains that blockout all the icky hot.
Bad movies all day - Krull, The Funhouse formed the morning block.
Sweet yummy, air conditioning.

[Capt Jack]

Sweet yummy, air conditioning.

dont get me wrong, I love all you guys....but I hate you. truly

(;) )

we now return to your regularly scheduled sweating already in progress

[CoasterMatt]

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!

I'm working tomorrow (originally because madmonkeygirl was gonna be working tomorrow), and now she calls and says she's not working tomorrow!

I can't call out sick (holiday weekend sick call = whole lotta bad)

:mad:

[€uroMeinke]

Disneyland, sleep, air conditioning, dinner with friends - hey, it's almost over!

[madmonkeygirl]

CM's workin hard i guess. At last minute my boss goes "i almost forgot to give you Sunday Monday off from work" grrrr after putting in like a month ahead of time and everything so CM was working with the holiday weekend he couldn't get it off anyways but no worries. I love having the holidays off i'd rather work regular weekends nights not that i mind to have holidays off. With this heat although yesterday Universal beat Disneyland anyways. I had plenty of rides and water and getting soaked and staying cool :) Plus ending the day eating at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank :) Just enjoying the actual Labor Day and got news that i'm an aunt yet again :) My neice was born this morning around 8am :)

[wendybeth]

Congrats, Auntie!:snap:

[katiesue]

I'm hanging out in my lovely air conditioned apartment watching bad tv and nursing my blistered feet (splash mountain water in your tennies on a hot day means ugly blisters). I plan to stay indoors all day.

[Capt Jack]

We survived the 5K

how'd it go?

[alphabassettgrrl]

I rode several miles at Sycamore Canyon (trail ride). Got heat exhaustion again. Stupid heat. But tonight I have a yummy margarita. :)

[CoasterMatt]

I took more WaterWorld pictures (http://picasaweb.google.com/CoasterMatt/WaterWorld)after work today.

[RStar]

Cool Picks! I like that girl by the name of "Helen Rocks"! ;)

[RStar]

I rode several miles at Sycamore Canyon (trail ride). Got heat exhaustion again. Stupid heat. But tonight I have a yummy margarita. :)

And you traded your heat exhaustion for brain freeze!:cheers: Cool! :D

[alphabassettgrrl]

It's one way to feel better and cooler, right? :)

[Prudence]

I have spent all freaking day wrestling with the online clerkship application system. Damn thing is soooooooo slow, and since tomorrow's the deadline it's now even slower. I mean, I'm glad I have something good to add to my resume/cover letters, but seriously this has eaten up all my damn time. You can only upload 25 cover letters at a time, then you have to attach them and delete them and upload the next batch. It takes some 20 minutes to delete them, though. And generally it times out and you have to wait until you can get through to log in again. HATING this.

[Kevy Baby]

I can't believe I was camping this weekend. With the exception of the company, it totally sucked!

[Prudence]

I was going to kvetch about my weekend and how onerous it was and how I hated every moment and how I was up until 2:30 am this morning wrestling with the online application system....

But now I don't care. :D

[Kevy Baby]

It's brews, brats, and bands up here!Were you able to send the brats to their room so you could enjoy your brots?

[RStar]

I'm not sure. I don't plan 363 days in advance.....

;)

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Were you able to send the brats to their room so you could enjoy your brots?

I imagine she enjoyed both brats and brats (what in the world are brots, though?)

[Kevy Baby]

I imagine she enjoyed both brats and brats (what in the world are brots, though?)Just trying to differentiate between brats (obnoxious children) and bratwurst sausages ("brots").

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Can't a girl pick on misspelled slang now and then? OK, I'm a pedant, I know... :D

[BarTopDancer]

Is it time for another 3-day weekend yet?

[Morrigoon]

If it isn't, it should be.

[katiesue]

Why do 4 day weeks seem a million times longer than 5 day weeks?

[SacTown Chronic]

Just trying to differentiate between brats (obnoxious children) and bratwurst sausages ("brots").The difference is obvious: obnoxious children require longer grilling times.

[Capt Jack]

Why do 4 day weeks seem a million times longer than 5 day weeks?

because its still 5 days worth of work. its just all crammed into a 4 days now therefore increasing the overall "ugh...work sux" factor in each remainder day. now, a general increase in the 'ugh' factor of any particular day creates a geometric increase in the overall 'ugh' density each following day contains, thereby increasing the 'ugh' factor 2x the first day, 4x the next etc etc

this doesnt even address the same effect multiplied by the coworker variable. each of which adds their own increased 'twit' effect to the overall 'ugh' increase when they in fact try to shed those free radical 'ugh's to you, thus further increasing your discomfort.

basically it comes down to 'no good day goes unpunished'

:D

makes perfect nonsense, doesnt it?

(wow..I need more caffine)

[katiesue]

:)

[Kevy Baby]

Can't a girl pick on misspelled slang now and then? OK, I'm a pedant, I know... :DActually, I fault you not.

When I first read the original "brat", I read it not as shorthand for bratwurst, but as "incorrigible child". I did a lousy job of trying to express my own ineptitude.
