O/T What are your plans this weekend?

[bluebutterflies]

Linda? Rebel? Irish? Anyone? I don't have anything going, but like to read. Our public library is holding a 50% off sale on several style books. I have my eye on a few romance, cooking and mystery novels. I just started a new mystery novel; Three Shirt Deal by, Stephen J. Cannell. What are your plans?

Work. :-P I work weekends, but actually don't mind it. I'm off most of the workweek and find I get a lot more things done than fighting it out with every other person who's also off on the weekends.

[sammykat]

LLOO, is putting up her xmas decorations ? Her annual tradition.

[KaliChris]

I've got a few days off and I'm going to San Francisco to see a 49ers game on Sunday.

I'm reading Where the Heart Is right now. Very good book.

Sammy!! Yes I am! lol

In fact, I didn't do it yesterday on my B-day like I normally do, but am putting up everything today.

Toonce, I'm working as well this weekend. Wish I wasn't though!

[sammykat]

I knew it !!!!!!! & belated HBD wishes. If the weather cooperates this weekend, I am going to get rid of my wilted flowers flowers and cut some evergreens & stick them into my planters/urns.

Happy Turkey Day to all!!!!!!!!

Happy Belated Birthday, Linda Lou. I hope you enjoyed your day. My son's b-day was on the 14th.

[Irish]

I have no special plans for this weekend. My son has a b-day party to go to tomorrow so I'll probably do some shopping while he's there. Later on, do some cleaning/laundry & hopefully get some walking in. I've been putting that off. Saturday night we're having movie night. We borrowed a movie from the library.

I'm not sure yet what we're doing on Sunday.

I'm reading a "cozy" mystery called Lavender Lies by Susan Wittig Albert. It's a mystery series. I read a lot of mystery series by several authors. I get them from the library or place an order with them & they get the books from another library or they buy copies if no other branch has them.

[kitten4762]

In a word...football.

[BeckyC]

Driving from OH to WI to visit family and friends. Will be there about a week. Hope y'all have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving!!

[shaunac]

Go to the gym, walk the dog, go groceries.

Catch the Dooney shows on Saturday; even though I don't buy from QVC I still like to see the colors, styles of bags. I go to the factory store and find great deals there.

Also, reading a good book right now. I love mysteries and have read all of Patricia Cornwell's books. They are so good, but now I am looking for another good author who writes mysteries as well. Any ideas?

Sunday, gym, walk the dog, visit Grandma, go to lunch with my son, go to the gym (again) with my son, then home to relax and back to work on Monday. It goes by too quickly.

I love all of her Kay Scarpetta books but haven't read the newest hardback yet. Maybe I'll get it for Christmas.
If you like mystery/suspense, do you read Tami Hoag? I've read most of her books. I'd start with A Thin Dark Line....that's my favorite.

[Irish]

Bluebutterflies,

I just read on Amazon.com what Three Shirt Deal was about & it sounds good.

Stephen J Cannell doesn't write for TV shows anymore, right? I've seen a few of his books at the library. (I liked when they showed him typing on his typewriter & then taking out the sheet of paper & throwing it in the air. And, after that, didn't they used to say "Sit Boo-Boo, sit."?)

I was thinking that was at the end of Family Ties and that the dog's name was Ubu (??). I could be wrong though....

Yes, that's it - UBU, not Boo-Boo.

I know! Kay, Marino, Benton! I love them all, but am bummed because I've read them all and have to wait until she writes another. I prefer her Scarpetta books over the others without these characters. Thanks for the tip. I will definitely check Tami Hoag out.

Hi Irish... I was born and raised in the Madison area.

[Rebel_Mom]

Butterflies, it is a good thing there isn't a book sale like that around me tomorrow or I would be totally blowing off my food shopping plans. I always get my Thanksgiving food in during this weekend so I don't have to go near a grocery store with all the crazies next week. Saturday is a trip to Whole Foods with the daughter (who is an employee and gets a 20% discount) for produce and some staples that I love from there, then a trip to the Stop & Shop (my usual grocery store) and finally on Sunday, it is down to Stew Leonard's (a really neat local chain in CT) for an antibiotic free fresh turkey! I go with lists and I still end up forgetting something! All in all, I think I enjoy the preparation ritual as much as the meal.

[Linda Lou]

Thanks to Sammy and Irish for the B-day wishes.

It was a nice one. I had a big ol' piece of chocolate cake, after a wonderful dinner out! One of the reasons I didn't do my usual decorating............too full!!! lol

[Acura]

We are going to see Kenny G tomorrow, he is performing in Miss.

We are heading to Tx. next Saturday. We are going on a 7 day cruise. I've spent most of the day washing and ironing. I'm really looking forward to going.

[kitten4762]

A cruise...I'm jealous. I will be stuck here 'til the Spring thaw I think. I'm trying to talk my husband into us going to Mardi Gras this year. Got my fingers crossed.

[KaliChris]

Yes, Stephen J.Cannell is the writer for the A-Team, Rockford Files and several shows. I'm just on the first chapter of Three Shirt Deal, but loving it so far! Well, I have to think about heading to the library for the 6 a.m. sale! Have a good weekend.

Sounds like a enjoyable weekend spending it with your daughter! I'm sure you are an excellent cook. I'm really interested in finding some good cookbooks at the library sale. I don't cook much, but enjoy fixing Mexican and Southwest! I live in Austin, TX and we do alot of deep fried turkey cooking. I've been invited over to a co-workers for Thanksgiving & plan on bringing the dessert. Pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie ingredients are on my grocery list. Boy, I'm making myself hungry! Have a good weekend.

Hey Linda, hope you have a super-duper birthday!!

[Rebel_Mom]

Happy Birthday to Linda Lou! I hope you had a wonderful time and the cake sounds delicious.

Butterflies, I like to cook when I don't have to do it. The fun of the holidays to me (I think this is because I am Italian) is all about the food traditions. The cool thing is that I have totally brainwashed my kids - they only want the traditional dishes the way I make them every year. Good luck on your cookbook hunt - I love Mexican food also and am always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes.

The weekend was great, but next weekend is sure to be much better. We are going to see Kathy Griffin on Friday and Cirque Du Soleil on Saturday. I booked Cirque back in February and then found out that Kathy Griffin would be in town for just one show, thus the back to back nights. We're gonna have so much fun--dinner, a show and a lot of fun.
