I’m so excited for another long weekend! I plan to spend the weekend away from my television and away from all the inauguration hype. At some point, though, I’m going to have to take down our Christmas decorations. I’ve been away from home every weekend since Christmas and every time I pass our Christmas tree I just have to try to ignore it. I did take some decent pictures of the tree with my Canon Rebel, so I’m going to have to put some of them on the blog before the tree comes down. Am I the only one that made it to January 16 with a Christmas tree still up?
Over the course of this long weekend, Todd and I will see the following movies. We’ve got four nights to do it and I’m determined!
Okay, so maybe Todd won’t agree to Bride Wars, but I’ll see it without him.
One of my favorite mommy mentors offered to take me to Babies “R” Us this weekend to show me the ropes. I have no intentions of registering for a thing until I know if we’re having a boy or a girl. I am just so excited that somebody is going to take me to that superstore and help me so I don’t get too lost. I’ve never even set foot in a Babies “R” Us, so I’m sure there would be plenty of things that I’d be unsure of.
How do all of you plan on spending the long weekend? Any big plans?
I so glad you are going with a Mommy mentor to Babies R Us! That place can definitely be overwhelming. I really want to go see Bride Wars! I have heard all good things about it. We will probably just be relaxing and taking it easy this weekend, but I do have some homework already. Yuck! Didn’t mean to ramble! Have a great time this weekend!!
Unfortunately it’s not a long weekend for us (Lee will be working Saturday + Monday) but we do plan on seeing Gran Torino tomorrow before he goes in. It’s been on his list for awhile now and I’ve heard it’s good so we’re trying to squeeze that in. I’d love to see Bride Wars but think I’ll have to save that for a time when I’m alone or can round up a friend (this is another time I wish we lived closer to each other!)
The rest of the weekend will be spent cleaning the house. While our tree has been down since Jan. 1 (we get a real tree), I just yesterday finished getting all the decorations wrapped and back in their storage bins. Sunday includes football playoffs and I’m pretty sure there’s a UNC basketball game in there somewhere.
Hope you have a FANTASTIC weekend and I can’t wait to see your tree photos and hear ALL about that great list of movies!
Have a great long weekend! You’ll have to catch me up on how all the movies were on Tuesday at our lunch date! Can’t wait to see you and Cat 🙂
Benjamin Button was incredibleeee.
I’m seeing Bride Wars this weekend. We’ll see how it goes. Then again who can put down a chick flick? 🙂
I loved Benjamin Button. I want to read the Reader before I go see it. I heard its great. I also want to read Revolutionary Rd before I go see it too. I’m a big “reader” before I see it, even though I’m usually let down by the movie, I don’t care.
Enjoy your weekend.
Oooh lots of movies this weekend! That will be fun 🙂
Don’t worry, you’re not alone on the Christmas tree.. my fiance and I just took ours down yesterday!
Great movie list – I’ll add Revolutionary Road to it! Enjoy your long weekend!
What a great list of movies!! We’re waiting for doubt to come out on DVD but we plan on seeing Gran Torino this weekend!
And i went to Babies “R” Us a few weeks ago to pick up a gift for a friend for my first ever baby shower and boy was it an experience for me! I am glad someone will be there to show you the ropes!!!
I want to see a bunch of those movies — my husband really wants to see Gran Torino (Bride Wars? Not so much). Have fun at babies R Us, try not to get overwhelmed (that store overwhelms me).
Have a fun time at BRU. It is overwhelming at first. You’ll be surprised at how many trips you’ll actually make there! Best of luck!
How nice of her!! That is going to be so much easier for you to have a coach in that store! Its so overwhelming!!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! TGIF!
I hope you have fun this weekend. My weekend will not be as exciting as your my husband works all weekend, but at least I can sleep in
I did the same thing with two of my friends when I was Preggers! It helped SO much! Seeing as I had never held a baby much less changed a diaper at that time!
I saw Bride Wars last night and it was great! I laughed and cried! I want to see the rest of those movies too!
I am seeing Bride Wars on Saturday on a Girls Night Out!1 I really really want to see Benjamin Button but I heard that it is over 3 hours and unfortunately my attention span isnt that long! haha. Have a wonderful weekend!!
Oh I am coming to Spartanburg next Thurs for work. Is that far from you?
I want to see Doubt so bad!!! Let us know how it is!!
Movies sound like a great idea for avoiding the cold weather this weekend! There are so many I want to see, I don’t know how I’d choose! Let us know how you like whichever you see!
I want to see every one of those movies 🙂 And I can’t wait!! 🙂 Babies-r-us! Awwww how sweet! that will be fun at least to check out what all they have 🙂 yay!
Enjoy your weekend girl and let that tree stay up one more weekend 🙂 ha! hugs
I want to see Bride Wars SO bad – looks really cute. I however, do NOT have a long weekend but wish I did. Have fun and enjoy the extra day off!
Have fun during the “movie weekend!” My husband and I are going to see Gran Torino tonight! To note – Benjamin Button is extremely long and wasn’t as good as the “hype” leading up to it though Brad Pitt was wonderful.
Sounds like you have a great weekend planned! Have fun!
Sounds like a fun weekend! I love movies and want to see all of those too! Probably going to have to wait until DVD. One thing that’s hard to do once you have kiddies is go to the movies!
Glad you’re taking someone with you to BRU – that’s smart and I always tell people to do that. I’ve been with a couple of my friends lately that are having their first to tell them what they really need and what is just crap that is going to take up space and cost you money you could use somewhere else.
When I was pregnant, my SIL took me to BRU to show me things that were helpful or a waste of money. It was so nice to have someone help. Since having Ashley, I have done the same things with my friends that are preggo for the first time.
It is very exciting – HAVE FUN!!!
What a fun weekend! Me and the Beau are seeing Grand Torino tonight after a fabulous dinner! I love date nights!! Have fun in Babys R Us!! That’s great that you are going to have some help 🙂
Have a WONDERFUL Weekend!!!
No – I am embarrased to say that we are still taking decor down, preggos like us have an excuse though =)! Good thing you have a mentor, it is very overwhelming!!
We are seeing Bride Wars tonight! Enjoy your weekend!!
Curious Case and Bride wars are AWESOME!! Loved them.
And I’m dying to see The Reader (and Revolutionary Road).
I have to work tonight, but tomorrow I’m going with my sister (MOH) and mom to go check out flowers for the wedding! woo hoo!
Thank goodness, I’m finally going to have a mini spa day tomorrow. Sunday I’m going to the launch party for Southern Weddings–was hoping to see you there and introduce myself. I would love to know who your florist was for your wedding. It wasn’t Greg Foster by any chance was it?
I am SO glad that I’m not the only one whose Christmas tree is still up 🙂 With our vacation, we’ve had no time to do anything around the house. I’m planning to tackle the cleaning and “un-decorating” tomorrow, and I’ve already wrangled a promise out of Chris that he will help 🙂
Have fun seeing the movies!
Bride Wars was sooo cute!!! We are going to see Gran Torino this weekend too! TG for the LONG WEEKEND! I love being a state employee!
Our tree is still up too. And I have definitely plugged it in every night since we returned home from the holidays. But, I am planning to take it down before we have visitors this weekend!
I love the baby bump addition! I'm hoping to see Bride Wars too this weekend.
Good luck at Babies R Us this weekend – I'm sure that could be overwhelming but fun. (oh, and my pregnant sis just found out that buybuybaby takes bed bath & beyond coupons! who knew?)
I want to see Bride Wars, too! I did see Benjamin Button and I totally recommend it!
Have fun with the movie weekend. Benjamin Button is amazing! Nick and I got to see it Christmas day in NYC and I was enthralled.
Oh I am oh so jealous of your weekend ahead!
We want a full movie-review when you are done watching them all!!!!
My tree is still up! No shame there! =)
Enjoy your long weekend…..I’m dying to see a few of those movies! Let us know if they are any good!

You’ll love Benjamin Button– it was SO, SO great!

I absolutely loved Benjamin Button and Bride Wars. I thought Phillip Seymour Hoffman was amazing in Doubt!
