Happy Friday!

I don't know why I'm so happy it's Friday, but I woke up smiling and relieved the week was almost over with. We have a typically busy schedule this weekend: 2 soccer games, a birthday party for one of the kidlets to attend, first swim team practice of the season. Maybe it's because I'm finally going to get to go climbing. I haven't climbed in what feels like forever. Okay, it's only been a few weeks, but I've missed it so much. I want to get on the wall. I want to see how my hands do. I want to catch up with my climbing partner!

On the writing front, I've been re-reading my page proofs for my June 2009 release. All they need is to be typed in and emailed. I've been writing new pages on the current story I'm writing. And I've been critiquing my critique partners current work in progress that's due in a couple of weeks! I'm also trying to get my website updated with my new release that's coming out in a month. I'm so bad with promotion usually, but I'm really behind with this book and need to kick it up a step! Especially since I thought it was a December release, not a November one.

What plans do you have for the weekend? I'll be doing all of the above!

Melissa, you exhausted me just reading all you've got planned for the weekend. :) We have an amazingly blank weekend ahead. Which is how I planned this fall. All the kid stuff takes place during the week, which makes all our m-f afternoons very busy, but the weekends are blissfully clear. Hope your climbing is splendid!

Girl, you're one busy person.

I'm not doing much but who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Have fun with your climbing and have a great weekend!

Have a great Friday, Melissa.

I have about ten weeks of stuff to do in three days. Inlaws arrive tomorrow. Guess I only have one day.

Dang.

Brandy said...

Wow, you're going to be quite busy! Good luck with everything! I hope you're able to climb soon!

No plans here except the regular things for the weekend.

I hope you have a great day!

I think it's great that you have such passion about your climbing.
A bunch of us are going to the night at the races at one of our local American Legions.I've not done it before but it sounds like fun. You have to name your horse and mine will be I Dream of Jeannie (my real name is Jeanne). My daughter is April Showers (April) and her husband is O' Danny Boy (Dan) lol.

Don't have any plans yet, but hopefully we'll do something fun during the three day weekend.

I am really glad it is friday, I had major exmas today and so I can relax all week-end!

Virginia said...

I don't see how you keep up with it all Melissa. My plans for the weekend is to clean the house and do the laundry.

Melissa said...

Usually we wouldn't have both soccer and swimming. They overlap this year for a couple of weeks for some reason! But I got my page proofs off and will have the critique off as soon as I get a couple more pages of my book!

The good thing is hubby won't have any conference calls to deal with so I won't be handling all this alone. And two of the games are at the same time which means we won't be out there all day!

Happy Friday/weekend to everyone! Unfortunately I have to miss a friend's wedding, as I'm stuck home and then must/will try to play catch up. Ah well.

Goodness, Melissa! So many things to do in such a short amount of time! Wow!

I think I need a nap.

This weekend I'll be picking carrots and parsnips. Then, making applesauce and apple butter.

Then, settling in to read. Or begin my Christmas crafts.

Uh oh. No time for that nap!!

Hope you have a great weekend. :)
