Happy Friday, everyone!

[ThomCat]

Here, have a cookie. They're good. And you've earned one. It's been a long week.

What kind of cool weekend you're going to have? :)

(Even those of you I don't often talk to, or sometimes don't get along with very well, I hope you have a good weekend.)

[redqueen]

1. AWWWWWWWW!

A bunny sneaking a cookie! :loveya:

I wish I had a cookie...

I'm going to have a lying-around-in-my-pajamas weekend. I'm sick.


How about you?

[ThomCat]

4. I will probably come into the office.

:(

Unless my friend Jen and her two boys kidnap me to play Magic: The Addiction again. :7

[redqueen]

6. Bleah.

I hope it's the games and not the office. During weekends offices are especially unpleasnt, stifley places. :P

Unless you have music! Music makes it all right. I hope that if you do go in you'll have music. :)

[ThomCat]

8. I have 3 days worth of music on my computer,

and Internet radio with a OC-3 Pipe to the internet. I will never run out of music! :P

[fizzgig]

2. happy friday, thom

you're right about it being a long week. i don't have anything planned at this point, but i am going to try to talk my dad into taking me to a pinball arcade for an afternoon. i love pinball :D

[ThomCat]

5. There are still pinball arcades?

That is really cool!

If you go, can you take a picture or two to post? :hug:

[fizzgig]

33. this one is about an hour away

and the only one of which i am aware...and there's an old-school video game arcade around the corner :D

i will definitely take pics

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

3. Thanks!

It has been a long week.

After tonight ~ I'll be on_the_road_again.

:hi::loveya:

[ThomCat]

7. I wish you a very pleasant and uneventful trip home,

and a nice pleasant rest when you get there. :hug:

I am so glad that this whirlwind trip went well! Even those of us who couldn't participate have had a good time experiencing it vicariously through posts. :P

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

36. Uneventful is a good thing sometimes.

I used to use that very word to describe safe travels.

I will say (thanks to my traveling companion and the many gracious DU host) this has been my most enjoyable DU road_trip.

[IndianaJones]

9. I'll be keepin' it real. Maybe a little scouting. nt.

[ThomCat]

12. You work with the boy scouts?

Some of my friends are involved in scouting here in NYC. I never was, because of their discriminatory positions, but my friends do good work with the kids. :shrug:

[IndianaJones]

15. Not BSA, scouting for ideal places to place arrows in deer.

I share your attitude toward BSA.

[ThomCat]

18. I hope it turns into some very pleasant hikes and walks in the park.

No offense intended, but I hope the deer successfully evade you all weekend. :)

[IndianaJones]

22. I can assure you that you will be happy with my success.

I have never taken a deer with a bow, and do not see it happening in the near future. It ends up being a nature watching expedition, where I have seen a variety of animals, and even a few deer, that always seem to stay just out of my comfortable range.

[ThomCat]

25. Walking in the woods is what I miss most

since I became disabled. I grew up in the woods and swamp of upstate NY. :(

Beautiful places up there...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. lisa's sister is coming over for brunch tomorrow

i really need to study. so much to do, so little time.

[ThomCat]

14. I hope you can concentrate

and get a lot of effective study time in. :hug:

Please say high to Lisa and give her a hug from me. I miss both of you. It's been a while.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. i cant wait to see you either. i ust dont have time to breath.

i eat vegetarian lunches these days and think of you though.

thats gotta count for something right?

[ThomCat]

19. Absolutely!

I can't wait until the end of the semester when you have time to breath. :loveya:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. i hope you have a low pain weekend.

[ThomCat]

26. Ha! As if that's an option anymore.

:P

I'll do my best though. I promise!

[VenusRising]

11. Happy Friday, honey!

I'm sure this weekend will entail unpacking some more boxes. (I hate my crap! x()

Not really. It's just a side-effect of moving. I'll love it when I have everything where I want it. :bounce:


I had to stop playing that Magic: The Addiction game. We ended up with the computer version which has all the cards. So much less of an investment, and just as much fun.


Have a wonderful weekend! :hug::loveya:

[ThomCat]

17. Is the software

something that you have to play online, or is it a stand-alone game against the computer?

The boys are too young to be allowed on the internet unsupervised, but if it works as a stand-alone game, and if you say it's petty good, then I might buy it for them as a gift. :)

I hope your unpacking goes well. Have some fun too! :hug:

[VenusRising]

27. It's a stand alone game.

It's supposed to be colder at night this weekend, so we'll have a fire in the fireplace. I bought marshmallows!! :bounce:

Check your PMs!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear ThomCat!

Happy Friday to you too, sweetie!

My weekend promises to be busy...

Tomorrow is my younger daughter's baby shower, and I am up to my eyeballs in helping plan the party!

Her second son is due Nov 11th!

Thanks for the cookie! They look soooooooo yummy!

:hug:

[ThomCat]

23. I hope you have a great time at the shower.

Some people organize that stuff and never get around to enjoying the party. And, of course, we've all heard horror stories about events you couldn't posibly enjoy because this person and that person were both invited...

I hope your daughter's shower is nothing like that. I hope it's light, and fun, and friendly, and there's a lot of laughing! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. This will be a wonderful party!

We all get along fabulously...

There will be a lot of laughter, believe me...

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

[Inchworm]

20. Have a good weekend yourself!

And thanks for the cookie :)

:hi:

[ThomCat]

28. You're very welcome!

I can't do any real baking anymore. I used to go kind of nuts baking hundreds of cookies and bringing them into the office to share with everyone. I was kind of famous for my cookies around here.

Now virtual cookies will have to do. :P

[BarenakedLady]

24. Happy Friday!

:hug:

It has been a long week. I hope this weekend is uneventful. Though I was just informed that there will be two extra kids overnight tomorrow. They are good kids, so it shouldn't be too bad.

[ThomCat]

34. I never had kids.

The logistics never worked out, though I am very good with kids and always wanted to be a parent. I hope you have a wonderful time this weekend. I'll be a bit envious. :hug:

[lost-in-nj]

29. Happy Friday

no plans.....

not yet anyway...
might go with my daughter to look for reception places for her wedding....


lost

:hi:

[ThomCat]

37. Cool! I hope you find a beautiful place,

and I hope the food samples are fantastic!

:hi:

[swag]

31. Happy Friday, Thom! Portland Roller Derby championship tomorrow night!

How about you?

[ThomCat]

39. I have never actually seen a roller derby.

It's something I hope to experience at some point. It seems like a hell of a lot of fun. :7

I get amazed just watching people run, or walk down stairs. It's been so many years since I was able to move gracefully. I'd sit there the whole time amazed and awestruck at their balance and strength, and ability to move on those wheels.

Watching people do very physical things really is amazing. :)

[Gormy Cuss]

32. I have to confess something, Thomcat.

I took two cookies. :blush:

Happy Weekend!

[ThomCat]

40. That's okay. There are more!

:*

:loveya:

[malta blue]

35. Hi Thom!

Happy Friday to you too, my dear friend. :hug:

Tomorrow is Mr MB and my anniversary. We are celebrating with a small dinner party this evening and then a delicious meal at our favorite restaurant tomorrow night - all of this with Little MB in tow - she is really looking forward to it.

[ThomCat]

42. That is very cool!

I know most couples leave the kid(s) at home and celebrate their aniversary as a couple. But I think the kids get into it more than the adults do when they're part of the celebration.

I hope you have a good time. :hug:

[Parche]

38. Doing This All Weekend!!

:popcorn: :hi:

[ThomCat]

43. That's awesome! I both love and fear heights.

I hope the weather is clear and beautiful, and I hope you have a wonderful time. :hi:

[ceile]

41. Back at 'cha!

Not sure about weekend plans. My bday was Tues and the SO was pretty broke, so I'm thinking he may have something special planned. :evilgrin: We'll see....
You have a good one, too!!

[ThomCat]

45. I hope there is a wonderful little surprise party or something

in your weekend! Happy Birthday! :hug:

[ceile]

47. Thank you!

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

44. Hi sweetie!!

:hug:

No idea exactly what I'm doing this weekend. The same client who showed up with her tax information at 3:30 on Sunday (it was due Monday) wanted to know if I could do a fundraiser brochure for her tonight. Uh, no. I sit at a computer 50 or more hours a week at work. I may not have plans tonight, but I'm *not* going to work on a brochure because she still hasn't bought the computer she was supposed to buy last year. :eyes:

I may go to a concert tomorrow evening and hopefully will get a call a DUer about meeting up sometime this weekend.

Other than that, it's me and the cats. I know it could be much worse, but after 6 years, I'm tired of being alone almost all the time. :(

[ThomCat]

46. Hi lizziegrace!

The concert and hanging out with a DUer definitely sounds like the better plan.
:)

Clients are important, but they have a way of imposing on personal time. x(

Please make sure the cats get hugs!

[huskerlaw]

48. Thanks for the cookie!

I'll be staying late at work tonight so that I can actually HAVE a weekend. x(

Tomorrow morning, after I clean the apartment, I'll be picking up my new iPhone and taking my car to get its oil changed. Then, in the afternoon, I have some friends coming from out of town. Which basically means that we'll get extremely drunk and not sleep very much.

On Sunday, I'm spending the day campaigning for John Edwards. And in the evening, I'll be preparing for Monday.

At least Saturday night will be fun... :crazy:

[ThomCat]

49. Don't drink too much!

You want to remember the fun afterwards. :P

I hope you have a great time with your friends. And I hope campaigning is fun and productive too!

:hug:

[swimboy]

50. Flame on!

How are you, Thom? :hi:

I've had an hellaciously hectic couple of weeks. I got one evening at home when I cut choir practice O8) .

We're having an engagement party for some friends and this was really a mad thing to attempt as we are trying for it to be really nice while there is a painter upstairs as we also try to ready a completely gutted and redone guestroom in time for the mr.'s parents' arrival in early November.

I'm set to sleep through church Sunday to recuperate from the long haul.

It's good to see you hereabouts.

[ThomCat]

53. Wow! I hope you have get that sleep.

:)

You've always been incredibly busy, but it seems like you're really pushing pretty hard. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the autumn and the holidays.

So, on top of being handsome and multi-talented, you can sing too? Good for you! I really hope you get to enjoy and appreciate it all.

I'm managing pretty well, and I've been finding ways to have some fun and really enjoy myself. Life is pretty good.
:hi:

[swimboy]

56. Thanks, Thom.

Next week is wide open and unscheduled and I'm keeping it that way. Seriously.

I'm really glad to hear you've been enjoying yourself. Truly, my friend. :hug:

[Left Is Write]

51. Happy Friday, ThomCat.

[ThomCat]

54. HI Left is Write!

:hug:

I hope you're going to have a wonderful weekend.

[triguy46]

52. Putting the top down on the Miata and taking a long drive.

[ThomCat]

55. That is awesome! I hope you have some very

beautiful places nearby to go driving. :)

[flvegan]

57. Thom, I'm working all weekend.

Got the house all to myself, though. Fair trade for me.

How 'bout you?

[ThomCat]

59. My roommate has been off with her boyfriend

for a few days now. I have no idea when she's coming back.

I'd walk around in my underwear and take advantage of the privacy, but she's probably walk in with friends. :P

I will probably work one day this weekend. Work is getting backlogged. I hope you have more fun at work than I do. :(

[TK421]

58. Well, I'm stuck here at work until 10:30, and from 11-10:30 Saturday

and Sunday. But since Sunday is the last show, I can finally get a break :hi:

[ThomCat]

60. You work in Theater?

Cool. What do you do? :hi:

[TK421]

61. I'm the box office guy, among other things

http://www.brtstage.org/

[ThomCat]

62. I hope you also get to see the shows.

The shows look good on the website. I hope the actors are good enough to present them well. :)

(edit to fix typo) Doh!

[TK421]

63. They definitely are-most of them are out of New York

but we've also had actors come all the way from LA and Chicago. They are all professionals

I do get to see the shows, and I try to go when my schedule allows it :thumbsup:
