I thought Weekend would never get here. PHEW! Thank goodness for that whole spinning-of-the-earth and the sun and all that jazz that can&#8217;t be frozen or halted no matter how hard people try!<\/p>\n<p>I have an Agenda for Weekend. It is not Hidden.  Those are dreadful and bad and really, life-shortening, if you ask me.  My agenda involves shopping for more Organizational Items That Will Change Our Lives Forever, it involves some Serious-Ass Power Knitting, because now I have two pairs of mittens and a hat and a muffler to make by Wednesday (bring on the knitting cocaine! (chocolate + thai food)) and a whooooole bunch of DVR&#8217;d shows, plus I now have all of the first season of Nip\/Tuck, and nothing says loving yourself &#038; finding inner peace like watching a show featuring people who cut themselves up to improve their lives &#038; appearances! <\/p>\n<p>I also was going to be purchasing an MP3 player, and have concluded that I am Too Old. My purposes are different than you mobile, jogging sorts. I want to organize everything, including my CD&#8217;s, and I thought an iPod was the answer to my prayers.  But, after consulting our IT person, my needs are (shockingly) much more complex and unanswerable with a single gadget. JWo, while he is not here this weekend, wherever he is right now, suddenly looked up and is suddenly feeling Not Surprised.  So, I figure I just saved myself about $530, because if you give a mouse an iPod, then she&#8217;ll want an external hard drive, and if you give a mouse an external hard drive, then she&#8217;ll want a docking sound system. Give the mouse a docking sound system and then she&#8217;ll demand a wireless transmitter for the car. Instead, the mouse is getting her big-ass television set. Dammit.<\/p>\n<p>For, dear readers, the garage is worthy. Empty. Ready. The deal which was struck months back has closure.  And I wanna start watching &#8220;My Name Is Earl&#8221; and think that Jason Lee is actually SITTING, life-sized, over to my left. Duuuuuuude! <\/p>\n<p>That is my rock-em, sock-em weekend and I love it. There&#8217;ll be some cooking, I&#8217;ll probably get up at 4 a.m. to go to the grocery store (think of it as &#8220;training&#8221; for the day after Thanksgiving! &#8211; insert theme to Rocky -) because I can&#8217;t imagine what Saturday afternoon&#8217;s gonna look like at the Price Chopper&#8230;.. I&#8217;d end up committing hari kari in the checkout line using a Twix bar and a soap opera magazine.  And that&#8217;d be a hell of a way to screw up a perfectly good weekend. Not to mention, a waste of chocolate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holy Toledo. I thought Weekend would never get here. PHEW!
