It's FFFFFRRRRRIIIIIDDDDAAAAYYYY! Can you tell I'm excited?! We don't have much going on this weekend (except my little sister who has been living with us for 12 weeks is leaving....I'm considering duct taping her to a chair). Is it bad I'm already listening to Christmas music, and loving it?? We're going to try our absolute best to not do much this weekend...make some pancakes for Saturday morning brunch, rent some movies, and take our poor depressed puppy to the puppy park. Have a lovely weekend!
