Where does all the time go?

This weekend is ALREADY CHOCK FULL! OY! How?

1. I have to CLEAN - Like a MAD WOMAN tonight (D's Mom's 1st visit to my place! See # 3.) And I decided (must have been during a jet-lagged haze) to take all of the needed frozen meats out of the freezer to make a giant pot of my pasta sauce to freeze for meals. (??) So the meat is now thawed and I will have to get at it first thing tonight.
2. Get to the laundry EARLY on Sat pick up the freshly washed couch cover etc & then to the Silver Moon Bakery (the best in NYC!) and green grocer for the breakfast fixins. (There's no time for a "real" breakfast in the schedule.)
3. Dmitri's Mom & Sister will come tomorrow for breakfast, then to join in a walk thru The Gates, followed by a Matinee of the Broadway show Democracy and topped off by dinner probably at my neighborhood Japanese spot Tomo.
4. I've 2 (two) yes 2 small knitting samples to make for a project I'm involved with...deadline looming! I'll be knitting through out #6!! (Which also means all WIPs are to be put on hold!)
5. I have to make up the goody bag for Sunday night's winner (thee who guesses the most right! See #6) & print out the Ballots!
6. I've friends coming over for some Dresses Caddiness and Fun with Oscar Night.
7. Fall asleep totally exhausted at the thought of the schedule for work next week! OY!

Oh - and as promised to Lolly:

See, Orange can be VERY VERY COOL! :-)

A FEW NOTES ON THE UK TRIP

It was chilly and snowy in Meriden, England (and the surrounding area) but fun to be with the UK crew :

And the Obligatory cuteness from Jackson:

We enjoyed our time at The Bulls Head Inn. An Inn that fulfills what we as Americans expect a quaint English Country inn/pub should. And - it's the actual Center of England in the Inn. See the plaque that's in the carpet on our way to our rooms:

Work went well, but it's always better when with good friends! Thanks for a lovely time!
