I had all of these plans for last weekend, and then I ended up spending it with my family. So now this weekend I am ending up having the weekend that I planned to have last week. Of course I wanted to go skiing this weekend, I and I still might tomorrow, but if I don't, I'll just go get drunk in the city tonight.

It has been a good weekend so far. I am getting some work done, which is good because I have a deadline on Thursday (last one for a while!), and I am finally getting some chores done around the house. My house and my clothes have a shot of being clean by the end of the weekend! I even took clothes to the dry cleaners. Now if I pay my bills and get my boots and necklace fixed, I will be setting personal records for productivity.

I went shopping for baby clothes today too. I now have cute little outfits for five adorable little folks. I have so much fun playing the cool auntie who gives the cool clothes and toys. And trust me, being around all of these cuties does not make me want to have one of my own yet. I see enough of the reality of raising kids to know that I am still too young and selfish to do it myself.

In addition to fantasizing about renting a little apartment in the city and living the city life, I am also fantasizing about renting a lake cabin for the summer. It is probably really expensive, but a friend and I spent last night daydreaming about spending the weekends in July and August at the lake.

Doing a bit of spring cleaning is getting me excited about summer in general. I am starting to think about camping in Yosemite, hiking at Pinnacles, surfing in Santa Cruz. I miss the Northwest a lot, but California is fricking awesome too.
