I have high hopes for the 3-day weekend. If I can get out of the office early, I can do the grocery shopping and throw some laundry in the washing machine. That would give me a head-start. I've had the ingredients for muffins on a tray on the counter-top, and I just keep moving it from one place to another, but I'll bake them over the weekend. I also want to make some home-made breakfast sausage on Saturday-- I'm thawing out the pork loin today. Once those things are done, I can clear the decks in the kitchen.

I've got 4 big containers of newspaper clippings and articles printed from various websites, all on political & economic topics. I would really like to go thru them (keep the general stuff and toss the Bush-specific ones), but that just seems such a daunting task. Maybe I'll just throw a table cloth over the whole pile.

The Belle Isle Botanical Society plant sale is this Saturday, so I want to go and buy my tomato plants early and get them in the ground.

If I can get that much done, I'll be satisfied.
