It’s Friday afternoon, I’m at work, and the sun is shining ferociously outside. Yep, I’m dreaming about weekend fun! But you see I’m also working on a blog – so this is multi-tasking and totally kosher. Hurrah!

During my lunch today (in the employee lounge, because my Jeep’s lame radiator exploded), I read a neat article in Better Homes and Gardens about ways to keep busy and do good with weekend charity work. Since I won’t be driving into the weekend-fun sunset anytime soon, how’s a gal supposed to find a goodwill project within walking distance? Better Homes and Gardens, I asked and you answered. Plus, that bedspread on page 82 was adorable. You’re full of good stuff! *end plug*

 My magazine directed me to www.volunteermatch.org – a website that asks you to enter your zip code, and then it magically pulls up an event calendar of nearby volunteer opportunities. Pretty cool – but it gets even better! In a recent state of clairvoyance, the One for All team started work on an event calendar of our own. The final product will be up soon, and it will work like your personal Alaskan version of volunteermatch.org. This national website didn’t have any listings for my stomping ground of Palmer, AK – but you can be sure that our One for All calendar will have events to share from Nome to Ketchikan and everywhere in between.

So really, the question is still “what am I gonna do this weekend?” I have a few ideas of my own, some charitable and some not. Feel free to click that nice little comment button below, and tell me how you’re spending your last few days of summer too (yes, I said it. We all know it’s true).

• Pop the hood on my Jeep and see if some superglue will help.
• Weed my landlady’s flowers, ‘cause she has a new little baby to take care of and I know she could use the help.
• Go fishing, and provide a charitable dinner to some friends. That’s in the dream land where I catch fish. Oooo, that’s a whole other blog.
• Help my hubby finish his homework on FRIDAY, to promote peace, harmony, and more free time for the weekend.

…that’s all I’ve got for now. I don’t like over-planning on the weekends. Free time is the best. Ciao!
