1. My weekend plans were ... (since it's Monday) ... cleaning my house and doing a Christmas card workshop with a coworker on Saturday, and church Sunday followed by lunch w/ friends (hence why I super-cleaned my house).

2. Over Labor Day Weekend. I was in Atlanta visiting cousins and we went to the Atlanta History Center, which is next to this 1930s mansion that you can tour, and it has a restaurant in the coach house - and they had this fabulous drink called the Bubbly Atlantan - champagne with jasmine liqueur served on the rocks. YUM.

3. It varies. Probably spiders.
