Weekend Roundup 1/24

Posted: January 24, 2013

I’m not sure what’s happening with the weather, but I do know that tomorrow I’m hosting a small private beer dinner at my home. I may be vague today, but you’ll learn all the details in next week’s column – that I promise.

The rest of the weekend stays pretty busy again — the grand opening of Sophia’s at Walden, the Harrisburg Senators Hot Stove Dinner (still figuring out how to make it to both of those) on Saturday. On Sunday, we’re headed to Happy Valley for *our* first Penn State Wrestling match of the season – can’t believe we haven’t made it to a match yet! This time, though, I’m making Andy stop at Trader Joe’s afterwards to stock up on some of our favorites.

Meanwhile, my Out with Sara column in today’s Patriot-News has some great ideas on ways to spend each day of your weekend, starting today. Of course, there are loads more of ideas after the jump.

Tonight, I’m planning to relax with TV and popcorn. Maybe.
