And then after that, I am going to drive home. Then I'm going to have dinner with my family. I think tonight we're going to have pizza, although I'm not sure. And then after dinner, I think I'm going to relax and chat with my mom and my dad. And then I'm going to go to bed early. I'm not going to stay up late because tomorrow I have to get up early, because I'm going to drive to another city, and I'm going to meet my niece and nephew because my nephew is getting married.
So, I'm going to be doing a lot of things. So, I'm going to be very busy. What about you? What are you going to have for dinner tonight? Are you going to see anybody tonight? And what are you going to do tomorrow?
