This weekend VS. Next weekend

So, there is a debate going on here at the old homestead. What exactly is considered this weekend and what is next weekend? The old ball and chain claims that 'This weekend' is any weekend that is closest while 'Next weekend' is the weekend after that. Obviously this just doesn't make any sense. This weekend is the closest weekend to the day you are actually living while next weekend is the one after that. In Matt's world, if it is Monday (which it is at the moment) then next weekend doesn't arrive until an entire weekend and then Monday goes by and then the rest of the week. In my logical, and clearly correct version, if it is Monday today then next weekend is the next one to show up. This weekend doesn't occur until at least Thursday but preferably Friday. This weekend is the one that is either about to happen or is currently under way. This weekend ends by Saturday night and at this point in time Next weekend can begin to exist. If you call me on Saturday afternoon and say to me 'What are you doing next weekend?' I'm not going to immediately jump 2 weeks away..I'm going to tell you what I'm doing the next weekend that appears on my calendar.  Right? No, I don't need validation on this one, I am right. It isn't my fault if Matt is one week off on everything. Try using dates dude! Preferably with month/day/year involved. I can't process the European version with the whole date/month/year. I can't figure out when I was born.
