Happy Monday! What are you looking forward to this week?
I've decided that I need a bit of an attitude adjustment on Monday mornings.... and voila! I opened FB and saw a bunch of really positive, happy Monday morning posts from some of my favorite people... and it made me instantly less hateful of this morning.
So give me some more positivity - what great things do you have to look forward to this week?
Re: Happy Monday! What are you looking forward to this week?
Oops... meant to post mine...
I'm looking forward to Friday! (As usual) I've got an appt with Samantha at Hugo to get rid of these awful roots and am thinking of going a little streakier/darker for the fall... and DH should be home from Hong Kong by the time I get home.
Then I'm dragging his jet lagged arse out of bed on Saturday night to do something haunted, probably Markoff's or Field of Screams.
I loooooove the fall
Next weekend we're headed out to go wine tasting with a groupon and enjoy the fall colors.
I'm looking forward to just being at home this week and weekend since we've been out of town a lot lately.

I heart Samantha.
One of my BFFs is coming into DC for work today, and she will be staying with us, so she gets to meet my little man, and see our house (which we moved in to in 2009).
After C goes to bed, we are going to go out for a late dinner in Silver Spring. I was thinking either Jackies or Ceviche. Any other ideas?

Hm - double check Ceviche - for some reason I think that they closed. I do love Jackie's - and Sidebar is fun for a cocktail or two....
We had a yummy dinner at Olazzo a couple of weeks ago - totally reasonably priced great food in a nice atmosphere. Their bar is really cute too.
Have fun with your friend! Good luck with your 12 day stretch!

Sephora Friends and Family starts this week, and since I am running out of my makeup this is a must.
I ordered some pieces from West Elm and hopefully they come in this week :-)
Its suppose to be gorgeous outside all week :-) and I am going home to see my parents this weekend so I am looking forward to that :-)
I'm loving the fall weather, so I'm looking forward to spending some time outside. Nothing in particular, just going out for some nice morning runs and taking M to the playground in the afternoons.
Ceviche closed, but I love Jackie's!
cleaning people coming on thursday! i am so excited that our apartment will be clean when i get home from work.
definitely looking forward to friday too! one of my best friends is visiting this weekend from oklahoma! she was one of my bridesmaids and we haven't seen each other since we moved to DC last year. i am getting to see all three of my best girlfriends in the span of three weeks, i feel rather spoiled
Looking forward to my college roommate's wedding this weekend! It's a gorgeous venue out in the country and should be great for leaf peeping.
Also looking forward to checking some things off my list this week, including finishing touches on my Hawaii pics (see siggy!) so I can finally send them out to friends/family.

Chocolate Blog!
oooh, i didn't know this!! i need some new make-up and DH could use some jack black shower gel. *sephora-whore runs off to sephora.com*
I've actually got a lot of things to be excited about this week:
-Today is salted caramel custard at The Dairy Godmother in Del Ray (highly recommend)
-We turned in an application to an apartment we really liked today- fingers crossed we get it!
-Last but most certainly not least- the Cardinals are in the World Series! Woohoo!
Stand up for something you believe in.
I'm not feeling very upbeat today, so I hope this turns me around
Thursday is DD's birthday, so I'm looking forward to that and my parents coming in to celebrate. (Not as much looking forward to MIL coming in on Friday, but oh well.) We're having a way too big family and friends of the adults party on Saturday, so I'm looking forward to being at the party - but not so much the prepping for it :P
I've got nothing.
I take that back, i'm looking forward to next weekend, when we have nothing planned.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
Good luck with the IUI!!!

My dad and stepmom took my two sisters (8 and 9) to Field of Screams last night and they were FREAKED. He said they were too scared to get out of the car and didn't want to sleep alone

I am looking forward to Friday because it's my birthday! Saturday is my dad's b-day too, so H and I will be going to my parents' house in Baltimore for a family celebration.
I'm looking forward to going home this evening because our new curtains from Pottery Barn are arriving and we're going to hang them tonight. Also, I'm making scallops for dinner!
Wednesday I'm heading to the Social Security Office which is only exciting because I'm filing my name change paperwork and then I can start on the rest of it.
I'd also like to get back to working out if we're finished with all this overtime at work. We'll see!
Good luck, dmuppet!
I am looking forward to our big u/s at the end of the week. I love seeing the bebe on the big screen.
