• Highs? Got a lot done around the house this weekend and still had plenty of time to relax. Had fun dogsitting my mom's dog too.
  
• Lows? Nothing
  
• Watch anything good? Not really, just a lot of House Hunters.
  
• Eat/make anything good? Mini meatloaves and this chocolate chip ice cookie ice cream pie thing that was really good.
  
• Read anything good? Still reading Mercy by Jodi Picoult. The funny thing is I've already read it and didn't realize it until after I bought it.
  
• FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc? Vent: I have a horrible headache today (almost a migraine) and I have two annoying meetings to sit through today. AW: We put our massive grill together yesterday and it actually works. So excited to cook out.
  

• What are you looking forward to this week? Only working four days and payday.

Highs? I discovered that steak does not make my stomach sick but is in fact the "butter" that they put on top of it that tears my stomach apart.

I had a great time (granted it was a long day) volunteering for Kira's school at the Arbutus Arts Festival.  Everything came together, I was proud of my efforts.  This was my first event that I chaired.  We raised a decent amount of money for the school.

Lows? Getting sunburned because I forgot sunscreen yesterday.  Friday was my due date, that really dragged me down but I'm getting over it. Watch anything good? No. Eat/make anything good? I'm fairly certain what few meals I ate this weekend were all purchased. Read anything good? I've been on a Meg Cabot kick, reading Big Boned right now, they are fun easy reads. FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc?  Vent- I hate parents that volunteer and don't show up, had several people stiff me yesterday, fortunately I solicited for extra volunteers so it worked out. What are you looking forward to this week? The 4 day work week

Highs - Spring swap  which meant meeting some new moms.

Lows - My aunt dying

No tv this weekend!

Made Lemon Meringue pie, but I think I'll add less sugar - I like mine to be a bit tart.

FFC - DH was gone for like 5 hours on Sunday while I got to watch DD. I love DD but I don't think it is fair that he gets way more time to his hobbies than I do to mine. 

Also, see funeral post below.

Looking forward to brew at the zoo and day off on Monday.

• Highs? I had a party for DH on Saturday to celebrate him getting his Masters and it was really fun!!
  
• Lows? DS sucks at napping. We got 2 naps on Saturday, only 20 mins each!
  
• Watch anything good? Nothing special. Just caught up on some DVRed TV.
  
• Eat/make anything good? I made a cake, and pork BBQ! And my MIL made some awesome mac & cheese.
  
• Read anything good? No.
  
• FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc?
  
• Vent: Monday + rain + umbrella fail trying to get baby into the car seat = not a good start to the day.
• AW: Our generous family and friends gifted DH with several restaurant gift cards AND babysitting services so we will hopefully have many date nights in the next few months!!!
  
• What are you looking forward to this week? Getting some more stuff done for DS's party, 3 day weekend!

• Highs? Sleeping in this morning 
• Lows? Only having one day off (Monday)
• Watch anything good? We started watching the first season of Mad Men. DH loves it, I think it's good but not great. 
• Eat/make anything good? No
• Read anything good? No
• FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc? I promised to take DH to PF Chang's tonight. I hate it but he loves it so I can suck it up for one meal.  I just got an email stating that the luncheon I'm going to for work on Wednesday is at.... PF Chang's! Twice in one week.  Such a silly vent but I really wish the luncheon was somewhere else!
• What are you looking forward to this week? The weekend!

Highs? DD's 1st birthday and party

Lows? DD faling for the 2nd time on concrete and us having to move her 1 year pictures on what was a gorgeous day.

Watch anything good? nope

Eat/make anything good? Apparently, the crockpot mac and cheese I made was awesome. I didn't eat any.

Read anything good? nope

FFC's, AW's vents, observations, etc? Having to take DD to get a blood test this afternoon cause I answered yes to a lead question while we were at her 1 yr appt this morning, when I know damn well that she doesn't have lead in her system. Argh, and the lab already doesn't give a good vibe. 

What are you looking forward to this week? A short work week!!

Highs? we ended up going to Towson Friday night to the new CVP to have a few drinks and ran in to some old friends; it turned in to a fun night; also hung out with my nephew and niece Saturday afternoon; and lastly, the weather was gorgeous last night...definitely enjoyed sleeping with the windows open! Lows? Plans got messed up for Saturday night and DH and I both kinda took it out on each other. Watch anything good? Didn't watch too much tv this weekend other than sports Eat/make anything good? made awesome turkey meatballs yesterday with and used raspberry habanero sauce instead of spaghetti sauce Read anything good? nope FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc? work is so overwhelming that sometimes I come in and distract myself so that I can procraste on what I really have to get done...take this survey for example! What are you looking forward to this week? having Friday and Monday off...definitely need the break!

Highs? We had a very mellow Saturday and just hung around the house.  I ran some errands solo and did a little shopping for myself - so heavenly! Lows? Yesterday DH and I were just kinda tense w/ each other.  Like we both kept saying the wrong thing, but nothing major, its was just a litlte tense. Didn't watch too much tv this weekend other than sports no Eat/make anything good? I made a nice dinner Saturday night - chicken tenders and spinach risotto Read anything good? I downloaded some new books to my Kindle. FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc? My parents 50th anniversary is in September - on Friday my mom told me that they want to take us all on an Alaskan cruise to celebrate.  I'm excited and I want to go, but I really wish they had decided this earlier in the year as this will get me very close to my leave limit and it may actually put DH over his.  Also, my mom is not very good at planning - so I kinda feel like I might end up doing most of the planning.  What are you looking forward to this week? 4 day weekend!

I effing HATE that lead test crap. I know damn well that M doesn't have lead in her system, but I've had to get her tested twice because of our zip code. It pisses me off to an irrational degree.

• Highs? Lots of time with friends, especially yesterday.
• Lows? In the wake of a really bad day on Friday, I had a hard time controlling my moods and emotions, which led to two almost-fights with my husband. I was so tense and stressed and just didn't cope well.
• Watch anything good? The season finale of Scandal. I LOVE THAT SHOW!
• Eat/make anything good? I mad some shrimp pasta salad for a party, and I love that stuff. The grilled steak and chicken provided by the hosts was incredible, too. Oh, and sushi on Saturday night!
• Read anything good? I just barely started the latest Sookie book, but I'm not even a chapter in yet. I hope it's better than the previous one - that sucked.
• FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc? Vent: The sheer number of phone calls I've had to make today to get an appointment scheduled, records and test results faxed, referrals requested, etc... I hate health insurance. Hate. Loathe. AW: I got an adorable outfit at Lane Bryant yesterday morning. Of course it's going to be nasty all week, not really the ideal weather for it, but I can't wait to wear it. I haven't bought anything cute in a long time. 
• What are you looking forward to this week? Having Friday off, and all to myself.
  

Argh. Why can't I bold text in Chrome?

Highs? Gorgeous weather and tons of time with DH and DS - along with lots of stuff getting done outside.  I did some more planting and put up a birdfeeder out back and DH got a ton of the demo done out front for the landscaping that's happening in a few weeks. Lows? Nothing really.  It gets a little aggravating when the warm weather shifts almost 100% of our attention from the house to yardwork each year...but we're making great progress, so I feel good about it. Watch anything good?  Not really.  Barely had the TV on all weekend. Eat/make anything good?  Nothing huge on this front either - though I finally got the bottle of ice wine I've been craving for weeks. Read anything good?  Finished Divergent and about halfway through Insurgent.  I've enjoyed them even more than the Hunger Games trilogy. FFCs, AWs, vents, observations, etc?  DH finished spring semester last week - woohoo!!  Now we just have to get through summer session and next fall.  I swear when this is all over I'm going to throw the mother of all graduation parties. What are you looking forward to this week?  Just spontaneously decided to take Thursday and Friday off to get some down time at home before next week.
