• Highs? Went wedding dress shopping with my friends in Georgetown and had a great time. 
• Lows? We bagged 75 bags of leaves yesterday and the yard is covered in leaves again.
• Eat/make anything good? Had delicious little maple bacon donuts from Glazey Days and had an amazing tea spread at the DC Hyatt.
• Watch anything good? Didn't watch much tv but the song from one of the SNL skits is stuck in my head.
• Read anything good? Didn't read at all. Still working on the 2nd Harry Potter.
• Vents, FFCs, AWs, comments, etc? AW: DH entered our dog's halloween costume picture in a contest and we won a $75 gift card to our local hardware store. I got a couple of strands of lights and bird food and still have money left. Yay!
• What are you looking forward to this week? Only having to work 4 days.

• Highs? Gymboree Saturday morning, lots of downtime to get things done around the house.
  
• Lows? Nap fails for DS.
  
• Eat/make anything good? DH made a delicious turkey meatloaf (my old meatloaf recipe is officially retired) and some yummy pear granola muffins.
  
• Watch anything good? More SOA - we're still on season 2. And more Grey's (season 8).
  
• Read anything good? No.
  
• Vents, FFCs, AWs, comments, etc? Twice this morning I got stuck behind cars who literally stopped in the middle of the road to chat with someone. Seriously people?! Also, I hate TTC. It's so depressing, I just want to be pg already.
  
• What are you looking forward to this week? Sunday, DH is taking DS to his parents' for the day and I get a "day off"!

Highs? Grocery shopping at Wegman's! I'm so excited that we have one!
Lows? I still have a lot of congestion.  I need this cold to go away.
Eat/make anything good? We had fajitas last night that were amazing!
Watch anything good? We finished season 4 of SOA and I finally saw the movie Mean Girls.  It was cute/funny.
Read anything good? No
Vents, FFCs, AWs, comments, etc? DH used one of those at home blood pressure monitor/tests and now he is worried because it said he has really high blood pressure. I'm glad in a way because it may have scared him straight about being healthy.  We have a week of healthy meals and workouts planned. 
What are you looking forward to this week? The weekend!

Meghann, has he seen a doctor about meds to help control the pressure while he improves his lifestyle? 

• Highs? Getting a lot accomplished around the house, time with family.
• Lows? I went to my grandparents' house for the first time since my Pop-Pop passed (8 weeks after my Grandmother passed - it's been a rough couple of months) and it was emotional.
• Eat/make anything good? I'm addicted to Pumpkin Supreme Pie from Bob Evans and need to re-create it for Thanksgiving next week.
• Watch anything good? I caught up on my DVRed shows, so a little bit of everything.
• Read anything good? Nope
• Vents, FFCs, AWs, comments, etc? I go back to work tomorrow and I'm sad. I was going to drive Ed to work this morning so that I could have the car and run errands, but I decided against it so that I could just stay home and cuddle my boy. My heart hurts.
• What are you looking forward to this week? It's only a 3-day work week for me, since the state is closed today and I need to take Friday for appointments.

No, he hasn't.   He is very anti-medicine. He knows he is 20-30lbs overweight so he wants to work on that first. I haven't seen him this serious in years so hopefully we will see some changes.  If he loses the weight and still has problems, I'll make him go to the doctor.

• Highs? Hot Stone massage on Saturday and Zoo play date with friends.
  
• Lows? Baby is still not sleeping all the well.
  
• Eat/make anything good? I made meatloaf yesterday and it was delish
  
• Watch anything good? The Ravens game
  
• Read anything good? Still reading Gone Girl
  
• Vents, FFCs, AWs, comments, etc? Annabelle is in love with my "candle" now. Mommy I want to play the cat game. Mommy when will you download more games to your candle. Caroline is so close to crawling. Where did my little baby go??
  
• What are you looking forward to this week? I'm off on Friday and we are heading to Philly for the day.

Gotcha. I hope he's able to make the changes on his own terms and see improvements!

Highs? I got my life back!!  Deal closed on Thursday so I spent the weekend getting control over non-work stuff again.  We got all of the major stuff ordered for the nursery yesterday, bills are all paid...we even got to my parents' on Saturday to help with yard cleanup and then to my cousin's store to help out with a Hurricane Sandy relief drive that they were doing. Lows? Just the arrival of Monday morning. Eat/make anything good? Pumpkin bread pudding.  Mmmmm.  Other than that I've just been on a weird pregnancy-induced hard boiled egg kick.  Gross, I know.  Watch anything good? Not really. Read anything good? A little more of The Passage.  Not much else. Vents, FFCs, AWs, comments, etc? Got big compliments from a very difficult partner on the deal that I closed on Thursday.  It was incredibly complicated and I'm really relieved to be mostly clear of it.  Was also named a Chambers legal directory "Associate to Watch", which is pretty cool. What are you looking forward to this week?  Thanksgiving Feast with DH and the other parents at DS's preschool on Thursday afternoon.  It's going to be so freaking cute.

• Highs? We attended CASA's fundraising gala on Saturday night. I found a beautiful navy blue floor-length gown at Ross for $50. It was a really good night. 
• Lows? I didn't really get any cleaning done. 
• Eat/make anything good? Bacon-wrapped scallops on Saturday night - yum! I also went out for pho in DC yesterday with a friend. 
• Watch anything good? We watched 'The Five Year Engagement" last night. Cute movie.
• Read anything good? No reading this weekend
• Vents, FFCs, AWs, comments, etc? I just found out that our sales director is stepping down. She's a huge supporter of me, and overall just makes my job a lot easier. I'm really concerned for what will happen when she leaves. 
• What are you looking forward to this week? I fly to AZ on Saturday for Thanksgiving.

If you find a recipe for this, can you share? DH wants to make one too.
