  • Highs? Everything about this past weekend!  Friday night was quality time with DH after a really hectic week, Saturday I started a C25K program with a friend, spent the day at church with our awesome teens, and had my niece and nephew over to spend the night, and yesterday my niece and I baked cookies

    Lows? The shooting in CT unfortunately struck close to home for my SIL as a girl she works with lost her niece

    Make/eat anything good? Made really good chicken ceasar salad yesterday...which were counteracted by the cookies!

    • Highs? Had a lot of fun at the Beer Exchange party we had on Saturday
    • Lows? The whole situation in CT makes me very sad if I think about it.
    • Make/eat anything good? Cheeses that someone brought to the beer exchange
    • Watch anything good? NA
    • Read anything good? Happiest Toddler on the Block - not sure I agree with it all, but it has some good tips.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc?  AW - DD is doing well with the new sleep schedule/arrangements we have been trying. Hopefully it will continue. We all went to a coffee shop on Sunday and she sat for like 20 of 30 minutes just eating her cookie!                             
    • We are going to PA this weekend and my half-sister wants to get together because our LO's are only 8 months apart. She doesn't like to drive and I really don't feel like driving out to BFE PA where a mutual meeting place would be. Also, I may get stuck there over lunch and I don't want to have to remind everyone that we are vegetarian. (DD actually doesn't like chicken, fish or turkey, even though DH has offered it to her on multiple occasions).
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Seeing our families this weekend and the holiday party at work. We all had to draw a self-portrait and then we will guess who drew each one. We also have a really fun white elephant gift exchange.
