Highs? New Year's Eve was fun.  We went to Gordon Biersch for HH then had a quiet night at home.  We also went out to dinner Friday night for my nephew's birthday. 
Lows? I've had a sinus headache for two days, ranging from debilitating to dull/nagging.
Eat/make anything good? My black bean burger at Friday's was yummy!
Watch anything good? We're currently watching Weeds on Netflix. It's pretty good.  We watched Total Recall and it wasn't that good. 
Read anything good? Nope
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? One of my good friends/bridesmaids decided she didn't want to be friends anymore.  She was acting weird about two years ago and I kept reaching out to her but was ignored.   Then she defriended me (along with DH and my sister!) on FB.  My sister called her out on it and she said "Oh, I'm just trying to clean up my list and I must've accidentally deleted you. If you really want, I can add you back as a friend." Really? You and your husband accidentally deleted all three of us? So we haven't spoken since, which I'm ok with.  BUT, why the hell does she keep sending me Christmas cards?! Last year and this year?! I don't get it. My new years resolution is to make my lunch and dinners vegan.  I've been wanting to this for awhile and now is the time! I'm excited to try some new recipes.  
What are you looking forward to this week? Just the weekend!

Highs? Lots of snuggling with the baby, lots of time in PJs and lying around the house, fun with friends

Lows? Our party guests were super late on NYE, which was frustrating. Liam appears to be going through a growth spurt, so he's all off lately.

Eat/make anything good? I made spinach and artichoke dip, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, and banana pudding for NYE. Ed's friends brought chili, chicken tenders, and a few desserts. It was quite a spread and there was a TON of food leftover.

Watch anything good? I'm getting into Pretty Little Liars via Netflix. I watched Magic Mike last night and it was so damn stupid.

Read anything good? Nope. I put Gone Girl down a couple of weeks ago and haven't picked it back up since. And now it's overdue to the library. I'm just having trouble getting into it.

FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? There's so much, but I'll just summarize it with: I'm struggling a lot lately.

What are you looking forward to this week? It being over.

• Highs? Saturday and Sunday were lazy and we did a whole lot of nothing.
  
• Lows? NYE was kind of crappy all around due to DH not feeling well and another friend having a migraine. We basically just watched TV.
  
• Eat/make anything good? Melting Pot was yummy as always
  
• Watch anything good? Started watching season 2 of The Walking Dead
  
• Read anything good? Started reading Gone Girl, which is the first book I've read in ages. It's meh so far.
  
• FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? DH had a procedure on Monday that was more painful than expected which sucked for him, obviously, but also for me, and it really sucked that it was NYE. This is really selfish, but I have spent lots of time in the "family member" chair in hospital rooms with DH and that chair is so uncomfortable when you sit there all day. When I was in L&D, DH got a couch! Again, I know it's selfish, but non-patients do spend a lot of time with their loved ones.
  
• What are you looking forward to this week? Saturday.

I had a friend do the same thing. Just man up and tell me you don't want to be friends for whatever reason. I hate passive aggressive! 

 

Highs: I painted my sunroom yesterday and I love the color! Now I need to work on the kitchen! My home will be mine soon

Lows: We were planning to go to HH, but just didn't feel like it and then found out a bunch of our friends went oh well.

Eat/make anything good: I got dinner at Wegmans for NYE and it was great and so easy!!

Watch anything good: Not really. We got "Friends with kids" on netflix and it wasn't that good.

Read anything good: Haven't been reading much lately, except journals for school 

FFC's/Comments/AW's: H and I have not been in the same page lately, and it's starting to annoy me!  

Looking forward to: This weekend! Taking down Christmas and hopefully getting a china cabinet!

Highs?  We did New Year's with my parents and our cousins again and it was great as usual.  Very low key.  Also tons of time with DS over the last couple of weeks.  I closed my last deal of the year the week before Christmas and nobody is going to start a deal between Christmas and New Year's, so it was a pretty relaxing couple of weeks - and now that I'm back and 34 weeks I can't imagine I'm going to get staffed solo on anything before the baby comes...so it might be a very nice (and productive at home!) month!  Lows?  DH was super stressed about school's starting up again today (winter and spring are going to be pretty bad for him), so he could have been more pleasant over the last few days - but otherwise nothing too bad. Eat/make anything good?  Lots of goodies on NYE. Watch anything good?  DH and I got Pitch Perfect on demand, which was pretty cute.  We also watched the pilot of Parenthood on Netflix - which was excellent but had me all weepy.  I'm going to keep with it but probably slowly if they're usually that draining.  DH started watching American Horror Story last night while I hid in the other room.  Definitely not my cup of tea.  Read anything good?  Finished American Assasin, which was a nice mindless change of pace, and started Wool by Hugh Howey, which seems promising so far.  FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc?  Nothing much.  I'm thinking of having the design architect that was referred to us come by to check out the master this week or next and am excited to hear his ideas.  (We need a serious gut and reno.)  Though realistically between the baby coming soon and DH's work/school schedule over the next 6 months it'll be a little while before we can really kick things off.   What are you looking forward to this week?  Just hoping things stay low key.  Would love to get some more house stuff done over the next few days.

• Lows? Went too fast.

Highs? - Seeing the Hobbit and having lunch with DH - just the two of us.

Lows?  Taking my mom back and saying "goodbye" to her dog, who is dying. Going back to work.

Eat/Make? - Salted Caramel Ice Cream and I ate some Spinach and Artichoke dip.

Watch?  The Hobbit

Read? Gone Girl. I knew it wasn't a typical missing person story and I really enjoyed it. I keep thinking about it now.

FFC's - When I work from home, I do stuff around the house, i.e. go to the bathroom and put a load of clothes in, on my lunch break, I vacuum, or  do dinner prep work. When DH has a spare moment, he sits on his a$$ and plays video games or watches YouTube Science Videos and it annoys the heck out of me.

Our sink is leaking and we had to call a plumber

Looking forward to the end of a very short week.

ETA: Our cousins came over for NYE and we played Apples to Apples. It was very low-key.

Highs? being off for 4 days (5 really cause I took yesterday too!), being super lazy with DH and just having fun

Lows? Did not want to come back to work

Eat/make anything good? We made BBQ meatballs to take with us to a NYE party that were really good.  Oh, and CFA on Tuesday...good hangover cure!

Watch anything good?  we went and saw Django Unchained.  Awesome!  I don't think Tarentino makes a bad film.

Read anything good? No but DH got me Ellen's book for Christmas and I can't wait to read it

FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? No, none really.

What are you looking forward to this week? I'm going to dinner tomorrow night with a few girlfriends for early bday celebration.  Seriously excited for girl time!

Highs? Got a lot done around the house (big projects like staining).
Lows? Had dinner with MIL who isn't in the best shape medically. It's so frustrating the situation she has put herself in financially, and now that she can't work...
Eat/make anything good? Made chiles rellenos for NYE, so good.
Watch anything good? Jesus Henry Christ on Netflix. It was pretty cute. I like Toni Collette.
Read anything good? Reading World War Z.
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? Frustrated about MIL's money sitch and hoping she doesn't ask to live with us (she's sweet, but drives us both nuts). Nervous about my NT scan tomorrow. So hoping it goes well.
What are you looking forward to this week? NT scan tomorrow, then vacation next week!
