Re: How was your weekend?

  • Highs? Very productive day yesterday! Slept in, cleaned, did laundry, went shipping with DH, went to HH, and then dinner with my family.
    Lows? Only having one day off
    Eat/make anything good? DH made coconut curry with vegetables and tofu. It was amazing!
    Watch anything good? I saw Les Miserables with my mom and sister Saturday night.  It was incredible. 
    Read anything good? No
    FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I finally went to the doctor after suffering for weeks. Sinus infection and a double ear infection. Thankfully, I'm already feeling better! DH got a call, out of the blue, from his friend's boss.  He needs someone to rewire their recording studios in DC and wanted to know what DH's rate would be.  DH has a lot on his plate right now so he threw out a high number.  The next day, the manager called him back and said we can do it for a little less but pay for lunch and parking every day.  It's 100 hours of work over the course of a month that will put a huge dent on our debt. I'm so excited! 
    What are you looking forward to this week? A four day weekend and going to visit my grandmother in VA.

    • Highs? Watching the Ravens game!
    • Lows? My kid not sleeping and coming into work today.
    • Eat/make anything good? Pork tenderloin w/mashed potatoes
    • Watch anything good? Ravens game and Once Upon a Time
    • Read anything good? Still reading Fifty Shades Freed (I just need to find some time)
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? Both my girls are back to daycare after being off on Friday for a RSV scare at daycare. I have decided that I can never be a SAHM, yes I love my kids, but I need adult interaction during the day. By Saturday I was going stir crazy and had to get out of the house.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Getting through the week. We have a 5th birthday party on Saturday which A has no idea about. I guess I should tell her tonight.

    • Highs? Didn't have many plans this weekend and it was really nice.
    • Lows? DH's great aunt passed away unexpectedly. She was such a sweet lady and she lives in Oregon so I feel bad that DH's Gma won't even be able to go to her funeral.
    • Eat/make anything good? Went out for bbq last night.
    • Watch anything good? Mob Wives
    • Read anything good? I'm reading A Fistful of Collars by Spencer Quinn and I just finished up Amy and Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? My Mom came over yesterday to watch one of our new 3-D movies and two of them did not work so we had to watch one that I just watched last week. Really frustrating trying to get them to work.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? It being over. It's going to be a really annoying work week and I feel like I'm getting sick.
  • Highs? Fun weekend around the house.


    Lows? Wasn't feeling 100% and as usual, didn't get as much stuff done as I would have liked.


    Eat/make anything good? Made PW's cinnamon rolls and beef stew in the crockpot!


    Watch anything good? We are catching up on Revolution which we are really liking.


    Read anything good? No.


    FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? DS has learned to say "here you go" and "where are you" and it's so cute to see him wander around looking for the cats and saying "Where are you, Jake? Where are you, Beaker?" He's such a little person!


    What are you looking forward to this week? Empty weekend this weekend. Getting all the Christmas stuff down and getting the house back to normal.

    • Watch anything good?- since they finally started season 3 of Downton Abbey, I DVR'd Season 2 - and watched 3 hours of it last night!
    • Read anything good?- I started reading The Thornbirds
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc?- We had some friends over to watch the game yesterday and DH really doesn't like one of the wives.  I've never been a huge fan of hers, but I didn't really share his disdain.  I totally got it yesterday - she was clearly so miserable and annoyed to be watching the game and couldn't even fake being into it.  She also started making a lot of unnecessary cracks about Ray Lewis which annoyed me.  And, let me say, I'm not a huge football fan in general, but its a big deal to my husband, so I'll get into for his sake occassionally - or at the very least, I'm not going to be a total b about it on the big playoff day at a party.  I just wanted to tell her to STFU
    • What are you looking forward to this week?-nothing - ugh 5 day work week!!
    Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

    Lows?- not feeling like there was enough time to get anything done around the house

    Eat/make anything good?- Bel Air peeps- we went to a restaurant called The Pelican Cove back near BJ's and the movie theater.  Food was awesome!  I had steak and cake and DH had a Po Boy.  Both of us were impressed!

    Watch anything good?- football Saturday night and all day yesterday

    Read anything good?- no

    FFCs, vents, AWs, etc?- between coupons and sales I paid $100 instead of $175

  • imagegracie2762:

    I figured I should answer, since I've read everyone else's

    • Highs? none
    • Lows? Lack of sleep
    • Eat/make anything good? Homemade salted caramel ice cream and slow-cooker lentils with rice
    • Watch anything good? No
    • Read anything good? Started reading "The Hobbit" again. It is definitely more fast-paced than the movie.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? When I don't get enough good sleep, I turn into a pretty terrible person - moody, short-tempered, impatient. Which leads me to believe that we are one-and-done. I can barely handle a fussy toddler and a sick spouse without majorly losing my $@#! I can't imagine doing it with 2, especially with no family support around.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Book Club!
