Re: How was your weekend?

  • Highs? The whole weekend was amazing. I hadn't seen DH in almost a week so it was especially nice.Saturday, DH and I had a relaxing morning then he went to a massage while I went to a baby shower.  Then we went to Stoney River for dinner.  Sunday, we went to my nephew's first basketball game, lunch with my family, then we watched the Super Bowl at home. 

    Lows? It was too short

    Eat/make anything good? The rolls and cinnamon butter at Stoney River were amazing.  We had a Buy 2 entrees get $20 off coupon so we ordered to filets so DH could have one on Sunday too. He said it was awesome.  For the Super Bowl, DH made crab dip and I made fried pickles with vegan paprika ranch dip. Yummm

    Read anything good? No but DH borrowed Rich Dad, Poor Dad from my BIL so hopefully we can get back in the habit of reading before bed. 

    Watch anything good? We started watching House of Cards, a Netflix "original" series (based on a BBC show) with Kevin Spacey.  It's pretty good. 

    FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc.?  I went the entire month of January following a mostly vegan diet and I lost 6 pounds! I probably gained them back this weekend but that's ok, we were celebrating. I indulged in some butter and it was so good.  

    DH does not like watching sports (except UFC and the Olympics) but he really got into the Super Bowl (just for hometown pride).   I love watching sports so it was really nice being able to enjoy it together.  

    What are you looking forward to this week? Nothing really.  I only have Sunday off so I'm not looking forward to a short weekend.

    • Highs? Dinner at PF Changs on Saturday.
    • Lows? Nap fail for DS yesterday.
    • Eat/make anything good? PF Changs :) I always get chicken fried rice which is lame and boring, but they have the best chicken fried rice ever and I love it!!
    • Read anything good? No.
    • Watch anything good? We actually watched all of the Super Bowl this year, minus a couple minutes at the end of the first half. Last year I think we just caught a tiny bit of the 4th quarter since we were dealing with DS.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc.? I honestly did not care who won the Super Bowl and found myself cheering good plays on both sides, and aww-ing bad plays on both sides of a very exciting game.It's an interesting way to watch a football game!
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Getting somethings done around the house during the week. Early Valentines double date at Melting Pot on Saturday!

    • Highs? Didn't have much planned so it was nice to just do stuff around the house with no time frame.
    • Lows? Someone was letting off fireworks last night and it terrified poor Braddock. I think he was having flashbacks from his old hunting days. Also the dogs woke me up at 4a.m. both days.
    • Eat/make anything good? I made chocolate chip cookies at DH's request and they were the best I've ever made. Had a nice breakfast out at Eggcellence too.
    • Read anything good? I finished Dedication and just started The Lake Shore Limited.
    • Watch anything good? Lots of Downton Abbey and Hotel Transylvania.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc.? I didn't watch even a second of the Super Bowl. I'm so glad football is over.

    • Highs? Liam finally seems to be getting better after a nasty battle with RSV, and the Super Bowl game was exciting for me for the first time ever.
    • Lows? Liam being sick. Puking, feverish, struggling to breathe, needing a nebulizer, sleeping, whining, not wanting to be put down. It started last week and I think we're finally putting it behind us.
    • Eat/make anything good? Brownie Brittle (a store-bought product), OMG DELISH. And Wegman's Coconut Macaroons. I have a problem. Oh, and we went to The Stil for lunch on Sunday - Blarney Springrolls are one of my favorite things ever.
    • Read anything good? Nope
    • Watch anything good? The game. And a bunch of DVR catch-up.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc.? I have lots of pent-up aggravation, but I'll just keep it tucked away. Cranky Dani is cranky.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? It being over. I want a weekend free from sick kids.

  • Highs? DH and I having an impromptu night out Friday night running errands and SB yesterday!!

    Lows? Waking up around 3:30am Sunday morning with an upset stomach that kept me up until 6ish...fell back asleep but it wasn't a deep sleep so I was exhausted most of yesterday afternoon

    Eat/make anything good? We had Five Guys Friday night...hit the spot!  Was light on my tummy yesterday since I wasn't feeling good

    Read anything good? No...unless you count football stats!

    Watch anything good? Some football game was on last night.  It was ok.

    FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc.? Kind of random...I know so many people that went to NOLA for the game yesterday and I'm so excited to catch up with friends and hear about their experiences!

    What are you looking forward to this week? Took off tomorrow for the parade.  Various family members are all going and I'm looking forward to a fun day.
