    1) What is the first thing you do when you come home from work (or from being "out" for a while)? Comfy pants!!!! I am usually in comfy pants within 2 minutes of walking in the door. If not sooner. 

    2) What is a typical weekend like for your household? Busy! Concerts and sporting events, or a race/5k. If we don't have tickets to something, we might go for a walk/hike, have lunch out.

    3) What is your favorite thing to go out and do for fun? Most of the above. I love live music, so a lot of concerts. Wine tasting in Napa and Sonoma is a favorite as well.

    Immediately change into my yoga pants.

    2) What is a typical weekend like for your household?
     
    Sports for my oldest, working on our house, laundry, and homework currently
    3) What is your favorite thing to go out and do for fun?
     
    Dinner and movies is by far my favorite because it is so relaxing. We have gotten 2 nights out in 7 months, so to see a brand new movie that was not a cartoon was thrilling.

  • 1) What is the first thing you do when you come home from work (or from being "out" for a while)?
    Hang my keys on the keyrack (my husband would be so proud of that answer) and then usually get my computer out to check my email. I don't have a smartphone... :p

    2) What is a typical weekend like for your household?
    Usually I'm playing a wedding on Saturday, other than that I try to fit in horseback riding and running. We tend to just try and veg out a fair amount and take naps if at all possible!

    3) What is your favorite thing to go out and do for fun? By myself definitely horseback riding, but as a couple I'd say either something outdoorsey (ie paddleboarding or hiking) or fancy dinner/show, I love live theater.
  • 1) What is the first thing you do when you come home from work (or from being "out" for a while)? Take off my pants and bra lol. And then usually start dinner/eat.

    2) What is a typical weekend like for your household? Typically we spend Saturday morning doing yard and house work. We usually done with those around noon and do laundry the rest of the day if we don't go anywhere. Lots of Netflix binges or spending time with family/friends. I do prep work for some dinners for the week or make homemade salsa/etc. and can them.

    3) What is your favorite thing to go out and do for fun? I love to go to our friends' lake house and spend the day on the boat/drinking/grilling out. If not that then just going to dinner and then back to someone's house to hang out.
    If it's just DH and I going out we like to go downtown and walk around. There are usually live bands and/or performers and food/beer.
