NER: Highs and lows of your weekend?
My highs: My Aggies won (DH took Marisa out to play so I could watch undisturbed), and we went out for super tasty burgers Saturday night.
My low: Friday night. Marisa threw up all over her crib. The sheet, her pillow, her 2 eeyores, her bunny lovey, her 3 blankets (she MUST have all 3--per her, not me), her bumper. Everything was covered in CHUNKS. (Sorry--gross, I know)I had to remove it all, rinse it in the bathtub, remove the chunks that were too big by hand. Oh, all at 1 am.
That's a smell that'll wake you up fast. 
How 'bout y'all?

Re: NER: Highs and lows of your weekend?
Oh, Kate, that Suh-ucks.
High: Sophie finally "gets" peek-a-boo, and laughs when we play. It's really the first time she's laughed more than once or twice at a time. It's so super sweet.
Low: We went to a birthday party for our goddaughters, and it should have been fun, but Sophie had a major major meltdown. I've never seen her scream so much, like, totally inconsolable. We just had to wait her out. I thought she'd fall asleep eventually, but she didn't. She just calmed down on her own. It was so bizarre and painful. But, whew, we made it through it!
My highs: I took two OLD (like 40 years old) lamps that I have had for five years at least, repainted them, rewired them, and bought new shades. Now I have two very cool new lamps!
Lows: Hubby and I FINALLY had a day off yesterday for the first time in three weeks, and he had to go volunteer alllll day. Ah well.?
Poor Marissa.
Any new Sophie pics, mrstlcs?
And Jaime, post pics of the lamps! I'm impressed with your creativity.
Low: Got some heartbreaking news.
High: Came to know some awesome people even better on Saturday, and they went from being friends-of-a-friend to *my* friends.
Low - I burned the chicken I was cooking for dinner...just totally screwed up...I was trying to braise it but didn't have enough liquid in the pan and coated the bottom of my pot in flecks of carbonized garlic, shallots, and chicken bits. It's soaking now, I think it should be ok.
High - I didn't feel like cooking after that, so we ordered and just ate the best damn Thai food I've ever had. Yum.
Sorry to everyone for the lows! ?Brookles, I'm very sorry about your news. ?:(
High: ?Kittens! ?
Low: New kitten Tucker has thrown up twice. ?I am worried about him, but he's going to the vet tomorrow. ?It's been a good three hours since he last threw up and he seems to be keeping down food. ?Wet food seems better than dry for him, which I read could be the cause. ?I'm just feeling like maybe he should go to an emergency vet, but DH says to wait it out. ?He's probably right.
Highs: spending time with H. Making real preparations to leave.
Lows: realizing this may be my last weekend here. Realizing it may not be my last weekend here b/c my paperwork is still stalled. Purchasing my own ticket to leave b/c I'm not waiting any longer. Stressing about making preparations to leave not knowing whether I'm going to be able to ship my stuff or not until after I leave.
highs: spent some quality time today with the hubs; he came to my office and we worked on a project together, then had a nice dinner out and saw Eagle Eye.
low: spent all day yesterday recovering from Friday's migraine and killer back ache, and had to bail on not one, but TWO parties last night.
High: hard to pick - productive Friday, lunch with a hs acquaintance (yes, another Hautian in the city!) on Saturday followed by making playdoh with my friend who's a speech pathologist, then meeting my Sunday school girls, lunch with the 20s/30s group... and then seeing a sorority sister I haven't seen in nearly 2 years at an alumnae event last night.
Then staying up last night with DH to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up (which specialty, that is. The 'doctor' part is a must, especially at this point).
Low: waking up this morning and realizing it's not the weekend anymore.
Vomit - helps kill the baby fever.
Is Marisa ok?
?
Highs: We had an amazing weekend away in Germany!
Low: DH left the lights of the car on for 24 hours, drained the battery, and we had to wait three hours for the service guy to come give us a jump. ?We were therefore three hours late getting home yesterday.
I am sorry for the lows!
Highs-spending the weekend with hubby and looking for a new home.
lows-it was actually this morning-finding my car had been broken into. The high side of that was that there was nothing missing except for a few coins in a little hidden drawer in the car.
Aw, sorry about the lows you guys
Low: my family couldn't come to town for my shower because of the stupid gas shortages, so I didn't get to see my grandparents or my aunt and cousins who I was really looking forward to seeing. They literally had NO gas in their small mountain town and didn't even have enough gas to get to the airport in the next town!
High: my brother and SIL did end up making it and drove 12 hours, most of it in the rain and at night, just to come see me and come to my shower -- even though they had to turn right back around so my brother could be back at work at 6 am this morning. I was really touched that they came and so happy to see them. Plus my shower was tons of fun.
Another random high: I've been working for months on DH's business website, trying to get it ranked higher in Google. It was at 141 for my main keywords a month or two ago - now it's on the first page at number 4! yay!
Semi low - still no baby! but I've been having these apparently pre-labor pains for almost 2 weeks now! ugh!
Lows: Nothing terribly bad happened, but the weather really sucked this weekend. It's been raining here since Friday afternoon.
Hmm... it was a pretty average weekend all around.
Highs: I made manicotti, slept in, and watched the season premieres of Family Guy & Desperate Housewives
Lows: Football season.
