Manic Monday
Best and Worst parts of your weekend.
GO!
Re: Manic Monday
best - I got my DH back! And mrBAMF's trip could turn out to be possibly more lucrative for us than I thought. He has a very positive west coast lead that could take us out of Atlanta.
He needs to apply 1st, of course, but this could be such a huge opportunity for his career. And it would make him so happy. And they're a very nepotistic employer... hmmm....
worst - the heat. ZOMG it was miserable hot. UGH.
Call me Kat =^..^=
Best: Awesome bike ride Sat. morning, dinner w/DH Sat. night at a new restaurant
Worst: Migraine hitting Sat. night and continuing until now.

Best- DH's company picnic and winning free movie tickets and an ipod! Then there was a friend's birthday party which was a lot of fun too!
Worst- not much sleep, upset stomach issues, and the desire for about a week without people which will not happen anytime soon.
Best - Spending QT with DH most of the weekend. We went to the mall Saturday and I got everything I've been needing to pick up (bras for the gym, some awesome Philosophy moisturizer, clock for the bathroom, etc.). We had fun watching "Hot Tub Time Machine" Saturday night.
Worst - DH getting sick yesterday. Poor thing. Not getting as much done around the house as I would have liked, but at least all the errands were taken care of.
Best: Getting a lot done in the baby's room on Saturday--there's really nothing left to do in there at this point til she arrives!
Worst: Feeling nervous about labor/recovery after watching the second half of the childbirth video.
best: finding out that i'm getting a macbook pro!
worst: my stomach feeling off all weekend
Adventures of A Girl and Her Apron
The Best: being in Atlanta and seeing that this is a nice city. Things are working out so far. I think things could work out well while we are here. The restruant we went to with H's boss and wife, really good.
Worst: Very tired. a little home sick, H and I got a little heated in an argument about all of this, I am not good at change and this is alot in 2 weeks.
Post a restaurant review! We are all looking for new, yummy places to eat!

best: getting the 2 upstairs ceiling fans changed out, and getting a sweet new vanity for the upstairs bathroom for a great price
worst: finding out BOTH fans upstairs were hung with pieces of 2x4, no electrical boxes, and electrical tape connecting all the wires...it sucks that our home inspector couldn't point out the issues we've had with house.
My Shopping Blog
Best: Had the sampler platter at the Dessert Lady with friends in Orlando. Amaaaaaazing.
Worst: Driving back and forth to Orlando to pick up the in-laws. I hate, hate, hate riding in the car.
I know people love to tell horror stories, but my experience was actual great, nothing unmanageable, and I was induced! For me, the recovery was more gross than painful. I hope you have an awesome experience. It is such an exciting time, and I just get so excited for people about meet their babies
thank you, that's great to hear--I'll take gross over painful anyday!
best - throwing a baby shower for my best friend
worst - flying home yesterday knowing i had to come to work today after being off work for almost a week!
Best: DH and I being photographers for my friend's Mom's wedding. The bride and groom are in their late 60's it was great to see them so ridiculously happy. Also went to the Sweetwater brewery tour.
Worst: The heat. I wear dresses in the summer and being a photographer in yesterdays heat wearing pants was hard.
Best: going to the Braves games Friday night and having a good time with a friend. Too bad we lost.
Worst: Not getting to bed until 3am Friday night, and it wiped me out for the rest of the weekend. Man, I'm getting old!
Best: We joined the zoo
We live right by it, and want to use it as a safe and fun place to walk/entertain the baby. Can't wait to go back when it is a little cooler 
I also found out that my dad, who lives in Africa, is going to make it home to surprise my Grandpa at his 90th birthday party. I will finally get my "4 generations of 1st borns" pic!
Worst: When we got back from the broiling hot zoo, DH and DD were both hot and cranky. They both were better after a cool drink and a nap!
Best - We got a lot more unpacking done and I got BF to finally start getting rid of some of his things that he's been holding onto for years (i.e., clothes from high school/college....he's in his 30's mind you)!
Worst - I got a sun burn from working outside!
Best - My dad is in town for a week to help us with a multitude of projects, including getting the nursery done (will post pics soon!)
Worst - Debating (not quite arguing) with DH our time line for getting another dog. The shepherd passed away 10 days ago and DH seems to think we need another one like yesterday.
Also, there is no AC at work until THURSDAY b/c of maintenance
Best: getting farm fresh peaches with DH yesterday afternoon
Worst: developing an ear infection and having to go to the doctor this morning
Best- getting a lot of cooking done
Worst - having a bad stomachache, and missing BF like crazy.
Best: Finally coming home after clinic.
Worst: packing all my junk and unpacking once I got home. I HATE that part!
