Re: How was everyone's weekend?
Congrats Coley! But I'm vetoing Hayden right now. No.
Ahh Groomz, your friend sounds like my sister. Who is a mother. To a 17 year old.
My weekend was successful! I went to about 10 different furniture stores before I succumbed to the worst headache in the world and blindly picked something I hope won't suck. On the bright side, I should actually have couches before the Winger family arrives.
Sunday was a baby shower for a friend and it was most excellent. There was so much food and I made the mistake of attempting to eat it all. I laid on the couch after I got home and tried not to move for fear I might explode. I am no longer a roux or a bechamel sauce virgin (although don't ask me how to pronounce "bechamel"). My buffalo chicken mac & cheese did not kill anybody and most of it was gobbled up so I declare it "not gross". I got to hold and bond with Seanicorn for quite some time and he nommed my hand a bit. There were a lot of great parts to the shower, but my favorite was my friend yelling out "Rape sack!" just about the time everybody got quiet.

Congrats on the peen Coley. Boys names are hard. It's not coming easy for us.
I will totally post pictures (much to K's chagrin) once they are available online.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Thanks Cali! I agree about Hayden, specifically because I immediately vetoed anything that has a "y". My H keeps using it, so I keep telling him "it's on the list". That really means "I'm keeping you happy for now but in the end, I win".
What kind of couch did you end up with? Were you looking for sectionals or specific colors?

I needed two loveseats for my living room. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, but what I ended up with should be fine. It's sort of a camel color with rolled arms. Pretty generic. Like this but a loveseat:

I like Emmett.
We are couch shopping too Cali. We may steal yours if we like it. That is how desperate we are.
My weekend was good, for a weekend in the hospital.
On Saturday I was allowed 30 minutes of wheelchair time so my H brought Lucy up to see me! I hadn't seen her in almost 4 weeks so it was very nice. Saturday night he came back with dinner and we hung out. Sunday I had visitors for most of the afternoon and the H again at night. Yesterday I was allowed more wheelchair time so we went outside and then we came back in and snuggled and napped. It was nice since we can't sleep together anymore.
Last night I did a lot of work to tie up some loose ends just in case I have the babies today.
This was another contender:
I liked that it didn't have cushions on the back, but I wish it had rolled arms like the other one. Oh well. I think I'll be happy with what I chose. I just need to see it when my head isn't throbbing and making me want to die.

I like the first one becuse of the rolled arms and it looks more inviting. I think it would be uncomfy without back cushions (unless these are for a formal, don't sit in them that often room).

Congratulations Coley! I am also on the Emmet couch.
And I am on the liking Cali's couches couch. Nice shape, and the color is a pretty neutral.
The nerve!

Congrats Coley. Put me on the Emmet couch too. With rolled arms.
Congrats on the couch Cali. You should name it Emmet.

It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
congrats on the boy, Coley!
I want new couches but H is a stick in the mud and says ours are just fine until we move into another house at some later date. boo.
our weekend was good--I did a lot of sleeping, nursery/baby stuff w. H, eating out, a seafood boil at my boss's house with swimming.
And if you're going for the "don't sit on me couches" then I'd name it Mason.

I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
If only I wasn't so utterly replaceable.
Also, I forgot to mention that yesterday I watched part of the Office marathon on TBS. It was a lot of episodes from seasons 3 and 4. I remember watching those when they first aired and thinking they were not as good as seasons 1 and 2, but yesterday I was watching and thinking at least they are so much better than season 6. I'm sad at what The Office has become.
Your buffalo mac&cheese was phenomenal. Dan has asked me to procure the recipe (he showed up at the end to pick me up and was designated group photo taker, for which he was rewarded with leftovers),
Thanks for holding Sean so I could eat! God that was good. I wish we had potluck every weekend.
BTW, we tried to go to that diner with the giant pancakes yesterday without you, but it was SLAMMED so we went for Indian buffet at Swagat instead, which was delicious.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
Mmmm Swagat.....I could use some of that in my belleh right now.
I promise not to be a dumbarse next time you invite me to giant pancake breakfast.
Here's the ressypee: http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/main-courses/buffalo-chicken-macaroni-cheese/
I left out the bleu cheese because I forgot to buy it. I'm thinking next time I make it, I'll go with panko instead of regular breadcrumbs. And I'll be sure to use the whole bottle of buffalo sauce. I didn't have a lot left over, but I bet it would have kicked up the chicken a couple notches if I had doused the chicken liberally instead of just the mild sprinkling I gave it post-cooking.

I'm sorry that you got tied up and we couldn't meet yesterday. Please don't feel bad, you couldn't exactly leave a toddler to wait for his parents to come home!
10:30? I'm very happy that we thought to exchange cell phone numbers or I would have closed down that bar.
