Good Morning!

Oh the joys of home ownership in the fall.  We spent a good hour raking leaves on Saturday and filled 7 leaf bags, only to have it rain on Sunday and have our stupid tree finally decide to drop it's leaves.  Grrrrrr.  I think I'll get a leaf blower.

We didn't do too much this weekend.  We went shopping for flooring on Saturday and have likely found what we'll go with (I said that before, but this is even better).  We've got one more store to look at, but hopefully we'll have hardwood down before Christmas!

How was the weekend for everyone else?

Re: Good Morning!

  • Good morning!

    My weekend was great! I had choir on Saturday morning and did a wee bit of shopping on the way home. Sunday was the usual - church, and grocery shopping. Other than that we didn't have anything else going on; it was sooooo nice to stay home and do nothing.

    Last night I made rebaann's sweet potato souffle and man was it rich! Super yummy but definitely a special occasion food.

  • We had a laid back weekend, and caught up on some sleep.  We tried to do some shopping, but apparently I am a magnet for the most expensive items.  And since a Dior handbag and Burberry coat aren't in our budget right now, I came home empty handed Crying 

    I did get a much needed haircut though, so the weekend wasn't a total loss.

  • This weekend was good.  Saturday I worked a half day and then did lots of running around.

    Yesterday was my 5K race and I did pretty well.  Finished in 26:17 which was good enough for 3rd in my age division and 18th woman overall.  It was so cold and windy!  After that I went back to my friends house and we had Tim Horton's Hot Chocolate Supreme.  The rest of the day was pretty lazy.

  • I spent most of the wkd asleep.  When I wasn't napping, I cleaned the house and then yesterday we ran a bunch of errands.  Afterwards I made homemade veggie soup, hummus, and fish tacos for dinner...  yum!

  • It was pretty good.  We made a huge pre-holiday warehouse shopping trip on Saturday morning and ended up getting a really good deal on everything we got.

    Sunday, we donated blood and I got a pedicure.

    Also on Sunday, I went for a monitoring visit and got to trigger last night, so we will be trying IUI #2 tomorrow morning.

    Oh, yeah.  It's a rarely day when I make that outside of Thanksgiving, and then it's usually Easter.

  • Morning ladies.

    I was MIA all weekend, as it was a busy one. Well kind of.

    Saturday morning was filled with packing the boys off and dropping them off for the night with MIL.  We went to a wedding, and DH and I had a blast.  I however decided not to go to the after party, I went home and took advantage of some well needed sleep!  DH went with some friends.

    Sunday we both slept in, which was awesome. I slept until 9:00...I Have not done that in SO long.  DH got up around 10, and we decided to go out to breakfast (at noontime, ha ha) before picking the boys up.

    We will be decorating for Christmas soon, so I just bought a 2nd changing table for downstairs.  Our PNP w/chaning table will not fit in the living room once the Christmas tree is up.  So I am excited to get it and put it together.

     Anyhow, have a great day ladies.

  • Good luck, rebaann!

    Good morning, all. The weekend ended up being just what we wanted it to be--long walks on nice days, gym visits, errands done. Friday night we ordered from our favorite sushi place, Saturday we managed to snatch up some Landsharks, and Sunday was quiet but productive.

    Now onto the week. It's a short one, though. :)

  • Morning, all.

    We spent most of the weekend raking leaves and doing outside stuff. Raynes, I'm jealous of your one hour and 7 bags... we must've spent a good 6 hours, and so far have 53 bags full. (And, like you, it rained yesterday and dumped even more leaves). I'm thinking we'll hit 80 bags this year. (We were at 67 last year).

  • Good luck, rebaann!

    Saturday I cleaned the house like crazy. It looks so much better now though. Then I had some friends over for a wine night. The wine and the girl time were both desperately needed. 

    Yesterday, I had a headache most of the day, so I ended up laying around the house and watch some football. 

  • Good Luck Rebann.

     All your leaf talk is making me glad I live in a loft. Unless i can rake them up and jump in them. :)

    This weekend a mix of good and bad. I had to work this weekend and dog sit my boss's dogs. So I was a little worried. I don't want anything to happen to them while I have them. One of them also decided to poop on my new shag rug. Where Dh didn't see it and stepped in it. Me and that dog are no longer friends. 30  minutes and lots of scrubbing later my rugs is clean.

    In good news we booked our vacation! I am so excited. We are going back to Spain. I can't wait.

  • Good luck rebaann!!!!!

  • Good morning, Ladies. And good luck, Reba! 

    We had a good weekend.  My daughter's HS squad won their League cheer championship, so that was fun to watch.  First time their school has won, so they will get a banner in the school gym.  Fun for the girls to get their senior year.

    Sunday was a big hike, then cooking, football, napping, and more cooking.  I got the lights on the Christmas tree, so now we can put the ornaments on.

    Have a great day, everyone.

  • Good Morning!

    We got a ton of snow on Saturday so the leaves that we blew (highly recommend over raking!) are in a pile under snow. Oops. Hopefully it will melt and we can get them up tomorrow. We also really needed to mow one more time before hooking up the plow. We are really behind since the house was empty for so long so I wish they snow would go away. 

    I saw my niece this weekend. She is just beautiful. SIL is doing better but still having BP issues so they are monitoring her. Hopefully she will go home today or tomorrow and we are all going to take shifts staying over to help her out.

    Holy crap K, how big is your freaking yard??  That's nuts.

    It's not even that big, it's just completely surrounded by humongous trees. Tons of them. It's nice in the summer (tons of shade, cuts down on the AC), but once fall hits, I want to cry.The worst part is we have the most trees in our neighborhood, by far. We more than double everyone else's bags. B/c we're lucky like that.

    For reference: this was a few years ago (before we were done with the backyard). 62 bags and counting...

  • Fingers crossed for you Reba!

    We didn't do much this weekend, replaced what seemed like every lightbulb in the house, unpacked 5 more boxes of books in the office and relaxed. Late last night we decided to pull the trigger and buy our Food Network Food & Wine festival tickets. I love to travel, but I hate leaving the cat home, so I'm feeling guilty today!

  • Good morning! (Good luck Reba!)

    We had a chilled out weekend - caught up on The Walking Dead on Saturday, which promptly gave me nightmares. I'm so not good with horror films.

  • Good Luck Rebaann!

  • Good morning ladies!

    I had a great weekend. Friday night we hung out with my family to celebrate my brothers birthday. It's rare that we are all together at the same time so it was really nice.

    Saturday night we went to a friends house to watch the fight. I had a great time and got to catch up with my friends. It was really nice to see everyone after not seeing some of them for a while.

    Sunday we went to my cousins house for dinner and spent time with her and her daughters. She's separated from their dad right now so it was good just to be there for her. It was still fun despite her situation.

  • Hi everyone!

    I had a 4 day weekend. Thursday, DH and I painted our hallway. We had taken down wallpaper a couple months ago and just now got around to painting. It looks so much better! I also cleaned out and vaccumed my car- much needed!

    Friday- I had an appt with the orthopedic doctor. My hand and wrist have been bothering me for a couple months now. They scheduled a Nerve Conduction Test for Thursday to see if it's carpal tunnel or something else. After my appt, DH and I went out to lunch and went Christmas shopping.

    Saturday- DH went to GA for a golf outing, so I did some more Christmas shopping.

    Sunday was the Jags game. Man, what a freaking way to end the game!

     

    Good Luck tomorrow Rebaann!

  • We had a pretty laid back weekend...lots of yard work as well, but got all the leaves taken care of, put away all the lawn furniture, and cleaned up the gardens.  The rest of the weekend was a bunch of cooking and baking.

    Then I woke up this morning and tweaked something in my neck...so I've been walking like a robot all day, and I can't go for a run today, so now I am bummed...
