manic monday
best and worst parts of your weekend!!
Re: manic monday
best - mani/pedi on saturday
worst - being super duper sore from my trainer on saturday am, having to go back to the nail place to get my mani fixed
Best: Celebrating my B-Day and getting some great gifts and great SG all weekend.
Worst: All my family was sick/in a bad mood Saturday at my family B-Day brunch. It took a good hour of determined cheerfulness and silliness by me and DH before the mood lightened and everyone started to have a little fun.
edit: me no type gude.
Best: great riding lesson, getting Christmas shopping finished.
Worst: Massive headache and stress.
Best - We celebrated Christmas with my family Saturday night and had a great time. My SIL and I arranged for she and my niece to come in from OOT and surprise my mom. Her reaction was even better than we had hoped for, and she was SO happy to have them home for the weekend. DH and I celebrated Christmas Sunday morning and "Santa" was very good to me.
Worst - We woke up Sunday morning to one of the dogs and her entire crate covered in poop. We had some serious cleanup, laundry, and dog bathing to do before we could open presents.
best - shopping is nearly complete! And I wrapped everyone's gifts this weekend.
worst - I took a shopping cart to the rear quarter panel of my car on Sat.
I was leaving Total Wine and I look back over my shoulder to see a cart rolling toward me. Then I jumped out when it hit and the guy screams at his wife "I TOLD YOU to hold the damn cart!!!" I did not need to see a domestic go down so I checked it out and there was no damage so I told the guy it was fine and I left.
Call me Kat =^..^=
Best - xmas party with friends, plus dinner with BF on friday night.
Worst - getting food poisoning AGAIN from my fav mexican place
Best: Date night with DH on Saturday night. Dinner at Murphy's was great. I highly recommend the Tollhouse pie. The play "The Santaland Diaries" was hilarious! Also, a freezing bike ride with friends Sunday morning. It was good to get a long ride in. Going to our neighbor's Christmas Choir concert last night.
Worst: Dreading Christmas and the worrying that goes with it (long story, some of ya'll know...), not getting as much cleaning done as I'd like.
Southeastern Cycling
My Nest Bio and Cycling Advice
Best: Dh gave me my Christmas present. He gave me a red mini cooper convertible! I am still in shock. It is so much fun. I also hung out with my Dad and went Christmas shopping for my Mom.
Worst: not applicable this weekend.
Holy moly, that's awesome! Way to go eeeeeva's H! I guess this would be a legit weekend to not have a "worst"!
Best: One of my best friends and her boyfriend were in town this weekend. We went to Aja on Saturday night for the first time, and I thought it was yummy!
Worst: We got an offer on DH's house. You would think that would be good, right? It was insulting. I completely understand about making an aggressive offer in this current housing economy, but this wasn't aggressive, this was insulting. No, we will NOT give away our house. And we will especially not give away our house, and also put in hardwood floors, put in ceramic tile in the kitchen and all the bathrooms, completely re-carpet upstairs (the carpet is fine!), and change all the door hardware to brushed nickel. These people need to put down the crack pipes! I don't think these people even deserve a response, but I guess we are going to respond. Of course, they are not going to be happy with our response. If they can find what they want for that price, then more power to them. They won't even find a foreclosure or short sale for close to that price!
best: hanging out with DH, getting a lot of demo done in the bathroom, and finding a dining room table we LOVE!! so excited to get it the first of the year
worst: the HORRID headache i got saturday...i think i have a sinus infection. i plan on going to urgent care tomorrow...i was supposed to go today, but i need to shower and i didn't feel like getting up early
My Shopping Blog
That is SO awesome!! Mini Coopers are so much fun - I absolutely love the way they drive!
you must perfect the "MINI Wave".
It totally chaps my DH when people don't wave back to him! He has an '07 pepper white CooperS. He loves it.
Call me Kat =^..^=
Best: Saw cirque and got all you can eat tapas all in one day!
Worst: Got a Christmas present from SIL. We will not be exchanging gifts anymore.
Best: good dinner with my brother and SIL and family Friday, gave my cousin's kids their presents and they loved them. Drove around and looked at Christmas lights with DH, and finished our Christmas shopping.
Guess there is another reason my tummy has been so upset for a few weeks, and the heartburn was from changing medicines. I do have to admit, that a VERY small part of me was kinda hoping for a positive. But we do not need a kid right now.
Also, I finally POAS and it was negative! Whew
Worst: Hubby had a upset tummy and horrible headache yesterday. We spent way too much money.
Best - seeing everyone at our party Sat. night, movie and dinner with friends on Sunday
Worst - going crazy trying to get everything done beforehand. MIL arrived on Thurs and didn't leave until Sunday.
Motor on sister! Don't forget to download the MINI app if you have iPhone!
best: holiday dinner with my family at soho, trying to replicate the florentine style steaks we had in florence with DH
worst: realizing that this year, our families each are planning to do xmas around the same time of day so we have to leave one family out and rush xmas with one of the others ( we have three sets of parents). also, i finally find olive bread. i drove all the way to dekalb farmers market to get it...and it was terrible
Adventures of A Girl and Her Apron
Best: Ornament party with friends. Getting my hair cut. I tried something totally different and I love it! Finishing all of my christmas shopping. Running into an old friend at the mall
Worst: DH accusing me of sneaking a peak at my christmas gifts. It took me all night to convince him that I hadn't. I don't even know where they are. I think he moved them himself and forgot...silly boy!
