Re: Hump Day Poll

    • What's been the highlight of your week?

    There really hasn't been one so far.  Dinner was good last night - even if we broke a pipe and had a flood while making it.

    • What did you have for breakfast?

    waffles and coffee

    • What was the last movie you watched? Was it good/bad?

    We saw Adjustment Bureau a few weeks ago, it was pretty good.

    • What are you reading?

    Cinderella ate my daughter

    • Any new favorite shows?

    nah - but I wish Modern Family would come back

    • Any whiny Wednesday complaints?

    Plumbing issues at home - old roots, baby wipes and tampons are clogging out main pipe.  I'm annoyed and I feel guilty.  I know I'm not supposed to flush baby wipes, but I really didn't think a few would matter that much.  I'm also annoyed that this is happening and we don't know whether DH will get a paycheck next week or not. 

    ETA - deleted the "What are you looking forward to this weekend"

    Hopefully the weather holds out and we can go see the Cherry Blossoms this weekend!

    • What's been the highlight of your week? Discovering a great new park near us and going there every night for walks.
    • What did you have for breakfast? Coffee, oatmeal with fresh blueberries and a glass of milk.
    • What was the last movie you watched? The Social Network Was it good/bad? It was pretty good.
    • What are you reading? The Things We Do For Love by Kristin Hannah
    • Any new favorite shows? Borgias, The Killing and Body of Proof are all pretty good so far.
    • Any whiny Wednesday complaints? Still no news on the house we put a bid on. Apparently the owner didn't have an estate set up before she passed away and the son keeps blowing off his meetings with the listing agents.
    • What are you looking forward to this week/weekend? Going to the park, taking Gracie to see the Easter Bunny and going to see Happy Days the Musical
  • What's been the highlight of your week?  DH bringing Mia home last night.  Our flight was so delayed on Monday that there was no sense picking her up then, so I didn't get to see her until last night.  I've never been so happy to see her.

    What did you have for breakfast?  I didn't.  We have practically no food because I cleaned out the 'fridge before we went to Vegas.  I'm hitting the grocery store this evening.

    What was the last movie you watched? Was it good/bad?  I'm not sure what it would have been.  I blame technology for my rapidly decreasing attention span.  Sitting through a 90-minute movie feels like eons to me.

    What are you reading? Ugh, the same book I've been reading for months - the third in the Rachel Morgan series.  I don't even know what it's called.  I lost my reading mojo.

    Any new favorite shows? Nope, but I'm looking forward to Top Chef Masters with Curtis Stone starting up!

    Any whiny Wednesday complaints?  Nothing really worth complaining about.  I'm exhausted and I'm starving, both things that are my own fault.  Oh, wait, and my water was grey-brown and full of sediment when I left the house this morning.  I'm pretty whiny about that.

    What are you looking forward to this week/weekend? Getting my house back in order (catching up on laundry, getting rid of random piles of papers, de-cluttering and cleaning) and just spending some quality time with DH and Mia.  We have no plans and I'd like to keep it that way.

  • What's been the highlight of your week? DH and I are putting in an offer on our first house today- super excited and nervous.

    What did you have for breakfast? Cran-orange bread that I baked, infused with cinnamon and oatmeal.  It turned out so good.

    What was the last movie you watched? Was it good/bad?  I think Toy Story 3.  We rented onDemand a few weeks ago.  Not my first time seeing it, I cry every time. 

    What are you reading? The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

    Any new favorite shows? Watching DWTS for the first time in my life, I love it.

     Any whiny Wednesday complaints? Working just about every single weekend in April, it blows.

    What are you looking forward to this week/weekend? O's games with friends and DH.

I thought we were going to tile the shower, but now DH doesn't want me to help with that, so I will have to find something else productive to do.

    • What's been the highlight of your week? - Got some exciting news last night in relation to DH's job (!!!!!!!!!).  This is big, and we've been waiting about a month so far... we're not at the end yet, but we're CLOSE. :)
    • What did you have for breakfast? - Greek yogurt topped w/ a sprinkle of frozen mixed berries
    • What was the last movie you watched? Was it good/bad? - Um, I think it was Devil?  It's been probably 3 months!  We bought Despicable Me a few months back and keep saying we need to watch it, but haven't watched it yet.
    • What are you reading? - Not a whole lot.  I'm AWFUL about reading during the school year.  I just can never focus, b/c I have so much else going on in my head in relation to my students.  I devour books over the summer, though, to try to make up for it!
    • Any new favorite shows? - Nothing too new.
    • Any whiny Wednesday complaints? - WHY isn't it Friday yet?  I'm so ready for the long spring break I've got coming up in a week and a half.  I'm also very disappointed b/c we stopped by Sonic tonight for dinner and my chicken sandwich was clearly old (cold and tough), but we didn't find that out until we'd already driven away (went through the drive-through). :(
    • What are you looking forward to this week/weekend? - The warm weather coming on Sunday!!!  We also may be doing some house hunting. :)
