Re: How was your weekend?
Highlights? Spending the weekend with the hubby, checking out a few local PA wineries. Picking up Annabelle yesterday.
Lowlights? Cleaning the house yesterday.
See any good movies ? nope
Read any good books? I'm reading "The Sixes" by Kate White it's a really creepy book. I've already jumped a few times at my desk. I guess I shouldn't be reading at work either.
Make/eat anything good? DH planned a picnic lunch for us this weekend. We had about an hour to kill before one of the wineries open, so we found a nearby park and ate our lunch, cheese, crackers and fruit. He definitely got an A plus in my book for creativity.
Looking forward to anything this week? Crab feast this weekend with friends.
Dreading anything this week? Looking for daycare. Our daycare provider has decided to close starting September 1st. I'm still waiting to hear back from one center in the area.
Highlights? - This was DH's first Sunday at his church! It was an exciting day.
Lowlights? - Driving 3.5 hours home from Rehoboth on Sat. afternoon, then turning around and driving 4 hours back to Cape May on Sun. afternoon. That's a hell of a lot of driving w/ a 13 month old!
See any good movies? - Nope... DH and I did squeeze in another episode of True Blood on Sat. night, though. We've been tearing through the past seasons (we caught part of one of the seasons while living in Baltimore, and decided at the beginning of July that we wanted to go through the whole series).
Read any good books? - I'm in the midst of The Help and I'm really enjoying it.
Make/eat anything good? - I had a leftover Fractured Prune doughnut on Sat. morning before leaving Rehoboth, and in my opinion, even leftover FP is better than any other doughnuts.
We also had a seafood dinner from our favorite seafood takeout place in Cape May last night, so I had yummy crabcakes, scallops, and flounder!
Looking forward to anything this week? - We'll be at the beach through Friday night, so I'm looking forward to just relaxing and enjoying being on vacation!
Dreading anything this week? - DH leaves early tomorrow morning b/c he has to work the rest of the week, which means I'll be on my own w/ DS (I do have my ILs here, but it's just not the same, you know?). I'm also bummed b/c one of DH's usual days off, Sat., is gone now b/c he has a funeral to do. I was looking forward to getting home on Fri. night and being able to hang out w/ him and DS on Sat.
... every single day of forever.
Read any good books? re-reading HP5 Make/eat anything good? made and ate "labor inducing chocolate cake" it was delicious but ineffective Looking forward to anything this week?i really, really hope i'm having a baby this week...work is killing me. Dreading anything this week? work and the you're huge/it must be triplets/you look awful comments
Read any good books? still working my way Drowning Ruth Make/eat anything good? I had white pizza w/ spinach Looking forward to anything this week? playgroup on Saturday and then crab feast at BIL's that night! Dreading anything this week? all the work the kitchen still needs. I think tonight we need to move the ginormous fridge across the room - I'm sure it'll suck big time
Lowlights? Because I am living at my parents, I am so far from most of my friends and I just didn't feel like driving an hour to go out, so Sat night was quite boring
See any good movies? Nope
Read any good books? haven't found anything good this summer..suggestions???
Make/eat anything good? I had white pizza w/ spinach
Looking forward to anything this week? It's my last week of Aqua Zumba. I'm loving this class!
Dreading anything this week? I'm dog sitting my aunts dog all week. She is a little yappy dog and Harley just don't know what to do with her. She just stares at her like "why are you barking all the time?"
I was really hoping I might see an post that you had the baby! Praying that LO makes an appearance this week!
Someone's getting a little brother!
Highlights? Having a brunch date on Sunday with DH and then visiting family.
Lowlights? Our drainpipe in the basement backing up. I hope it's just a clog and nothing too pricey to fix.
See any good movies? HP7! And I finished watching The Sopranos on HBO go. Both were excellent.
Read any good books? The latest Sookie Stackhouse book was a page turner.
Make/eat anything good? Steamed shrimp, corn on the cob, baked beans and watermelon on Saturday. SO good. Then going out for Coldstone with DH for dessert.
Looking forward to anything this week? Hopefully not having a stressful week at work. Last week was pretty bad.
Dreading anything this week? Finding out what is wrong with our overflowing pipe in the basement.
thank you, me too!
haha.
Highlights? We traded in DH's car for the sexiest pickup I've ever seen - a Harley Davidson edition Ford F-250. We also got the last few things for our bathroom renovation, which is set to start later this week!
Lowlights? Nothing comes to mind but yesterday's unbearable heat and humidity.
See any good movies? Nope.
Read any good books? I'm re-reading the HP series and loving it.
Make/eat anything good? Just a giant pot of soup with our latest CSA haul. Yum.
Looking forward to anything this week? Our bathroom renovation starts on Thursday. Finally!!! We're also hosting the Baltimore playgroup on Saturday - pray for sunshine!!
Dreading anything this week? Working on a couple of particularly irksome projects at work. Also have a random networking lunch with a partner and some other people on Wednesday that's going to take more energy than I have at the moment.

BFP#2 1/12/12 ~ Missed M/C 8w2d
Highlights? Hanging out with family at a golf tournament, not having homework looming over me for the moment
Lowlights? Driving around a smelly rental car, if I had to choose something.
See any good movies? Yes, The Tourist. At the Little Italy outdoor free film series.
Read any good books? I'm about to start Moonwalking with Einstein
Make/eat anything good? Max's Empanadas and yesterday I made a Pancake-in-the-Oven
Looking forward to anything this week? It's Restaurant Week! Going to Salt with two girlfriends this week.
Dreading anything this week? Not really, it's going to go fast since my manager is on vacay and that means more work for me.
Highlights? Lots of downtime and spending time with family at my Mom's on Saturday. And, this is sad, but - going to Costco. I found lentils and popchips, two things I was going there for!
Lowlights? DD's misbehaving yesterday, DH waking up sick yesterday, and my grandmother telling me that she knew she went to Ireland (in 2004, a trip a bunch of us took together), but that she couldn't remember any of it. It broke my heart. It was the only trip she's ever taken out of the country, and doubly special because of how important my family's heritage is to all of us.
See any good movies? Nope. It's so rare that I have the attention span for a movie. True Blood was AWESOME last night, though!
Read any good books? I finished "Silent in the Grave" by Deanna Raybourn, the first in the Lady Julia series. It was a little long, but overall I enjoyed it and I picked up the next in the series from the library today.
Make/eat anything good? A toffee nut cookie from Panera.
Looking forward to anything this week? I drove down and had lunch with my Mom today, a definite highlight. And I have a doctor's appt Wednesday that I'm excited about. And, of course, playgroup at Rags' house on Saturday! DD's gonna go nutso when I tell her... which won't be until I'm putting her into her bathing suit lest she drive me nuts asking if it's Saturday yet.
Dreading anything this week? Nope!
Highlights? Dinner and catching up with friends.
Lowlights? Today, coming in to issues first thing in the morning.
See any good movies? We really liked Law Abiding Citizen that we watched on Netflix streaming this weekend.
Read any good books? No
Make/eat anything good? My Panera salad last night.
Looking forward to anything this week? Dog shows next weekend.
Dreading anything this week? Ugh, work and the constant stress.
