Re: How was your weekend?
Highs? My sister's baby shower and DH coming home from out of town
Lows? Not being able to relax and falling behing on so many chores/projects I need to get done
Watch anything good? We're still making our way through "Lost" and I wanted to watch the new "Jane Eyre" movie but ran out of time
Read anything good? I'm about 5 pages in "One Day" by David Nicholls
Eat/make anything good? Yummy shower food! My rainbow fruit kabobs were a big hit!
Enjoy any fun fall activities? No- I need to go get some mums and little Fall decorations though
Anything you're looking forward to this week? Friday! Nowhere to go and nothing to do!
Any comments, observations, FFC's, vents or boasts? Not really- I'm tired today and avoiding my boss.
- Highs? Finally selling our TV console and freeing up some space in what will now be our "office"!
- Lows? Generally unproductive Sunday.
- Watch anything good? We continued watching Mad Men, which we've been doing for several weeks now.
- Read anything good? No.
- Eat/make anything good? No.
- Enjoy any fun fall activities? No actually
I wish we had taken a walk or something.
- Anything you're looking forward to this week? Eye appt tomorrow. Not looking forward to the actual apt which is sure to be a PITA, but the prospect of getting new contacts and FINALLY being able to take off these damn glasses I've been wearing for 3.5 months. Oh and being able to wear sunglasses again. I would love that!
- Any comments, observations, FFC's, vents or boasts? When I casually complain about my house being a mess and how I try to get things straightened out but never actually accomplish anything, my SIL offers to help me. This is nice of her, I guess, but it's bad enough when DH helps (where does this go? what do I do with this? are we keeping this? where do you want it?). I don't know the answers to any of those questions, so having someone else there hovering is just going to stress me out more.
This is just a random vent. I hate wearing glasses. HATE. I've had to wear them since DS was born because my contacts suddenly didn't fit my eyes anymore. I just hate everything about them and I can't wait to wear contacts again.BFP#1: 01/10, M/C 6w -- BFP#2: 06/10, M/C 5w -- BFP#3: 09/10, DS born June 1, 2011

Decorate This
Lows? The weekend was too short. Does that count?
Watch anything good? We watched Wrecked last night. It was interesting but could have been better.
Read anything good? No
Eat/make anything good? My parents took us to India's last night. One of my absolute favorite restaurants. I love their Malai Kofta.
Enjoy any fun fall activities? No
Anything you're looking forward to this week? My three day weekend!
Any comments, observations, FFC's, vents or boasts? I don't have kids so I shouldn't judge other's parenting techniques. However, we refuse to let our future children live on hot dogs, processed macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, and yogurt. My sister convinces my nephew that he won't like things so he doesn't try them. It's ridiculous.
Highs? I had a nice time at my friend's wedding and loved seeing all of my college friends and seeing my brother and his wife.
Lows? The amount of travel time. Last Thursday there was an accident on our trip and it took an extra 2.5 hours, not fun.
Watch anything good? Nope
Read anything good? Nope
Eat/make anything good? The filet mignon at the wedding was awesome. And the Mexican we had in CT with my brother was great.
Enjoy any fun fall activities? My mom made pumpkin pie.
Anything you're looking forward to this week? Recuperating at from last week and getting settled in at home again.
Any comments, observations, FFC's, vents or boasts? We're so exhausted from being so on the go the last few days and driving 1000 miles that we are staying home today to recover.
Highs? Decorating for fall, and scoring a great deal on some photo frames that I've been looking for, for months.
Lows? None, really!
Watch anything good? Hereafter on HBO- I thought it was pretty good.
Read anything good? Nope.
Eat/make anything good? Saturday was our monthly Trader Joe's stock-up, they have the best meatless asian food, so Saturday night we had vegetable fried rice, egg rolls, and some other stuff that was really good.
Enjoy any fun fall activities? Decorating the house for fall.
Anything you're looking forward to this week? Not really, but next weekend I'm trying Miss Shirley's for the first time.
Any comments, observations, FFC's, vents or boasts? Comment- I'm finally feeling almost back to normal after the car accident. So I guess I'm also looking forward to getting back to the gym this week. FFC- I ordered 4 dresses from Nordstrom for a wedding in October. My plan is to try them on at home, pick 1, and return the other 3 to the store. I don't see this as very different from going to the store to try them on, and it saves me a lot of time because it's hard to find a decent selection in-store of cocktail dresses in my size in styles that I like. But, the charge total was so high that my credit card company's fraud department called me
Yikes.
Highs? Going to the MD Wine Festival yesterday. It was a great day spend with friends, and the weather was wonderful!
Lows? Maryland game
Watch anything good? Not really. I have "The Conspirator" on DVD from netflix, so I need to watch that tonight.
Read anything good? Nope.
Eat/make anything good? Our tailgate breakfast on Sat was amazing! We had french toast, pancakes, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and mimosas!
Enjoy any fun fall activities? Football on Sat
Anything you're looking forward to this week? Not really. I have a jam packed weekend coming up, so this week needs to be slow!
Any comments, observations, FFC's, vents or boasts? Harley has to have surgery next week and I'm very worried for her! The vet says it's not that big of a deal, but wanted it done ASAP! Good luck vibes for H- he has an interview here in MD next week.
