Re: How was your weekend?

  • Highs?  Keefer and I went to the show by ourselves (normally DH likes to come) and we had a great time together.


    Lows? Getting up at 4:30 am on Saturday.  I do not do well without my sleep.


    Watch anything good? We watched several new shows but nothing is wowing me yet.


    Eat/make anything good? Tilapia and asparagus last night.


    Read anything good?  Nope


    Comments, FFC's, vents, observations?  Our smoke detector went off early this morning.  Not sure what the problem was because it wasn't just a low battery chirp but it only did it for a few seconds.  I hate getting woken up like that.


    What are you looking forward to this week?  Agility classes and finishing my degree on Friday.

    Comment:Just thankful for the wonderful friendships I have, people come and go in your life and it was hard to understand at one time but I can totally see why God shuts the door sometimes because He surely had a better plan that I did.

    • Highs? saw/heard/met Gregory Maguire at the  Book Festival!
    • Lows? they were single tracking the red line on the metro, and it was just a mess.

    • Read anything good? reread Wicked
    • Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? weekend travelers in DC.  they just don't know how to use the metro and it clogs everything up. 
    • What are you looking forward to this week? DH's marching band is competing on Saturday, and my parents are visiting on Sunday

  • Highs? I'm currently in the middle of a three day weekend!

    Lows? I was supposed to fly down to Charleston today with my sister and her kids to have lunch with my parents. However, they were calling for thunderstorms down there so we decided not to go. I was really looking forward to it.

    Watch anything good? DH and I watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Girl who Played with Fire". We enjoyed the first one more than the second.

    Eat/make anything good? We put mozzarella/basil pizza from Costco. It's delicious!

    • Highs? Meeting some of the new rescue horses. I'm also super excited that the two new foals are in my feeding rotation as well. They are so freaking cute!
    • Lows? Headache from too much wine and my Mom messed up our plans Saturday.
    • Watch anything good? I caught up on shows - Modern Family, The Office, The Middle and Parks and Rec.
    • Eat/make anything good? Yummy German food out Saturday night and pastries for breakfast yesterday.
    • Read anything good? Nope
    • Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? I'm so sick of this dreary weather and I just want to crawl back into bed.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Finally getting a haircut and watching new shows.
    • Highs? DH and I painted our first room! It's so bright blue it's not even funny. Clearly we're over compensating for our years of living in colorless rental houses.
    • Lows? Did a difficult 17 miles on Sunday morning.  The humidity was brutal and my Camel Bak rubbed and chaffed on my back. Not pleasant at all!
    • Watch anything good? Giants beat the Eagles! Only reason I wasn't jumping up and down and taunting DH was due to the previously mentioned long run.
    • Eat/make anything good? Had really good sushi Saturday night.
    • Read anything good? Just blogs over the weekend.

    • Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? DH is out of town tonight and I know I shouldn't complain, but I hate it. Again, I can't complain because I have 6 work trips coming up, but it's more fun for me when I travel rather than when he travels!
    • What are you looking forward to this week? We have a wedding to go to on Saturday and I can't wear to wear my favorite purple heels! 
    • Highs? Fun day out of the house all day with DH and DS on Saturday. Low-stress Sunday.
    • Lows? DS melted down by Saturday evening after a day of no napping. Sunday was pretty unproductive and I didn't get dinner on the table until 8pm (though I did cook dinner, which is good because I usually don't on Sundays). DS was also up last night at 3am.
    • Watch anything good? We watched Burn After Reading. It was okay. Brad Pitt and George Clooney so often play such odd characters.
    • Eat/make anything good? Made a variation of chicken cordon bleu that was pretty good.
    • Read anything good? No.
    • Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? DH has been in a p!ssy mood for the past few days and I'm getting tired of it. Also, I had a horrible morning. I forgot something and had to go back home, then had to take a short detour and I was so mad that I screamed something, then felt awful for screaming with DS in the car, so I cried. And I got 4 nonconsecutive hours of sleep last night and it's Monday. Somehow I got to work exactly on time so that is a huge bonus.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Tomorrow when I can hopefully get new contacts and stop wearing these effing glasses!!

    • Highs? Riding the train and carousel at the park w/ DD and DH and then lunch
    • Lows? the weather kinda sucked
    • Watch anything good? Yes - we had HBO this weekened so I watched both Paradise Lost documentaries back to back
    • Eat/make anything good? I made split pea soup last night for dinner - it was pretty tasty
    • Read anything good? I just started "The Corrections" last week - its pretty good
    • Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? My mom's birthday is this Friday.  Yet again, despite the fact taht my sister and father live with her full time and neither one of them have jobs or any actual acitivities, guess who will end up coordinating celebrating her birthday?  Not that its a big deal or a lot of work, it would just be nice if one of them could initiate something for once.  I'm annoyed that my friend who is a SAHM had to reschedule/cancel dinner on me for tonight.  I'm not really sure why her husband can't drive/pick up her kids from activities every once in awhile so she can have a life. 
    • What are you looking forward to this week? DD's friends bday party this weekend and Clark's Elioak Farm.  I think it'll be really fun to see DD and her friends enjoy themselves.
    • I have an AW too - we picked tile for our kitchen/bathroom/foyer out this weekend - we pretty much agreed off the bat and it came in WAY under budget and its in stock, so we can probably get it installed in the next week- two weeks.  Once that's done, the major parts of this kitchen reno are done and we just need to paint and do the trim work.

    • Highs? I went to my friend's daughter's baptism yesterday and it was so good to see her and her family.

    • Lows? Not really a weekend one, but Harley is having surgery today and I'm freaking out about it. I cried all the way to work after dropping her off this morning.

    • Watch anything good? Not really. I DVRed the Charlie Sheen roast and it wasn't as good as I thought it should be.

    • Eat/make anything good? we went to dinner at Argia's in Falls Church, VA for the baptism dinner and it was great!

    • Read anything good? Just my book for grad school ;)

    • Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? I just want to leave here and sit at the vet and wait for Harley, but I know that won't get me anywhere. I know she is in good hands, it just freaks me out!!

    • What are you looking forward to this week? I'm leaving on Sat to go to Denver for 5 days for work. Can't wait!!

  • Highs?

    There were several - my neice had her first birthday and her version of eating her smash cake was HILARIOUS.  She kept delicately using one finger and dipping it in the icing and then licking it.  Eventually she graduated to leaning forward and taking tiny bites out of the edge, but she refused to smash it.  I tried to "help" and she screeched at me the second I reached toward her hand.    I even designed the thing to be spectacularly smashable.  But no dice.

    We also bought a boat!  It was my grandfather's and it's old and it's going to be kind of a money pit and it's too late in the season to really get much use out of it at this point - but DUDE I own a boat!! 

    Lows?

    i learned that my dog+my sisters dog+playing fetch = no bueno.  That sucked.

    Also - the eagles game.

    Watch anything good?

    not really.  It wasn't a very TV filled weekend.

    Eat/make anything good?

    OMG, so many things.  this was the weekend of the ridiculous taco bar if anbydoy remembers me posting the menu for ideas.  Everything turned out awesome.  (modesty?  what modesty?)  H smoked a pork shoulder and grilled a bunch of chicken.  The salsas were delicious.  The cake came out really really good.  Definitely proud of myself.

    Read anything good?

    no time for reading either...

    What are you looking forward to this week?

    should be a fairly uneventful week.  Hoping to start finishing drywall in the bathroom.

  • Highs? All of it. Saturday was family day with a trip to the gym, lunch out, a nap, and an easy evening together. Sunday was my cousin's baby shower with friends and family.

    Lows? My cousin's son at the baby shower. He was a total brat and I had to yell at him multiple times because his mother wasn't doing it and his behavior was ridiculous.

    Watch anything good? Tried to watch Brideshead Revisited but got bored, started Blue Valentine but the disc froze. I did watch 2 Fast 2 Furious and loved it. Oh, and the premiere of Boardwalk Empire!

    Eat/make anything good? My aunt's dill dip at the baby shower!

    Read anything good? I didn't do much reading this weekend, actually.

    Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? I never thought I'd say this, but I've discovered that going to the gym with my husband is one of my favorite hobbies now. We don't even work out together, really, but being there at the same time is great.

    What are you looking forward to this week? Friday! I'm meeting a girlfriend and her son (who I've never met) at Annapolis Mall that morning and doing a double date with friends that night while our kids are all at Parents' Night Out at their preschool.
