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.
Vent: my body just hurts, my lower back, my neck, my sciatic.
What are you looking forward to this week? It's going to be a busy week so just getting everything completed and making it through the week and DH's birthday...i can't wait to give him his gift<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home D
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!
Read anything good? No
Comments, FFC's, vents, observations? Not at the moment
What are you looking forward to this week? Sunday we are going to RennFest!

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.
My Goodness...another food blog. Featuring: Macarons from a old post with a photo taken by my mom for a break from my crappy food photos!
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.
