Re: How was your weekend?

  • Highs - Did some around the house organizing projects and went to brunch with friends.

    Lows - Missed knitting and did not get as much done as I would have liked.

    Eat/Make anything good - I had eggs with smoked salmon and dill with creme fraiche, grits and buttermilk biscuits at Victoria Gastro pub on Sunday .

    TV  - We are watching Misfits on hulu (It's a British show).

    Loving the cooler weather, I just wish it were sunny instead of overcast.

    Going to Pgh for the Annual Give a Cheer charity event in honor of my BIL who died  3 years ago. It benefits USA Cares.

    ETA: DD is now 36 weeks 1 day, so she has spent almost as much time out in the world and she did "in". (She was born at 36w2d).

    • Highs? Seeing old friends and napping this weekend.
    • Lows? The rain. It ruined our weekend plans of roasting marshmallows.
    • Eat/make anything good? Not really.
    • Watch anything good? The Ravens game last night.
    • Loving or hating the cooler weather? Hating it because I don't really have any tops to wear.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? NT scan on Wednesday and Annabelle's Birthday on Friday.
    • Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? My little girl turns 2 on Friday. How did that happen so quickly? I remember like it was yesterday and she was this tiny baby.

    • Highs? Getting together with friends (some I haven't seen in a long time), haunted house and picking apples.
    • Lows? Can't really think of anything except the rain Friday night sucked when I had horses to feed and groom.
    • Eat/make anything good? So many delicious fattening foods this weekend - apple fritters, cherry pie, apple donut and bbq.
    • Watch anything good? Dexter!!!!
    • Loving or hating the cooler weather? Love it!
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Our home inspection Wednesday - I'm so nervous and excited.
    • Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? I love how much my DH does around the house but every.single.time he does laundry he always forgets about it and I get stuck emptying the dryer and folding which IMO is the worst part of laundry.
    • I'm also really excited that I found that Trader Joe's sells Chai Latte mix. Before I was ordering it off the internet so now I can fuel my addiction easier.

    • It was really good 
    • Highs? DD sleeping in past 8 both mornings, but I also feel bad b/c maybe she's overtired.  We did go to Laurel on Saturday and DD loved the pony rides and she was so good and confident on them.  It was adorable.
    • Lows? the cold
    • Eat/make anything good? Not really - good brunch @ Silver Diner
    • Watch anything good? Watched Bridesmaids on Saturday night - very funny - also portions of various Winnie the Pooh movies
    • Loving or hating the cooler weather? Its a little sudden, but OK.  I need to get some gloves and hats for DD
    • What are you looking forward to this week? This weekend
    • Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? I'm annoyed w/ my SIL.  My niece's bday is Thursday and I've asked SIL 3x now when she's going to have her bday party this weekend and she keeps ignoring me.  DD has invites to 2 other friends parties this weekend and I really want to go to the cousin's party who she loves, but SIL won't make a decision.  I'm sure when she finally responds she'll give me a long song and dance about how busy she is - what with working and kids and a house - and I have pretty much the same issues as her, plus a long commute, so my sympathy is very limited.  YOu can still call me back!!

    • Highs? Ravens game last night was a ton of fun.

    • Watch anything good? Watched the Switch, it was okay.
    • Loving or hating the cooler weather? Love the colder weather except when I have to make decisions like what to wear when I go running.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? DH and I just got invited to a family reunion next weekend.  I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also super nervous because I haven't met most of his family yet.
    • Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? My BIL is acting like a total douchebag and it's really annoying.  Grow up already!

  • Highs? Got a lot done around the house on Saturday. Picked up a chair from my parents on Sunday and I'm glad to have that.


    Lows? DH wasn't feeling well on Saturday and he laid in bed all day. It annoys me when he just lays around all day, even when he has a good reason. I know it's not fair of me to be annoyed. DS was up once on Friday night, once on Saturday night, and pretty much all night last night. No bueno.


    Eat/make anything good? Not really


    Watch anything good? Not really


    Loving or hating the cooler weather? Love it!! But I'm not sure how to dress DS...


    What are you looking forward to this week? Nothing really


    Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? I'm sure there are some, but I'm too tired to think of any.

  • Highs? We went to RennFest with my sister's family and some friends that I haven't seen in quite some time. It was great catching up!

    Lows? I did cardio Saturday night, a short run yesterday, walked around all day yesterday, and now my legs are so sore I can barely move.

    Eat/make anything good? I indulged in fried pickles, hush puppies, ribbon fries, and pizza at RennFest. The pickles were to die for. I washed it all down with Beestings - 3/4 hard cider and 1/4 honey mead.

    Watch anything good? Some trashy tv - RHONJ and Tough Love Miami lol

    Loving or hating the cooler weather? It's a little too cold too quick but I'm ok with it. The end of this week should be nice.

    What are you looking forward to this week? A four day work week then going to New Orleans on Saturday!

    Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? I have made a committment to myself to workout every day this week (Saturday-Saturday). I'm headed to the gym soon so I will be 3/3. I'm determined.

  • Highs - DH was in a good mood all weekend!  I was also pretty productive and got all of our laundry done (6 loads...ummm, yeahhh) plus we cleaned quite a bit and hung/moved some pictures around.  Had QT with lots of differnt people over the weekend and it was all grand!

    Lows - Our spare room still looks like a bomb went off.  Oh, and I wasn't overly pleased with the therapist I saw on Friday.  I think I'm going to call the office and switch to one of the other providers there.

    Eat/Make anything good - tried a new Italian place out for lunch yesterday and it had great pizza

    Watch anything good - Caught up on Jimmy Fallon from last week and The Soup was pretty funny this weekend too

    Loving or hating the cooler weather? We've had the windows open since Friday and it's so cold in the house but we both love it!

    What are you looking forward to this week? as of now, nothing...but that's a good thing!  I haven't had many open days on the calendar lately so I like seeing that there's nothing going on

    Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? I need to start back at the gym.  When DH was diagnosed, I had so many things going on that came with it.  I'm still losing weight...but stress related, not workout related.

  • Highs? I had an awesome weekend! Friday: girly trip to the mall with a friend I hadn't seen in forever, a visit with my cousin and an adults-only double-date night with our friends. Saturday we spent all day at the renfest with old friends I haven't seen in forever. I even got to see MrsRemy and her family! DD was utterly blown away by the experience and got to meet a band that she loves. And Sunday was an awesome lazy day aside from the trip to the gym I forced myself to take. Phenomenal; all of it.

    Lows? The rain put a damper on our faire experience. I desperately wanted to stay through Pub Sing but I was wet and freezing and just couldn't do it, so we left around 5:30.

    Eat/make anything good? At faire: Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Fried Oreos, Crab Dip and Soup in a Bread Bowl (after the rain hit). I also dug my beef tips burritos at La Tolteca yesterday.

    Watch anything good? Last night I watched Dexter and Homeland and enjoyed both!

    Loving or hating the cooler weather? I'm generally indifferent, though I was bummed on Saturday.

    What are you looking forward to this week? Ugh, nothing. I have a follow-up with my ortho to see if my stupid foot is healed yet and a court date related to the accident back in March.

    Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? Boast: I am ridiculously proud of a blog post I wrote late last week and the traffic it's brought to my blog has been surprising.

    • Highs? Went to a great wedding on Saturday and then had a fun day at my parents yesterday for my brother's birthday. Overall a really good weekend!
    • Lows? The weather - the wedding was outside so it was kind of cold and icky.
    • Eat/make anything good? omg the wedding food was AWESOME. the bride and her mom made most of it and the chicken tikka was to.die.for. 
    • Watch anything good? Not really
    • Loving or hating the cooler weather? I WILL love it once I have all my fall stuff out.  Right now I dont even have any closed-toe shoes to wear and I'm still in "late summer" mode mentally. Once I make the mental adjustment I'll be fine.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Um going to Renaissance Festival on Saturday!
    • Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc? No

  • Highs?  I had a great weekend and really enjoyed the relaxation time.  We did nothing yesterday and it felt great.

    Lows?  I'm not ready for this cold weather yet.  It happened too quickly.

    Eat/make anything good?  Not really.

    Watch anything good?  I liked the new show Revenge.

    Loving or hating the cooler weather?  I'm not happy with it because it's too cold too soon and of course I'm sick of the rain.  I think I need to get some new clothes and be a bit more prepared before I'm accepting of it.

    What are you looking forward to this week?  Having a long weekend with DH.

    Any comments, FFCs, vents, boasts, etc?  I'm enjoying my time at home.  I'm sure I will get bored after awhile but right now not having to do work or have the stress of my boss is great.

  • Highs? As I said in my intro, I enjoyed all of the great football wins this weekend  (badgers on saturday, packers, AND ravens!) Also went to The Brewer's Art for the first time with DH and some of his classmates. Lows? Was feeling kind of down yesterday bc my whole family was together for the game back in WI. Made me miss home a bit more than usual. Also, I broke out in hives late saturday night, which I think was from the new wine I tried bc I didn't eat anything new at all or change laundry soap =/Eat/make anything good? Made a pretty easy vegetable soup and sourdough bread. I also made a very simple but delicious applesauce. We both loved it.Watch anything good? The Dateline that was on on Friday night was pretty interesting. And a lot of good football. Loving or hating the cooler weather? Love, love, loving it. Fall and winter are my favorite seasons. What are you looking forward to this week? Officially starting my new job on Wednesday. I have been there doing some orientation things, but now I'm officially starting.  I'm extremely nervous seeing as it's my first full time RN position, but excited to be busy again.
