Re: Happy Monday!!

  • Our weekend was good - watched the Rangers game (boo) on Friday and then the UT game (yay) on Saturday. One of our best friends got engaged, so that's really exciting! The weekend came to an abrupt halt today - I'm downtown for jury duty :(
  • What, no answer to your own question?  Stick out tongue

    Twice this weekend, I ate breakfast foods at non-breakfast times, and that makes me happy.  (Lunch at Kerbey, brunch at The Steeping Room.)

    Also, I would like to give two enthusiastic thumbs up to the bacon strata at The Steeping Room.  It's super extra tasty. 

  • eh... it was ok.  One of our dogs had a minor injury and had to be rushed to the vet (he's fine).  And we tried (and failed) to finish up our kitchen renovation.  We still have a few cabinet door to hang and then have to add the hardware.  Lots of arguments and tears (mine) over how to do this properly. Ugh.  Almost done though, ending a 4- month process.

  • Sorry for the post and run today!! I just thought I was going to have some time today to play on the internet at work...but I got swamped with work (although I guess that's why they pay me, right?? lol)

    Boo for jury duty YU! hopefully you don't get stuck on a long case or anything.

    Guava - its always nice to have great food even if its not the right time, however I can't join in the love of breakfast lol.

    AustinBride - just be glad your project is almost over. I can completely relate to the stress of DIY home improvement projects and its never fun. Glad to hear that you guys are doing well =) 

    As for me, I had a GREAT weekend. I just hung out at home Friday and watched part of the Ranger's game. Saturday I got my haircut and love the new cut and enjoyed chit chatting with my hair lady and hearing about her little guy she's expecting in March. Then I had a small Halloween part that night with a couple friends.  Went to coffee with a friend of mine yesterday morning (one I hope will someday be more than friends) then went to our fall festival at work with was actually a lot of fun.

  • My weekend was OK.  We went to a wedding on Saturday.  It was nice but waaaay out in BFE.  Sunday we stayed around the house which was great.

    Today (which I guess isn't really the weekend) I got a text from DH that said DD had thrown up.  I guess she has some kind of stomach bug because she threw up 3 more times throughout the day.  We both feel horrible as she's never had a stomach bug before.  Hopefully she'll be over it by tomorrow.

    Oh and our anniversary is coming up and we're currently trying to figure out a way to get to Fogo de Chao for lunch!  YUM!

  • Sil came in town with her bf and 2 friends. She went out every night and it became clear she just needed our place to crash... Which actually took a lot of the "hosting" pressure off. So that was nice. I had a tantrum in pottery barn on Sunday which lead to DH and I doing a new budget that I feel really good about. (the budget... Not the fit). And I'm super proud of my pumpkin carving skills. I had never done it before and it was so fun!! Pip to come.
  • That pumpkin is adorable!
