Re: How was your weekend?
Highs? Spending Saturday night snuggled in with DH and DD, tucked away from the cold weather. Our mini-party yesterday was a blast, too.
Lows? It was a bit of a bummer to cancel our anniversary dinner plans on Saturday night, but ultimately it was the best thing. The weather was just wretched.
Watch anything good? Hocus Pocus last night! We also watched The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Great Pumpkin, neither of which I'd seen before, neither of which I loved. But DD did, and they were both for her benefit.
Eat/make anything good? Saturday night's anniversary-dinner-in was Famous Dave's takeout. Oh-so-bad for you, but oh-so-yummy. Yesterday I made peanut butter dip for fruit that I could've just eaten with a spoon. The homemade soft pretzels and mini sandwiches were great, too.
Read any good books? Nope. Didn't pick up a book at all this weekend.
Do any fun Halloween activities? Watched the above-mentioned movies, carved pumpkins, did some crafts, and had our mini party last night. It was a ball.
What are you looking forward to this week? The weekend! Family portraits with Jen Lowe on Saturday and I leave for Vegas on Sunday.
FFC's, comments, vents, etc? Vent: I don't appreciate other people chiming in to tell my kid what to do. There are two people in our lives who do this in the most annoying fashion, and one of them was over here last night. He's great and I love him, and I know he means no harm, but damn is it annoying. When I say "M, go clean up the playroom," and she pauses and doesn't listen immediately, I don't need him to then say "M, what are you supposed to be doing right now?" You're not her parent and you're not her caregiver. DH and I are both right there, so we don't need you "helping".
If we were in the other room and she's doing something that she's obviously not supposed to do, then by all means, but not when I'm in the middle of telling her what to do/reprimanding her/whatever.

Decorate This
I attended the Saints & Sinners cocktail party for work on Friday night and had lots of fun!
Lows?
I had a really bad headache Saturday morning. Additionally, I drove all the way into DC on Sunday morning to watch my friend run back me in the marathon because I knew she would get upset if I didn't ... I stood there for 1.5 hours and didn't see her. She ran right past me.
Watch anything good?
We watched the premiere of Grimm, which we liked.
Eat/make anything good?
I made yummy pumpkin muffins yesterday. I also got take-out pho on Saturday when it was snowing, which was great.
Read any good books?
I finished "Room" by Emma Donogue. I liked it.
Do any fun Halloween activities?
Went to a Halloween party, but it wasn't much fun.
What are you looking forward to this week?
I'm excited for my dinner menu this week. And Top Chef premieres Wednesday.
