Decorate This
AW: I'm almost done my Christmas shopping!
Confession: I think I'm going to get out the Christmas decorations this weekend.
Highs - Must have been family picture weekend. Pictures on Saturday afternoon - they were running AT LEAST 20 minutes late, but DD was ok, too. SFIL & MIL came down and finished our windows, fixed our roof, rehung/hung new gutters and put up some Fascia around our house. Great seeing IL's
Lows - Co-hosted a Pampered Chef party with a friend. She brought some apps, but I ended up buying the wine, drinks, more apps, most of the ingredients for the demo app, and having to do all the pre-cleaning , set-up and clean up AND I don't really want anything more from PC. Plus, LO was off-schedule and overstimulated most of the weekend.
Watch anything good? Nope
Eat anything good - not really. The PC woman made some apple tart thing with caramel sauce, but it was WAY TOO Sweet and kind of gross. I think it made me sick
AW - DD is really starting to cruise. She is a crawling maniac. I can't leave her for a second or she tries to crawl onto dog 1 or near to dog 2.
My vents are above.
Confession: I'm glad to have so many activities, but this weekend was SO BUSY. I need a break/nap.
Lows? Not getting enough done around the house.
Watch anything good? We caught up on our shows RH of BH and ATL, Sister Wives, and Tough Love.
Read anything good? No
Eat anything good? I made crab dip for DH, which he loved! I also made a Tropical Bundt Cake for FIL's bday. The family raved about it but it wasn't sweet enough for me. MIL made a sweet and spicy tofu dish that was awesome.
Vents, confessions, AWs? My parents just left and they are coming back for Thanksgiving. They've been up every month since May with the exception of August. I know I b!tch about it a lot but it's so frustrating. There's no room for them at my sister's (they have 4 people in a two bedroom condo) and we feel bad telling them to stay in a hotel. I love my parents but I don't like them staying with us. Especially when Mom cranks the heat up to 75!

Someone's getting a little brother!
Oh this is me, too. I know he is just trying to help but I get really defensive and take it personally. I know he doesn't mean it like that but I *really* don't have any idea of what to do with the stuff. I feel like a hoarder sometimes!
Lows? - Did not do any of the work I brought home on Friday.
Watch anything good? - Certainly not the Giants game yesterday!
Read anything good? - Nope!
Eat anything good? - Nothing out of the ordinary. Drank two pony beers on Sunday, which was out of the ordinary for me. I hardly ever drink alcohol.
Vents, confessions, AWs? - Really productive weekend on the house front. Primed and painted our guest bedroom. Primed the mancave. Things are starting to get very colorful in our house!
Highs? Lots of family time with DH & DD on both Saturday and Sunday.
Lows? DD refused to nap and, as such, was driving me insane. I was ready to list her on CraigsList and stick her on the curb on Saturday night.
Watch anything good? I caught up on all of my TV that I missed last week. I couldn't pick a favorite, but man was I bummed that Revenge wasn't on. I LOVE that show.
Read anything good? I finished Beautiful Days, the second in the Bright Young Things trilogy by Anna Godbersen, but it was only okay. I started Destined, the ninth in the House of Night series by P.C. & Kristin Cast. So far it's good, but I'm only halfway through, so I'm reserving judgment.
Eat anything good? A fruit tart from Wegman's on Saturday night. Those things are awesome.
Vents, confessions, AWs? I got nothin'.
Check OnDemand and/or Hulu for the Bones episodes. I've been pleasantly surprised by how many shows I can watch via those two venues!
Highs? fun night out w/ friends on Saturday
Lows? This annoying cold was almost gone and then came back w/ a vengence on Sunday. I'd really like to be in bed still, but there are workers at my house today, so no point staying there.
Watch anything good? Not really
Read anything good? I'm taking a little reading vacation, so no
Eat anything good? Awesome steak dinner w/ parmesan risotto on Saturday at Stanford Grill
Vents, confessions, AWs? I'll be very happy when the stupid kitchen reno is done. DH has zero patience while its going on and its getting very old trying to remind him to calm down all the time. Also - the two adult women that work for me need to learn to chill the f* out and remember this is just work, not an episode of Dynasty.
Highs? I was in Jacksonville from Thurs-Sun and it was amazing!! The weather was great, and it was good to see all of my friends. I also went to a wedding on the water on Fri night and it was beautiful!
Lows? not feeling well after getting back to MD
Watch anything good? Not really, was out taking in the 75 degrees and sun!
Read anything good? Not really
Eat anything good? The food at the wedding was good, and then I went to some of my fav places down there
Vents, confessions, AWs? I hate my job, well, I think it goes beyond hate, I loathe, detest it!
I really didn't want to come back to MD knowing I had to come back to this job.
