I'm awake and at work far too early. DH and I carpooled today, and he has an 8 AM class, so I'm here too!
How was your weekend? What is on the agenda for today?
QOTD: What did you do yesterday while the Nest was down for maintenance? :-)

Re: Happy Monday IN's!
For me it's still Sunday for the next 9 minutes : p
But, I was working. It was a really slow day so I was hoping to pass the time here and on TK, but since they're the same company they were both down. So I made a rule that they're no longer allowed to do maintenance on both at the same time. I posted it on facebook but I don't think they're going to listen to me XP
I just got home from a 7 hour drive and have been out of town since last Wednesday, so tomorrow I'm doing CHORES CHORES CHORES and restocking my pantry.

I'm waiting for DH to get home from a test flight this morning. He bought egg nog while we were out this weekend, so I'm going to put some in my coffee that is almost finished brewing.
We bought a kayak this weekend so I think we might head to another sports store today to look at accessories but we might just end up purchasing them in the States. And since we'll be out and about, probably some errands.
QOTD: I was working on a baby blanket. I must have been stressed or something because the stitches were tighter and it was way smaller than the other one I did. I just unraveled the whole thing. Gah!
Hello! I'm up early and enjoying my tea before work. I don't know why I'm nervous about returning to work, but I am. H will be gone for 4 days for work as well. This weekend was alright, but I ended up taking a sleeping pill last night and going to bed at 8 to try and get my sleep cycles back on the right hours. It worked but I woke up at 5h45
QOTD: watched H play football and read my book (Book 4 of Game of Thrones!)
Hello! Today I went shopping for DH's birthday present (his birthday is this weekend). I'm not really thrilled with what I got him (I usually have very original, creative ideas but this year it is just a sweater and a t-shirt). I still have a few days to come up with something to go with it.
QOTD: I was absolutely freezing here yesterday so DH and I spent the day watching movies under a duvet...It was great!
Morning! Our weekend was alright - DH spent a lot of time enjoying DD because she was a in a good mood, so that was a nice break for me. Today I'm going to a funeral, and hopefully the nanny will come this afternoon so I can get some work done.
QOTD: We were at a relative's bday party in Munich, so I actually didn't even know it was down!
I had an early morning today as well. I've been having a ton of super early meetings lately. Afterwards I worked out and did a few things around the house. Now I'm hunkering down to work for the rest of the day.
My weekend was ok, but nothing crazy. We ate out a few times, I went sari shopping, and I watched some of the late college football games on Sunday morning.
QOTD: The Nest was down for maintenance? I was watching college football, eating out, running some errands and hanging out with H.

The weekend was actually pretty good. Saturday DH and I went shopping, got some groceries for my Thanksgiving feast this coming weekend and a Christmas tree, some tinsel and a few ornaments.
Sunday DH said he was going to a used record fair, but then he called me from a posh mall -- I think just to rub it in that he was there while I stayed home.
QOTD: I stayed home while DH went shopping without me. I watched some tv, Skyped my parents, and read a book (The Gentleman's Walking Sitck) and started another (A Death in Norfolk).
Good morning. We had a good weekend, went to Ascot horse racing on Saturday and had a blast. I think we ended up about ?10, which I'm fine with. It was also nice just to get out of London for a day.
Not much new going on today. DH has a work dinner so I may work late to get some stuff done.
QOTD: Yesterday we went to watch Federer vs Tsonga at a tennis tournament, then came home and took a nice long bath before cooking dinner.

Morning!
With the nest down yesterday, I was forced to finish my immigration paperwork.
Today I went and got it all certified and shipped. Then I went browsing for the "Wohoo Honey, you quit smoking" present that H is going to buy me as soon as I tell him about it ;-)
Morning!
DH is home sick today so I'm taking care of him and trying to get him well before Thanksgiving (and at the same time making sure I don't get sick too!)
QOTD: Did my usual internet browsing and job hunting, took the pup for a walk, then decided to go to the pool and read for a bit. DH came home early so I went to the store and grabbed some stuff for soup for him. Put a list of things together for my mom to do when she is in New York.

Morning.
Weekend was pretty awful. We spent Saturday afternoon in the emergency room with W and now H has been in the hospital since Saturday night.
I'm taking W to the doctor in a little bit cause he's not getting any better.
QOTD: visited H at the hospital, read my entire twitter feed, made phone calls

Emily, I hope everything improves soon! Sounds like a rough few days. *hugs*
Had a bad night with babyMadrid who refused to go to sleep and wanted to eat every half hour. This morning my parents are coming over (they're in Madrid for a couple weeks) and we might go out and do some sightseeing. I'm not sure I feel up to that today though with the sleepless night I had. We might end up just watching tv and go for a walk in the park later.
QOTD: My ILs and parents were over most of the day so I didn't even know the nest was down.
Morning! Hope you feel better soon onesly!
QOTD: As we didn't get to bed until 4am, we braved the market & the dvd store as soon as we got up and didn't move again all day. We were back in pajamas by 13.
That's what I'm reading too! Almost finished it last night.
Emily - I think I missed something, what's going on with your family?? I hope everyone is feeling better soon.
QODT: Had a good weekend, met a friend at the gym on Saturday and had a good workout and a lovely walk home and did our Thanksgiving shopping yesterday with DH. It's insane how much food Thanksgiving requires!! Watched football and tried to go to bed early but couldn't fall asleep :-(

Emily: Vibes. I hope everything is okay with your family.
Today I have work and then German class at night. It is going to be a long day.
QOTD: I was watching Buffy.
Today nothing on the agenda. Laundry, cleaning, homework, etc.
QOTD: I was actually traveling (I was in Amsterdam) so I wasn't too upset.
Emily-vibes to your family!
Had a nice weekend. Went to see my BFF and her baby. Also had a girls night on Friday watching movies and drinkin wine.
QOTD: finally unpacked my clothes from XHs house. Donating a lot to charity so I feel good about that. My mom got sad seeing me unpack my old life, I was surprisingly okay.
Good morning. I leave Scotland for good a month from today and depression is kind of starting to set in. BF will be thinking I'm nuts because when I think of leaving, or one of us mentions it, I tend to cry. Ugh.
QOTD: I wandered around a mall and enjoyed the Christmas spirit.
Good afternoon!
I just woke up. Oops. I decided to go back to bed after I brought M to school this morning. I didn't think I would sleep for another 4 hours though!
Hope everything goes ok Emily.
Sorry Meggers, try not to think about it, I know easier said than done. Enjoy your last month!
QOTD: I didn't know it was down. We were away with friends.
Good Afternoon!
I haven't done much today. I have a list; I'll get to it soon
. I have off work today because there is always a week break in between classes. I do have tons of papers to mark though. I'm meeting up with my Tandem partner later for a coffee.
This weekend was pretty good. DH and I relaxed and went to a nice restaurant that my In-laws gave me for my b-day. On Sunday, we went out with DH's boss for dinner.
The most exciting part of my weekend (this is really lame) was that DH hung up a microwave shelf. I now have a lot more counter space in the kitchen. It's the little things...
QOTD: No one really posts on a Sunday, so I didn't miss it much.
