Morning!
Happy Monday! How are you all, did you have a good weekend?
QOTD: What do you and for christmas. If you don't celebrate christmas what would you ask for if you did?
Re: Morning!
Hi! We had a great weekend! DH was supposed to be going to a Rally race but the first day the car overheated so no driving for them, he came home Sunday morning
My parents had friends over for the weekend so we went to the International Bazar on Sat with them. Sunday DH was home so he wanted to go again so I got to eat around the world twice this weekend
In the afternoon we went to a wine tasting in the city.
QOTD: I have no clue
I told my Mum that Le Cruse was always welcome in our kitchen, which to get I have no clue!
QOTD: You're a smart lady, MouseInLux. I was going to say the same thing: I want a Le Creuset fry pan or two! I miss cooking with cast iron. Would it be tacky to tell DH what I want directly?
Morning!
Weekend was fun. H took Sunday off work and went with us to have Delta's picture taken with Santa (it was a RSPCA charity thing) and then we went to the "Christmas Markets" It was 34 C out.
Today I got our Christmas tree (fake) and we'll try to get it up at some point this week.
QOTD: I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it.
Good morning. 2:30am here, ugh. Just finished feeding minibini.
Our weekend was pretty good. My grandma came from CA for thanksgiving (she can't travel much due to her age but made the trip basically just to meet minibini, her first great-grandchild!) so we were over at my mom and dad's a lot hanging out with her. She is madly in love with him!! It's so cute.
Amazing fact: she and I gave birth to our first babies exactly 60 years apart. To the day.
QOTD: I want clothes for me (the ones I have are way too big lol!) and things from my baby registry. Hardly anyone bought anything off it so there are still a lot of things I want/need for minibini.
At the moment though we can't buy much baby stuff as he starts daycare next week and we are scraping money together for a second car, because our transport situation just won't work without one. Sigh. Poverty sucks!
Morning everyone! This weekend was really good! Thanksgiving was a hit, then on Friday we drove up to xnickerx's place for poker night. Saturday we came home and lounged around (I've been sick this weekend), and then yesterday we put up the tree! I've also drove DH crazy by listening to Christmas carols all day yesterday...oops!
QOTD: Sleep pants...since I work from home, I wear them when I work, as well as to sleep in, so I need a lot of them! But...some nice things from le Creuset would be fantastic as well!
Morning! I'm getting a cold. Blah. H's mom is coming tomorrow so maybe she'll take care of me? hehe. Our weekend was good. We pretty much just relaxed.
QOTD: Well, I bought tickets to the Coldplay concert last night. I think that and a new IPhone will be my Christmas gift from H. This is a dream of mine to see them live and it's coming true IN England. I'm beyond excited.
Happy Monday!
We spent the weekend in Bali. I had a great time, I hope that I get to go back someday.
This morning I did a lot more packing. I'm headed back to the US tomorrow night, so I have been trying to decide what items must come with me on the flight and which things can be shipped and arrive who knows when. I am pretty excited to go see my family!
QOTD: H and I don't really buy each other gifts for Christmas since we usually buy the things we want anyway. My mom will probably get me a Bob jogging stroller for Christmas, which I am super stoked about. I will probably buy myself an elliptical next weekend and call it my Christmas present from H. I am getting too pregnant to run, but not too pregnant to elliptical, and I want some form of exercise for the next 7 weeks!

Morning everyone! Gah, I feel like I've been horribly neglectful of the IN board lately.
Anyway, over the weekend we left Aurelia for the first time while we went to see a movie we had free tickets for. It was Breaking Dawn. Really not the best movie, but it was nice (and strange) to get out without the baby for the first time in a month.
Today I'm having a friend over for a little bit then meeting up with my parents in the afternoon. They're leaving this Wednesday and it's going to be so strange to not have my mom around anymore since she's been here for the past two months.
QOTD: I havent' asked for anything yet, but I want more clothes that i can use while nursing.
Hola. I just detoxed this weekend, since we were back in Edinburgh last week for graduation and celebrated hard.
QOTD: I want, and know I will get, a Norwegian waffle iron:
Morning!
Today is cleaning and grocery day.
Had a great weekend. Went to a friend's birthday party on Saturday night and ended up in a bar that does Drag shows until 4 am. So much fun, but yesterday was tough!
QOTD: I'm asking for some clothes, mine are getting too big, running shoes and running clothes. We're also getting a joint gift of a Nespresso machine and a microwave.
Good morning! Am totally and completely exhausted after a busy weekend and am running a conference today so there's no rest yet! I think I'm busy every single day for over a week and then go to Brussels for a weekend. December is always insanely busy.
QODT: We don't do xmas gifts for each other either but we usually do an xmas list for his family. we didn't this year though so it will all be surprises! i asked my SIL to get me a giant's long sleeve shirt at Old Navy I had my eye on.

Good morning! I had a good weekend, nothing too exciting :-)
QOTD: I'm asking for a bunch of random stuff, like a laptop desk pillow thing that you can put on your lap when you're using the computer on the couch. and amazon gift cards so I can buy books for my new kindle!
I am getting DH a Lord of the Rings DVD box set, but I don't know what else yet, still trying to figure that out!
Good morning. We had a really nice and productive weekend. Met up with a Nestie from my anniversary board who was in town on Friday night - I love GTGs! On Saturday we had golf and swimming lessons, and I love that I feel like I'm making progress with both. Sunday we did a little mini Thanksgiving at home, had a hot bath, and went to town buying Christmas presents for family and friends. And also some for us. We're going back to NYC next week and we needed to have everything delivered while we were there.
QOTD: Not too much for me, mostly books and a few movies - particularly the Harry Potter box set. We just bought some stuff for the kitchen and a duvet cover in the shopping frenzy mentioned above, but those aren't really Christmas gifts.
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
Ummm, what?! You cannot own a Giants shirt! :-P I'll only allow it if you ask for a Steelers one to go with!

Hola!
I had a good weekend. I did a lot of cooking and baking and I decorated my house for Christmas. Plus, we had some friends over to play cards.
QOTD: I dont know what I going to ask my DH. We exchange gifts on 3 Kings Day so we still have over a month.
The Steelers one was sold out! Also, I have a million Steelers shirts and only a huge Giant's hoodie. I promise, there are reasons for this, still a Steelers fan first!! :-)

Good afternoon!
We had a lovely weekend, the boys got haircuts, Milo had a swimming lesson and we watched the Christmas lights being turned on in our village.
QOTD : I asked for a vintage sideboard {and got it!} and for Matt to paint 3 walls in our flat...still waiting on that one, but he's got over a month
Good Morning! I had a nice weekend. Friday we did a Thai dinner + Twilight night with another couple. I enjoyed the Twilight movie, but more so the yellow curry dinner
Saturday we slept in - very late and bummed around a bit. Then, we went to the dive shop in Brussels for a few odds and ends. Then poked around the Brussels Christmas market, stocked up on Christmas ale, bought a few gifts, and DH got me a pair of Croc boots for my birthday! Saturday evening we dined on Thanksgiving leftovers and enjoyed our Belgian beer. Sunday morning we were up early as DH caught a train to France. Unfortunately he is out of town all this week and will miss my bday 
Before he left, he gave me my present - the ENTIRE SERIES of Full House. I am so excited! I spent the rest of Sunday watching Full House, and probably that's all I will do this week.
QOTD: Hmm...what do I want for Christmas? If I could have anything right now it would be more decorations for our apartment - picture frames and "always kiss me good night" to hang over our bed. DH and I said we're not really doing presents this year, but I picked him up a couple of small presents anyway. I want something under our tree! haha
We're headed to the Maldives on Christmas Eve!
Ha ha, I'll let it slide this time :-P I have no doubt you still bleed back and gold! :-P

Hiya! Busy weekend over here. We had our Thanksgiving feast for our kiwi friends on Saturday night, and then had a 2 year old b-day party for our friends' daughter.
QOTW: I am racking my brain trying to figure out what to get DH for Christmas. Problem is, it's his b-day on Saturday, and I have no ideas for this nor x-mas. He is one of those people that just gets whatever he wants when he wants it, so it doesn't leave much for a wishlist. I want an iphone, but I won't get one b/c they are too expensive. So, I think I would like a zipper foot for my sewing machine.
