Re: How was your weekend?

    • Highs? Finally made it to BRU to check out car seats and made a decision. I also got started on organizing our filing cabinets. It's a huge job, but at least it's started.
    • Lows? DS has another double ear infection. He's doing okay but getting food into him has been a challenge.
    • Watch anything good? Caught up on a couple episodes of SVU and watched the finale from Terra Nova.
    • Eat anything good? Not really.
    • Read anything good? No.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Maybe hair cut and getting my rings resized tomorrow. Otherwise, just the end of the week.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.?

    • After all the time I spent checking the stock of various BRU stores online to find a store that had both car seats we wanted to see and finding none, we decided to wing it and go to BRU in Columbia to see what they had and they had both. Good but kind of annoying.
    • I am annoyed at the number of plaid button down shirts I've seen in my search for tops for DS. The selection of boys' clothes in general is pathetic!

    Decorate This
    • Highs? Got a lot done on the house. Yard is looking better, all four bedrooms and the kitchen are painted and I've painted one coat on the living room/dining room/hall/foyer.
    • Lows? Just tired and sore.
    • Watch anything good? No movies, just caught up on some DVR'd shows.

    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.?
  • Highs? We spent the day at our friends' home yesterday, watching the game and just hanging out. It was a nice, low-key, fun day.

    Lows? Getting sick Saturday morning.

    Watch anything good? Not particularly.

    Eat anything good? Yesterday's spread included onion dip with chips, pizza, a turkey hoagie, fruit, and cupcakes. It was yummy.

    Read anything good? I read the rest of The Daughters series and enjoyed them.

    What are you looking forward to this week? I think I'm going to take DD to see Beauty and the Beast 3D today, which I'm pretty sure will tickle her. The rest of the week: getting to the gym, getting my house in order, and following up on some calls about jobs.

    FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.? Yesterday's discussions with our friends included a lot of talk about a trip to Disney World and I am SO excited. DD's head is going to explode and I cannot wait.

    • Highs? Spending time with friends on Saturday. I really needed a night away from DD/DH. It was refreshing. Yesterday we also went to Michael's a picked up some craft stuff for Annabelle. I love how crafty she likes to be.

    • Watch anything good? The San Fran game was pretty good and the Ravens game was a nail biter.
    • Eat anything good? R's americantiana was yummy on Saturday evening.
    • Read anything good? Still reading this book on my kindle. It's going slow, because I can't find the time.

    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.? Just the normally pregnancy symptoms of wonderful heartburn.Stick out tongue

    • Highs? - the nursery is finished, got my hospital bag packed, everything is prepped for DS/whoever is watching him, etc - finally feeling really READY for this baby. 
    • Lows? - just general end-of-pregnancy achiness and irritability. I'm ready to be done!
    • Watch anything good? - DH and I randomly turned on Date Night last night in demand and thought it was pretty funny...
    • Eat anything good? - mmm DH indulged my DQ blizzard craving on Saturday, so I had a chocolate extreme blizzard. :)
    • Read anything good? - between books right now (and actually, in desperate need of something fun to read, so maybe I'll head to B&N with the gift card in my purse...). 
    • What are you looking forward to this week? - eh, it's kinda a boring week. Hoping I'll find time to go for my prenatal massage... And I wouldn't mind at all if LO decided to show up and make the week more exciting!
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.? - FFC:  2 friends from seminary had their babies yesterday. One was due the day after me, the other wasn't due until Feb 13. This made me REALLY bitter bc I've been walking around at 3-4 cm/80%/-2 station for a week now and I'm still pregnant... Blah. 
  • Highs? Eh, nothing at all. Work has been crazy busy and my energy level is at zero.

    Lows? Nada

    Watch anything good? I'm catching up with The Good Wife

    Eat anything good? Nope. I've been craving fruits and that's all I've been eating

    Read anything good? I'm re-reading a Tess Gerritsen book

    What are you looking forward to this week? Friday

    FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.? I can't wait for my husband to get a job so we can start house hunting. I'd rather do it before LO arrives rather than after. Also, my anatomy scan is next week. I'm really excited to see her wiggle around.

  • Highs? Visiting family, seeing best friend.
    Lows? Nothing really.
    Watch anything good? Downton Abbey, Shameless, Avatar, Black Swan
    Eat anything good? New Chobani Blood Orange yogurt, SOOO good. Chicken Bryan at Carabba's and went to a tasting party yesterday for WildTree. Some stuff was pretty good.
    Read anything good? No, but I put a few Neil Gaiman books on hold at the library. I'm on a kick.
    What are you looking forward to this week? Getting my holiday bonus, yay! Having dinner with DH, best friend and her hub at The Dogwood.
    FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.? Our bonuses weren't supposed to be very big this year, but I worked really hard to push this one product out before the year end deadline and it made a significant amount, so bonuses were better company-wide because of it :)

    • Highs? I slept a lot. Can't complain about that. 
    • Lows? I got into a fight with my husband over something that was totally my fault. I hate when it's my fault. 
    • Watch anything good? Just caught up on Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, etc. 
    • Eat anything good? I made a really good tequila-lime salmon dish last night. 
    • Read anything good? Nope.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Unfortunately, nothing exciting going on this week. 
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, etc.? I don't think I'm feeling very inspired today. I was in meetings all day long, and now that I"m sitting at my desk, I should be catching up at work. However, here I am on the Nest.
