Highs? We took A to the pool yesterday and she swim with the help of her puddle jumper.
Lows? The storm and the aftermath of no power for so many people
Watch anything good? no
Eat/make anything good? I made this strawberry jello, cream cheese, pretzel dessert. I need to find the recipe ( I think I got it from a blog I follow, but I can't seem to find it).
Read anything good? no
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I hate painting. We are still painting the basement. We have half the room done. DH taped the other half last night and we got one coat of paint on. We hope to finish tonight and then put the room back to together on Tuesday night.
What are you looking forward to this week? We are taking the girls to see fireworks on Wednesday and then I'm off on Friday. We hope to do something fun, most likely indoors or a day at the pool. I'm thinking maybe science center or aquarium.

Highs? Had a nice day with my friend Saturday.
Lows? Still no power! Staying at IL's and didn't get to do the work on the house that we had planned.
Watch anything good? No tv!
Eat/make anything good? Went to Oregon Grille with my friend and had a delicious steak. Also had Main Ingredient last night.
Read anything good? That's really all I've done this weekend - read Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult in like one day and finished Night Road by Kristin Hannah. Now I'm reading Tina Fey's Bossypants.
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I really hate heat and summer in general.
What are you looking forward to this week? Hopefully getting power before the 4th!

Highs? We made it through the storm unscathed, and are so grateful for that. My heart aches for the folks still without power! I cannot imagine The shower I hosted on Saturday went well and I got to spend a lot of quality time hanging out with my friend after all of the guests left. And we made a trip to Soft & Cozy Baby on Sunday where I picked up more cloth diapers. Love!
Lows? Crying hysterically because I couldn't get a snowball on Friday night. Pregnancy makes me insane, clearly.
Watch anything good? True Blood last night. I also caught up on all of the Real Housewives and SYTYCD from last week.
Eat/make anything good? My friend's MIL brought chicken salad and croissants to the shower that were delicious - we've been happily eating leftovers.
Read anything good? Nope, no reading this weekend. I'm a slacker.
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? My husband is a rock star. Between work and spending two nights at the car dealership last week, I got nothing done for the baby shower. On Friday night he helped me knock it all out: vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, mopping, de-cluttering and organizing. All I had to do was asked and he jumped up to give me a hand. I so, so appreciated it, and our house actually looked presentable by the time guests arrived on Saturday. I couldn't stop thanking him.
What are you looking forward to this week? We're going to a 4th of July party at a friend's house and are super excited. We're also going to E's office building in Canton to watch the fireworks in the city, which M is eagerly anticipating. I hope the weather doesn't screw up our plans

Highs? We had power all weekend, luckily, but my work still doesn't...so no work for me today!
Lows? I had 5 freelance articles due yesterday, so I spent all weekend in front of a computer...thank goodness I had power! My husband was also oncall for work, so his phone rang nonstop and he was always in front of a computer, too
Watch anything good? We started watching season 2 of The Walking Dead
Eat/make anything good? Last night, I made scallops, mashed potatoes, and sesame broccoli. Unfortunately the scallops were subpar, but the rest of the meal was good.
Read anything good? I started reading "Secret Lives" by Diane Chamberlain. The ebook was $1.99 on Amazon, so a good deal. I like it so far.
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I really need to focus on my diet this week...I'm just not feeling good about myself lately.
What are you looking forward to this week? Because I don't have power at work, it's a three-day workweek! It would be even better if the power's still not on tomorrow, but I won't hold my breath :-p

Highs? We had a good time at dinner and a show with friends Friday night. On Saturday we spent the whole day with BIL & SIL who were camping out at our house since we had power (and AC) and they didn't. SIL and DH talked me into going for a mani/pedi and I'm really glad I did.
Lows? DS was being a pain yesterday. Constantly doing something he shouldn't, like sitting on the cats. It was kind of funny the first time he did it the other day (because the cat wasn't hurt or bothered) but he tackled our other cat and threw countless tantrums. Oh also, I am so thankful for AC and all that but I HATE the heat.
Watch anything good? No.
Eat/make anything good? We ate out all weekend and most of it was good but it was nothing remotely healthy.
Read anything good? No.
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I was saying to DH that I wish BIL & SIL had been over the day DS was being such a brat so they'd see that he *does* have his moments (days) where he's not well behaved.
What are you looking forward to this week? 4th of July at ILs with my family too. Also, it will be nice to have a day off in the middle of the week!

Cooper81 · July 2012

Highs? We never lost power, went to a fun birthday party, spent some time with my mom and sister yesterday.

Lows? DS gym class was cancelled on Saturday and he was so dissapointed, he kept mentioning it all weekend. We did loose cable and internet Friday night and still don't have it back, but I know it's nothing to complain about when people have been dealing with no power/ac for days now.

Watch anything good? no

Eat/make anything good? DH grilled steaks, I sauteed mushrooms, my sister made some fresh corn last night and it was delish.

Read anything good? you would think I would have taken the no TV/internet time to read, but I didn't. I did go through my House Beautiful and Traditional Home magazines, that was nice.

FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I have a work trip coming up in about a month. I seriously hate to fly, it causes me so much anxiety. I'm looking forward to the actual trip, I just don't want to fly. I actually looked at taking a train from MD to TX, but unfortunately that would take 56 hours...........my anxiety is that bad.

What are you looking forward to this week? they day off Wed.

lauranne · July 2012

Highs? Had great fun with my coworkers at a wedding Saturday night
Lows? I have a cold and an ear infection
Watch anything good? Not really, still trying to catch up on my DVR from when we were on vaca
Eat/make anything good? Nope
Read anything good? Yes! Gone Girl! I'm about 2/3 through and can't put it down
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I just wish I wasn't sick in the summer...it's no fun! I also wish it wasn't so hot out, as the kids are itching to go out and play.
What are you looking forward to this week? July 4th!

EverAfter07 · July 2012

Highs? DH's show on Friday was good, and a few friends came with me, which was nice.

Lows? No power. Sleeping last night was the worst. We camped out in the living room b/c the bedroom is too hot, and it was still awful. And my couch is comfortable, but not for sleeping on for two nights.

Watch anything good? Not with no power Sad

Eat/make anything good? We have natural gas, so I made banana wheat pancakes with almond butter on Sunday AM that were good.

Read anything good? I was able to read on my iPhone, so I read 50 Shades. Holy soft porn, batman.

FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? No power = suuuuuuuucks. That is all. I could live with it, except for the heat. Ohh the heat.

What are you looking forward to this week? AC hopefully. I'm actually happy to be at work b/c of it!!

Highs? The only high is that my parents had power and a pool, so we spent the weekend with them.

Watch anything good? nope

Eat/make anything good? We grilled out last night at my parents and had kabobs and mac and cheese!

Read anything good? I only read my textbook this weekend Class is almost over!

FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I don't have any plans for the 4th and it's sad! For many years (excluding when we were in FL) I would spend the 4th with my friend that passed away earlier this year. I feel like I have a huge friend hole right now and I miss people!

What are you looking forward to this week? they day off Wed and Thurs
