Haven't done this in a while
How about a poll ladies! It's been a few weeks since we have seen one so let's have some fun today.
What did you do this weekend?
Anything interesting going on this week?
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)?
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything)
Re: Haven't done this in a while
What did you do this weekend? Cooked and cleaned. My parents are up until Wednesday (and staying in a hotel... woot!) and we had them over for dinner last night.
Anything interesting going on this week? Like I said my parents are up, so we're going to dinner with them tomorrow and Wednesday night. That's about it for us!
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)? It varies by time of year and since fall's approaching I'm going to say apple cider!
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything) Saving money for house, yard, etc? I'm getting pretty sick of renting, I'm ready for a house!
What did you do this weekend? Cleaned the house & had an early night on Friday. Saturday we went to a festival where H ran a 5k, then we stayed and hung out for a bit. Ran into a friend of ours from school so we hung out with them for awhile. Yesterday was my cousin's birthday party - first time seeing most of my family since the wedding, so it was nice!
Anything interesting going on this week? Not particularly. The Bears-Packers game is on Thursday night - H is a Bears fan, and we live in Wisconsin, so things always get a bit interesting.
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)? I drink water 90% of the time...but besides that, I like Diet 7UP and Sobe Lifewater. Those are treats, though =]
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything) A lot of little things around the house - just ordered some photo prints to hang in our frames we put up a couple of weeks ago. I think it's too late in the year to do much with the yard, but otherwise I have some painting plans and I plan on tiling my kitchen backsplash and fireplace. And there's always the huge wall in the living room, still undecided on what we are going to do about that!
What did you do this weekend?
I worked a catering job this weekend. It was a wedding, which is always kind of fun to see what other weddings are like. Sunday I didn't do much, H slept most of the day since he was at a bachelor party Saturday night so I ran errands.
Anything interesting going on this week?
Not really....hopefully getting back to the gym which part of me is excited about.
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)?
Water. Pretty much all I drink ever!
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything)
Getting myself back into shape and eating healthy is my current project!

BFP#1-11/12/12, MMC 1/16/13-baby stopped growing @ 9wks, found out at 13wks, D&E 1/25/13
BFP#2-4/23/13 EDD-01/02/14 baby BOY born 12/31/13 Michael Cameron
What did you do this weekend? Finished up watching all of Breaking Bad, but mostly hung out and kept an eye on Milo to make sure he doesn't pull out his stitches.
Anything interesting going on this week? Two vet appointments to make sure Milo is healing okay. And our 10 year anniversary is this Friday
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)? Coffee. And lots of it.
Current project? Just getting the house in a better place- It's pretty much been a wreck since our wedding, and we've just had too much stuff going on this summer to tackle it. Plus, I think we're going to start gearing up for a yard sale for the last week of September- Sometimes it's easier to sell the junk than to store it ;p
What did you do this weekend?
I sat on the couch with my tissues (cold that H caught from work & passed to me) and watch Pretty Little Liars ALL WEEKEND! Even H is hooked. Who the heck is A?! And yesterday I also made homemade chicken noodle soup.
Anything interesting going on this week?
I wasn't feeling great enough.
Definitely no
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)?
Unsweetened Ice Tea. I love it and drink it all the time.
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything)
I also did a picture on a 4x5 canvas.
Ummmm. On Friday, I went to Michael's and bought a few crafts, which I did Friday evening. I posted one on Facebook. Our first dance lyrics Mod Podged to a piece of wood with our last name Initial. I was pretty proud
What did you do this weekend?
Saturday I went and hung out with my mom and did a little bit of shopping for H and I some clothes for the cruise in Nov. And then Sunday we went for a walk, ran some errands, and watched the football game.
Anything interesting going on this week?
Not really H went back to work today so we are just working on getting our routine back.
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)?
Sprite!!! It's pretty much my daily drink. Other than that milk.
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything)
Cleaning! We have 3 bedrooms and 2 are full of crap. 1 still has wedding stuff and the other is stuff from MIL's. So now we need to clean it up and find a place for everything to go even if it is just the attic.
What did you do this weekend?
Friday I watched my 4 year old nephew for the day then come home to hang out on the couch. H had drill all weekend so I was by myself. Saturday I got some cleaning done around the house and Sunday I spent quite a bit of time watching Murder, She Wrote
Oh, I also decorated this house for Halloween!!
Anything interesting going on this week?
Mostly work and maybe some bowling this weekend with some friends. We typically don't make too many weekend plans and just see what happens.
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)?
I really like french vanilla iced coffee from my Keurig. Otherwise I mostly drink water and occassionally I drink Pepsi
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything)
Our whole house is a current project right now. I've slowly been working on our office and I'm hoping to have that finished in the next month or so and then it is on to our guest bedroom. This spring we are hoping to re-do the roof and put on new siding. Oh, and this winter we want to put drywall up in the living room. Right now two of the walls have paneling that the previous owners decided to paint so that'll be coming down soon.
What did you do this weekend?
H and I had date night on Friday, did some landscaping in the yard, saw the Dark Knight Rises (for free!), went to church, and went out to lunch with his family after church.
Anything interesting going on this week?
We're going to the county fair this week
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)?
At the moment, I am really liking Lipton's Raspberry Iced Tea!
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything)
Well we just finished the landscaping. We are wanting to add a backsplash to the kitchen, but I'm not sure when we will be doing that!
What did you do this weekend? Worked. A lot! Like 16-20 hr shifts each day. Today is the start of my weekend, I have off Mon and Tues this week, and I plan to sit on the couch in front of the TV going in and out of sleep.
Anything interesting going on this week? More work... lol. H and I have counseling tomorrow, which I love b/c it gives us an excuse to hang out in the city. I'm hoping we'll go for a ride on the Roosevelt Island Tram and then to a happy hour.
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)? Sooddaaaa. I'm a huge Cherry Pepsi or Ginger Ale fan. But since I've been trying to cut out sugary drinks, water with lemon, seltzer water, and chamomile mint tea.
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything) Cleaning house! My house is a mess and I'm never home to do anything about it. So for my days off, I'm hoping to make a dent in the mess. @ work, I'm working on learning all of the specialtly desks in the dispatch center so that I won't have to speak to panicked NYCers all day, every day. Right now, I'm training on the PD/Fire Liason desk, hopefully I'll be certified by the end of the week. And then working monstrous amounts of OT to go towards our home ownership fund.
What did you do this weekend?
Friday night we went out for supper and then just hung out around the house, Saturday H worked from 7-7 so I cleaned, did a bit of laundry and got groceries, then saturday night we went for a long walk and got some ice cream, yesterday we watched football, and then went to a movie last night, Hope Springs, it was pretty good.
Anything interesting going on this week?
Not really, H will probably be working late most nights, yoga wednesday, I think H has to work again this weekend...
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)?
Iced Tea when I take the time to make it, or Timothy's Winter Carnival Coffee for the Keurig. It's only seasonal though.. (comes out in like December) and for a couple months so I have to stock up like the end of the world is coming to make it through the year! I opened my last box this morning.... gotta stretch it until December!!
Current project? (home, work, yard, anything)
Finishing the addition on our house, and trying to get the yard semi done before winter!
Anything interesting going on this week? I have my first grad school test and we find out if we got the house we offered on.
Favorite thing to drink (non alcoholic)? I can only drink n/a drinks now. These days my favorites are oj (totally pregnancy thing- didn't like it before) and water.

We stayed home and watched TV and I caught up on grading. Thrilling I know.

We're going to the Frederick Fair this weekend and seeing my family and H's family. We have not seen them since July--so I am excited!!

Water or coke zero, especially coke zero vanilla. I have an addiction to soda and in order to make it somewhat better I drink the zero calorie ones...hahaha
