Highs? Kira got baptized on Sunday. Lows? My brother did not show up to the reception after the baptism and left part way through the baptism. Very disappointed. Eat/make anything good? We ate at Rusty Scupper on Saturday with my parents, everything was great. Best Calimari ever. Watch anything good? too busy for TV, did watch the new Footloose last night, not impressed Read anything good? started reading a new Elin Hilderbrand book, did not get far enough along to know if its good or not FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? see low for this answer. I'm beyond overcommitted right now- currently I work full time, coach two soccer teams, bring kira to swim on thursdays, serve as HSA treasurer for K's school and chairing several events for the school this year. I need to learn to say no. What are you looking forward to this week? I've been super busy at work, looking forward to getting three projects advertised to free up some of my time.

Highs? Got the family room all cleaned out so we're ready for carpet. Had a lot of park time with Gracie. DH also cleaned out my shed so there is a lot more room for new holiday decorations.
Lows? DH found out his dad has to have heart surgery.
Eat/make anything good? Not really. We got Noodles one night which is my favorite fast place. Also made a chai latte smoothie that was pretty good.
Watch anything good? The Sitter was pretty good.
Read anything good? Finished the new Rizzoli & Isles novel and started the 1st Harry Potter book.
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? AW: I fit into a pair of shorts I haven't been able to wear in a few years.
What are you looking forward to this week? Lots of things - getting family room carpeted, new furniture being delivered and having friends over

Highs? I had to go into work for a few hours yesterday. While I was there, DH cleaned out and fixed our washing machine. The inside of the washer (what the basin sits in) was disgusting! I am happy I got out of that chore and that our washer is fixed. Sadly, this was the high point of my weekend.
Lows? Only having one day off
Eat/make anything good? DH made me stuffed peppers last night and they were sooo yummy.
Watch anything good? Not really. Saturday we watched Holy Rollers (a documentary about a ChristiaN black jack team). It was good but not amazing. Sunday we watched Arbitrage. Very disappointed.
Read anything good? No
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? DH won't be home tomorrow night. It's been awhile so I'm excited for some alone time. What are you looking forward to this week? Pay day and a three day weekend!

mrsbobcat · September 2012

Highs? Too many to pick from! It was a great weekend. Started off with a very strong 20 mile run on Saturday morning and then being the crazy person that I am I went with DH to help friends move. Had a great photo session in Columbia on Sunday morning.
Lows? Honestly, I didn't like the beer I drank during a football game on Sunday. That's how good my weekend was that my low is a yucky beer.
Eat/make anything good? DH made fried chicken last night and it was so good. I put ranch dressing on just about EVERYTHING and the chicken was so juicy that I it would have been an injustice to put it on.
Watch anything good? Unstoppable. DH actually didn't want to see it because he's an engineer and does a lot of work with train tracks. The movie wasn't that great, but we had so much fun talking and he kept talking about the mechanics involved, in a non "I know everything" kind of way, and it was just so much fun.
Read anything good? Nope.
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? Had my fastest 20 mile run to date. I'm getting excited for this next marathon because I feel prepared for it! I can't believe it's not until the end of October.
What are you looking forward to this week? Dodgeball season starts!

SarahKate31 · September 2012

Highs? Pretty good weekend. Got some errands done, got to seee my college friends for brunch and spent some time with the ILs.
Lows? Not enough downtime. I'm tired.
Eat/make anything good? I don't know, nothing that really stands out.
Watch anything good? Not really.
Read anything good? No.
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? I am excited AND overwhelmed about our upcoming renovations. In addition to our kitchen, we're also going to be painting our living room. DH thinks we need to pack up the whole living room, including the furniture, and put it all in a POD outside. I think the room is huge and we should push the furniture to the middle and cover it. Currently, we are at an impasse.
What are you looking forward to this week? Hopefully finding out a start date for our kitchen project!

jcsntms06 · September 2012

Highs? Went to the MD Wine Festival yesterday, taking the girls to the playground at Susquehanna state Park on Saturday. Picking up some cupcakes too.
Lows? I finally caught the cold that both DH and the girls had.
Eat/make anything good? Pit Beef at this place in Havre De Grace, it was pretty good and cupcakes.
Watch anything good? no
Read anything good? no
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? kind of pissed off that I got sick. UGH! I feel like butt today, but somehow I'm still at work.
What are you looking forward to this week? NICU reunion this weekend.

misscastle · September 2012

Highs? Penn State beat Navy! It's not like Navy is such a great team that it's something to brag about, but it was our first win under the new coach, and we needed a morale booster. Also, my company hosted our bridal expo yesterday in Crofton, and everyone really had a good time and the vendors were happy. OH, and I helped with auditions for Legally Blonde at the Children's Theatre Saturday and there were so many pretty and talented teen girls there trying out -- but it also makes me sad to know that some of them won't make it in the show.
Lows? The Raiders lost yesterday, and my husband ended up drinking too much. Sometimes when that happens, he gets in a "Let's annoy Kelsey" mood where he does things that he knows irritates me, and I had no patience for it.
Eat/make anything good? I had some snow crab legs Friday night -- yum!
Watch anything good? I've been watching Army Wives, and I'm really enjoying it.
Read anything good? I just finished "Life as We Knew It" by Susan Pfeffer. It's YA fiction about an asteroid hitting the moon and how it throws off tidal patterns and generally screws with the earth, and the effect it has on a family in Pennsylvania. I'm not sure how based on science it was, but holy cow, I really hope a large asteroid never hits the moon!
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? Vent: My fantasy football team imploded yesterday. Bradshaw got injured, McFadden did NOTHING, Brady got a few points, but nothing spectacular, and then I was going back and forth about whether to play Hill or Meacham -- in the end, they both got zero points, so it didn't matter. When I drafted, I theoretically had this "great" team. It's completely fallen apart.
What are you looking forward to this week? It's going to be a crazy couple of weeks, but I'm going to an event at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation on Thursday evening that i hope is nice.

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't know I had to log out of the accounts separately on the TN and TB. Didn't realize until today I had posted under the wrong name on Friday. Oops!

Congrats Mella!

summer08bride · September 2012

Highs? Tailgating before and after the MD game. Sadly, that was the best parts of the day. I also went hiking on Sunday at Great Falls, and it was so much fun!!

Eat/make anything good? I had a Pampered Chef party on Fri night and I made Buffalo Mac and Cheese. So good!!
Watch anything good? Nope
Read anything good? Spent too much time outside to read.
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? A friend and I are in a tiff and it's really stressing me out! I'm moving out of my rental in a month and I have a ton of stuff to do between now and then!!
What are you looking forward to this week? Free pizza for dinner tonight, and my sorority is going to the Nats game on Wednesday, so that will be fun!

TheLinkBride · September 2012

Congrats Mella!

Highs? I had a great time at the dog show this weekend and enjoyed catching up with lots of people.

Lows? Dinner on Saturday was not very good.

Eat/make anything good? We weren't home to cook all weekend, but tonight's dinner that DH made was surprisingly good. I don't normally eat pork but we had pork tacos.

Watch anything good? Penn State won and the Giants won, although I'm bummed that we didn't get the game.

Read anything good? nope

FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? Nothing exciting going on with us.

What are you looking forward to this week? Starting agility class again.

Congratulations Mella!!

LoveLossHopeRepeat · September 2012

Highs? A lot of time spent with family, including out-of-town family who we don't see often. And on Saturday we had Jen Lowe over for a newborn/family photo session. I cannot WAIT to see the images.
Lows? Saying good-bye to my grandmother. The weekend and Monday were all packed with funeral-related planning and events. In addition, because I'm not far out from my c-section but have had so much going on, I've stalled on my recovery and am in rough shape.
Eat/make anything good? A cheese steak sub from G&M on Sunday night. It's a tradition when my aunt comes up from SC - we always get cheese steaks from there one night during her stay.
Watch anything good? No, I haven't had the time to watch TV.
Read anything good? See above.
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? Whine: the issues I've had with this c-section recovery are driving me nuts. Thankfully it's nothing serious, and for that I'm grateful, but it's still been so trying. AW: At 12 days post partum, I'm 28 lbs. below my pre-pregnancy weight. Annoying Mushy Comment: My husband is amazing. These past two weeks have been absolutely insane and he has been my rock.
What are you looking forward to this week? It being over. It's annoyingly jam-packed with doctor's appointments. I had an appointment this morning, spent the afternoon in the L&D ward for wound care, have to see the OB's office for a follow up tomorrow, Liam's first pediatrician appointment tomorrow, and then his first cardiologist appointment on Friday. I just want to stay home and rest.
