Re: How was your weekend?

  • Highs? We went to the renaissance festival on Saturday and spent time with friends for their daughter's christening on Sunday. It was a great weekend!

    Lows? Liam had a rough night Saturday night and it led to me crying in bed at 10am on Sunday because I was SO tired but didn't have time to get any rest before we had to leave for the christening.

    Eat/make anything good? The best cookies ever from Wegman's. I have an addiction. Renfest food was surprisingly disappointing.

    Read anything good? No. I haven't read a book since July, which for me is unheard of. I have got to find my groove.

    Watch anything good? Just catching up on DVRed stuff.

    FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? AW: Two weeks from tomorrow we'll be on our way to Disney World! Vent: Two days after we return from Disney, I return to work. Another vent: I have so much crap to do for insurance claims and I hate it so much that I'm putting it off. But we need the money. I need to suck it up and get the shiit done.

    What are you looking forward to this week? Mia has her first Daisy Scouts meeting on Tuesday and her first kindergarten field trip on Wednesday - she's excited for both. I'm hoping to hit Soft & Cozy on Thursday, and on Friday, Mia's off school, so I'm going to take her out to lunch and we have a Trunk or Treat event that night.

    • Highs? Productive errands on Friday, Larriland on Sunday, and getting some final stuff done for the kitchen.
    • Lows? DS didn't nap at all either day. We had to spend the day at my ILs on Saturday because our contractors wanted to work on the kitchen. Not that it was bad to spend the day at the ILs, but because we were out of the house most of the weekend, laundry is piling up and we didn't get a lot done.
    • Eat/make anything good? Apple fritters and apple cider at Larriland.
    • Read anything good? No.
    • Watch anything good? More SOA.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? I miss my kid. I'm tired of "packing and shipping him" (as DH says) to send him to his grandparents every weekend while we work on the house. I know he has a blast and the grandparents are loving it, but yeah, we miss our kid.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Putting the kitchen back together and starting on the living room.

    • Highs? Had a great day at Rehobeth with DH and Gracie. She had a blast attacking the waves and running on the beach.
    • Lows? Weekend being over.
    • Eat/make anything good? Pumpkin spice cookies and pumpkin cinnamon swirl custard from Kohr Bros., cheesesteak and Fisher's popcorn
    • Read anything good? Still reading Hemingway's Girl. I love it so much I don't want to finish it.
    • Watch anything good? Dexter and Boss. Also liked Dark Shadows and Hop.
    • FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc?
    • What are you looking forward to this week? I guess just Sons of Anarchy. Can't think of anything else until the weekend.
  • Highs - hard to pick, but probably dinner @ Blacks w/ SIL and BIL

    Lows. ...  not really one.  DH was a little snappy w/ me last night b/c he was stressd from seeing his whole family for dinner on Sunday; also I got nothing done this weekend around the house, etc.

    Eat/Make Anything good - we had dinner @ Bluestone for MIL's bday.  I haven't been there in several years, but I loved their Fried Green Tomatoes, so I was totally psyched to have them again.

    Read? Officially started Gone Girl

    Watch anything good - about 2 episodes of Breaking Bad

    FFC, etc. - DD is really getting into a tantrum stage and its really interesting, but stressful trying to figure out how to react and handle it.  She has an amazaing memory and you can genuinely reason with her, but she also has a VERY strong POV now that you have to accomodate/manage appropriately and she has started to physically pull away from me when I try to redirect her, etc.  DH was kinda of basket case about his mom's bday - he's known about it for several months obviously and I mentioned something about getting her a present a few weeks ago and he blew me off, but then started freaking out about it again on Saturday and we needed to get it by Sunday morning.  We ended up not bringing a present to her party and he was mortified, etc. and then mad a me, even though it had nothing to do with me.  He and DH are seeing her on Friday and he'll bring something then.  He gets way overstressed about gifts, but then doesn't plan it either.

    Looking Forward to - hopefully a calmer weekend.

  • Highs? Lots of them! Our anniversary on Friday was great, Saturday we went to my nephew's soccer game and I got a lot of cleaning done, Sunday we went to RennFest.
    Lows? I think I'm coming down with something.  I feel awful. 
    Eat/make anything good? We didn't cook at all.  Friday we went to Level and I had acorn squash hummus and gnocchi, Saturday we had Coalfire, and my favorite RennFest food was the fried pickles. 
    Read anything good? No
    Watch anything good? The Avengers was pretty good, a little cheesy but I suppose that's a given for a "comic book" movie.  More SOA. 
    FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? FFC: I added NSYNC to Pandora and I love it.  Vent: I'm annoyed with everyone in my family right now.  None of things really involve me but it makes me angry hearing how irresponsible they are. AW: I'm on day four of a five day mini-staycation.  It's been wonderful!
    What are you looking forward to this week? Nothing specific

    • FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? Annabelle loved the Ren fest yesterday. I think she loved all the food and animals. Oh and her and Daddy could of played on the slide all day. Caroline was a trooper and let me wear her for almost 3.5 hours. On Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch and A was just too cute for words.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? DH and I are going to the OctoBEARfest at the Baltimore Zoo on Saturday, I just hope DH doesn't have to work.

  • Highs?  We had a great time seeing friends at the show and the icing on the weekend was him finishing his grand championship.  I'm very happy and excited.

    Lows?  Just how tired I am today.

    Eat/make anything good?  So much yummy food - cheesecake and stuffed shrimp were my favorites.

    Read anything good?  Nope

    Watch anything good?  No, I wasn't home all weekend.

    FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc?  I'm always excited to finish a title but then I have to pick the next goal.  At least this one is pretty easy to choose, now we're going for first agility title, which hopefully will come soon.

    What are you looking forward to this week?  My hometown's fair next weekend.
