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.

Decorate This
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.
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
Someone's getting a little brother!
Highs? Went to my parents for dinner Saturday night and had a good night of laughs
Lows? The O's losing
Eat/make anything good? Made homemade chicken pot pie for dinner last night
Read anything good? No
Watch anything good? caught up on Boardwalk Empire
FFCs, vents, AWs, comments, etc? I'm in this awful funk and have been for the past week to the point where I called out of work last week. It's not even that I hate my job II'm just tired of so much stress in my life.
What are you looking forward to this week? Getting in a rather big shipment of PC stuff that I ordered for a quarter auction I'm doing and getting is all prettied up.
miscarriage on 11/26/09 at 5w6d
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.
