love & hate, start a new week edition
love: Spent the weekend with my sister and baby nephew and it was awesome. We walked all over Capitol Hill, ate yummy food, talked all day and night, played with the cutest baby ever, etc.
hate: We hardly took any photos. What is wrong with me?!?! We tried to take some at the airport this morning, but it was so early the moon was still lighting the night sky. Auntie FAIL.
love: Andrew and I took our new Capital Bikeshare bikes out for a spin tonight – so fun!
hate: With winter approaching, not sure how much biking we will realistically be doing in the next few months?
love: Laying around on the sofa last night, with my sister and SIL, playing the baby name game. Some things never get old…
hate: The husbands do not like our names. Boo.
love: We have decided to replace all the old, beat windows in our house.
hate: Do you have any idea how ridiculously expensive windows are?!?!
love: My mom and my aunts are coming to DC next weekend for the Rally to Restore Sanity.
hate: I am still trying to un-disaster-ify the casa from the damage we did to it this weekend. Also…I’m slightly worried about sleeping five adults in this tiny house for three nights!
love: That sound you hear right now? My husband is doing the dishes while I’m typing this.
hate: If only I could teach him how to do laundry according to my very peculiar standards…
love: Election Day is just over a week away – hallelujah!
hate: Anticipated election results. I plan to cope by drinking heavily.
love: When you, lovely blog peeps, post your own loves and hates in the comments! xoxo

I Love that you got to spend such a great weekend with K and the babe. And don’t worry about the pictures. I’m pretty sure your mom, K and the rest of us are taking care of that

Sounds like such an amazing weekend! And yes, Colby almost always hates the baby names that I love too. I think I’m a bit too… flowery for his taste

love: the amazing quality time I got with my son yesterday; he’s such a wonder in my life.
hate: Monday already? My home TODO list is just too long for this crap.
love: New Internet connection at work? YES.
hate: And…people are already exploiting it. Sigh. I hate playing Sheriff.
I, too, fear the election results. May we drink together?

Hate: that I am talking about the weather in Michigan
love: that we had a pumpkin carving party

I’m coming in for the rally, too. We must find each other, or at least text. Emailing you my phone number now.

Love: That I’m blessed to have a job to go to every day.
Hate: That it’s a lousy, unsupportive, mind-numbing environment.
Love: That I get to go home to my son and my best friend after yet another lousy day.
Hate: That that same beautiful boy hasn’t slept well in almost a month.
Love: That Janet is posting more.

Love that you’re blogging again!
Hate that I just came home from being out of town and my hubby left me!

Happy Anniversary to you, too! Ah, what brought me to your blog ages ago! So fun to think about – and also fun that we both had dream weddings! (Hawaii and Mexico) I say for our next anniversaries we switch – you go to Hawaii and I go to Mexico! Hugs and I hope you have the BEST day today. Make it a great anniversary!

Janet, I have been catching up on your blog & realizing that you had 3 posts I had not read!
I feel all caught up now & am sending you lots of positive thoughts & hugs about fertility and losing your grandfather and wine and house guests and turning 30.
I have started a new blog, consolidating my no-shopping blog with my everyday blog into just a third blog. If you wanna stop by, I am doing a Thanksgiving giveaway of a Thymes seasonal candle, a gift card and some Godiva chocolate!
xoxo
