    1. What are you up to? 

    I've been busy today! I went to the farmer's market and grocery store, started dinner (pot roast, potatoes and carrots in the slow cooker), got a big pot of chili going (freezing it to have for dinner on Thursday while watching the first college football games of the season!) and now I'm about to eat lunch and try to find something to watch on TV. 

    2. What's the weather like where you are? 

    HOT! 104 and sunny. Low humidity, though, which is rare for Alabama. 

    3. What has been the best part of your weekend so far? 

    All day yesterday! DH and I went to lunch, did a ton of shopping, went to a fabulous brewery for dinner and then out with some friends. 

    4. What are you wearing today? 

    Black Under Armour yoga capris, hot pink Under Armour tank top and black and white Under Armour flip flops--I'm a walking add for UA ;) 

    5. What did you/will you have for lunch? 

    Having grilled chicken and peppers on a pita w/hummus. 

    6. Are you SUPER excited for the kick-off of college football this week? :)

    YES! YES! YES! Can't wait to be in Jordan-Hare Stadium watching my Auburn Tigers! I ran into two of our good friends that we tailgate with in the store today and it totally just made me even MORE excited! :)

    1. What are you up to? Went to grocery store this morning, then doing laundry.  I just finished setting up my home office since I'm going to be working on a temporary project from home for my former employer.

    2. What's the weather like where you are? Not too bad.  80 degrees and sunny.

    3. What has been the best part of your weekend so far? Dinner out with DH last night at Buffalo Wild Wings and then we watched Hall Pass from Netflix.

    4. What are you wearing today?  Red tshirt, and khaki shorts... I was wearing maternity shorts for a week and half after my loss and now I can actually fit into some of my regular clothes... kinda depressing.

    5. What did you/will you have for lunch?  A microwave meal (broccoli & potatoes with cheese from Smart Ones) and a slice of beer bread.

    6. Are you SUPER excited for the kick-off of college football this week? :)  Not really... I didn't even know it started this week.  However, I try to go back to my alma mater (University of Illinois) for a game each fall and visit friends, so I'll probably try to plan that this year.

    I had a burger and a bunch of potluck stuff at the picnic after church.

    6. Are you SUPER excited for the kick-off of college football this week? :)

    3. What has been the best part of your weekend so far? Being OFF of work! The kids start back at school tomorrow and last week I had so many meetings I couldn't see straight.

    4. What are you wearing today? Pink sweatpants and a t-shirt. I look a mess.

    6. Are you SUPER excited for the kick-off of college football this week? :)DH is a college coach too so his first game is next Saturday.  I'm excited to go, at least while the weather is warm, and it's an away game (in the same town) at my alma mater!

    1. What are you up to? 

    Cleaning up a bit from my g-parents and Mom visiting and and making a grape pie with grapes hand picked from my parents vineyard (my Mom picked them, not me).

    2. What's the weather like where you are? 

    It was raining and breezy.  Now it's hot and sunny.  A great Sunday evening.
     

    3. What has been the best part of your weekend so far? 

    Lunch in N-O-T-L with my fellow IF'er and her DH!

    4. What are you wearing today? 

    capri leggings, a long white tank top, and a grey boyfriend cardigan.  I'm still a little tender from my lap so everything is either baggy or rolled down below my hip bones. 

    5. What did you/will you have for lunch?

    We had some eggplant parm that my Mom brought us.

    6. Are you SUPER excited for the kick-off of college football this week? :)

    I'm Canadian, so college football has never been part of our culture unfortunately.  Although, when we lived in MI, we went to lots of games and it was very fun.
