Zack bought me a 6-pack… of fancy soda, that is. Root beer, cherry lime soda, Shirley Temples, orange cream soda. Yup. I could get used to this.
Fatty, our black cat, has a cold and do you know what one of the saddest things in the world is? When a cat has a cold. It’s just so pathetic and they look at you with these miserable little glossy eyes and a sniffly nose and tiny sneezes and it just kind of breaks your heart. And he turns into an even bigger baby than usual, which is saying something.
I got my flu shot at my last doctor appointment. It was seriously awesome. I didn’t feel it at all, to be honest. Either I’m getting to be really good with needles (fyi you get to experience a lot of needles when you’re knocked up) or they’ve really improved the flu shot. Or both. Yes, it’s probably both. Anyway, it was great. And afterward we went to Chipotle and I ate an entire burrito bowl for the first time in my life. I only gained 1 lb in the past 4 weeks, so the burrito bowl was doctor’s orders. ;) Best prescription I’ve ever gotten.
Annnnd now it’s friday and Zack and I are going to watch movies tonight and veg the eff out because this week has been a pretty crazy hectic one and we earned it, gosh darn it. We just got a new xbox and can watch HBO Go on it, so that’s going to be fun and suck up all of our time this weekend.
What are your weekend plans?
Any movies on Netflix or HBO you recommend?
What’s your favourite kind of nonalcoholic drink? Water doesn’t count.

I’m glad to hear your flu shot went well! I’m terrified of needles – more with getting my blood drawn – but I always put it off until the last possible minute! And poor Fatty!!! I hope he feels better :(
Katie
Oh, girl. I used to be terrified of getting my blood drawn, but now that I’ve gotten it done twice already (and more to come) due to pregnancy, it’s no big thang! ;) Practice makes perfect? Or something. I feel like we build it up in our heads too much when really it’s simple and painless and easy peasy. I think Fatty’s getting better, slowly but surely. :)

Your poor little kitty! I hope he feels better soon! Gosh, I miss our HBO Go! Let’s see, what did I binge watch? Definitely Game Of Thrones because it’s amazing (even despite the crazy violence & boobs). I looove Veep, but not everyone does. I really wanted to start Six Feet Under before we moved but never got around to it. :( though I actually loved all the HBO documentaries, the most. Nerd alert!
Katie
Thanks for the kitty well wishes! :) I forgot about Game of Thrones!!! I really want to start watching it! Thanks for the suggestion! And girl. Fellow nerd here. ;)

veg out… that sounds perfect. i am going camping. i swear michael just makes plans without asking me sometimes.
Katie
Hahaha I would be so mad if my husband scheduled a camping trip out of the blue. But that’s because I hate camping and he knows it. Have fuuuun! Get drunk and stuff, I hear that makes it better! ;)

haha! “veg the eff out” made me crack up. I think that is a good theme for the weekend :) my fav non-alchoholic drink is cream soda… yum!
I’m going to hit up Starbucks this afternoon with the bf to get BOGO peppermint mochas- thanks to your suggestion earlier this week! :)
Katie
Haha it’s pretty much my theme for most weekends from here on out ;) And yuuuum I LOVE cream soda, too!! Enjoy that pepp mocha, girl! I’m dreaming of my next one already!

Oh I hate needles! I’m a serious wimp when it comes to any kind of pain! As for my weekend plans, I’m going to a craft fair with my fiances mom, aunt and cousin-in-law on Saturday that will definitely be lots of fun and then Sunday we’re doing housework all day!

I’ve been avoiding the flu shot even though I know it is a good ide because it also protects the baby. On Netflix, I would highly recommend Orange is the New Black, Dexter, Breaking Bad. My favorite non-alcoholic drink is home-made Dunkaccino (half coffee half hot chocolate) or Dr. Pepper. This weekend is the hub’s last football game, so I’m going up to Ohio to visit with some friends and watch his game.
Katie
The flu shot was a breeze! Nothing to worry about :) We already watched all of Orange is the New Black! It was great!! I really want to start watching Breaking Bad, too. That Dunkaccino sounds bombbbb. So trying it soon!

That IS this best prescription ever! Needles aren’t a big thing for me either. I’m recently HOOKED on Parenthood on Netflix! I started at the beginning, and it is so good…I cry almost every episode.
Katie
Ahhh I have heard that I need to watch Parenthood. I just always cry anyway, so I’ve been putting it off ;)

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is the movie I have been falling asleep to on Netflix ! ha.. I know its not even Thanksgiving yet but watching the movie relaxes me! And for a romantic good clean movie from Netflix I would recommend The Giant Mechanical Man its cute!
Katie
Haha that’s awesome. It’s the bestttt movie ever. And I will def check out The Giant Mechanical Man- thanks for the rec! :)

Jess
Haha I ALWAYS finish my burrito bowl!! Nom. I had one today. Because it’s Chipotle Friday. I recommend Love Actually, because it’s an awesome movie and it’s on Netflix instant now.
Katie
I LOOOOVE Love, Actually!! :) SUCH a good movie. I will absolutely be watching it this year, and YAY that it’s on Netflix now! I had no idea! Thanks for that head’s up. Also, Chipotle Friday is the best thing I’ve ever heard. Good call.

HBO Go is life changing. I love that Chipotle was prescribed to you! Have a great weekend, gorgeous :)
Katie
I can already tell HBO Go will be changing our lives. For the better, obviously.

There’s not much that I don’t love about this post… well minus the poor kitty being sick. Chipotle is the jam, but I’m like you – I always eat only 1/2 of mine. P.S. have you watched House of Cards on Netflix yet? It’s amazing and addicting. We watched the 12 episodes in like 4 days. Congratulations on the baby again!!
