Re: Friday Friday Friday

  • I'm bummed, I was supposed to hang out with my bestie and do some day drinking today because on Fridays I get off of work at 11am, but I woke up sick.  I originally thought I just had bad cramps but I've never had cramps that are constant or last this long and now I keep going from being freezing to sweating, so I think I'm coming down with something.  So instead of fun boozed up friend time, I'll be going home and taking a nap.

    The rest of the weekend is open.  Depending on if I feel better or not, I'd like to return some gifts and use up the Kohl's cash that I have that is only good until the 5th.  We also got some gift cards for Christmas to Red Lobster and Cici's pizza so my original plan was to eat, eat and eat some more this weekend before I start getting strict again with my diet/exercise.  I've let myself gain back about 8lbs which is so not ok, so no more of this "I don't have to keep track of everything I eat" bs anymore...time to get real again.

  • I feel like garbage today, but I just keep reminding myself it's Friday and there's hardly anyone at my office so it should be a relatively easy day.

    Tomorrow we ware helping SIL and her bf move and then we have a surprise wedding to go to (she thinks they're getting married next year). I really hope it pans out; he put a lot of work into this and, while it's not my thing, it's sweet. It's at a ski lodge and the dress code is "casual lodge attire."  WTF is that?  I have a semi-casual long sleeve dress, but the heels I wear with it are not going to work because we'll have to walk through at least a bit of snow to get to the lodge.  Maybe DH will carry me...

    Sunday will consist of getting the house back in order and a whole lotta laziness!

  • Feel better @Xan921 - drink lots of liquids and sleep!

    Tonight we have dinner plans with DH's cousins who moved into town.
    Tomorrow we have dinner and game night with another couple. We also are supposed to be getting our floors for our downstairs and installing them Saturday. Yippie!! I love progress!!

    My house is 90% painted and should be done by next week! I am sooo happy!

  • Thank you @Sewilson33!

    @PandPMeant2B, have fun at the wedding!  Part of me feels like that's a really cool idea while the other part of me feels bad for the bride but I guess it just depends on the person.  While taking away the stress of planning a wedding is a nice gesture I think I'd hate not being involved in the planning and missing out on the anticipation that goes along with planning a wedding.

    Other than that, relaxing, I hope!

  • Today I am working on cleaning the house to make it easier to carry big things to the bathroom and basement while DH goes to get a snow blower from his brother and take his mom's to his brother (moms is bigger and BIL has a longer driveway). Later we are going to his mom's for leftovers. Tomorrow his uncle has a party and we will stop at a couple stores. Sunday DH's uncle is coming to give us an estimate on our bathroom remodel since our toilet upstairs stopped working and DH discovered floorboard damage. My parents are also coming for dinner and a movie.

    We have game night with some of my work friends. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and doing a little shopping (here's hoping to blowing $$$ on clothes I won't be able to wear, if you catch my drift). Tomorrow night is a bonfire at our neighbor's house. We don't really like them, but they had to put their dog down right before Christmas, and the whole thing is in his "honor." NMS, but at least my friendly neighbors are going, too.

    That's exactly how I feel!  I'm a control freak and would NOT be okay with not being involved in any planning.  But this is a second marriage for both of them and she's pretty low maintenance, so I think she will be happy.

  • @poppies717 I sure hope you won't be able to wear the clothes you buy today.

    Today is busy day at the office. :-(  It doesn't pay to take 3 days off.

    Tonight we're having a few of our new friends over for dinner.  H is cooking, so I'm happy about that.

    Then this weekend we have zero plans. Zero!  Will likely go to town and get groceries, but that's about it.  I'm thinking there will be a date with my Kindle.

  • Feel better, Xan!

    Have fun at the wedding, P! I hope the bride is so surprised and excited!

    Brij, a Kindle date sounds perfect!!

    I took another vacation day today, so I'm lounging with the pooch, eating a tomato and cheese omelette. I need to swing by the bank, and then I want to try and find some after-Christmas sales. DH is working at Dick's this evening.

    Tomorrow, DH and I are planning to go see the second Hobbit movie with my dad and little sister and then I think we're getting together with DH's buddy and his wife at their place. 

    No plans at all on Sunday. I'm planning on doing lots of vegging on the couch catching up on seasons of TV shows I just got/watch on Netflix.

  • Right now Tom and I are just lounging around. Tonight is my niece's birthday party, tomorrow is my cousin's bachelorette party. Lots of family time in the last week. :-)

    Other than that my goal is to get the house spotless before work starts up again on the 2nd. I'm also getting strict with myself again, like @Xan921. Only way to baby is dropping lbs. That's it. 

    Cheering on all of my 3T ladies!  DX with PCOS - 11/2012 DH S/A & HSG - Normal - Too many rounds of Clomid = BFNs - New RE 5/2014 - Repeat Testing - Losing 40lbs before injects/IUI

  • Hope you feel better @Xan921!

    My parents left this morning (DH's family left yesterday), and I've been sick all week, so we decided today would be a "wear pjs and do absolutely nothing" day. I will wash bedding from the spare rooms, but that's not much ;)

    We don't have a lot of plans for the weekend. We're meeting friends for dinner Sunday and we may go see a couple movies, but that's about it.

    I'm off until Thursday :)

  • @PandPMeant2B - Have fun at the wedding! I hope the bride loves it.

    @amandaf6383 and @Xan921 - I'm going to be in the same boat with getting strict for weight loss. Best of luck to you both!

    DH and I are at his parents house for a week, so we're mostly lounging and hanging out with family. MIL and I are going to hit the after-Christmas sales at Target and Michaels later today, which should be fun!
