Ten Things Tuesday...
Can you tell I am bored and have no desire to do work??? 
So...what are your ten (or more) things?
Re: Ten Things Tuesday...
1) I didn't do any work yesterday. Not kidding. After my beta results I spent the rest of the day daydreaming baby stuff.
2) I am determined to get some work done today.
3) It's really hard not to tell my parents they are going to be grandparents
4) I want everyone on here who is TTC to have success very soon. My heart aches for every BFN that gets posted.
5) I'm terrified this baby won't stick.
6) I'm going to see AC/DC in concert this weekend.
7) I've been to ~100 concerts but never a rock concert
8) I cooked a real breakfast before work for the first time in ages today
9) My stapler is blue
10) My wedding anniversary is next week and I've yet to think of gift for K.
1. I get a free lunch today!
2. I think there's a cake for me in the office fridge...
3. I think it's really nice that they acknowledge birthdays at work, but I feel a little awkward when asked my age. I generally don't reveal it, and really don't like to at work. I'm hoping not to get put on the spot too much today. So far, so good.
4. I'm eating peach yogurt.
5. We are the proud owners of 3 vials of strawberry blonde sperm
. My midwives faxed the necessary paperwork to the bank, and it will be shipped next week!
6. I had ice cream cake for dinner last night. Yum!
7. We went out for a nice dinner for my bday on Saturday night - apparently there was a mosquito under our table.... I have 5 enormous and insanely itchy bug bites on my right leg, and two on my left. I look like I have a contagious skin condition. It's gross. But I'm wearing a dress because it's hot out today and pants just make me itchier!!
8. I know know know that the likelihood of try #1 working is slim to none, but I can't help but daydream...
9. I think we are going to get our new digital camera this week.
10. I'm listening to Mandy Moore at my desk.
sahm ~ toddler breastfeeder ~ cloth diaperer ~ baby wearer
1. The Whiskey River burger at Red Robin is SOOOO good. YUM.
2. After our post about offices yesterday, I decided to start cleaning/purging. I made a small dent - it felt good.
3. I have a memory box from a child that died in my office that is 5 years old. The mom never came to pick it up and I can't bring myself to throw it away.
4. I need music in my office. Darn hospital has blocked all streaming music. I guess I need iPod speakers in here.
5. My birthday is next week. No idea what we are doing (if anything.) I remember when birthdays were exciting and a big deal - now they are really just another day (an an excuse for my kids to sing Happy Birthday!)
6. I can't believe this is the last week with our nanny. I like the new one well enough - I just don't do well with change. I hope the kids do better than I do.
7. Grayson picked out pink princess panties at Target the other day. I would have bought them for him (anything to entice him to stay dry) but they were too big. I was telling a co-worker this and she was shocked I would have bought my son pink princess panties. He ended up getting Sesame Street.
8. I fell asleep watching The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas last night. I love a good cheesy musical. It makes me miss the days of going to the gay bars for showtune night.
9. I guess I really should do some work...sigh.
10. One of my co-workers was telling about her adventures in dating/being in a new relationship. It kinda made me miss that "new love" feeling.
2. I haven't done any real work for her since the 10th (but she agreed to pay me 10 hrs a week no matter what she gives me) but have been emailing her every monday letting her know my schedule and to send me anything she needs help with..which is why i hate asking for money
3. If the IRS hadn't sent me the $500 they owed me from 2007 last week I wouldn't have been able to pay my mortgage
4. I NEED school to start so the kids will stop being so messy and will have a more structured bed time
5. I get to have lunch today with one of my best friends, i haven't seen her in a few weeks and she always has great stories about her love life
6. I would love to learn how to relax. I'm such a highstrung person and its driving me insane
7. I slept 9 hours last night and am still exhausted and T snapped at me this morning when I said I was so tired becuase i slept like a rock and she barely got two hours last night because she was in pain
8. Aside from her grouchyness this morning (which she has already apologized for) we have been doing really well the last week or so, we reconnected while camping and our sex life is better than it has been in a year which is probably why I'm so tired
9. My house is a mess from the last couple of weeks and even though its tidy to the untrained eye I need to go home tonight and do some deep cleaning
10.I think i may have PMS, sorry for my lackluster 10 things.
1. I really should do some work.
2. I really should apply for a new job.
3. I really want a brownie.
4. and ANOTHER diet soda.
5. I vowed to lose 25 lbs before TTC.
6. That's 6-9 months.
7. I still want that brownie.
8. My foot is still broken.
9. And that soda.
10. I burnt my tongue last night.
1. Last Friday we met a realtor and got a market analysis on the condo.
2. Saturday I called the mortgage broker and we did her online application.
3. Today we're meeting with her and will find out how much we can borrow.
4. We already know how much we won't borrow (i.e. over our comfort limit).
5. Tonight we'll decide if we're going to put the condo on the market.
6. I had acupuncture yesterday and it was lovely.
7. It's really, really hot here and my dog is laying on his side to keep cool (he looks cute, but kind of dead).
8. We have a new fan that took us about 4 stores in person and a lot of calls before finding (NW heatwave= no fans for sale).
9. I'm reading the Brill book cover to cover.
10. This is most like the second to last cycle before we TTC.
1. I made myself a Lean Cuisuine (a white pizza with garlic and chicken) for lunch... it smelled amazing, but the taste just isn't delivering. I'm bummed.
2. This made me miss the AMAZING white pizza Trav and I got last year from a friend's son, who was selling it for a fundraiser. It was thee most amazing white pizza and if he comes around again, I'm buying a dozen!
3. TMI: Last night I finally felt well enough that Trav and I were able to have sex for the first time since morning sickness hit. I know he was a happy boy.
4. I'm really going to try to make the effort to have more sex... but its just so hard with how tired I've been, and how crappy I've felt. Hopefully with the end of the 1st tri (about 3 weeks) that will be easier.
5. Its supposed to get miserably hot and humid here today (about 90 and 80% humidity!). I'm thinking we're just going to eat salad or sandwiches for dinner since there is no way in hell I'm turning on any of our cooking appliances!
6. Actually I'll probably just make myself a few pickle pinwheels* since we picked up all the ingrediants last night and they sound so perfect right now.
7. * Pickle pinwheels = soften cream cheese until spreadable. Spread on deli slices of ham and wrap around whole pickles. Refridgerate until cool and cream cheese is firmed up. Slice into circles. SO freakin good.
8. Work is so so slow right now. Apparently that makes it even harder for me to find the drive to do any work. I should really be working on the few things I have... but no, I'm procrastinating.
9. We have a ton of interns this year, but no one bothered to coordinate with anyone else... so while there is practically no one here on fridays, mondays are so damn full we almost don't have enough space for them all! It's annoying.
10. This is the first time I haven't had trouble coming up with my ten things!
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD
