It might feel like Monday but it's not. So let's bring a little fun to the board and share 10 random things.

Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. I just booked a 3pm meeting at a local Starbucks. Not only does this mean I get to treat myself to Starbucks but it also means my work day will likely end early
2. I just realized I'm going to be out of the office most of tomorrow and I haven't yet prepped the materials I need.
3. I have yet to get the b/w done that my OB ordered 2 weeks ago. The plan is to go to the lab after my Starbucks meeting.
4. I'm really tired today.
5. The house needs to be cleaned a little before K gets home tonight.
6. Once I finish cleaning I'm going to watch trashy tv I have dvr'd before K gets home
7. I feel awful that my dogs haven't had regular, proper walks in a few weeks.
8. Only 6 days until our NT scan. I hope the little prune is still doing well in there.
9. I'm thinking of treating myself to halfcaf instead of decaf coffee (see #4).
10. I'm thankful that the sun is shining.
1. I was supposed to go to Happy Hour/dinner with some co-workers, but half have bailed. I still don't know if the other half is going to go or we'll reschedule.
2. I would like my children to sleep through the night. My child who formerly slept like a log and never woke up is now waking 3-4x a night. And my child who woke 3-4x a night for 2 years is now sleeping all night long. I am tired. I never thought I still wouldn't be sleeping through the night at almost 3.5 years.
3. I really wanted a mocha frappacino this morning, but I was good since I got a hot mocha yesterday morning while we were running errands.
4. Now that L is doing homework/reading/writing at night I have full command of the remote. It is bad - I stay up watching silly tv.
5. I CANNOT wait for the new fall shows/season premieres. Summer tv stinks.
6. I am so relieved that the kids adapted so well to school on their first day. I hope it is a trend that continues.
7. I need gum. I don't have any.
8. I have 3 short work weeks in a row (holiday and then a long weekend next weekend!) YIPPEE! It is going to be October before I know it.
9. I might be a bit addicted to Facebook (it is a blessing that I can't access it from work.)
10. I am off to do some work!!!
1. I'm glad classes are starting. They are why I am in this job.
2. I am bored at work and hence behind.
3. I kind of need friends in the area but don't really care because I know we're leaving in about a year.
4. I am really nervous about finding a new job in time for everything.
5. I really really need to lose some weight before Jan.
6. Because I tried on 3 shirts this AM to find one that fit.
7. I'm excited for our "new" den.
8. I want a cookie.
9. I want to go running.
10. I sort of hate being tied to a train schedule but hate driving more.
1. I'm SO greatful that classes are over for the day.
2. I was unprepared and it felt horrible
3. I have a headache, and staring at the computer screen isn't helping me.
4. I've started working out on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a classmate and I'm hoping I start losing a little weight cuz none of my clothes fit me!
5. I was in the car for 13 hours on Sunday.
6. I went to my cousin's baby shower. So fun!
7. My mom drove and we almost ran out of gas in an industrial part of Gary. It could've been VERY interesting.
8. The ironic part was that we were driving around on fumes in the middle of a refinery. BP signs everywhere, but nowhere to get gas.
9. I'm going to clean the kitchen so that Katie is surprised when she gets up... I gues that means I don't clean up enough... b/c that shouldn't really be a surprise...
10. Hungry. Must find food now. Soup!
1. I'm addicted to gum - during the work day I can go through half a pack. easily.
2. I'm having a rough day. I've had far too many of these in the past few months.
3. BFF drama left me tossing turning all night. I'm at a loss for what to do.
4. Number three coupled with the fact that we didnt get home until 3am monday morning, means i'm exhausted today.
5. I need to plan something fun for out 10 year anni coming up. I know what i want to do...i just need to actually plan it.
6. i'm wearing a new sweater today. it was a bargain at the gap outlet for only $17.
7. I hate feeling sad when I know I've got so much to be thankful for.
8. There's a huge event going on in Hartford tomorrow. supposedly the former first lady is even going to be in town. i'm dreading the traffic.

1. I cleaned out my magazine rack and brought a huge stack of *** and BUST to share w/ coworkers.
2. But most of my coworkers called out sick today.
3. So there's a big pile of bitchness on my desk that my boss keeps commenting on whenever he walks by.
4. I made incredibly sweet raspberry pie last night and I'm counting down the minutes til I have some
5. I agreed to stay at work for a "happy hour" that has now morphed into a "meeting." Who creates an agenda for a happy hour?
6. I'm really tired
7. My internet is finally working at home. Hurrah! I heart RCN. Stpuid verizon modem was broken for 2 wks.
8. Along w/ working internet...we now have cable. We've already planned a little True Blood marathon time this weekend.
9. E and I had a lot of fun nesting this weekend. It was great to reconnect with her.
10. I really wish I could lose weight...and as a size acceptance warrior I feel terrible for thinking that
1. Annie is at Carols aunts house so I can get a nap before work tonight and I am on the computer rather than napping.
2. I decided I need to make changes in my life this week to make me happier. Now I have to stick with them and I don't know if I can.
3. I think I still have some post partum depression going on.
4. I paid hospital bills today from Annies birth... not fun.
5. I hate dealing with insurance companies.
6. My old dog doesn't seem to be doing too well and I keep checking to see if she is still breathing. I am scared to discover shes not.
7. I am having BFF drama too. Why do things have to be so hard sometimes?
8. This is starting to sound really down so I need to put in more positve things.
9. On my next paycheck I will have both overtime and holiday pay. I think I will treat Carol to the melting pot with the extra cash.
10. I am gonna make cookies after my nap before work. YAY!!!!

1. I have to work today. I don't want to.
2. I hate the fact that the lady at the bank can't get my last name right.
3. I can't wait to move, however, I wish people would BACK OFF us, and let Julie and I make our decision.
4. I love my dog.
5. Everyone is worried that our 'commute' to work is going to be too much, um hello it's 17miles, 30mins. It's NOT that bad, it's doable.
6. I have the worst cramps of my life. TMI, I'm sure, but still.
7. I need to exercise, a lot of my clothes don't fit. It sucks.
8. I wish I had a boat.
9. I need a new cell phone. Mine is Crapping out.
10. I really wish J's family would back off us! (Can you tell I'm annoyed)
1. I'm going to the gym this afternoon for some weight lifting for the first time in a few months.
2. I still have to do just as many push ups and sit ups (what I have been doing in lieu of weights,) but add in the weights without it taking too much time.
3. Going to see the endocrinologist tomorrow for 8 week check up on the new thyroid meds.
4. Then off to San Antonio in the afternoon for a pre-interview briefing.
5. The job, if I get it, will up root my family, but I really want it, and at the same time am fearful of "be careful what you wish for." It's a rollercoaster, I'm fortunate that K is very supportive.
6. K was sick this morning, it worries me because morning sickness should be over by now, and she had been feeling better, no fever though so that is good.
7. I have to miss K's dr's appointment tomorrow for my briefing, I'm sad about that.
8. I'm excited for the start of the football season. Ever since I was introduced to fantasy football I have become kind of a nut.
9. I'm also looking forward to seeing how many players we have come out for the team (not football) I coach.
10. This afternoon is kind of creeping by....
1. I want a massage but we can't afford it and I don't think I could lie on my boobs for that long.
2. I just ate a huge bowl of spaghetti and it was so yummy
3. S is playing wii and I want to watch tv...bummer that we only have one!
4. My parents bought us a video camera yesterday!
5. My dad wants a new flat screen tv (his is a few years old) and is giving us his new one. We are very excited for football season on a big new tv
6. I have a bad headache and it is making me cranky
7. Ella reset her spell count yesterday so we are in for another 5 days at least...bummer
8. We said good bye to one of her primary nurses (she will be on vacation for the next week and we should be gone before she gets back) and I cried the whole way to the car.
9 I love Janice (our nurse) but I really hope we don't see her next Wednesday
10 Ella is getting a transfusion tonight and I am both sad and happy about this. Sad because she needed one and happy because it may make her be able to come home sooner.
1. I read these lists each week and think, "Oh, I'll do one" and can never convince myself that I am that interesting. Going to commit to it today.
2. What seems like forever ago, I used to post under the name shychic99 - a separation and what feels like an eternity later - I told myself I should start a new goal of posting under my this name. I miss the board
3. I am an English teacher and we got all new curriculm this year...I am swimming in it.
4. I really am craving anything chocolate right now.
5. My lawn really needs mowed, but I am tired of mowing. I love that my grass is like carpet, but now want fall.
6. I really wish it was fall.
7. I should work out tonight, but the couch is calling me more than my elliptical.
8. I have to balance my checkbook. Sad...
9. My gf just decided to go out a mow the lawn (see #5). Just one of the reasons I love her.
10. I'm pushing "post"
