Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. I got totally soaked through all my clothes biking to work today.
2. I have to put those wet clothes back on in an hour to go home.
3. I get to spend the afternoon at home doing feel good things like making a pie and freezing tomatoes.
4. Sprinkles and pouring rain are not the same thing.
5. I want a week off where I clean and cook and do house projects.
6. I am so proud of us for surviving a Family Values Tour (visit to my parents and others).
7. I have competing coffee and Diet Dew addictions that make it hard to drink the water I am trying to change to.
8. Let's hope 2010 has good TTC news.
9. It's almost dark enough out to be night time.
10. My dog won't care if it's raining - she'll just be happy to have me home early.
1. Cake orders are starting to pour in. *Bows head and says THANK YOU*
2. DD's surgery went well last week and she can talk again as of today.
3. I need to do laundry. BAD.
4. Why is it 103 degrees out today?
5. I'm thinking of planting mondo grass in my patio garden since most of the veggies died off.
6. I want some mushroom barley soup for dinner.
7. Running my own business is SO much better than working for someone else, even on the nights when I'm up until 2am decorating a cake.
8. DW turned 32 today
)
9. Is it possible to find a gay friendly dance school around here? DW and I want to take lessons.
10. My cats are silly.
Two Mommies Healing Hearts
1. My MIL's husband, is the most awful man I've ever met. I can't stand him.
2. We move on Saturday, not to the place we planned on at first but we are just as happy.
3. I can actually get up and walk around today. It's nice. Although my pace is very very slow.
4. I finally decided on Paint colors. woop woop
5. I bought new sheets today. 750 thread count
6. My MIL is a serious shopaholic. I wonder if it's okay though since she can afford it.
7. We need a new/want a new car. However, it's not currently in the budget. We will be keeping our 98 Honda Accord until it blows up, and even then we'll probably just keep it.
8. I swear that there are pregnant women everywhere!
9. A lady named her children Aaliviyah and Jaxsyn. I want to know what the hell is wrong with her.
10. I can't wait to go back to work. I still have 6days. *sigh*

I love this site for just this kind of situation: http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/
1. Home today getting some rest.
2. Met our midwife yesterday - we loved her and the birth center seems great. It is right next to the hospital, which is great for peace of mind too.
3. I just had V8 for the first time today - not bad, like cold tomato soup.
4. My food aversions make it hard to satisfy my constant hunger!
5. C has class tonight. Boo.
6. I'm excited for all the tv shows coming back.
7. Did everyone see Heidi Klum at the Emmys? She looked so great with her giant belly!
8. I have a framed picture, sitting on the guest bed that's been there for weeks waiting for me to hang it. I'll get there. Eventually.
9. I got my haircut this weekend - was just supposed to be a trim, but it's too short.
10. I'm excited to be 8 wks tomorrow!
sahm ~ toddler breastfeeder ~ cloth diaperer ~ baby wearer
1. Today was a long day, but luckily now I'm in pjs and don't have too much to do.
2. Yesterday I took one of the dogs to the vet for surgery. He had a growth on his leg. While in the waiting room I decided to look at it, and it was gone! He had bitten the thing off! Totally disgusting, but he saved us a lot of money
3. I don't remember if I've told you girls or not, but we've settled on a date to begin TTC! After graduation- May/June 2010. Like, for sure this time
4. My eye has been twitching like crazy lately! It makes me feel like I'm cracked out.
5. I'm making those pumpkin cookies again today b/c I ate all the ones I was going to send... :-/
6. I'm also making our all time FAVORITE meal tonight! Enchiladas... it takes something like three hours from beginning to end, but it's SO worth it.
7. I had a stomach ache today, so I ordered just a piece of bread at Subway- they charged me for a whole sub
Dummies.
8. K turns 30 this November, and I'm bummed that I can't throw her a party. We don't really have any friends around here, and the only ppl who I think would come will have just had a baby. Any ideas of what else I can do for her? My spending limit is pathetically low... like $50.
9. I love Pink and hope she's happy & healthy now.
10.I'm so ready to not be a student!!!!
1. i'm going to my first hockey game of the season tonight! some friends of ours had an extra ticket so they offered it to me because they know how big a fan i am. i'm excited!
2. i think i'm going to take thursday off. i have to take the afternoon off anyway, so i might as well make a day of it, right?
3. i've got a project going for my friend. i sent the second installment in today's mail, so she should get it tomorrow.
4. she's getting a private concert by a nationally-known singer/songwriter this weekend, and i got invited with about a dozen other friends but i can't go! i'm so bummed.
5. we'll be at an all-day childbirth class, so i'm missing it for a good reason.
6. i want to kiss said singer/songwriter for doing this for my friend. it will lift her spirits so much.
7. i'm doing a concert with a chorus i used to sing with. or at least i'm supposed to. i caved to my mom's requests to come back for just this one, but the concert is november 21st and the baby is due the 14th. we'll see if i actually make it!
8. the computer system i use for work is being stupid. i keep getting kicked out in the middle of things for "scheduled maintenenance" and it's driving me crazy.
9. not that i'm not already a bit crazy.
10. i think i might splurge and eat dinner at the arena tonight.
1. We had an amazing weekend at the Oregon coast.

3. We're having dinner and a movie with a friend and his sister tonight,
4. This weekend we're going to pick up the living room set that friends of ours are giving us.
5. Since we don't have space we're getting a storage unit for it all.
6. Hopefully we'll sell soon the condo soon and buy a new place and it will be so worth it once it's there!
7. Having our place on the market isn't as bad as I anticipated, but I really hope it sells soon.
8. C is feeling nervous about ttc while we're in the process of selling/buying, so we're discussing postponing starting for another month or two.
9. Yesterday was CD1 and my HSG is next Monday.
10. I just want to know one way or another if we'll be doing an insem in 2 weeks...
Could you make her a photobook like the snapfish ones online of your favorite moments together up to this point? What about some burnt cd's of songs that remind you off all your moments together. If you are a sewer you could make her a nice quit for right aroun $50. Also IF you two are into jewelery bidz.com has some options.
1. My work week has been really busy
2. Today my boss micromanaged what font I should use in a handout
3. I'm debating how many chocolate chip cookies to allow myself tonight
4. I think tomorrow I'll be telling my co-workers about the baby
5. K is sitting next to me grading papers
6. This happens very rarely, but we have LOGO on
7. My dog is wandering the backyard and refuses to come in
8. Oh wait - she just walked back on her own
9. There is a leak somewhere between our master bathroom and the ceiling down stairs
10. 18 more days to raise $45,000
1. We just got back from visiting my parents in GA.
2. We are already unpacked. Go us!
3. The kids were so overtired tonight that they were driving us NUTS.
4. Thankfully, they just fell asleep.
5. L has some health concerns and is getting additional testing this week - it is making me nervous.
6. I love that the fall season of tv has started.
7. We had a fabulous vacation - but wow, was it hot.
8. Our kids are so freaking funny - even when they don't mean to be or it shouldn't be.
9. I need new fall clothes.
10. I don't want to spend the money for new clothes.
1. I keep looking for the new Halloween flavor Dots, but haven't found them so far. Blood Orange, Candy Corn, and Ghost
2. We're taking three weeks off between the end of our triathlon season (Sept 13) and the start of marathon training (Oct 5). It's weird to not go to the gym in the evening. It's awesome to sleep in instead of going to the pool in the morning.
3. Because of said time off, I'm on an awesome cooking streak. Last night I made pumpkin-spinach ravioli. Tonight we had butternut squash and apple soup w/ homemade croutons and bay scallops, and I made pumpkin oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow.
4. We have also settled on the official start to our TTC. Fall 2011. That seems like a long way away but we decided that we definitely want to go to New Zealand and we might want to do a half-Ironman before kids, and that will take savings and training (and thus, time).
5. We're going to visit my brother in NYC in a couple of weeks and I'm excited. I usually go 3-4 times a year but I haven't been much this year and I'm finding all kinds of stuff I want to check out - like the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck, and this Japanese bakery, and Governor's Island.
6. I'm excited that How I Met Your Mother and 30 Rock are back, especially now that Wipeout is over for the summer. I like some laughs.
7. I have over 50 books on my "to be read" shelf, thanks to Paperbackswap.com. I need to step away - or start reading faster!
8. Love Etsy, and want to buy all of my Christmas gifts off of there this year. I think I can do it, although my dad will be a stretch. But maybe it'll be the best thing I ever got him.
9. My sister started college this month and she is doing well and I can tell she's going to thrive. She has always been very independent but it still scares me a little to think of her living so far from my parents. I still think of her as a baby bird in some ways - just a really strong baby bird who wouldn't let anybody mess with her.
10. I found out my *actual* bra size when I went to London in March, and now I can't buy bras anywhere but Nordstrom's or online (HerRoom.com, Bravissimo.com, etc.), and I really do not understand why women who wear anything above a D cup have to work so hard to find bras in this country. I look and feel so much better w/ my new bras and now I feel bad for all the people walking around thinking they are, say, a 36D when really they are a 32F or 32G! Your ribcage is not bigger than your waist! Think about the number they are feeding you and see if it makes sense! Run! Run to Europe or Nordstrom's and buy REAL bras that REALLY fit with no side spillage and the band going straight across your sides (not up) and the middle touching your chest between your boobs, not with an inch or three inches of space in there - that means the cups are too small! DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A B, C, OR D CUP!
