Re: TTT
1. I was in the North End (Little Italy) yesterday and bought myself a slice of ricotta pie. I brought it with me to work to have this afternoon. I would like to eat it now. Or now. How about now?
2. C took a picture of my belly this morning! Will get it uploaded tonight. We've been meaning to take one for weeks, and finally this morning I said "It's getting big!! Take a picture!!!"
3. C tucked me in at about 8:10 last night. I was exhausted. 5:30 this morning felt like a cruel joke.
4. Okay, I want to eat that pie.
5. I have one of our ultrasound pics up in my cube. I love looking over at it.
6. I can't believe I am almost done with the first tri!! WOAH!!
7. I'll be glad to have the cat fully out of the bag (what a weird idiom) after this weekend.
8. I am so reoccupied all the time thinking about the townhouses we've been looking at. I really think it's going to be a great solution for us.
9. I am now all maternity pants, all the time. I need to buy another plastic bin to store all my pre-preggo stuff in.
10. I don't know if it's just because of the cool weather, or being pregnant, or what, but C and I so anxious for the holidays!!! Bring on Thanksgiving and Xmas!! We talk about it all the time!

1) I think I need to stop eating oreos and milk before bed.
2) I just signed up to work an event starting at 7am on Thursday.
3) Because of #2 I'll have to leave my house by 6:30 on Thursday - this will be painful.
4) Speaking of pain I'm having back issues. Not my normal back issues. Definitely pregnancy related back issues and I'm not even half way through my pregnancy.
5) The dresser I want for the nursery is too short to use as a changing table. Now I don't know what to do because it's the only one that matches the crib (yes, I know things don't have to match)
6) I'm sure I look as tired as I feel today.
7) Oops I forgot I was working on this list and started a new project.
8) K and I must really be an old married couple - we're buying ourselves a mattress for Christmas instead of other gifts
9) Is it lunch time yet?
10) Nothing like a fire drill in cold weather to wake you up
1. I decided that today is going to be a positve, happy day. so far its workign pretty well.
2. I tried a recipe for crockpot orange chicken last night and it came out terrible. Andrea was a good sport and still ate it, but i had hard boiled eggs instead. I was so surprised b/c the blog post had 95 comments raving about the recipe and i followed it to a T. wierd.
3. Tonight i'm making pork loin. thats sure to be a winner!
4. tomorrow i have my first weigh-in following my return to weight watchers. i was doing great then AF showed up and with this bloat, i'll be surprised if i lose a pound.
5. i should update the pictures in my office - they are all 3+ years old.
6. Andrea's standing firm on her veto of taking in the stray kitty in our yard. i think at the least i'm going to try and catch it and bring it to the humane society to get checked out.
7. Speaking of which, while we were at the humane society this weekend, I was petting an oh so cute kitty who's chart indicated that if she was still there in a month, the original owner would take her back. Apparently the owner is currently in a battered women's shelter (where she couldnt have the cat). i felt so awful at the prospect of this woman not being able to get her cat back I wanted to offer to foster the kitty for however long she needed. But, as it turned out, she has a respiratory infection that our old man Mickey shouldnt be exposed to. such a sad situation all around.
8. wow, number 7 was long
9. The Invention of Lying was interesting...quirky and cute but also kind of strange. Andrea hated it.
10. I'm going to try and convince A to see Where the Wild Thing Are today

1. We put in an offer on a house yesterday!
2. Unfortunately, we're still waiting to hear back about it today...any minute now I hope.
3. If we don't get this house we're going back to a few on our short list.
4. I cannot concentrate on work or school, which is really bad because I'm behind on some stuff.
5. C's stressed about our insem plans this weekend. I don't like when she's stressed. I wish we had more time between the house stuff and trying this month, but we're taking next month off (and maybe December too), so this is it, maybe for 2009.
6. There's a chance we may be between homes for a week or two after closing on the condo before closing on the house. I need to start putting out feelers for a place to stay with friends.
7. Tuesdays are my long day...and this one is especially busy/stressful.
8. I cannot wait until the weekend. Right now, we have no plans. I love it!
9. I have so many things I want to blog about, but so little time to sit and write non-academic stuff.
10. I think next quarter I'm going to do directed research instead of an elective. That way I'll have more time to work on my project and still get the credits I need.
1. I have a bulldog that went as a bumble bee once. So ridiculously cute.
2. I can't wait to crack open my afternoon diet dew.
3. Finally the sun is out here and it's like I don't remember what it was like for the sun to be out. What is that burning orb?
4. I am looking forward to my walk to the car.
5. DW and I work at the same place and still don't see each other enough some days.
6. the faster I come up with these the closer I get to that Diet Dew.
7. I really hope that early 2010 brings us the baby news we hope for.
8. Next year this time we could have a newborn.
9. We are consulting today about next steps/IUIs. I am nervous and excited.
10. I really really hope #9 goes well. We are treating ourselves to a trip to a new grocery store afterward (HyVee came to WI, Iowa natives!)
I hope the meeting goes well!! and that your happy news is right around the corner

1. I am in Minneapolis for my conference.
2. I went to Mall of America today. It was fine. Nothing exciting. A big mall.
3. My co-worker and I went on the big rollercoaster - it was so fun!
4. Two of my other co-workers are so boring. One went to her room when the conference ended for the day at 2pm, put on her jammies, and is staying in her room for the rest of the evening. Okay.
5. I guess I am going to go eat dinner at the bar with a co-worker.
6. Even though I have no reason to wake up 2001 times during the night (due to kids) I still do. I guess old habits die hard. Plus, I am still on Eastern time and so I am waking up at 5:40am here and can't fall back asleep. Blech.
7. I miss L and and the kids.
8. The internet in the hotel is wacky - doesn't work in my room - so I have to go sit in the meeting room area.
9. I didn't make it to the next round in the Disney Moms Panel. I am secretly bummed. I thought I might.
10. We ate at Hell's Kitchen last night. It was good.
I loved the Mall of America, but probably because I an unruly obsession with Urban Outfitters, but I didn't get to ride any rides. I'm jealous. I remember when it was camp snoopy. le sigh.
1. I'm doing this on Wednesday because we've been moving since Monday.
2. I wish we were done moving already.
3. Our new house in freezing which is perfect for the hot summers but no so great for the cold winters.
4. I want to curl up on the couch with a blanket and a book and a cup of cocoa.
5. I wish I would have cleansed the house with a bundle of burning sage before we moved in.
6. The neighbors have an avocado tree which extends over our fence. Free avocados!!!
7. I get to make a cute Halloween themed cake for a 2 year old boys birthday party this weekend. I can't wait!
8. My daughters teacher said she is advanced in almost all areas at school, I'm so proud.
9. My daughters hearing specialist said that her hearing is back to normal and she may need speech therapy now. She has a slight lisp and other speech impediments from her hearing loss.
10. I need water.
