what are your 10 things today?
Re: 10 things Tuesday?
1. My parents are meeting DW's parents for the first time Saturday.
2. We put up 41 pints of roasted pumpkin in the last few weeks.
3. I have decided to take the day off tomorrow to clean the house.
4. I am addicted to Starbucks ...yet will get a coffee downstairs in the acceptable but not yummy cafeteria.
5. I can't wait to TTC in January.
6. I am hoping for good news for all other TTC-ers on this board and in our friend circle.
7. Wow I am totally wanting that latte from Starbucks.
8. Dinner is a roast that is making itself at home right now.
9. Running out of things to say....
10. Happy day to all of you on Thursday!
1. Yesterday was the laziest day I have had in 3.5y. Poor Gray slept all day and I spent the day in my pjs, watching old Oprahs on DVR, and surfing the internet (while checking on him every 30-45 minutes.) Well, that is until 5:30, when all hell broke loose. Let me just say that it involved a bath, clean pjs for all, and the Bissell Steam Carpet Cleaner. Sigh.
2. I love my new phone (Eris Droid.) So cool - and I am not really a gadget person.
3. I have a situation at work that is driving me nuts.
4. My office went from 55 degrees to 80 degrees. It is really warm in here - and I am always cold.
5. It has rained here a lot. I am tired of cold and rainy. Makes traffic 100% worse, the kids can't get out and play, and it is just so darned dreary.
6. The kids (Carter especially) are so excited about Christmas. It is the first year they have really understood it and are intrigued by Santa, reindeer, presents, lights, etc. I love it
7. When L picked Carter up from school yesterday, she said that when the kids were talking about what they were thankful for, Carter stood up and said, "I am thankful for my 2 moms." Awwwww.
8. I am praying I don't get what Gray has since he slept inches from my face last night.
9. I am REALLY praying that L doesn't get what Gray has since he slept inches from her face. She always gets things100x worse than anyone else.
10. I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I was so comfy and cozy in there.
1. I'm hungry for lunch and not enthused by the leftovers I packed.
2. So excited to get out of work at 2:00 tomorrow!
3. Even more excited to have 4 days off after that!
4. Less than 3 weeks from our big u/s.
5. I need maternity sweaters and am not having luck at all.
6. Still no idea what to get C for Xmas.
7. So looking forward to Thanksgiving food!
8. Not looking forward to being home along tonight while C is at class.
9. So glad that C's 2 classes are almost over, and that then she's taking the semester off!!
10. Sometimes people post really horrible pics of you on facebook and then tag you in them. I'm not into that.

1. I'm thankful for the extra job that allowed me to earn enough money to buy our nursery furniture.
2. Although the extra job was tiring I kind of wish I had another week of extra pay coming.
3. DW has been sick for months with no answers coming from the doctors. Yesterday we might have figure it out and I'm really hoping we'll have answers soon so she can start feeling better.
4. I want to make two pies for Thanksgiving but since there are only four of us K says I just need to make one :-p
5. I'm waiting for a reporter to call me back so I don't really want to leave my desk but I have things I need to do.
6. Just when I was thinking I hadn't felt the baby kick today it moved. I think s/he can read my mind.
7. Somehow I managed to get peanut butter on my shirt. Really? How is it that being pregnant seems to mean I constantly have stains on my shirts?
8. I really want to rearrange my office. The current layout is not set up for efficency.
9. It's officially noon which means I can eat lunch now :-)
10. What type of cookie should I make for a cookie exchange? CT- can I still find the world's yummiest chocolate chip cookies on your blog?
1. I've decided to forgot WW until Friday. I am tired and don't care.
2. My class was cancelled tomorrow.
3. I am considering "forgetting" I need an oil change until tonight and seeing if I can work from home tomorrow.
4. I hate the cold.
5. And the dark.
6. So I am questioning why exactly we live up here.
7. I am excited to shop for a new party dress.
8. Is a blondie a bad lunch?
9. I dropped Bailey at day camp this morning and it was sort of sad because he usually makes me walk him to the door and didn't.
10. I will be a mess when my kid does that.
you most certainly can! Although my current cookie obsession involves the toll house dark chocolate and mint morsels. Recipe here. they are soooo good.

Ahhh, yes now I remember you mentioning that! :-p
1. I'm not too pleased with having to work Thanksgiving Eve, Thanksgiving Day, and the day after. However, I'm counting down to Christmas because J and I both get 2 weeks off!
2. I'm so ready to move. I'm so tired of dealing with immature neighbors that seem to complain about every little thing. Really? I thought we were all adults here.
3. I'm starting to get nervous about finding jobs. How early is too early to apply???
4. I'm hungry. It's 1pm and we haven't had lunch yet but J is sleeping and I don't want to wake her up.
5. I'm so excited that when we live in Atlanta we will be closer to my brother and get to see him more often.
6. I wish it was colder here. It's hard to feel like it's the holidays when it's still 70 degrees outside and people are laying out at the pool.
7. I don't want to buy new scrubs for work when I only have 2 months left and chances are I won't be able to wear them at my new job but they are starting to really look bad.
8. I can't believe my niece is turning 11 next week. Seriously??? It seems like just yesterday she was a sweet cuddly newborn and now she's already got the "tween" attitude going on.
9. I can't get into my e-mail today and it's driving me nuts.
10. I really wish we could start TTC again but it has to wait until after the move. I just can't stop thinking about babies. It doesn't help that I drive by Buy Buy Baby every single day on my way to work. Nor does it help that it seems like all the patients I've had recently are all 17 and pregnant.
1. Annie got her shots today. 6 of them. I felt so bad for her.
2. When we got home we took a three hour nap. I needed it as much s she did.
3. I wish I wasn't working nights.
4. I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving.
5. I am a huge dork who is all excited for the Macys parade. It is my official start to the hoilday.
6. I am going to hunt down my Muppet Christmas Carol DVD so I can watch it the night of Thanksgiving at work on my laptop.
7. I bought three new cookbooks and I never have time anymore to cook with Annie Grace.
8. The infection in my jaw is slightly better but I am tired of being in pain.
9. I really want Ghiradelli peppermint bark.
10. Annies smile makes my whole day.

BTW... ctbride stay away from the cool pics. I got one for Christmas last year and I hated it. I eneded up buying a new camera three days before Annie was born just beacuse I was worried the pictures from her birth would be bad.
Check out the Canon (Elph) - they are small and I have always had good luck with them. I saw that the Canon site had the 1100 (which is what I have) refurbed for $119 - but they are out of stock. Too bad since it really is a good camera.
Check overstock.com too.
1. Hi girls. I feel like I'm never here anymore!
2. I taught a math lesson today that was confusing to even me! The teacher said I did good, though. Maybe it was better than I thought.
3. Wow, #3 and I'm already searching for things to say...
4. Oh, Happy Thanksgiving!
5. This will be our first family holiday with my new niece and I'm so excited.
6. I just found out that this song I've been jamming to lately is Miley Cyrus.
7. I looked at our wedding registry to see if I had something on there that I wanted (and to make it was still up!) and I saw what my parents got me for Christmas/Birthday (?). I'm sort of sad to know but sort of happy about the gift itself. Does that make me immature?
8. I want a baby. or three. I had to say it.
9. I bought Katie's Christmas gift the other day and I looooooove it. It's a t-shirt that says, "Marriage is so gay". Yay
I don't know where she'll ever wear it, though... IN isn't exactly a safe haven for the gays.
10. I wish I had a handyman/woman friend like Lorelai has in Luke. You know, someone who would notice things that needed to be fixed and would just come over and fix it because they cared about you and knew you wouldn't ever do it yourself. Wouldn't that be lovely?
1. wait....it's tuesday?
2. my mil is staying with us through tomorrow afternoon to help us get settled in at the house, and let me just tell you it has been so, so nice to have her here.
3. i am so in love with my wife and our son it is unbelievable.
4. things have been so crazy and most of the time i have no idea what time it is or what day it is. other than tuesday, apparently.
5. he is so cute and doing so well, and has started gaining back the weight he lost in the hospital.
6. we have no idea what our thanksgiving plans are going to be yet.
7. i think i've already kissed every inch of his head and hands and feet and neck and belly.
8. he's so alert. it's amazing to see him looking around everywhere.
9. i'm ready for sleep.
10. it's not tuesday anymore, is it?
