Good morning, Ladies!
I wanted to fall back asleep after my alarm went off and it was so hard to pull myself out of bed. I'm sure the bottle of wine that I almost finished myself last night didn't help.
My right eye is acting up again...damn you allergies!! I'm considering taking a half day and finishing up some last minute shopping, but I have tons of work. People have already started slacking off for the holidays. One of my coworkers is out until February after this week...WTF.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Re: Good morning, Ladies!
i can't believe you are getting allergies now! this is the only time that i don't get them (when it gets cold!)
i just took my mom to the airport and am cancelling my 2nd dentist appt today. i need a day off from so many appts!
I never had allergies when it was cold either, but for some reason this year it's different. It looks like I have pink eye all the freaking time...ugh.
Izzy: I've been dealing with allergies too!! and I've had a sinus infection twice in the last two months....I'm come to the conclusion that I'm going to have a runny knows and scratchy throat all winter!
I woke up thinking today was Friday
I have a lot to do this weekend with just running around and finishing things up for Christmas and the wedding.
Anyone have any fun plans for this weekend?
My birthday is on Saturday and the H's birthday is on Sunday. Not entirely sure how much fun it will be though all things considered.
We're going to go get a Christmas tree this weekend if it doesn't rain. We haven't even had time to decorate for Christmas.
Today is my first day back to work and it just feels so odd to go back to normal everyday life so soon.
Today's my last day in the office for the week. Thank goodness. This has been an intense week, and I'm ready for some R&R.
Nat - hang in there! I often find that distractions (holidays, birthdays, etc.) are the best medicine after a sad time.
I have a lot of cooking and baking planned for the weekend - Snickerdoodles for cookie exchange (Sat.); and my first-ever turkey noodle soup and banana nut muffins (Sun.)
nat, i cannot imagine how hard this must be for you and hubby. i hope you have a nice quiet weekend together
)
Morning - Nat, I hope the weekend can distract you and you guys can enjoy your birthdays. hang in there.
Today is my Friday. I took off tomorrow and H is calling out - we're going to finish Christmas shopping in the morning, then I have some major baking to do. I have to make 11 dozen cookies for a swap on Sun - I'm making those PB kiss cookies. Hoping H can help me a little. I also have to make brownies for my MIL's 60th bday on Sat night. I'll have most of the day Sat to finish my cookies and make the brownies. Sunday I will be relaxing and swapping cookies!
Morning! I woke up at 3am gasping for air from a bad dream. I swear, I am the worst sleeper ever.
I think my H and I are getting a Christmas tree tonight. I wasn't going to do one at all bc I am so swamped with work and school, but I listened to Christmas music on B101 to and from class last night. It relaxed me and put me a little more in the holiday spirit.
Nat- I am really sorry you guys are going through this. I hope that each day becomes a little easier. I agree with Erin that sometimes throwing yourself into "normal" things helps. Sending you lots of hugs!
I meant to say the H's dad's birthday is Sunday.
I think we may invite his dad and step mom over for cake on Sunday.
My eye looks like I have pink eye as well it keeps tearing and is so red on the outside corner...it hurts, I get this alot in the winter and it's my allergies. Hope your is better soon.
Natalie- I checked out your blog and am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Krista- I am waiting to see your headband! Hope you sleep well tonight!
Natalie- things eventually get easier as time passes......I hope work is a good distraction for you right now.
Natalie: I just saw your blog....I am so sorry!! I can't imagine what you and your H are going through
After reading about everyone making cookies, I'm sad that I'm not this year....I normally make 8-10 kinds but just don't have the time. My favorite are Ricotta cookies!!
I hope everyone has a good weekend!! Happy early Birthday Natalie!
