    Dear sleep,
    I've been working out so I REALLY need you for a full night.  I know last night you left me because of the storms and dogs, but please return tonight.

    Dear Rangers,
    I'm very excited for the game tonight!  I will definitely be wearing my sunglasses!

    Dear shins,
    I know  I have abused you in the past, but I've only done one week of c25k, and you are already giving me problems.  I'm trying to go easy here, so please work with me.

    Dear Sarah,
    Good luck today!

    Dear Lauren,
    I hope dinner goes well tonight.  Sending you good vibes.

  • Dear Lacey and Sarah, good luck!

    Dear Book Club, I am so looking forward to Saturday!

    Dear Leslie (and anyone else TTC), Of course you should discuss any exercise plan with your doctor.  But like Tiffany, I see pregnant girls working out at 24 all the time.  And I for one think it's a great idea.  I know if I were to get pregnant again, I would do so many things differently, and incorporating exercise safely throughout my pregnancy would be one of them.  And trust me, the better shape you are in when you conceive, the easier the pregnancy will be, as well as shedding the weight afterwards.

    Just my $.02.

    Oh and Dear Lauren, I hope all goes well tonight and Shortgirl I am jealous of your B&B weekend! 

  • Dear Sarah and Lacey.

    Good luck ladies!!  I'm sure all will go well. 

    Dear 75 lb dog,

    I don't understand why you think sitting on top of me last night during the storm was STILL not close enough to me....you big ol scaredy cat!!

    I was worried about this as well.  Especially with my current routine, I didn't think I would be able to continue it after.  I have an appt with my doctor next week and I'm going to talk to her about that though.

    Dear Sarah,

    You are a saint for having 3 dogs.  I love my pooch, and typically have a second foster around.  Lots of energy, but definitely fun.  The past weekend, I've been watching my mom and brothers dogs while they are out of town.  My house is just nuts with 3 big dogs running around.  I love em, but my goodness, I can't wait for my brother to get home today.   Kudo's to you.

  • Dear storm,

    I am so glad you brought us rain. But thanks to you, I got night two in a row of shiity sleep, and therefore skipped my workout to sleep an extra hour because I was exhausted. I'm ready for a good night's sleep.

    Guess I'll be working out after class, with my bio book on the treadmill with me.

    Mine are certainly a handfull!  And they have all been soooo hyper lately.  They are driving me crazy!  But I do love all of them! :-)  But it's definitely not for everyone and it's not easy! :-)

  • Dear Nesties, 

    You guys have a lot this morning!  I was going to respond individually, but it'd be too long.  So, Sarah & Lacey, good luck on your job things.  Ditto on the rain.  Leslie, I'm sorry about your leg - I hope it gets okay before the weekend!  Also, can you not cycle while pregnant?  I was under the impression that for the most part, you can continue to do your pre-baby things while pregnant, as long as you aren't extreme....?  Tiffany, welcome to the Kindle bandwagon :)  Jaymi, that impulse buy looks like a good one!  Lauren, have a lovely time at dinner tonight.

    Dear self,  DO NOT get sick.  Just don't do it.  I know you couldn't resist kissing DH when he got home, even though he was sick, so just resist the cold.  And this suspicious headache too.  Seriously, I don't have time for this!

  • Thanks everyone!  The good point is that it will be later because of DH's school, so there's always the excuse to wrap things up earlier since we'll need to get back home.

    Lacey -

    Yay!!  I just got notification that I have to fill out my mid year review stuff before the 1st. 

  • Lauren - I hate reviews.  I know my boss is happy with me and all - but I still hate reviews.

    Angie - Start drinking a ton of orange juice and take airborne.  It always helps me.  Also, drink lots of water.

  • Same here Lacey!  Although, I'm a little more worried about this one because it's my first with my new boss (who I've only worked for since after the wedding).  So we'll really just talk about the things I did with my last boss.
  • Dear Nesties,

    I'm still scared to go over to TB.  They are so graphic and there is lots of TMI.  I know I will have to venture over sometime but I'm not ready yet!

  • Dear OMHs,

    I'm looking for a wedding gift for someone and I can't decide. Please help. Stick out tongue

    Would you rather have an expensive serving platter (someone already bought the matching dinnerware) or a waffle maker and storage set? I want to spend about $100 and her registry is nearly exhausted. I thought about sending her money but I only have her parents address.

    Thanks,

    an indecisive OMH

  • Dear Sarah,

    My fingers are crossed for you!

    Dear Lacey,

    I hate evaluation time so congratulations!!!!

    Dear Dana,

    Just because you might be knocked up doesn't mean we're going to banish you.  Big Smile

    Dear Chelsea,

    I'm going to scold you too.  A nice looking lawn doesn't have to be expensive.  My dad waters every other day and his lawn looks very nice.  It also shows potential buyers (when you're ready to sell) that they're not going to have to sink a lot of money into a lawn if and when they buy your house.  Yes

     The platter.  I entertain alot and am always wishing I had a nice one.  I wouldn't know what to do with a waffle maker.  But obviously they do because they registered for it so I think either would be nice.

    I would rather have the waffle maker and storage set personally.  Does the couple entertain a lot?  Like Stephie said, she entertains a lot so she would prefer that.  I don't do as much entertaining but I do cook breakfast for DH and SD every saturday morning so this would be more handy for me.

    Agreed.  I would rather have a waffle maker.  :)

  • I would also rather have a waffle maker but it's only $30. The couple could easily buy that for themselves. The platter is just over $100. My line of thinking was that it might be better to buy them something that they may not buy themselves. Thoughts?

    I would love a $100 platter, especially if it matched my china.  I'm drooling just thinking about it.

    That's a great point. I would probably never buy myself a $100 platter, but I would easily buy myself a $30 waffle maker. In fact, I already have. I would use the waffle maker more, but I'd be glad to have the platter when I did have the opportunity to use it.
