Morning

Morning ladies, how is everyone? Welcome to a new week (for those who aren't in that strange place with Sundays as the first week day :) )

QOTD: If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

Re: Morning

  • Morning! I had a child who decided that 5:50 was a great time to wake up! Yup she's on the floor playing on her play mat at the moment! I can't believe that I'm up and "dressed" at 6:30!

     Today, if I don't fall back to sleep, we have puppy school and then my Mum is coming over to go to Trier to get wool for her to knit E a skirty for us to try (wool skirt type thing to use as a diaper cover)

    QOTD: At the moment it would be how to use my woven wrap, I can use my Mai Tie but still not the woven :(

  • Thanks to the LO, I'm up too. It's 1:20 am here though so I am hoping to get back to sleep.

    QOTD: It "might" be because of the recent situation but I would love to be the baby whisperer at this point. If I could learn that skill right now, right away, it would make me really happy. ;)

  • Good morning ladies!  I'm doing alright, a bit tired, but it's manageable at the moment.  Today I am going to go get Jax's US passport pictures done while Leo takes a nap and grammy and pap pap stay to watch him.  Other than that, nothing is happening here.

    QOTD: If I had the time and energy, I'd like to learn Greek.  It'd make speaking with dh's family a hell of a lot easier.

  • Morning. The weekend went too fast! Today is a busy day at work, hen we're having dinner with H's friends.

    Globalwife - Your daughter is adorable!

    QOTD:  I wish I could learn how to sing.

  • Morning ladies!  Nothing much going on today, just getting caught up from having Friday off.  Lots of laundry and we'll be going grocery shopping tonight.  Otherwise, a pretty typical day!

    QOTD:  I'd learn the violin.  I'm taking lessons now, but I rarely have time to practice, so I'm not getting as good as I'd like.

  • Morning! I'm in one of those countries where our week started yesterday :-P

    Things here are good! My legs are a little sore from Zumba last night, but other than that, looking forward to a quiet day at work, and hopefully quiet evening at home :-)

    QOTD: Probably learn another language. I have forgotten any Spanish I learned. And Arabic would be super helpful here. Oh well :-P

  • Morning! I'm working from home this morning and then I've got a business meeting in central London this afternoon. I might pop into a few shops and see if I can find a dress for my cousin's wedding this autumn; everything I have is black and white and has been worn so many times. It's time for something new!

    QOTD: I would love to be able to play the piano really well, or to be able to speak multiple languages fluently. While I get compliments on my Spanish, I never know how sincere they are and I really wish I felt more confident in it. 

  • Morning!  We just got back from Edinburgh last night.  We had a great time, but I'm so exhausted.  Looking forward to being super lazy today while Will naps.

    QOTD:  I've wanted to learn how to knit for a long time.   

  • Good morning! Nothing going on today, have a super busy week coming up and I'm still very, very exhausted all the time so I'm relishing the chance to do nothing tonight.

    QODT: I'd love to know how to sew. I have gotten rid of so much clothing because it's too big or I've ripped it or something... it would be awesome to be able to fix it and make things fit properly.

  • At work with tons of meetings.  Sigh.  But it's a good day anyway!

    QOTD: I would like to learn how to learn foreign languages.  I have tried and just can't do it.  I'm so lucky I live in England or I'd be screwed!

    I like pineapples...they make life just so much more interesting.

    Oh good one! Then I could hem my pants without needing a tailor :-)

    Pitt, you'll be happy for that stash of clothes that's too big soon enough!

    I started the week in a fit because DH almost made me late for work. I got out of the car without kissing him on top of some snippy comments I made. But I've already cooled down and I'll be much better when I see him again this evening. I'll kiss him then : ).

    QOTD: I'd like to play the guitar. And paint, though I have absolutely no artistic talent.

    Anniversary
  • Good morning.  I had a great, but busy, weekend with my parents.  We wandered around Hampstead on Sunday (got got in the rain, but seeking cover in a pub wasn't such a bad alternative!), then did a museum yesterday and saw a show last night.  I'm pretty exhausted today though, and had such a hard time getting out of bed.  We're heading on a Jack the Ripper walk tonight, so should be fun.

    QOTD: I would love to be able to speak Spanish. It would really make my H and ILs happy, and I've been wanted to learn for ages.

  • Morning, my FIL is here and DH and I have the day off.  I haven't see FIL and although he is interesting at times (he's planning a family holiday for everyone in 2018), he is really funny.

    We are off to have a tour of parliament today and then a pub quiz this evening.

    QOTD: The ability to learn multiple languages, languages are really hard for me.  I would also love to be a master a yoga.

  • Morning! We're doing well. Had a great weekend, seeing our neighbors and some other friends. Georgia has just learned how to pull herself up in her crib, so naptime is hell-ish. She pulls herself up and cries and cries because she can't get down, and then if you put her down again, she cries because she wants to be standing. Its a loose-loose situation. I'm trying to teach her how to stand and sit today ;-)

    I have been playing with photography since Georgia was born, and if I could learn anything, it would be that. I would love to know photoshop, everything about cameras and lenses (and have the money to buy them all!)

  • My DD decided to wake up at 5:30 as well,some grocery shopping planned and some playing with her new play kitchen.

    I wish I was more computer savvy and could learn how to do more then just use e-mail and surf the web. 

  • Afternoon. I'm taking D to the doctor today to talk to them about finally getting his MMR, and the allergic reaction he had yesterday. Fun times. Tomorrow we're heading up to Edinburgh to visit a couple museums, lunch and then hanging out with SIL and BIL.

    QOTD: I wish it was easier for me to learn cantonese so I can eavesdrop on MH's family. I also wish that I could learn how to quilt as well as my grandmother. She's  professional and does gorgeous work.

  • Sawadee Ka from Thailand!  I'm in Bangkok for the night for a pitch tomorrow morning.   Flew in early today for a meeting with a sister agency, now I'm relaxing and enjoying a Chang Beer in my hotel before going to get dinner with a co-worker. Pitch is early tomorrow and I'm back to PP tomorrow evening.

    Unfortunately this meant I was at work all weekend pulling the presentation together.  I swear, I've never worked so many hours in my life, and this is friggin Cambodia!

    QOTD: I'd want to be fluent in at least one more language (preferably French as I'm already on the way) if not 2

    Well that was a crazy couple of years.

  • Good Afternoon - it's 4pm here now. Not too much on tap for today - work, zumba with a friend tonight, then dinner & tackling our ever-growing to do list! I love traveling on the weekends but I usually feel overwhelmed trying to get back on top of everything right away on Monday morning!

    I would love to learn to clear my scuba mask without trying to breathe in water and feel like I am going to drown! DH is making me practice in the pool on Wed and I have been stressfully DREADING IT since the moment we got home Sun night Sad

    also...French would be nice so I could actually communicate with people in my new adopted country! I hate my accent when I try, but hopefully they appreciate the effort.
