Finally Friday
A dios, sucky week.
Little sleep last night. Stupid-trucker-who-can't-figure-out-how-to-make-his-turns-blocking-an-intersection-and-then-the-on-ramp this morning (yeah, he missed TWICE). And half the parking lot at work is coned off b/c I don't know why.
At least the Eagles won last night which means I get a free lunch w/ a coworker who is a J-E-T-S fan.
TG for the early closing today.

Re: Finally Friday
Good Morning and happy last holiday weekend of the summer!!
Good day yesterday: gym, errands, bought my friends baby a birthday gift, checked out a new apple laptop for DH, played with pinterest, and pizza and beer for dinner while watching football. And... fall is nearly here! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I'm headed up to Boston for a BBQ hosted by my LLM program and I need to buy books, which blows. Should be a fun day though!
Happy Labor Day!!!
Oh and a little AW, our wedding was submitted to a magazine (local - Newport mag) by our photographer and it was published!!! I love seeing us in print!
I'm all dressed up and made up today, PBS is coming to shoot part of some documentary about America. They were blocking shots yesterday and the day before and I'm probably going to be in the background of a quite a few shots because my desk is right next to the media room where they'll be doing the majority of the filming. I don't want to look gross on TV, but honestly, I'd rather not be on TV at all.
My best friend from high school recently contacted me on facebook. I think the last time I spoke to her was at the wedding. She's not very well off right, has a really bad medical problem which is interfering with her job search.
I'm soooo looking forward to the long weekend, even though H and I will probs just spend it cleaning/working on the house.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
hey all!!
Tired but in a great mood because the Badgers kicked butt last night!!! AND the packers one too (kinda worried for a bit though). So going into the weekend with a double football win. :-)
J starts goose hunting tonight. ridiculous. AND the muffler on his truck broke last night, but not just the muffler but also some pipe too i guess. Told him he's not going to be driving his truck all over this weekend just to go kill some geese. He needs to either get it fixed asap, or have the other guys he's hunting with drive.
Count down till 430. Tired of being at work. Just in a mood when it comes to work lately.
TGIF all!!!
Morning! I am beyond exhausted this morning. I stayed up WAY too late last night watching a show on Discovery about the re-building at Ground Zero. Has anyone else been watching this? It's really interesting, and so addicting. I can't believe it's been 10 years since then. Seems like just yesterday... Watching all the re-building really makes me miss living in NYC.
We went and ran some errands last night to get last minute stuff for the trip. We stopped at REI to get a money belt, and I found the coolest thing ever - a bra stash pouch that snaps around your bra strap and then tucks inside. K thinks I'm nuts, but I'm geeking out over using this little thing to hide money in my bra (b/c why just tuck it in there, if I could have a special silky pouch?!) Ha ha.
I get out of work today at 2, and still have a lot of errands to run and packing to do. I'm getting all giddy and nervously excited!!
We made it! I am so happy for the long weekend.
Last night I didn't do too much. There was nothing on so I watched the marathon of I didn;t know I was pregnant. Before I got pregnant I was so scared i would be on that show. I had was super irregular and kinda always was in denial when I was late and never POAS. I actually thing I had signs days after become pregnant.
I almost killed Greg last night, he went out after work. At 1:30 he texted me saying he would be home after he won his dart game, I fell asleep. When I woke up at 3:30 he wasn't home so I called him, he didn't pick up, so I kept calling him (he left his phone at our friends house) When my phone died awhile ago, I lost all my numbers and still don't have a lot of them back. So I don't have the friends number he was with anymore. I was 5 minutes away from calling Greg's boss, who is our good friend, to get the number because she also works the restaurant. Thankfully he got his phone back and pick up on the 20th time I called and this only really lasted maybe 20 minutes. Needless, to say he will not be doing that again. I actually got so nervous because he is usally very good at letting me know if he is going to be out late.
TGIF! So glad it's the end of the week.
I worked all 3 jobs yesterday and J wonders why I didn't want to have sexy time. Think with your other head and you might realize it. Anywho, other than working all day, J did cook steaks and fries (I wanted some veggies but beggers can't be choosers). He didn't marinate them (claims he didn't have time) but other than that, they were good.
I about strangled (okay not really) a kid this morning. I know he has emotional/behavior problems but dude, I'm not MAKING you come to speech, you don't have a CHOICE. So after half the time was wasted chasing him down the hall then to office and throwing papers and chairs around in my room, I gave up. Whatever kid. It's Friday. I don't know why you hate me but I give up.
I really just want to go home and sleep but not happening. Going to the nursing homes tonight and again in the morning and then going to ATL for the weekend. Braves game Sunday and seeing an old friend at some point.
That sounds awesome!
I'm crabby abby today, only because AF will be here in a few days. But, this is a 3-day weekend and I have vacation coming up soon. I'm peeved because today is usually WFH but for some unknown reason, VPN isn't working (I checked last night) so I was forced to come in instead of asking someone in the office to log me on (which I was logged on when I left not sure why it won't allow me access). I feel bad for our dog, I did not walk her last night or take her to the park to let her run around like a banshee but HAVE to do that tonight.
Anyway, I have acupuncture this afternoon and our office is closing at 1pm, yippy for that. I will kill some time with running errands and maybe reading my Jaycee Dugard book outside. DH and I both agreed that we're ready for cooler weather and he and I also had sexy time last night (which was great since we were on a dry spell for too long).
My weekend ahead will be one with no plans! I am meeting up with a running group on Sunday morning, maybe we'll rent a movie or two and then the rest will be lounging, painting the trim in our living/dining area (so it all matches, lol) and sleeping in or napping.
Totally forgot that DH cleaned up the garage yesterday and it was to my surprise, hoorah!
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
SO glad it's Friday. I can't wait to have hubby home for the long weekend, though he hasn't really figured out what is going on, so I may have some time alone too. Hopefully we'll get some more riding time in this weekend too. My arms finally stopped feeling sore some time yesterday.
Went to meet hubby to have pizza for dinner last night. Just glad I didn't have to cook. Had a phone call from a center about an hour away (50 miles) to sub for four weeks in a preschool class, starting Tuesday... If it wasn't SO far away, I would likely have jumped on it, but it's just too far to drive on a daily basis for the crappy pay. Was excited temporarily.... Anything is better than nothing, but I would be making almost nothing after paying for gas. Just not worth it. Then I got a little depressed that I was turning it down... it's a vicious circle.
I was going to but anything 9/11 just makes me so emotional and I'm a cry baby.
I am pissed off to be back commuting on ahole trains that don't run on time and meetings that don't start on time and people who completely change what they want out of collateral and BS in general.
But we had a totally awesome spontaneous shore trip for MFD's birthday. Wednesday night MIL and my mom visited, then we threw some crap in a bag and took off for the shore around 10:15. We got down there at about 11:40 on Wednesday night, had beers on the porch and last call at La Costa, where a glass lantern from our wedding is still hanging in the outside bar. We hung out until 4 a.m. on the porch. Thursday we got up at 8:30 a.m., walked to breakfast and did some shopping, walked the dogs and spent the rest of the day on the beach. We had drinks and hotdogs at the Carousel for lunch, cavorted around, showered and packed up, had birthday dinner at Mildred's, and drove home. We got home last night at 10:30. I did two loads of laundry and fell out at 12.
I have so much personal crap to do between today at 3 when I get off of work and tomorrow at 12 when we leave for this wedding.
Weekend - MFD's cousin's wedding Saturday, sleepover at his other cousin's. His Uncle's Surprise 60th on Sunday, stay over again. Home to relax and prep for the week on Monday.
