Free For All Friday

Re: Free For All Friday

  • Eeeek, I love the idea of finding out with everyone... but I just don't know if I will be able to hold out!

    Leslie, all the ju-ju I have, headed your way!

  • imagestephiehall:

    This is a 3-day weekend for me!

    Me, too.  I have Monday off and I can't wait.  :)

  • imagebigbabyface:

    Not that I'm a dream expert or anything, but generally when you dream about work that much, it's because there's some aspect of it that's really bugging you.  Stopping yourself from thinking about it right before bed probably won't help, because your subconscious mind is still going over the issues that are bothering you, even if your conscious mind has moved on to the ocean.  Try substituting something else that you mind has to work over - read a gripping book before bed, work on a puzzle, something like that.  Thinking of the ocean is a passive thing for your mind - I think if you substitute something active, it might help take your dreams off of work.

    yeah i agree with angie. or try watching criminal minds right before bed....lol

    Not a good idea for me!  I had to stop watching it because it freaks me out and then I can't sleep, which has been happening the last couple of nights.  We used to do crossword puzzles before bed, I don't know why we stopped.  Usually I don't even think about work or issues going on between work and bed but the peace and quiet stirs stuff up for me for some reason so I try to think of something peaceful

  • Also, I would like to know about everyone's Halloween plans, because it is Friday and my mind doesn't want to focus on work too much today.

    1.  Are you & DH dressing up?  If so, as what?  Do you do couple costumes, or are those too cheesy for you?

    2.  What are you doing - just giving out candy? Party? Bar?  All three?  Something else?

  • Lesile - good ju ju and thoughts for you!

    Stephanie - I'm driving.  I live off of 35 but with the OU/TX traffic I'm going to take another route so I'll probably leave early to give myself some extra time for the Friday traffic (which I know will be there any route I take).  

    I have Monday off too and I'm hoping I get the chance to see my former pregnant bridesmaid's new baby!

    That's why there is only 1 day in between.  I can't hold out for long.  I even told the lady at the bakery they had to keep the envelope until I pick up the cake tomorrow because I will be so tempted to look.  They laughed and said they could do that.

    not sure what we're doing just yet. we're supposed to be moving these next few weeks, and then we have birthday parties and such. we have a ton of halloween invites. but i guess we'll see. If we do dress up it wont be couples, i have a costume or two hiding in the closet. but DH doesnt have anything....so we'll wait....until the day before halloween to decide if he wants a costume...and if so...which one. *sigh*

  • Wow there's a lot going on. I got out of a meeting and training someone so I just caught up!

    Have fun at the wedding all.. make sure you post pictures for us.

    Leslie - My heart leapt a little and I've been praying for you! Hope this is it.

    RE: Book club: What am I suppose to bring? I can try to make something tonight or tomorrow morning or am I bring the drinks? plates? Just tell me and I'll do it.

    I'm bringing plates, cups, napkins, and drinks. :)    You can have drinks if you want...just let me know.

  • Haha - Dana - nice to see my DH's idea!  I thought that he was so original with it... lol.  I've seen lots of gender reveal parties, but normally its the couple revealing through a cake - but they already know the sex.  Well... cute idea!  :)

    Leslie - sending you every.single.ounce of ju-ju and good vibes that I can possibly hold in my body!

  • imageshortgirltx:

    You now have me curious, Brianna but I can't go look it up while at work.

    DH has been having car trouble and it would not start this morning so we might be down to one car this weekend, which means I will likely end up missing book club since what each of us want to do are on the opposite sides of the planet.

    Hey Michael, oh I mean Michelle, when I was at Starbucks this morning, I swear they said "Jaymi" and when I just now looked at my cup it said "Jane".  I don't have a clue what I ordered so I hope there wasn't an actual Jane there.  If so, ooops.

    At least it wasn't Jewly.

  • BL,

    Our alarm didn't go off this morning and I didn't realize it until 5:53 when we are usually up at 5 AM.  I will have to go home and wash my hair but I can't leave until 3 so you'll be way ahead of me.  Also, I will probably have my camera with me so don't worry about it unless you want to.

    Chelsea,

    I can't wait to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes I can bring drinks so I don't feel like a bum coming without anything. Thank you!

    Sounds good as long as you promise to bring the Simply Lemonade Raspberry. I look forward to drinking it at book club all month because it would go too fast if I kept it in the house! :)

  • DH liked the condo! :)

    We're going to start slowly moving forward on it. I can't go at this whole heartedly though until i hear from the HOA that we can bring our rescued Husky.

     But yay! finally found something DH likes!

  • Yay Ashlee!

    Thanks girls for the good vibes. I disregarded my own advice to Brianna this morning and have done some Googling. Things are 50/50 on it turning out well, which I guess it better than nothing, right?

    Brianna - Regarding removing their own IUDs - yes! If you google how to remove IUD yourself you will find detailed tutorials and many, many women who did this. I can't even imagine and I think it is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

    Did you dr advise you to wait a cycle or just jump right in?

  • I have no idea what I am bringing to book club and feel like a poor planner since I wont have time to make anything tonight I will have to wing it tomorrow.  Super slacker especially considering I didnt read the book past 27%.

     Leslie, lots of good vibes your way.

    Aw, that is where I really started enjoying the book, and couldn't put it down after about there! 

  • Leslie - all the good mojo I can muster for you!

    Hope you all have fun at Angela's wedding tonight, and book club tomorrow. I am going to have to join you one of these months!

    Have any of you gotten a flu shot?  I got my first one today, so I'm hoping I don't get sick from it.  I have WAY to busy of a weekend. 

    And a little confession - I got the flu shot b/c DH and I are planning on trying to have a baby too!  We went to OB last week and did a consult with her and some bloodwork.  I had vaccines updated today, and we are going to start next month!  Yay!  Seems like that is a common theme around here lately. :)

    Its still on my kindle so there is a good chance that I could still get into it and finish it.

    Pretty soon this will be a Getting Pregnant board 2.0. Maybe I'll be able to kick my GP habit then. Haha!

    I kid Tiffany, Lacey, Bobbileigh and Stephie and other hold outs. We won't talk about TMI stuff...too much... :)

    She didn't say - she said "things will get back to normal either immediately or within a month, depending on where you are in the cycle.  I had one patient who was pregnant within two weeks of having the IUD out!"

    To me - that doesn't scream "wait a little bit before trying" - but I have no idea and Google scares me lol.

    Leslie, it definitely seems like it's on a lot of our minds lately, even those of us not trying yet, and of course whatever is on our minds, tends to come out on the board :)
