Why Tuesday, you sneaky little beetch
Morning all.
Slept 4 hours last night.
WTF.
So tired.
Lots of work today and then leaving early for that 90 minute massage! YES PLEASE.
Then home to reheat leftovers and some hulu and then hopefully to bed by 8:30.
Possible snow here on Thursday night. Unacceptable.
Re: Why Tuesday, you sneaky little beetch
Morning! Went to Zumba last night and decided I'm going to do it whether I'm supposed to or not. Had a blast. I just gotta dance!
Came home, made dinner, watched True Blood on DVD and crashed at 9. DH was out working on his FedEx trucks so I didn't get to see him at all.
Shauni-we have rain forecasted for this evening, turning to snow around midnight. They're predicting 6-10". WTF! It was 80 yesterday..tomorrow's commute should be a barrel o' fun
Oh sister, I saw it on the news already. What the mothafuck? It says in the 5 day forecast though that it will be in the fifties and sixties and sunny again in a couple of days! Hoping the snow is gone when I arrive!

Snow? F that.
Tuesdays are assholes. I seriously contemplated staying in bed this morning.
Last night I stopped at Rite Aid for cough syrup and dry shampoo. Both were B1G1, holler. Came home, walked 2 miles on the way to 3 before a coughing fit ended that.
Late yesterday afternoon MFD discovered a fridge leak that went through to the basement ceiling. WTF. We had a friend who works for a restoration company (cleans up water damage) come look at the water damage to our floor and ceiling. We will be filing a very large homeowners claim. We wanted to redo the kitchen floor anyway, but Jesus Christ. This is insane. There's water damage everywhere. So today MFD is trying to get our adjuster and the insurance company adjuster out and get this rolling.
After that I broke out in all over body hives, watched Jersey Shore and 2.5 men, took 2 benadryl and called it a day.
Hives, WTF? What are you allergic to?
And Shauni-I'm sure snow will be gone by your visit. Typical CO
hey all!
Was home yesterday. Our hot water heater went out sometime between 4-8 pm on saturday and our landlord couldn't find a plumber to come fix it until yesterday. No way I was going to work without a hot shower and washing my hair. so finally got to shower yesterday around 1pm.
This weekend we got the baby furniture and put it up in the room. Well, josh put it together in the room. I finished the baby quilt and can now move onto the next baby project.
Other than that, not much new and exciting.
Morning, ladies. Exhausted here, too. H had to go to the Bay Area this morning - he gets up at 5:15, leaves at 5:45. Guess who woke up at 5:10? The dog. Guess who ignored her? H. Yeah, so *I* had to get up to let her out to pee, so I just stole the shower after that and came in early. Grr.
Other than that, not much to report.
Brew - thank you so much for sending that BBB coupon! I told H and he was touched. Stupid $100 trash can anyway!
Mary - yay, baby furniture and quilt! My mom says she's going to make Predator a quilt or two, but she's been away having fun.
Steph - holy crap on the water damage! I guess yay for new flooring? It'll probably be a PITA to deal with, but be great in the end.
Shauni - aw hell no on snow. It's too early! We've been having strange weather, cold one day and then high 80s the next.
I miss how on TK when you replied it kept all the replies in the thread above the text box. Now when I come here to type, I totally forget who all posted and what I wanted to respond to...
Shauni - I'm in camp 4 hours of sleep today, too, but I don't have a fabulous massage to look forward to. Yay for massage. Boo for snow.
Brew - I don't blame you for not quitting zumba. I have some minor knee issues and I just modify when I need to. Keep gettin' ya groove on!
Stef - Hives and a ruined floor blow. But yay for a new kitchen floor! (I guess...?)
Mary - I want to see the quilt! I try to pretend I'm crafty, but I'm not, so I like to see other people's accomplishments. :-)
Mush - Can't believe the H just ignored the dog. Get him back by making him get up with Predator!
For the people who are/might get snow. That is gross it is way to early to snow.
Just got to work from a belly check. I wait a nice 40 minutes for a 4 minute appointment, Everything looked great though.
We went to baies R Us last night got our stroller carseat travel system, a boppy pillow, some bottles. You should have seen us trying to open the stroller and then close the strolller. I think it took us 15 minutes to try and close it. We still have A LOT more to get but if she came tomorrow we are prepared. I want to hit up some baby consignment shops for some of the bigger things that you need but don't use for that long, like the swing.
I'm in a pretty good mood today. Especially considering I only got 4 hours of sleep.
My ear pain has finally gone away. (Thank you eustachian tube clearing baby Jesus!) Down side is I'm pretty sure I have TMJ and that's what was causing it. Whatever. TMJ can't ruin this I-finally-don't-feel-like-my-head-is-going-to-spontaneously-explode good mood. :-)
We're also having a BBQ here at work today where all the senior management cooks for us. And it's an awesome day. Can't wait!
Dear MushE and Xtine,
I can't believe you are getting so close to baby time! Didn't you just tell us all you were PG and not to post it on FB b/c no one else knew?? As I don't recall seeing baby bump pics for at least the past two months now, I think it is time to share again!!
YES. Drives me nuts. I wind up saying, "Umm and whoever was having dog issues, uh, good luck."
This weekend we went apple-picking so we have a ton of apples at home, and I ate FIVE apples yesterday. I am a little concerned that this sort of excess is bad for my health, but I packed more in my lunch today anyway. I also made some yummy cinnamon-sugar pumpkin seeds and brought them in to work. Yesterday I ate so many pumpkin seeds before lunch that I wasn't hungry, so literally all I ate at work was pumpkin seeds and apples. At least I'm embracing the season?
I got a bunch of cute workout clothes from ON so I'm determined to get home in time to get in a workout tonight
I'm going to start a recent purchases thread in a sec...
Five apples = lots of poops.
I am hoping the adjuster gets us big money and we can manage to do half of the kitchen remodel we were planning anyway - knock wall down, redo floor, paint, refinish wood floors in living and dining. Epic mess, and I need it done by Christmas.
I would like to see before and after photos. Please and thankyouverymuch!
AGREED!

Lol. I currently have a baby bump. It's called bloat. Thank Dumbledore my wardrobe consists of 50% dresses.
Nothing new. Still exahusted. Working hard. Want a nap. Story of my life.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
Hola Tuesday. Went to the gym last night since I was sooo bad on Sunday. Came home ate dinner, then off to the Spirit Halloween store so Rich could get his Gumby costume. He looks so funny in it. It will look better once it is zombiefied.
Tonight we have to finish up some Halloween touches and buy our candy. Then off to the gym so I can lose some weight before Saturday. Also need to clean house. it will be a busy night.
I agree!
This has saved me from buying alot of maternity stuff. I mostly wear my regular clothes since i wear dresses and skirts.
I have been super bad about even taking bump pictues. I will post one later
Tuesday schmoozeday! Thanks to Occupy Oakland, my train station was shutdown this morning and I was not about to take chances so I decided to flipabitch at the stoplight and come back home to work. Some of the past protests resulted in looting and all out craziness & according to the news some of the streets are blocked and OPD is in riot gear. Nice.
need to figure out upcoming dinner menu since tomorrow is payday and we'll need some food at some point.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
I know, it feels like yesterday to me! I've been super bad about taking pics, because I like to do it Tuesdays (my week changeover day) and H has been going to the Bay Area every Tuesday. No way is my asss getting ready by 5:45 am! I'll do one tomorrow, though.
hey all. I've been super bad catching up on posts here... Work work and more work now that my cold/bronchitis crap seems to be mostly gone.
I also got a convo message on etsy and should be making my first SALE through there by this weekend! WHOO HOO! So excited about that.
H has been super awesome lately and came home yesterday to mow the lawn (hopefully for the last time) and work on our toilet. It stopped filling with water the other day so he bought a rebuild kit. Turns out there is some issue with the pipe that fills it, hardly any water coming through. *sigh* Supposed to work on it again tonight. Luckily we have another toilet. sheesh.
YUCK on the snow! Do.not.want.
early mornings have been the death of me lately. Ugh.
Can't beleive you ladies are so darn CLOSE to having babies. AAH! So excited for you!
I've litterally got nothing else too add today. Sorry.
I am just going to jump in if that's okay...
I bought a Jillian Michaels DVD yesterday so I started that today. It was a bit of a challenge since my muscles are all shot from nearly 11 months of very little activity, but it felt great to be back into it!
I can relate to H not letting the dog out and me being woken up by him whining...unfortunately I have a baby in the picture too so I really could have used that little extra sleep!
I can also relate to not taking bump pics....I always rejected the ones H took because I felt they weren't flattering....I don't think any pregnancy pics of me were flattering...I am sure every woman is very critical and it is difficult to be putting on 35lbs in a short time! I also suck at taking photos of Hailey too, luckily she has three aunts and two grandmas who just can't get enough photos!
I am sad to hear some of you are forecasted for snow. I am just waiting for that day to come for us. Luckily today wasn't it and I was able to take the baby for a walk just so I could get out of the house for a while.
Hi Megan - of course, jump right in!
We were good for a while about taking weekly photos, but then I'd forget to take them off the memory card. Doh!
I look at my post and realize it is all about baby! Ahh. I am sorry, I promise I won't be that person on here. There really is more to my life than just a baby, but I must be honest, sometimes it does get a little lost. I don't mean that to be negative, just that baby is a big adjustment
