10 Things Tuesday
1. I am not ready for Christmas, but DD and I have been jamming out to Christmas music every time we are in the car.
2. I might make my DH put up Christmas lights this year. I feel like now that DD is a little older we really need to do Christmas, lights, trees, decorations the whole deal!
3. Getting home at 6pm and it being so dark out makes me sad... I don't remember it being that dark that fast..
4. I need to start weight watchers again, I did so well on it this summer, but stopped doing it and I haven't lost any weight since.
5. Is it possible for a 17 month old to be going through the terrible two's already?!?!
6. All DD says is No and shakes her head at you..
7. I started reading a new Nora Roberts book and my DVR is full because of it..
8. My boss is leaving for a business trip today and I can't wait:)
9. My IL's asked for our Christmas list and I realize mine has a lot of big ticket items..
10. I feel selfish saying this but I hope they get me at least 2 of the things on my list!
Re: 10 Things Tuesday
1. I finally got my new boots! Now I need to go out somewhere so I can wear them.
2. My new yoga shorts should arrive before class on Thursday!
3. I'm already running out of things.
4. Daylight savings time is messing me up. I'm more tired than usual even though this is the good one, and I'm SO hungry!
5. I'm excited to start Christmas shopping!
6. I'm not excited about spending my extra $$ on Christmas.
7. MIL and step FIL are coming over this weekend...
8. They are bringing their kitten
9. I hope my cats a.) don't eat it b.) don't start peeing everywhere cuz they're p!ssed!
10. I'm so ready for lunch! PB & J!
1. I sold my first furniture on craigslist yesterday
2. I actually got up in time to do a quick pilates video today. Only 10 minutes, but better than nothing!
3. I get to see my honey 2 weeks from tomorrow
4. I'm bored at work today, but I feel bad about that because other people are busy. I just don't know their stuff, so it's hard to help them
5. This crappy Houston weather messed up the plans I had for tonight for a fun outdoor thing (it was postponed until March)
6. I want more of my craigslist furniture to sell...it's like a I got a high off the first sale and I'm ready for my next fix. LOL
7. They just brought in the leftover food from client breakfast to us...pancakes, biscuits, pork chops (strange, I know), hashbrowns, fruit. Looks like I'm having breakfast for lunch!
8. I have to go take pictures so I can contest a parking ticket that I got this weekend ($70!!!!)
9. They have the heater on in my office today. It's been on since it was cold last week. Today it's going up to 85. Heater needed?? I think not.
10. I think I'm going to go home after work and curl up with my dog and watch a movie. She needs some snuggle time.
1. I want new boots just like everyone else.
2. I called and talked to my mom last week and we finally buried the hatchet.
3. Basically, my mom was feeling needy, which is done, but after repeating my point over and over again, she realized that the dress shopping thing was personal and I did still love her. Problem solved.
4. FI leaves for two days for work again this week. I'm not happy about it.
5. I hate all the traveling FI has been doing lately, but it is reflecting very favorably in his paychecks, so I am at least happy about that.
6. I think FI and I are going to ask for some honeymoon tours for Christmas.
7. We really need help with the wedding and honeymoon more than new sweaters.
8. I am hopeful that our family gets the hint and complies.
9. I still wish the butternut squash Lean Cuisine had more pasta and less veggies.
10. I need a
.
1. I just ate breakfast at 11:30.
2. I'm already hungry again though, so I'm thinking I could keep eating at this point and call it lunch.
3. I'm currently watching Season One of the Vampire Diaries on Netflix while Lily sleeps and Emma does a puzzle.
4. I bought Emma a snowsuit yesterday and I'm pretty excited about it.
5. Now I just need to find some boots for her when they start coming out.
6. I should probably think about some appropriate snow gear for either DH or myself since we're not exactly going to let her go playing in the snow all by herself.
7. Next week my Mom and I are going to make our Fall sugar cookies in the shape of leaves for Thanksgiving.
8. Lily's Baptism was this past Sunday and everything went really well.
9. I can't believe Lily is almost 6 weeks old already.
10. Emma is wearing her new Ariel pajamas (or "jibbies" as she calls them) and she looks adorable in them.
1. I don't like Christmas music at all but it being on the radio this early is ridiculous.
2. I have two 11 year old neices and have no idea what to get them for CHristmas. H keeps telling me that I was that age once and should know. But I think 11 yo girls are different now then when I was one.
3. I actually dread the holidays. I work in retail (at a grocery store) and this time of year brings out the worst in people.
4. I am secretly hurt by my mother. Last year for Thanksgiving my brother went out of state to spend the holiday with his gf. My mom cancelled dinner (hello, you have two other children). This year my brother is going to be in town so my mom is having dinner.
5. Since I have lost weight I have developed an almost uncontrollable shopping addiction.
6. I have a friend who just got married after meeting her H 6 months ago. I can't help but to think she is going to be the unfamous equal to Kim K.
7. H's best friend thinks that we need to be friends too. He tries way to hard. I would never tell H that he can't hang out with him, but I find him extremely annoying and I don't see why I need to hang out with them/be included.
8. Said friend's birthday is Friday. I agreed to go out with a group of their friends/girlfriends. Now I am kicking myself and seriously dreading it.
9. I saw my boss cry yesterday (well he just got a little misty) it made me seriously uncomfortable but also broke my heart a little (well, a lot).
10. This was my first every 10 things Tuesday participation!
1. I'm home sick today
2. As much as I wanted to sleep in and recover, I spent most of my morning answering work emails.
3. Despite everything, I am starting to feel a little bit better... So I guess that's good.
4. I'm supposed to go out to dinner with a friend tonight.
5. We decided on sushi, but I don't know that that sounds great right now.
6. Despite not wanting to go anywhere today, I want to cook less, so I'll probably go to dinner.
7. I'm sitting here watching episodes of supernanny.
8. I don't know why, but I can't stop watching it
9. There really isn't much on in the way of daytime tv...
10. I'll probably go take a nap soon.

1. I am really tired today, I'm going to blame the time change!
2. I can not wait for the construction on my way to work to be done later this month.
3. But, then, I'll be dealing with the dreaded winter weather!
4. DD's birthday party is next week and I have sooooo much to do before then.
5. We're getting a new roof on Thursday, I really hope it doesn't get pushed to Friday because I have that day off and want to be able to sleep in a bit!
6. I was buying a 24 oz bottle of sprite, until I realized it had 64 grams of sugar in it....yikes that's a lot!
7. I'm getting tired of drinking water, but I know it's good for me.
8. I don't know if I've ever had a salad from Mcdonald's before, I had one the other day and it was delicious!
9. I can not stop yawning.
10. I really need to go grocery shopping.
1. My grandma's 90th birthday is in a couple weeks and we're having a dinner for her. I'm excited to see a bunch of family that I haven't seen in a while!
2. #1 means that both of my grandmothers have made it past 90 years old. I'm liking the way things are looking for my own longevity, lol.
)
3. DH and I got some photo booth pics with Bill Bellamy this past weekend -- woot! He was super nice in person.
4. I'm having dinner at the Melting Pot for the first time on Thursday, and I'm excited! A few friends and I are doing their "girls night out" thing.
5. Mint Moose Tracks is one of the greatest ice cream flavors of all time. If you have not tried it, you must. Like, today. The only place we've seen it is at Meijer, and it's Meijer brand ice cream. Seriously. Amazing.
6. I replaced the ceiling light in our "hallway" last weekend. My only reason for doing it was because I was sick of tripping over the box on the floor. Oh well, whatever works, eh?
7. For some reason shawarma just popped into my head, and now I am craving it for dinner.
8. Yesterday I found the perfect yellow desk lamps for the basement, but it would have been almost $200 for 3 of them, arg! It took a lot of willpower not to buy them anyway. I'm really hoping they go on clearance eventually.
9. I need a haircut badly. The split ends are out of control!
10. Ten things is usually easy for me, but today it was hard! I guess that means I'm pretty boring lately.
Kroger also carries it in their Private Selection brand. I haven't tried it so I have no idea if it is any good. But you know, you might want to do a taste test comparision of brands or something.
I have done this before with some friends and it was so good and a perfect amount of food. Plus i's' fun to spend that much time with gf's just drinking and talking! Have Fun..
That's good to know, I have been craving McDonald's lately maybe next time I will skip the fries and cheeseburger and try a salad.. Which one did you get?
Hope you feel better soon!!!
The Southwest one (pretty sure that's what it was called). I've been eating waaaaay too much fast food lately, so figured I would try something new.
When I am craving McDonalds no salad is going to do it for me. Cheeseburger and fries it must be...
1. I am hopefully done with travelling for work for awhile.
2. Work owes me quite a bit of money because I did not take out enough when I asked for my advance. That will come in handy for all the Christmas presents I have to buy!
3. I am dreading starting to shop for the holidays.
4. Plus I'm irritated with DH's entire extended family. No one can agree on a date for "family" Christmas and it was an hour long discussion on Sunday. They want us to drive to Kzoo three weekends in a row all for separate family events (niece's 1st birthday, family Christmas, then actual Christmas.)
5. Sorry but I've got sh*t I need to do in December and I'm not wasting three weekends travelling back and forth. I think DH and I might have to skip family Christmas.
6. #5 should make me feel bad but it doesn't. Now I feel like a grinch.
7. I'm really enjoying a new series that I am reading and I'm excited to go home and finish the book I'm on even though I have over 100 pages left.
I'm a nerd.
8. Bella was sitting in on of the windows last night which is very low to the ground. I heard her hiss and start attacking the window. I am very curious what animal she saw and now I'm irrationally afraid it is going to break through the window.
9. DH just sent me a text message asking where the lightbulbs were.
They are in the exact same spot they have been since we moved in...
10. He texts me that question but he scolded me for going over my text message allowance last month because "we text each other too much."
I'm a bit confused...
Thanks!

Yes! Feel better soon!
I should call in sick...
