TGIF
H just sent me a picture and said "I'm feeling lucky". The picture was of a $300 winning lotto ticket.
Re: TGIF
Whoa, he won $300? Nice!
Awesome!!!!
Amelia is a light sleep and sleeps talk/walks a lot. She woke up at 4 am this mornng and I went into her mom and she said "Mom! My candy bar is missing!" So I said "Ok, let's get back into bed" and I tucked her in. Lucikly she was fine with that. Sometimes she is a little more fiesty.
Earlier this week, the girls were playing with their money and Amelia had all her coins lined up in her bed. I put them in the big bank before she went to bed. She woke up at 4 am all concerned about her money. She couldn't find it and I had to put her money in bed with her. I told her that it was in her bank and it was in a safe spot on her dresser. She told me I had to move it to the other dresser because that was a safe spot.
I having a feeling we may be keeping the baby gate at the top of the stairs until this kid is 18. I'm afraid she is going to start wandering around the house.
I have ribs in the crockpot. I hope they turn out good.
My mom gave me a crockpot with a timer on it for Christmas. I want to start making more crockpot meals. I need to start searching for recipes.
NICE! I bought a bunch of scratch offs for stockings this year and...NADA lol.
I am taking Ben to the Children's Museum in a few minutes. Our membership expires in a week and we aren't going to renew so I want to squeeze in 1 more trip.
Very nice!
Good morning and TGIF! I get to see my husband tonight, so I'm happy about that. Classes started this week- boo. Gonna be a long 15 weeks I tell you! My "Aunt"(really a cousin)/godmother's 80th birthday dinner is tomorrow. That should be nice.
If only I could stop hacking. I self diagnosed myself with a sinus infection. It's pretty much gone except for the cough and yuckiness that you have to get out. It sounds way worse than I feel, but everyone keeps wanting to rush me to emergency or something.
Any weekend plans?
Get him to a casino!
Oh, I bet the ribs are going to be really good. Cooked low and slow...yum.
I think i need a larger crockpot. It is really hard to fit full size meals in mine. I only really use it for certain soups or dips, but I would like to use it more.
Hopefully she grows out of it soon!
I was a major sleep walker when I was a kid. My parents got used to seeing me wandering around the house and they'd just direct me back to bed. I mostly grew out of it by the time I was out of elementary school. I did some weird things at night, though.
I still sleep walk sometimes when I'm stressed out, though. Which is how I found myself in the middle of the living room at 1 a.m. last night.
I really hate sleep walking. I'm paranoid about what I'll do.
LOL. We're going on Monday night and spending the night, for his birthday. :::fingers crossed::: Ha!
Oh wow!
That is crazy.
I've never sleep walked before, it's very foreign to me.
We don't have any big plans. H has to work Saturday morning, and then again Sunday night (till 4 am Monday morning, yuck.)
I think we're going out for dinner tonight.
$300! Nice!
Sleep walking? Scary! My brother used to sleep walk and peed in the fridge once
. Eww. And crockpot ribs sound really good!
Sorry about the sinus infection :-( I hope you feel better soon!
Yay for the museum. I haven't been in ages.
I think it may be hereditary? At least, it's relatively common in my family. My brother used to do it, although not as much as I did. My dad did it when he was a kid. And on the other side of the family, my grandma tells stories about how my uncle use to sleep walk out of the house and wander the neighborhood in his underwear.
Have fun!
Yummmmmmmmmm.
Hehe!
Thanks all. It's almost out of here. Just annoying.
I sleep walked once that I know of. When I was about 7 or 8, I woke my mom up b/c I couldn't sleep. I know I was sleep walking b/c we always woke dad up if something was wrong. She just told me to take my butt back to bed. lol
Now sleep talk? I used to wake up talking on the phone in college. Weird. Haven't done it since (that I know of).
It's a good day. I've been getting some ad sales on my websites. Also I'm headed to The Homestead Resort with DH after work to spend the weekend for a media event.
I've been drinking herbal tea blends for a couple of days now and I have SO much energy. I think it's the peppermint :-D
anyone good with graphics? I need a logo for my LLC but don't want to spend a lot.
If you're not in a hurry, you could contact the relevant departments at GVSU or Kendall and ask if they have any students or classes who would be interested in this project.
I felt like I got hit by a mack trust last night - this stupid cold!!!
Trying to hang out with some friends this weekend and take down the tree and ornaments.
Yay for lotter wins. I never win I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I also don't play. hmmm
We don't have sleep walkers here. Talkers yes but no walkers.
Going to the Children's museum was fun when we took SS a long time ago.
I have a total of 4 crockpots and 3 of those I use regularly. Still don't have an oven so the last year has been a mixture of crock pot, toaster over, stove top and grilling.
Made it to the gym again.
Wahoo!
Thanks, Any luck on the laptop?
My uncle has been doing great lately. He's in very minimal pain and his energy and appetite is back! They are going to Florida in 2 weeks to clean up/pack up my grandpa's house and put it on the market. (
)
Also while they are there, they are going to start house hunting. So just when I thought we had no reason to visit Florida, they decide to move there.
Also, the healthy uncle told me his company is up for sale and they have an interested buyer, so that is keeping him busy.
That got me to thinking about how do you put a valuation on a company? Anybody know? He owns a management consulting company. I'm so curious as to how one would sell that.
Yeah... you speak to a business valuation specialist (they exist!).
We got a Ninja blender set for Christmas and it is rocking my world. Smoothies galore!
I froze a bunch of fresh fruit last summer to make into smoothies. But our old blender couldn't handle the frozen fruit. The Ninja, on the other hand, is fabulous with the frozen fruit!
Oh, huh. Haha. Nice!
