I really don't know what makes it so exciting, That's is pseudo excitement there.
Today is CE day, so my colleagues and I will drive into DC to listen to a lecture and eat crappy food for lunch. Its good CE so I shouldn't complain, but gosh I don't sit still well.
Wassup with you? anything super exciting? anything super boring? anything?
Re: Its THURSDAY!
Yesterday felt like Friday so the fact that there is still today and tomorrow before the weekend is a bit sad.
I only have my one daycare girl today and tomorrow and my new one starts Monday so I'm trying to enjoy the quieter days before the insanity. I'm going to bake pumpkin bread today! Super excited for that! Dh wants me to make cinnamon rolls but we don't have everything we need and if I go to the store I have to walk uphill both ways! Not something this lady wants to do with two toddlers in a stroller and a baby growing inside. At least not today.
Also where is my fall weather!! I hate wearing shorts and having to shave my legs in October on a good day never mind pregnant! Grrr Mother Nature.

I'm not sure how it happened but for some reason I have nothing to do today. Our work studies finally started which took a lot off my plate. It's nice to finally get a breather considering how super, crazy busy we've been the past two months. I'm actually starting to be paranoid because I feel like I should be doing something but can't remember what that something is.
Not much is new with me. Travel season has started at work so that's always interesting. Although I was sick as a dog this past weekend and there is nothing worse on Earth than flying while sick. How is everyone?
Echo - you're getting a new little one to watch? Good luck! And enjoy your pumpkin bread!
Aggie - Enjoy your CE even though you're not looking forward to it. What's the topic today?
my read shelf:
My topic is behavior. Which is incredibly frustrating in clinic and typically a yawn to listen to. But they have Dr Pepper available for the first time ever so it's not all bad :-D.
What's up? What's new? Tell me a story.
Aggie - haha I'm happy they have Dr. Pepper for you. Do you think they have it since it's an event for doctors? (lame joke, I know.)
HI JOY!!!!!!!!!! Hmm what's new? DH just got a new job so that's super exciting! It's for the same company but in a new department. It comes with a major pay increase so we're pumped about that. He informed me yesterday that we can now redo the master bath much earlier than anticipated. (It's seriously bad. Neither one of us has ever even turned on the shower and we've only used the toilet, literally, twice) It needs to be done before a baby comes so the extra money will definitely come in handy.
DH and I are officially TTC (did you all know that? I can't remember) rather than just not preventing/we'll see what happens. I think I'm finally on board for a baby because I took a pregnancy test last month and it was negative and I was disappointed. I'm sure once it comes back positive (::knocks on wood::), I'll be a big ball of anxiety but for now I'm good with our TTC decision. We'll see!
Other than that, I'm off to Ohio next week for work. I'm sure I'll be incredibly bored the entire time but I'll get some good reading in
What's new with you? Do I dare ask how the construction is going?
my read shelf:
Congrats to Mr. EEE on the new job!
I'm also sincerely jealous of you redoing your master bathroom. We only have one bathroom in our house (city houses are small, yo), and we really want to re do it. I want a large tiled shower along one wall with two shower heads and more storage. We'll get there in a few years!
Hi Ladies! I was out sick yesterday, Glad to see Joy and E are back. We missed you around these parts. Not too much going on here. The landscapers started last week, they hit the spectic pipe the first day but H and one of them fixed it that night. So far they are doing better, haven't broke anything else. Can't wait till it is finished. I want to put some mums on my new front walkway.
Joy/E/Aggie: Excited for you all! That is such a big step!
Joy: How goes the wall? Hopefully good! Crossing fingers and toes!
JLQ: I am not TTC if it make you feel better. Also wohoo on those test!
Echo: Yummy pumpkin bread!
Hallway is sanded and painted.
Bedroom still needs mud and sand. Then I'll paint. It'll probably be about a month.
I need to stain the door to this new room this weekend.
Then... ya know... baseboards.
Joy: Sounds like progress! Can't wait to see the final product.
I'm also jealous of your h's pay increase meaning you can do renos...my second daycare child means we can buy a van....but eventually it'll mean we can do renos we want.
Pumpkin bread smells awesome!! It's my first pumpkin baking of the year! I have a recipe for pumpkin cinnamon rolls but need to buy a few things.
hi Degrea! Oooh landscaping! I would love to hire a landscaper, I'm very jealous
Joy - sorry about the wall. At least it sounds like things are progressing, even if it's much slower than you would like. You'll get through it!!
I'm not a big pumpkin person. I feel like I always miss out this time of year because everyone is obsessing about pumpkins and I just can't get on the bandwagon. Oh well, more for the rest of you right?
