Hellooooooooooooooooo out there!!
I'm still at my mom's. Yesterday was my little sisters college graduation. It wasn't a real commencement ceremony, just a reception, but it was nice! Short and sweet! We got some snow and ice so they have a 2 hour delay here, which puts me on bus stop duty for my niece! My mom has to go to work, my older sister is at work, my little sister has her last day of student teaching today, and my stepdad&nephew are playing hooky to hunt! haah! Good thing I'm here!
My college delayed today...that's weird. What kind of college delays? Really they just cancelled finals for this morning. So anyone who had an 8am final this morning has to make it up on Saturday. I'd be so mad if that was me!
How was everyone's weekend?!

Re: Happy Monday!
Our weekend was busy but good. Awkward Christmas party was awkward - I don't get the point in wearing lingerie out in public. A lot more people participate in costumes than last year. We got some more cleaning of the spare room/ds future big boy room done. We moved out the shelves and are now just going through everything that was on them. I'm not sure moving it all since most of it is likely garbage anyways.
Welcome back degrea!
Good luck with finals this week jlq. Glad you had a good weekend back home.
Echo I know 2 weeks! Eek. Sorry the party was so awkward.

Dh and I don't do gifts really. We might spend $20 max just to fill stockings.
Good Aftrenoon!!! Sorry my morning was taken up by checking email and playing catch up. I had 130 emails in my inbox. Vacation was nice. I didn't get as much reading done as I would have liked but the book I choose first was a slow read as it was technical book not any fluff! It was hot down there, in the 80's! We spent a lot of time on the beach and by the pool. Food was okay but nothing knocked my socks off. The beverages were super yummy! I had a lot of magritias, discovering mango and coconut as new fav's. We went to Tullum (Mayan Ruins) the one day which was alot of fun. They were different than the ruins we saw in Europe. The rock seemed to be craved more if that makes sense. They were also located right on the ocean so very pretty. The wedding was nice and right down on the beach. I unfortnately caught some bug down there and by the end of the wedding wanted to go to bed early, I made it to 12:30am, a lot of the people were out till 4am I guess.
All in all it was a good time and I am glad we went! I personally probably wouldn't choose to go on a vacation like this again as it really isn't our thing. We would much rather be out exploring than laying on the beach. It is good to lay on the beach for a few days don't get me wrong but by Thursday I was over it and ready to go home.
Echo: I will need to go back and read about this party! Sounds crazy though!
JLQ: Christmas is right around the corner! It is nuts! I need to start planning out operation cookie...awwww!
Aggie: Glad to see you got to work safe and sound. A lot flights were cancelled into DC last night, that Philly and Chicago! Luckly we made it home with no problems!
I really want cookies!! The problem with being grain free is there isn't a lot of cookie recipes. I should make some while I enjoy nap time perhaps...but nap time is likely ending soon so maybe tonight/tomorrow.
I just took our infant carseat out of the box and I feel like it's taunting me.
