Happy Thursday

Yay for hydroplaning--what is with that one section of 295 going towards Philly??  Thank God my car decided to stay in its lane!

I so do not want to come to work tomorrow.  I have the comp time to take, but I'm trying to save it for July. 

Anyone doing anything this weekend?  We're having a yard sale in North Wildwood if anyone is in the area.  Lots of clothes, a huge freezer, books, DVDs...drive down New York Ave and you'll see us!

Re: Happy Thursday

  • Good morning! I haven't ventured out yet but I'm completely over all this rain. I need the sun immediately.

    I'm going to Skeletor Karaoke on Saturday for a work friend's 30th birthday. Apparently this guy dresses up as Skeletor from the 80's cartoon He-Man and he gongs you off the stage if he doesn't like you. It should be interesting.

    Sunday I was suppose to go to the shore for Father's Day but it's suppose to rain so I don't know if we're still going to go.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Good morning!  Add me to the list of people who are so over the rain.  My bed is looking very appealing right now.

     Skeletor karaoke sounds very interesting.  Let us know how it is.

  • I am also very sick of this weather!! So annoying.

    My MIL wants to come visit Saturday - on my due date, and also the weekend before my bday. It's probably the last weekend we have alone if the baby doesnt come. Not to mention, she's coming when we're in the hospital. I swear she does these things on purpose.

  • Bleh bleh bleh. Stupid weather. Stupid traffic. I'm over it.

    Last night, we went bowling for my H's cousin's bday. I can't remember the last time I went bowling! But it was super fun (I love being able to drink beer and bowl) and I beat everyone except H's grandpop and uncle. Ha!

    Weekend plans are rather light - yay! Tom. is bathroom reno day. I'll probably spend a lot of the day at my parent's, putting together my sister's shower invitations. And Sunday we're having dinner at my parent's... no real plans other than that. I am going to get Grey's Anatomy discs from Netflix and try to catch up!

  • If it's going to insist on raining everyday I would like a freaking huge thunderstorm that lasts more then ten seconds.  If it's going to be crappy out the weather might as well give us 110%.
  • We had a guy come out and give us an estimate on a sprinkler system. It's rained ever since. Figures.

    This weekend is jam packed for us. Friday we'll drive down to MD, Saturday we have an early dinner with FIL for his birthday then a birthday dinner in Baltimore for H's bf's FI. Sunday we're going to the Phils game. We'll be that couple in dueling team gear.

  • Morning!

      This weather has GOT TO GO!  I am so tired of rain.  I have lots of fun family activities planned this weekend bc my H and I are going up to our hometown.   Friday night we are doing dinner with my parents then staying at their house.  Saturday, we have the oh-so-fun matching outfit family portrait with the IL's then we will probably hang out with them or my parents.  Sunday, probably brunch with my parents then a family party at the IL's.  

    I am going to ba all family-ed out after this weekend!

    Toni--cant you just tell MIL it is your last weekend (ekk!!! so exciting) before you becoming parents and you want to spend it just the two of you?  That sounds reasonable to me.

    That stinks, Toni. Have H tell her no. You guys need some time alone before the baby comes

  • This weather is horrible! I really can't wait until this week is over! Yesterday my boss resigned and things in the office have been really tense! We now have no managers in our department because everyone who was a manager either got severence from the merger or left.. it is sad and I feel like our department will never be the same again. meh!
  • morning ladies!!

     i am equally over the rain as well, completely ridiculous! DC has been just as bad as philly and rain is just so overrated at this point. although i will say that everything is soo pretty and green. :)

    i am sooo excited for this weekend! it is my roomie's birthday weekend, yay!

    so tomorrow night we are getting all glammed up and hitting a couple places down here, park, lotus and tattoo bar, etc.

    saturday we are going to the national gallery of art and then we have reservations for dinner at Vegetate which is this awesome vegetarian restaurant that was just voted best in DC. and then we have reservations to bowl at Lucky Strike.

    sunday we are doing a birthday brunch and relaxing. cannot waittt!

  • Jaci reading all that alone makes me tired.  Good for you!  It sounds like a lot more fun then hangin out at my MIL's on Saturday and my FIL's on Sunday. WOO!
  • Rain, rain, go away...come back another day.  I would like to turn the lights off in my office and take an 8 hour nap.   Seriously, my eyelids are sailing at half mast today....

  • I wish I could just tell her no - I've tried to make it clear to H that I dont think it's a good idea, but then she makes him feel guilty if he tells her no. It's a lose-lose situation. If by chance, I went into labor Saturday I would be so mad that she was here b/c I'll have to deal with her while I'm waiting for my contractions to progress and all. It would get ugly.
  • Toni just tell her that she is more then welcome to come over, however you will be naked the whole time and fully plan on having sex where ever to try and bring labor on.

    toni.... you have to put your foot down on this one.  you NEED relaxation to prepare for labor.  no stress.  just tell her that she can spend plenty of time with the baby in the future but for now you need alone time.  

    this is not about husband...i would just tell husband to tell his mom that i am biatchy for a reason, and to not take it personal.   you are supposed to be selfish right now.  your big moment is coming up and you should not be dealing with this shiiite

    I agree.  Although from the whole blog incident, it sounds like she does take things personally.  

  • The only good part about today is that the boss is hosting a luncheon for us. It's pretty generous of her and I'm looking forward to piggin out.
  • Izzy, is it a stand up or a chest freezer?  We are actually looking for one for the shop and may be interested.

    Being a mother herself, she has to understand that.  And if she doesn't, that's just lousy.

  • I'll check and let you know :)
  • Good luck with all that, Toni.  Is there any way for you to call her and try to appeal to her you were pregnant once side? I know it's been a while, but still.

  • Good Morning!!!  We went to the Phillies game last night and got rained on but for some reason it always happens so we sucked it up and sat in the rain:)  I did have to politely ask the idiot in front of me to put down her umbrella though...I don't understand why someone would thinks it's a good idea to stick their umbrella over their head when people are sitting behind them and for god's sake it's water your not gonna melt!!

    I officailly only have 2 days of school left and it's dragging b/c we have nothing left to do...and the worst part is we have to come in Monday to get our pay checks and a bridal shower..ugghh!!

    Friday we are going to happy hour with a couple friends at Guimerello's in Collingswood which I'm very excited about b/c I heard it's great!

    Hope everyones enjoying this lovely weather!!!  Hopefully it will actually feel like it's June next week!!

  • NYGirl - Guimarellos is great! Are you eating there or just going for happy hour? either way, they have great drinks and if it happens to clear up and not be crappy they have an outside patio.

    I feel like such a bi*ch just telling H to tell her no. He said he would, but I know he'd feel bad and I know she'll make him feel guilty. I think he kind of tried to change her mind by telling her that I'm pretty irritable lately and all, but I guess she doesn't care. She's so "sensitive" about everything - so I know she'd take it personally and blame it on me if he told her it wasn't a good idea. 

  • I would still say no.  LOL
  • I would tell her NO too....I wouldn't even care if he blamed on me :)  If you don't put your foot down now it will get worse once the baby is here....I have a soon to be mother in law who is the same!!
