Today, I...
...bought a new washing machine. Her name is Peggy, and she is my new best friend. (My old washing machine, Gertrude, died an ugly death a bit over a week ago, and the clothes situation was becoming a bit desperate.) ETA: In the last several hours, I have decided that her name is Betty, not Peggy (the fact that I chose either of these names is a clear indicator that I've been watching too much Mad Men lately).
...kissed my husband goodbye for the next 20 hours after dropping him off this afternoon at an all day, all night nerdfest. (Hey, at least I know where he is and who he's with, right? 
)
...am having homemade sushi for dinner. (Relax, it's all cooked stuff!)
...bought new yoga pants to accommodate my non-bump uber bloat. (It's so sexy. I can't even suck in my flab partway anymore. It just sits there, mocking me.) I had the choice between two styles - the one I didn't buy was significantly more flattering, but I ended up going with the pair that gives me mad camel toe because I think the wider waistband will be more comfortable later on (and let's be honest: I'm just going to wear them while lounging around at home, and the cats don't care about camel toe).
...am avoiding doing the school assignment that's due in two days (and is currently about 10% done) by moseying around on the Nest.
Anyone else? (If anyone else is even awake lol.)
Re: Today, I...
hahaha. love the comments on the camel toe
...put on contacts and spent more than my usual 45s deciding what to wear. it made myself feel a little bit better, and i had a better day than yesterday, which was really rough at work. so yay.
...got to see some friends for the first time since our wedding - haven't seen them since before they got engaged, and it was really fun to catch up
...am excited about the weekend, we're going to look at some different neighborhoods and think more about whether we want to buy a bigger house (and commit to staying in seattle instead of moving to the bay area!)
...am about to post a TMI question - coming soon
...was awoken at 6:59 am (on a Saturday! oh, the humanity!) by Bea, and right when I was in the middle of a great dream too.
...am chillin' with just me and my in-laws for six looong nights while Tim is in Ravenna, Italy for a conference, eating wonderful food and drinking chianti. (Actually, sounds like he's pretty miserable at the conference--he doesn't know too many people there, is super jetlagged, and is spending all day at talks.)
...don't really have anything to do this weekend, except my MIL and I are going to see 'The Informant' this afternoon.
...am kinda annoyed that I didn't hear anything back about the job after my third interview on Thursday and that they are letting me sweat over the weekend.
Noooo! Why are they messing with us like this??? (Yes, I said "us" - I'm so eager about this on your behalf!)
LOL Lisa, you crack me the f*ck up!
...seduced my DH. He likes morning nookie and I figured that since we didn't get it on for our anniversary, today was a good opportunity!
...ordered thermal backed curtains for our living room since we have a HUGE picture window that all the heat is sucked through in the winter. Here's hoping my purchase saves us some heating money down the line.
...spent most of yesterday online reading about breastfeeding. Work was slow.
...need to start walking everyday so that I am a ready for our 10 day convention in Nashville in two weeks. Plus, it helps with the pregnancy. But it's so much more tempting to lay around on the couch and read magazines or watch TV!

....am weighing in at a local gym where I signed up for a 'Biggest Loser' challenge. I'm hoping it's a swift kick in the arse to get back on track! Don't really care if I win or not, but the $500 prize sure would be nice to take to Rome!
....am getting a pedicure. This is VERY important as 2 of my toenails finally fell off from my Avon Walk and all of the training that went along with it. I wonder if I'll get a discount since they only have to do 8 toes?
....am going to a local air show and hoping that we can get my stepson to talk to some Air Force recruiters while we're there.
....am doin' up the Halloween decor!
.....also seduced MH! I heart morning nookie, and it's been way too long since we've both had a morning off together to be able to!
.....got my brows and lip waxed....ouch! The brows don't hurt me (kinda sick, I actually kinda like it!), but the lip does. I have recently decided that I need to start doing my lip more regularly, as it's been getting longer and darker the past year or so.
.....need to buy a new toaster. Ours crapped out this morning. Go figure, newlyweds who actually NEED a toaster, and didn't get one for the wedding!
.....also am going to go buy 34 rolls of Mentos. Tomorrow is my best friends birthday, and he's been obsessed with Mentos in the 14 years I've known him. We've started a tradition of me getting him as many rolls as his age on his birthday. I need to get them and wrap them before our dinner and showtunes show we're going to tomorrow night at his fav gay bar.
.....did NOT get AF.....hmmmmm. Expected it possibly Wednesday, possible Friday (my last two cycles were 28- and 30-days, respectively, so I wasn't sure when exactly to expect it). Today is day 31, and no sign yet. I'm trying not to be hopeful, but am I? You bet! I think I'll POAS tomorrow morning.
Awww....well, if it makes "us" feel any better, I got the sense that they were 99% sure they wanted to hire me!
LOL at camel toe!!
I hugged my parents good bye last night...(I could have posted this last night instead of today but I was too lazy). I miss my mom already. She was such a huge help around the house.
mine is boring
........I went to work and just got home,... propping my feet up now and trying to relax and help this swelling
