Re: Wake up people, wake up!

  • I have finals coming up next week!  Last weekend I did some shopping at Sephora's sale and then went to Bath and Body Works with a coupon and got almost $30 worth of stuff for $10!!!

    For this weekend I am looking out for a nice romantic restaurant for a date wtih hubby.  Any suggestions?  We like ethnic food :)

  • Hi Bonnie! Sorry I have been MIA lately. I was co-chair of the NY branch of a national conference that finally finished yesterday! Woohoo! Actually Nestie Carrieland presented a peer-led workshop with folks from her grad school and one of our NYC Nestie lurkers was there (Hi Anna!). So fun!

    I am totally exhausted from working crazy hours. I am also planning a big bridal shower AT MY HOUSE. It?s this Sunday, so I have been running around like a mad woman trying to get everything ready to go. After Sunday, I will be a much happier person and hopefully around on the boards more.

    How are you feeling?

  • I have been super busy at work lately, and too pooped to nest when I get home.  I'm so glad I'll finally get to see everybody on Sunday. Yes

  • I'm around, and waking up is just what I need to do! Now in my third trimester, everyday at work around 3p.m., I hit the biggest wall and run out of steam! (Similar to how you feel in the 1st trimester). So, any free time I get at work, I'm always doing baby stuff--updating my registries, checking my to-buy lists, and reading the latest pregnancy news. Forget work, I'm exhausted just from all that! LOL.
  • As usual, I read your posts, but rarely respond- as a certain small person who lives here with me doesn't nap much.

    I did see Liz and Freddy out and about today though ( Hi Liz!)-  He is the cutest!  I was stalking her in our hood, I literally trotted after her with B. strapped to my chest- Hee hee

  • Just busy with work and social events.  This past weekend we had a friend from OOT stay with us.  I love being  tourist in my own city sometimes.  Good times.

    Tomorrow, drinks with some friends.

    Thurs, concert and meet up with a friend who just moved back to NYC.

    Fri and maybe Sat, meet up with friend from OOT (one of the pair for whom I am playing matchmaker).

    Sun, nestie brunch and meet up with friend who I haven't seen since my wedding (four years ago).

     

  • Hi ladies!! I haven't had much going on lately either. 

    I started my part-time job last week and it's going really good! I'm taking my real estate exam to get re-licensed on May 4th. Looking forward to that...  

    DH and i went to an NYU Dance Faculty Concert on Sunday and i wasn't very impressed... :-/ The choreography wasn't good and the dancing wasn't too great either. A few dancers were really good! These are the faculty and students i'm going to be dealing with come fall, so i got a little disheartened. But i have to remind myself that this isn't a performance degree or a choreography degree...it's an *education* degree! Plus, i'm too judgey when it comes to dance performances. ;)

    Oh, also, DH and i are going to NH this weekend so i'm actually out of the GTG. :( Sorry!! But we haven't seen the ILs since Christmas. I'm looking forward to it! 

    Um...that's about it... :)

    I've been loving your pics on FB!  I keep telling DH I want to come into the city and play tourist but we never actually do it.

  • Hi ladies!!

    Everything is good on our end! We had family visiting over the weekend and Monday & Tuesday so my free time was completely zapped. I've been just trying to keep up with laundry at home, getting naps when possible and enjoying Freddie. 

    (Hi Tracy!! It was so good to see you in the neighborhood.) 

    We might be moving! I know it seems absolutely crazy, but our lease is up in end of June and by chance we saw an apartment posting and went to look at it this weekend. They want someone in for mid-May if possible, so we'd have to find a new tenant to "take over" our lease for June so we wouldn't have to pay. I'm really liking the place - it's still in our neighborhood (about 9 blocks from our current apt), is completely newly renovated with a dishwasher!! and they seemed fine with us having our washer/dryer. And its in a brownstone which we both wanted. DH kind of wants to keep looking, but I really don't think there is anything better/comparable out there. I'll keep you posted! We're hopefully going to look at it again tonight (finished) - they were still waiting on the appliances and some tilework. 

    happy Wednesday!!

  • Just gettin up, going to work, coming home and repeating the whole cycle all over again. I work for a financial firm and we are right in the thick of  earnings season. Fun, Fun, Fun.

    The only exciting thing happening was that Al Pacina and Ray Liotta were filming right across the street from my house for two days. Yesterday, I managed to get Pacino's autograph and some great photos. He was right in front of my stoop.  What a nice man. Oh,  Channing Tatum (?) was also filming. There were a lot of girls waiting for him to come out of his trailer. I must confess, I don't have a clue as to who he is...I must be getting old.

    Again, can't wait to meet all of you on Sunday.

  • Soo busy at work, but getting more responsibility which is good in terms of career development.  I got a new office!  My own, and super nice, very excited about that. And car shopping with DH.  Our lease is coming up on our current truck and we're looking for something 7 passenger to accommodate us, 2 kids, dog and gear! (and the occasional grandparent!)  Nora's 3rd birthday is in a week and a half, can't believe it!

  • I've been crazy busy with work and school.  It's been hard to find time for much else.  Except, I think I exhausted myself and accidentally took a 12 hour nap yesterday.  oops!
