Tuesday is only Monday in drag
Good morning girls. Tuesday, the day I hate most in the week.
Last night I went to the library, then home to finish freezing red sauce, make pasta and garlic bread for dinner, make hard boiled eggs, clean kitchen floor, put laundry away and do more laundry, then do around 20 more thank you cards.
I mailed the bulk of the wedding thank yous today...we only have about 50 more to do. MFD will do some and I will bang some out tonight. All 180+ will be in the mail within one month of the wedding. Whew.
MFD and I fell out on the couch at 10 and he woke me up at 12:30 and we headed up to bed.
This morning I got up, packed gym bag for tomorrow and lunch for today...no gym today. Dentist instead. Boo.
I also finally mailed the freaking request for certified copies of the marriage license. I need to start the name changing process. I think I'll do that next week or the week after.
Re: Tuesday is only Monday in drag
Tuesday is horrible. Monday you're still on a high from the weekend, Wednesday you're half-way there. Tuesday has nothing to offer. Nothing!
Glad you've been so productive, that's awesome!
FIL is staying for another night and I'm going to make lasagna.
Super excited to try PW's receipe! "The best ever"
I'm just exploring SparkPeople. I wish someone could work out for me and I could get the results. Please note: I am EXTREMELY lazy. But I have been feeling the urge to get back into working out lately. I just feel worthless. Hopefully this will help motivate me!
Do you find that working out mid-day helps you stay consistent?? I'm considering it. There's no way I could wake up earlier, and I am so tired after work...
This time of year kills me. It's dark sooooooooooo early and all I want to do is hybernate! I could sleep from now until Spring...Spring when it starts being really nice!!! Ughhhhh
Tuesdays are the worst! Mondays are really busy at work so once I get there (I work afts) and get going, the night is over before I know it.
I really need some motivation...so thank you. You're giving it to me!
I need to get off of TN and go to the post office to pick up a package. (I think it's a wedding gift) and get my day going.
Have a great one, ladies! xxoo Muahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (So glad I found you all again)
This is me 10000%. I know I want to tone up, but I also don't want to even make the effort. Ugh. Someone please send me some of your motivation?
Tuesdays really do suck. Especially this Tuesday. It's rainy and cold out, and all I want is to be at home in my pajamas with a book. Instead I'm stuck here writing stuff about stupid filter testing. Barf.
I agree - Tuesday sucks and especially a rainy Tuesday. Last night Tom and I went out looking for Halloween costumes, no luck. All of the thrift stores were closed.
We went to Walmart instead and got a few pieces of our costume but we need to work on it more.
Tonight - no plans except to watch the Phillies game! It starts at 4:00pm (wth!) so we will have dinner and watch the game.
I agree with it being so dark out - I slept late this morning. I should be out of bed at 5:00am, I got up at 5:30 because I was so cozy and it was raining.
Since I need something to look forward to I'm putting together a Football Fiesta in a few weeks. I'm making the following dishes and I'm so excited about it.
Chicken and Cheese Empanadas
Baked Chorizo and Cheese
Sweet and Spicy Short Rib Tacos
Shrimp and Spinach Quesadillas
YUM!!! Ok, back to work for now....ugh!
Urgh. I am beginning to dislike Mondays too. I work Saturdays, and for the last few weeks I have had Mondays off so Tuesdays have become my Monday in a lot of ways. I am really tempted by the sparkpeople you are all speaking of, but I think I started a dailyplate a LONG time ago. Everyone's motivation is great, and I wish I had it.
I have errands to run when I get out of work... and when I get home and we get through dinner and dishes, I just wanna veg out. I hate when it starts getting dark so early. That's really my one issue with fall.
tuesdays suck the most. this is my logic: everyone knows mondays suck. and wednesdays are hump days (aka week is half over, yay!). thursdays are the day before friday, and fridays are the best. so that leaves tuesday. still at the beginning of the week, nothing exciting, etc. lame.
alison, we are doing mexican tonight too! but really heathy mexican and no margs. boo diet.

Thanks Lia!! I was watching a cooking show on Saturday morning and was inspired. I've never cooked any of that stuff before so it will be a first for me but I think I can pull it off with Tom's help. If not we will just order pizza...haha!
I can't wait for it though because we can bust out the margarita maker and all of my wonderful friends and family got me a wishing well basket for my shower with a ton of fun Mexican and party things in it. I can't wait to use the stuff! Arrrriiibbbaaa!!
that's awesome that you're trying new recipes!! Let me know how they turn out, I'd love to have my own fiesta!
And yes, when all else fails, just keep the margaritas coming and everyone will be happy
I freaking love parties with a theme. Your mexican fiesta sounds awesome Alison! Fun times.
