Good Morning!
Well, it's finally Thursday. Only one more day after this until the weekend. I keep thinking days this week are days they're not, usually one day later (like I thought Monday was actually Tuesday, and yesterday felt like a Thursday) and that's usually upsetting.
About half of the Halloween candy I bought last weekend is gone. Derek stayed up until 2am last night playing his new video game (Fable 3) and eating his way through the box of Reeses cups, Resses Pieces and Oh Henry's. The box of gummy things is almost gone too. I should have stuck with my intuition and waited to get the candy until the last minute!!
Tonight looks to be pretty busy. I want to make up a batch of marshmallows to bring in tomorrow (and maybe dye them orange and flavour with orange extract) and I've got to hit up the grocery store AND go to the gym. Looks like I won't be going to bed early tonight!
How is everyone else doing today?
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Re: Good Morning!
Morning. I will admit, I bought our Halloween candy a week ago, and DH and I both decided no opening the bag until right before it is time for trick or treaters to come. We have stuck to it.
Obviously from my post below, I am not awake again today. Been up since 4:00 a.m. again, and already hitting the Diet Pepsi. On the bright side, today is my first weigh in at WW during lunch and I am actually excited for it. I even said no to the donuts that are sitting in the pod calling my name. I am excited to be back ON the wagon for my weight loss. Zumba again tonight.
I have to try to stay focused at work today. I only have today and tomorrow to make my file count, and right now I am about 2 files below the daily average. So back to work....for now anyway. Enjoy your day ladies!
Good morning! I have an unexpected day off thanks to whatever the hell happened in our building yesterday. I am taking the day unpaid since all of my stuff is housed on the agency's servers (per protocol), so I can't work from home. Will this make me back up things on personal email? Not a chance. :P~
I am having lunch with a friend, though, and am doing a few chores before that.

Good Morning, Ladies! Stayed up too late last night, and have a busy day at work today. But, a half-day tomorrow, so we're almost there.
It's only 18* now, but heading for a high today of 61*, so that's good.
Happy Thursday, everyone.
Good Morning Ladies!
I am so glad it's Thursday. This has been one long week. Although I do kind of hate to see another week go by we aren't moved into our new house go by, I am very excited to have a relaxing weekend.
I hope everyone has a great day!
It's a boss-free remainder of the week here and we are having birthdays today and tomorrow, so it's like Friday already! I get so much more done when he isn't here, it's amazing. I might even get all the piles of crap off my desk today.
Tomorrow is test day for me and I am getting really nervous. I am going to be crushed if the IUI didn't work, even though logically I know that at my age we really still only have about a 5 - 10% chance of it working. I wasn't that upset at the 11 times before because I knew we really didn't have a chance then with our delivery issues, so if it had worked it would have been a true miracle. This is the first time I really feel like we even had a shot at it. Anyway...rambling much? I'll keep y'all posted.

Rebaann good luck, I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Good morning ladies!
Today is gonna be a pretty busy day. I have a test for one of my classes in a little while. The remainer of the day I have tons of homework and a mariachi gig tonight at one of the local church's fall festival.
Good luck, rebaann! Keep us posted. I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed for you.
Today is my fake Friday. I had planned on getting the rest of my proposals out today, but thanks to the weather in DC, that's not going to happen. The servers are down. So, I'm planning on making sure that everything is in perfect shape so that my co-worker can (hopefully) send them out tomorrow for me. Then we're leaving town to be with DH's family.
I'm here! Exhausted, overworked and without the results to show for it. =(
Also, I've been talking about sexuality with my students today, which is always a rough topic.
I may get myself in trouble with a parent today. We were talking about homophobia, and a girl said that her Dad was saying he refused to ever vote for anyone who was gay. To which I responded that that was a form of homophobia. I'm hoping she doesn't repeat that back to him.
I suppose I could have said nothing in response, but I don't think allowing that kind of baseless hatred to go unchallenged is good either.

rebann, good luck tomorrow, my fingers are crossed for you.
kaesha, I think you did the right thing. I would have done the same. Good on ya.
I'm super tired today. I worked out again last night and am super sore so that isn't helping my motivation today. I have to make some sort of treat tonight to bring to work tomorrow. Any ideas? Other than that just lots of work stuff that I need to get done but the more I look at the pile, the less I want to do it.
Good morning.
It wasn't a great night last night. Gibson woke up at 5:30 screaming his head off, he has no memory of that but it freaked me out. I'm in extreme pain today so I think I'll just be hugging a hot water bottle all day and hoping the kids are on their best behavior.
Good luck Rebann! Keep us posted.
Kats, good luck at WW. I've done it a bunch of times before and found it really helpful. I just wish I had stuck with it after the wedding and not gained all the weight back. I actually just started counting my points again this week for the first time in a long time.
Today is going to be yet another busy day at work, so not much nesting for this girl. On a good note, I got my butt out of bed this morning and did w6d1 of C25k. Not quite sure how I did that after working until 10 and then vacation planning until after midnight. Looks like diet coke will be my friend this afternoon.
Rebaan, good luck tomorrow. I have everything crossed for you.
My boss is still out of the office today so it'll be another laid back day for me. I get to do my work without having her add on to it.
After work today I'm going to meet up with my friends for dinner. I'm really looking forward to it because it's been months so we all got together.
I have a day off! It is my first real day off on in 6 days. I am not answering any phone calls from work. The kids are really getting to me and I am not being therapeutic.
I am excited I am getting my hair done today. Other than that I am cleaning the house and watching United States of Tara.
