Good Morning!

I was in early today so that I can leave even earlier than I'd planned. I'm off at 11 am to get my eyebrows tamed and then my hair cut.  I reallly need it.  It's getting too long.  Like, almost to my shoulders too long.

Then I'm off to work on my SS gift and bake cookies!

How is everyone today?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Re: Good Morning!

  • I have zero motivation today and my boss is already on vacation for the long weekend, so very little has gotten done today.  DH and I are headed to Dublin for the long weekend and I am really excited!  So pretty much I've been writing my packing list and refining our trip itinerary today.  I will hit the gym tonight before I head home, but that will be about the only productive thing. 

    Motivation is low over in my office.

  • I'm on vacation!  But I got up when Ed left for work and already got the dining room set up for hosting both our parents for Thanksgiving tomorrow and moved around the furniture in the living room to fit more people.  I vacuumed, dusted, and got the guest rooms ready for Ed's parents.  I'm so motivated today apparently.  Don't worry, I'm sure it will pass.

    I still need to make cookies, bake a pie, clean the kitchen, do some laundry, and clean the family room.  I also need to get in a 4-6 mile run.

  • Blech. I'm home sick. My throat feels like sandpaper and I sound like a 13 year old boy whose voice is breaking.

    At least this means more snuggling with Sherlock time. But I still have to do some work today at home because I have a deadline for a proposal tomorrow. Hoping to get that done quickly so I can go back to bed.

    Oh man my choir conductor will be so upset if I can't sing at our concert on Sunday.

  • Feel better Ringy.

    I am working at home today, but I don't know if I would really call it "working."  I have ZERO motivation.  I really need to stay focused, but I don't think I can.

    I am hoping to get some Zumba in tonight even though last night kicked my ass.  I haven't been this sore since the first time I did it.  Oh well, I know it is a good thing.

  • I barely did anything at work yesterday, so I'm going to try to stay off the internet and get a bunch done today. Our office is closed tomorrow and Friday. Hope everyone has a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans!

    Oh and ps: A question on Jeopardy last night was something like "What country celebrates Thanksgiving in October?" And I yelled out Canada! I then turned to DH and said "I know 100% that's right because of the Nest. We wish the Canadian girls a Happy Thanksgiving in October."

  • Lol at Mrs Sikes!  That's awesome.

    This morning I have my physical.  *gulp*  I'm a little nervous since I haven't had one since before DH and I became sexually active and it was ridiculously painful.  I had one before that that wasn't bad but the last time I don't know if she was extra rough but it hurt so bad I actually screamed and almost kicked her in the face.  Embarrassed  I was so embarassed.  She wrote me an rx for 2 years of birth control at that point. 

    Today is my Dad's birthday and I'm having him, his girlfriend, my brother and his girlfriend over for dinner.  That's right, my Dad has a girlfriend!  I couldn't be more happy for him.  I need to go shopping for ingredients for dinner.

    Somewhere in there I also have to get some cleaning done, go for a run and I have a massage at 3pm.  Jam packed day!

  • I'm in today until 2 (although I'll prob bounce earlier)... probably not working to hard since I got a lot done yesteday.  I still need to run by the store (again) and get a few last minute things.  I'm also working on my mom and MILs "gifts" that we are giving them to announce the news, so I'll probably do that here, LOL.

    Got a lot accomplished on our to-do list night.... makes me feel good :)

  • Apparently I have trained my body to up and going by 7:00am. So I am up at 7:00am on my day off.  I have the next 3 days and we were suppose to go to Utah but the roads on the western half the of the state were closed.  We get to spend Thanksgiving at home, but maybe I will get my puppy earlier than expected! 

    Here is a picture of little Rockie.

  • aryl, Rockie is super cute!

    Morning, all. Today's a short day--I should get out by 2pm provided that our VP doesn't decide to be a hard-ass (as my H says, they're penny wise, pound foolish here).

    Last night we did end up going to the basketball game, which ended up being a lot of fun (and a win for the Wizards over the 76ers in OT). Tonight we should go to the gym and maybe do some laundry. It should be a nice and quiet long weekend. :)

  • Ringy - hope you feel better soon.

    aryl - that is the cutest dog ever.

    I'm off work until Monday.  I've got a lot of Thanksgiving cleaning and prep to do today.  I'd like to go to the gym with J this morning and I have a few errands that I want to run.  I don't know why I always have to try to jam so much stuff into every day off work.

  • Feel better Ringy!

    Today I'm finally going to see Harry Potter with my big sister, and do a little shopping for her. I'll probably premake some of the stuff I'm making for thanksgiving tomorrow. 

     Tomorrow we're hosting thanksgiving here at the house, I'm glad so in case I'm having a bad day I don't have to be around anyone but the family. I'm making rebaann's sweet potato souffle, and this awesome stuffing I found. Sean is infrared frying the turkey. My family is bringing everything else. 

     I have therapy on Friday afternoon, which I'm looking forward to, but also I'm dreading it. I'll have to tell the story all over again. I hate it. I have a feeling Friday is going to be hard. 

    The rest of the weekend is  getting ready for the cruise.

  • Hope you feel better soon Ringy!

    Your puppy is adorable Lyra!

    I'm hoping we'll get out early today. We have a potluck at noon and we're going to watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Hopefully they'll let us leave after that.

    Tomorrow we're going to J's parents and then to my parents. My sister and I are planning on starting our Black Friday shopping at 10pm tomorrow, so excited!!

  • I'm currently sitting in the doctor's office in a stunning purple gown. She's 15 minutes late already (and I'm the second appointment of the day). 'Tis the season for all the fun annual testing. After, I'm heading to the market to pick up dinner for tonight and ingredients to bake cookies and cream cupcakes for a school bakesale tomorrow.

    I hope this is the year Charlie Brown finally kicks that darn football!

    We are prepping for the fam to come in towns...  I've been mopping and doing a final vacuum job this morning.  I work 2-6:30, and then I'll come home and Mom and Dad will be here and the boys will do something while Mom and I cook for tomorrow!

  • I'm working today. It's officially winter here. It's been sleeting all morning. I saw probably a dozen accidents on my drive in this morning. I was hoping for a quiet day at work, but just got a huge project dumped on me, so I guess I'll be busy.

    Then tonight we're leaving to head to Kyle's grandma's house for Thanksgiving. Yum!

  • Good morning ladies.  Work is pretty laid back today, so I'm hoping to get to a few straggling projects that have deadlines next week.  I also need to clean up my office.  There's nothing worse than coming back from a long weekend to papers all over my desk and not being able to find things.  Tonight B and I are planning on inventorying all the wine we bought in Napa over the summer and figuring out where exactly to store it.

  • Good morning ladies, our storm last night was not was they made it out to be. I can't remember the last time that schools and state offices closed like that, and all for a pretty mild storm (by our usual standards).

    The roads were pretty bad this morning, but nothing we don't see every year. I think people just forget that they live in Utah and it snows, duh!

    Lyra, I did hear that the roads are worse the further north you go but I'm sorry your trip had to be canceled. Better safe than sorry!

    I work til 6 tonight and J is headed to Idaho to spend Turkey day with his family. I'm working Friday and Saturday so I can't go. Bummer deal. I am going to attempt to make a pumpkin roll to take to my aunts tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well!

  • I'm so jealous of all you ladies that have the rest of the week off. I have four more days this week to work. :(

    I've been pretty sick this morning, again. I do plan on going to hang out with a friend for a bit this afternoon (if I 'm feeling up to it) and then heading to work at five. Oh, I also have to clean up this house - I've been basically doing nothing around here for a week and a half.

  • After my snow/ice day yesterday it was hard to get up and come to work this morning. Hopefully the weather continues to improve because I'm going to be a wench tomorrow if my flight to Alaska is cancelled.

  • We were up at 6 this morning to get Russ to the airport for work. We all have a flu bug so I'm keeping Gibson home from school today. I had to pick him up early yesterday because he had such a high fever. I'm working on my business plan again and have to come up with a budget for myself today. It's fun doing all this shopping for what I need to start up my business and by the sounds of it, if my business plan is all in order, I will get the grant I applied for. I've been keeping my fingers crossed!

  • I'm home from work until Monday. The holidays are the only time I'm grateful to work at a school. I'll be cleaning the house from top to bottom since we're hosting turkey day for DH's family. The dog fur is getting to be outrageous, since it is apparently shedding season early this year. Thankfully they haven't started shedding too bad just yet. I just need to find a way to keep them off the one area rug that we have for a day. I might have to roll it up until company comes to make sure it's clean enough for our nephews to play on. Stupid fur!

    I guess I should get to breakfast and then start cleaning. It's only noon already! I had to watch a movie this morning so I could get it back in the mail. (thank you Netflix), so now I have a late start to my day. Ooops!

  • Good morning ladies!

    I'm already having a shiity morning thanks to my idiotic co-worker. I've decided to ignore him for now and deal with it next week. This isn't how I want to start of my long weekend.

    I'm also out of here early today. I need to get a hair cut and run some errands before tomorrow. I'm hoping the day goes by quickly but I'm not leaving until 2 or so. Hope you all have a great day!

  • I just got back from an afternoon of watching tennis - gotta love those client events!  I of course don't get Thanksgiving holiday here, but my mind seems to think I do since I've pretty much mentally checked out for the rest of the week.  We will be doing a mini TG dinner tomorrow night, with a few friends coming over, so I'm hoping to be able to leave work early enough to do some cooking.  I'll be trying out a slow-cooker turkey breast, so I'm just hoping it's not going to be an absolute disaster!
