Good Morning!

Yay Thrusday.  Freaking finally.  I can't wait for the weekend.

I still have a scratchy feeling in my throat, but it hasn't really progressed past that point, so I'm hoping a few good nights of sleep will kill it completely.

How is everyone today?

Re: Good Morning!

  • Morning ladies.

    Raynes hopefully you will be back to 100% soon!

    Today is a good day, with the exception of one thing.  The good things were the thoughts I had first thing when I woke up.

    • Zach slept through the night again (that is 2 nights in a row) and I only had to get up once with Christian!  Wow might there be 8 hours of consistent sleep in my future?
    • Ok I did read that right (as I double checked from my phone this morning) Rebann really is pregnant and it wasn't a dream. Big Smile

    Now the not so good. Today is weigh in day, and I was out of control for the long Holiday weekend. I already know I have a weight gain, but I need the reality check, and it is right back on track for me.

    Have a great day everyone!

  • I just came from a fantastic lunchtime performance by an acapella group singing Christmas carols.  Now I have a huge smile on my face and am totally in the holiday spirit!  I also decorated the apartment last night ... so bring on Christmas!

    It doesn't seem real at all, but my nurse assures me that I am. Big Smile  Plus, I POAS again last night, just to make sure.

    It's still super busy here, with the addition of being extra cold.  At least the sun came back out.  I'm waiting on a call from our lawyer about the FEC filing that due today and I have a moving company coming in about an hour to give us a quote on moving the office.  This afternoon I'm supposed to me the computer wiring guy at the new space for a walk through.  Lord knows what else will pop up today.

  • Good morning. Managed to get in a run last night and am going to enter the lottery for the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler today. Here's hoping I get in. We're doing more of the last-minute rush job today, so that should be fun (or at least make the day go by fast).

  • I am home working on presents for the kids in our lives and having a Harry Potter marathon.  I'm with Raynes... My throat is at that annoying scratchy stage. Ugh.

    Here's a preview of the pillowcases I am making for the kids:

    I am starting on stitching around all the edges of the letters...  Why did our siblings name their kids with such long names?! (Okay, not Kate, Molly, or Anna, but William, Wellesly, Caroline, Allison, and Elizabeth. Shoot me.)

  • Today I'm off work. 

    My plans include going to the gym, shopping for presents for a 2 years old I picked off our church's giving tree, getting a few presents for the toy drive at work and a baby present for an acquaintance who is due soon.

    I'm also trying to get someone from work to switch my 4 hour shift on Saturday.  We found out last night that Saturday morning will be funeral for our friend's Dad.  Hopefully someone will be nice enough to switch under the circumstances.

  • Mornin' I am feeling sore. I started working out again. It's a good hurt but ouch. 

  • Good morning!

    Seems like it's gonna be a good day. I actually don't have crazy amounts of homework to do. Today I'm just gonna enjoy take it easy cause the next two weeks are gonna be hell due to final exams for all seven of my classes.

    I really can't wait till tomorrow cause I'm going shopping for Christmas presents.

  • Good morning. I am good. I enjoyed the premier of Top Chef All Stars last night. I watched it at a friend's house with a bottle or two of wine. No big plans today. I may try to go to bed a little early.
  • I'm super tired today, which is dumb, considering I got to sleep much earlier last night than normal. Although, I did wake up a ton last night and this morning. Hopefully I can nap it out after work tonight before Grey's Anatomy comes on.

    I managed to cook a super carb filled dinner last night, which means I get to eat it for lunch today, too. Did I mention it's delicious and warm comfort food?Screw the carbs. 

    I also managed to get in a workout last night for the first time in a very long time. I hate when I get thrown off track. I'm hoping to hop on the elliptical when I get home before I get sidetracked doing anything else.

  • Good morning. My mom and little sister are coming in today to do some shopping. I'm going to meet up with them at the mall, I have to take Gib for an eye appointment there anyways. My migraine is coming back so I'll be doing little nesting today. Maybe I'll get some laundry done. Maybe.

    Hope you feel better and I really like these!  Very cute.

  • Morning ladies. Today is yet another busy work day.  It's probably going to be this way until the end of the month.  Tonight, B and I need to figure out our menu for Saturday's Hanukah party.  On a non-personal note, Illinois's governor is supposedly signing a civil union law today granting same sex couples the right to get "married" kinda.  Apparently, their "marriage" will be state-recognized but not recognized by the federal government.  I'm not quite sure how this differs from other states' laws.

    Aw crap, I didn't even  know that was on!  I watched all of Top Chef DC and I think I'm hooked.  I'll have to find this new season and set it up to record!!

  • Good Morning!

    I am still coughing and very tired but other than that all is well here. Just a normal work day then I am picking out paint for our bedroom and doing some grocery shopping. I'm pretty exciting! 

  • Good Afternoon ladies! I've been organizing my clothes and shoes (finally) today. I figure now that we have snow I can finally put away the flip flops! Next up is packing for Michigan, we leave on Saturday!
  • I stayed up late drinking wine and watching Top Chef All-Stars as well. DH even seems to enjoy it so I stole some snuggles at the same time.

    I just looked at my calendar and realize we have at least one event every week in the evenings, as well s something every weekend from now until January 1st. Ugh. I love the holidays, and I usually love when they're over and life is back to normal.

    DH must want something, he agreed to go with me to a huge holiday/craft bizarre this weekend, where I will hopefully find that perfect something for my secret santa :)

  • Good morning! I have a busy day at work today getting the client billing sent out. It's the first time I have to do it by myself so I'm a little nervous I'm going to mess something up.

     Tonight I'm going to Bed Bath and Beyond to find an "As Seen on TV" gift for our white elephant gift exchange for work tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it to Kohl's and as, I'd love to get a new outfit for the party tomorrow too.

  • Oh man.

    I had another pair of Gap jeans rip this morning.

    That makes two pairs this year. Two means it's not a coincidence, right?

    Ugh.

    I have a headache right now, but am generally having a good day! I bought some Christmas presents last night and I'm going to pick up some more on the way home today.

    precisely why i hate Gap jeans. They tear like no other. Hope your headache goes away.

  • Good morning! I woke up not feeling great, I think I have a sore throat. I've had a busier than expected morning and the afternoon isn't looking any better. Hopefully I'll have time to nest here and there. Have a great day ladies!

     Yep, I have only ever had one pair of jeans rip on me, and they were Gap.  I really think their whole product line - Gap, Banana, and Old Navy - has gone WAY downhill in terms of quality in recent years.  

  • Well, as per usual it is 5pm...but I had a great day!  We watched a movie in my classes today (the only movie I show all year--a biography on Charles Dickens) so I had an easy day and got a lot of stuff done, then had a productive meeting after school. 

    Then I realize that there are 4 weeks left in December (duh...apparently I was being an idiot and thinking there were only 3 weeks....) so I can stop stressing out about meeting my self-imposed running mileage goal for 2010, so I decided to skip today's run and go out to dinner with DH instead!

    I am off tomorrow as soon as school is out for a girls' weekend with my three best girlfriends.  We are Christmas shopping and drinking lots of wine, so I can't wait!  Have a great weekend ladies!!
