Good Morning!

I'm feeling pretty good yesterday.  I started to try to talk myself out of going to the gym since I was still pretty sore from Monday, but I went and I'm glad I did.  I managed to deadlift 100 lbs!  Go me!

Tonight should be relaxing in front of the TV with a glass of wine, my H and our Christmas cards!

And, tomorrow's Friday!!  

How is everyone today?

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

Re: Good Morning!

  • I took today off because I have a sore throat and strep is running rampant through school right now.  I can't afford to be sick tomorrow because we have a dance planned tomorrow night for student council, so I am hoping taking today will be enough.  But I also checked my email and found out that they are short two subs today, including someone for my room, so I have no idea who is with my kids today, which stresses me out a little bit...oh well...nothing I can do about it now.

    Ed has late meetings today, so I am on my own all day.  There is no food here, so I might have to venture to the store.  I may try to wrap a few gifts later and maybe run (since it is just my throat that feel bad), but we'll see how all that goes...

  • I'm at work, though my intestines feel like crap. They're all spazing out... and it's really painful. But, I have my kids' presentations today and tomorrow, so I really need to be there for them.

    We have a staff Christmas party tonight that I'm also not going to go to. I'm really bummed about that, as it was hilarious last year. My plan is to finish off with the last of my Christmas shopping tonight, go home and pass out.

  • Go raynes! That's very cool.

    Morning, all. Today should be a good day--lots of writing to do as follow-up to yesterday. Better writing than planning events, I say.

    Tonight's fajita night at the OT household, so I'm going straight home to start on those. I am very much looking forward to dinner! :)


  • congrats on the DL raynes!

     

    Nothing big here, waiting for tomorrow 5pm (or 4pm since I usually manange to sneak out early)... Going to make some buck eye balls tonight for our ugly sweater party on Saturday.  Hopefully I don't eat too many in the process.....

     

    And on a fantastic note, I managed to convince P to instead of wearing an ugly sweater (since we couldnt find one at target) that he could totally fit into the blanket sleepers - you know, one piece zipper feetie pjs - they had in the childrens dept.  Seriously the XL was huge (and P is lean and only 5'8 on a good day, so not that big, but still).... It's hysterical! 

    I think I'm going to return my kids holiday sweater and go buy a girls blanket sleeper instead.... it's going to be epic..... However, it kinda creeps me out that Target even sells them that large, in the children's dept.  What "child" (which to me means 14 and under) is wearing one peice zipper pjs at 5'8" and 150lbs+ ????  seems wrong.

  • EHayes* Giant children apparently. Which is odd, because I swear that kids are coming out smaller than when I was growing up. I'm sure it's all relative. Whatever.

    Raynes* Excellent DL. You must be rockin an awesome body by now. I'm so proud of you for keeping up with your workouts for this long. Definitely an inspiration for women everywhere. 

    Today should be kinda blah. I picked up my new car last night and am in love. Although, it has a ton of gadgets, which may or may not make me wreck it some day. Must stop playing with them. 

    I am hoping I can make it to yoga tonight (exercise in a gym kind*) and get some zen back in my life. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!

  • I'm off work again today...I work tomorrow and Sunday.

    Today I plan on getting to the gym and doing some cross training.  I managed to eek 4 miles out on the treadmill yesterday so I don't want to run again today.  My hip is sore which sucks but I really don't know what to do anymore.  I took a whole week off and I'm doing lots of stretching after each run.

    I have to get out to PetSmart today to buy a refill for my Felliway defuser.  I call it my kitty crack since it does seem to calm my poor anxiety ridden Winston at least a little.

    Othewise, today I'm going to keep working on my continuing eduation projects.   I've made a deal with myself that if I can get at least a little caught up, that I can get World War Z for Christmas and take the time to read it.

  • Yes, Erinn, pics are definitely required for that!

    And way to go raynes.  I need to find some of your motivation.

    I'm another one in the sick camp.  Hoping that the day off today will put me in a good position for the weekend.  I was supposed to be working from home tomorrow anyways, so no more office for me for the week.

    I was at a Halloween Party this past October and saw a guy  in giant foot pajamas. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. We must have pictures of both of you together.

  • Good Morning.

    Tonight I am going to the grocery store for all of my cookie ingredients and tomorrow I am baking away. i have also started my search for the ugliest sweater around for DH and I. We are having an Ugly Sweater Party next weekend.

    Have a great Thursday everyone! 

  • Pictures please Erin! Those sound great!

    Today should be a pretty easy going day at work, nothing substantial. I am just looking forward to coming home tonight and having my husband finally done all his schoolwork. I miss my him and want to have him back.

    Tonight we are doing an event with the kids we mentor and having them do a photo scavanger hunt around the mall. Should be fun!

  • Raynes - You are awesome!  Honestly you are who keeps me going.  Anytime I want to quit, I remind myself that you are doing it and so can I. 

    EHayes - Yes pictures are a must.

    My day is ok. I am really unmotivated to work, but what's new with that.  Otherwise I am out at 2:00 today, only because I don't have a sitter after 3:00.  Tonight is Zumba hopefully, and that is about it.

  • I am the proud owner a Z-pak this morning.  I still had a sore throat when I work up today and since I catch strep more than any grown person on the planet (just has a case in August) and because I am paranoid, I forced my way in to see the PA this morning.  She even commented on how I am never in the office except for strep - I also told her that there were two times not in the file where I had to go to urgent care on a Saturday for it.  

    She did the quick test, which was negative (it doesn't give false positives, but does frequently do false neg.).  The full on culture would take 48 hours, so we wouldn't have results until Monday anyway and rather than run the risk of this being strep and untreated for that long, she gave me the antibiotics.  An unnecessary z-pak is way better than untreated strep, and if it's just sinus, then maybe it will clear that up as a bonus.

    EHayes* Giant children apparently. Which is odd, because I swear that kids are coming out smaller than when I was growing up. I'm sure it's all relative. Whatever. Funny, because it seems to me like babies are coming out HUGE now. I was 6lbs 7oz (so was Derek) but now it seems like the norm for babies to be 9-10lbs.

    Raynes* Excellent DL. You must be rockin an awesome body by now. I'm so proud of you for keeping up with your workouts for this long. Definitely an inspiration for women everywhere. *sigh* I wish.  Some things are getting better, but my recent bout of gym slackage and increased alcohol consumption has lead to a bump up on the scale.  Stupid scale.

    Today should be kinda blah. I picked up my new car last night and am in love. Although, it has a ton of gadgets, which may or may not make me wreck it some day. Must stop playing with them. What did you end up getting?

  • Raynes: you go woman!

    Erinn: I cannot wait to see pictures!!

    Today is my mom's birthday so we're doing something with my family later. I plan on spending the day checking out my new ink :)

  • Erinn, I am definitely looking forward to seeing pictures of this!

    I have a busy day at work. Unfortunately. I was really hoping that my last week wouldn't be this busy, but that's definitely not the case. I'm working on three proposals and a budget for our new center. The guy leading the center is a pushy d-bag and is really getting on my nerves. On a positive note, I'm having a wine night with a friend tonight. I'm definitely looking forward to that!

  • I'm still not feeling well and hating work. I think I'm going to pull up our itinerary for Africa and stare at it when no ones looking.

    I only have to buy Christmas gifts for my step-daughter, and I still can't get motivated to do it.

  • Can't wait to see those pictures Erinn.

    Awesome job Raynes, you amaze me!

    Nothing to exciting going on at work today. Tonight I'm making chicken enchiladas and we're going to decorate the tree, while watching Shrek the Halls and Prep and Landing.

  • Good morning ladies!

    I got in to work a little late because I went to mail my secret santa gift. No special plans for today, just work. My mom is making meatball soup for dinner and she asked me to pick some up for Manuel and I to eat. I can't wait, mom's cooking is the best.

    2011 GMC Terrain..a little more of a mom car. DH wanted me in something safer. (I tend to hit things, like the trash can, shopping carts, people who suck*jk*) This is loaded with air bags and gives me much more cargo room.
