Wednesday Randoms
Re: Wednesday Randoms
Um, I'm not sure what to do today. Laundry is down. I'm waiting for the floor in the small bed room to finish drying from the stain I did. Dishes are being cleaned by dishwasher. House looks fairly acceptable. I guess I could get dressed. hhmmm What to wear. It is extra special cold outside.
Maybe I should figure out what to make for lunch and dinner. That means I would have to clean the fridge. Maybe I'll do that. There isn't much in the fridge as shopping day is this weekend.
Speaking of shopping I haven't been really excited about the grocery add lately. It doesn't seem like I'm seeing any great deals. Although the last time I did go shopping I was somehow able to save $45 in coupons and in store savings. That was a first. I didn't meal plan for this week either.
Slowest week ever.
I traded in my Chevy Equinox on Monday and bought a mini van. DH has been wanting one for a while now, though I feel silly driving it with only one kid. We do travel quite a bit with the dog though, and she can't get herself in and out of the Equinox nor is there a lot of room for her in the back. Now I have a huge Grand Caravan with stow and go seats. Meeko isn't going to know what is going on this weekend when we go "home" to Flint!
Yay for a new van.
Are you planning on having more kids?
I'm waiting for a wave of pregnancy announcments among my friends. It's been over a year since any of us has had a kid, I'm sure the next round will be coming soon. (Err, though not from me.)
We are planning 1 more, I just can't decide on when. If it were up to DH we would have done it a year ago lol. I'm thinking soon though, because I want them to be somewhat close in age. I'm just soo nervous because Ben was NOT a happy baby. I dont think I can do the sleep deprived newborn thing. Baby #2 better be an angel!
Congrats! Boys are awesome.
My other random is that I came to work wearing jeans and a hoodie. I look neat and clean, but very very casual. Good thing my boss doesn't mind.

About 7 years ago, H and I took a trip to Florida. We didn't plan ahead, and didn't reserve a rental car. We got stuck with a minivan. We thought it was hilarious. And embarrassing. Ironically, we ended up looooooving that vehicle.
If you get over the feeling that you're driving a bus, it's not so bad
We have family and friends that visit a lot, so it will be nice to be able to fit into 1 vehicle to go do things, rather than take 2 cars 
Yay
-Yay
Well that was annoying. Sorry for the dups kids.
What I wanted to say was:
Yay - Congrats Mira!
I also wanted to say I think vans are awesome. Bonus points for wood paneling.
And if TN isn't having babies, everyone else I know seems to be. I can name 5 people that are due between now and the end of March, and an additional acquaintence popped one out a week ago.

I bought a pair of skinny jeans this weekend. They had a whole rack of them for $5 at Old Navy, so I figured why not. I plan to wear them tucked into my boots because I hate having soggy jeans. But MAN they feel weird on. It's like being back in elementary school for me!
I also picked up a cute pair of black mid-calf motorcycle-y boots this weekend at DSW. I dont own any black shoes, and they were on clearance. I came home with the skinny jeans and boots and DH looked at me like I had 2 heads haha.
Awww congrats! Got a name picked out yet?
Yay for Baby Boy!
Not sure about Van's - Nice for traveling with a large group but I don't think I could do it as an every day car.
Time for lunch? What's everyone got?
We have a van - love it. Got 2 kids though. Speaking of cars, my POS is in the shop right now trying to figure out what is wrong with it. It's leaking coolant. So we shall see.
Lunch - I have a calzone and a pear.
green monster smoothie?
Thanks all. Charity~ nope no names, yet.
Van lovers, if anyone if ever interested in a new Caravan or Town & Country let me know.
A spicy mix of beans, corn, tomatoes served on a bunch of greens. I'm left wishing I grabbed something sweet to eat afterwards.
Baby spinach, a banana, a scoop of peanut butter and milk blended up. Looks gross, tastes delicious
ACTUALLY sounds good
I had BBQ pulled pork and some salad. I'm full and back at the office which is warm today. So I'm in a warm space and have a full belly. Sleepy time, yes?
Ha, those 5 girls I mentoined who are pregnant right now?
Just got a TM from one - dialated to 5 and just got an epidural! Looks like she'll be a mama soon! :-)
Exciting!!!!!!
