Good Morning!

Man oh man we made a tasty lasagna last night!  I'm slowly learning how to properly season food.

Today I've got to get my car e-tested so that I can renew my plates before my birthday, and Derek and I have to workout, other than that, no plans.

How is everyone today?

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

Re: Good Morning!

  • We decided to brave the crowds last night to go out to eat. I was craving pasta from Olive Garden as soon as DH mentioned dinner out. It was almost a 2 hour wait, but the food was oh so good. Needless to say, my stomach isn't handling it very well today, and I'm exhausted from being out all night. We hadn't gone out together in months, though, so it was nice to finally sit for a meal together.

    DH also called with the good news that he got a promotion and raise yesterday. I'm so excited to have some money going into savings again. School loans suck all the life out of a fun paycheck. All in all...great VDay.

  • Good morning, ladies.

    Not much going on here.  We went to spin class last night, then home to bed.  We don't do VDay.  Boo.

    Have a great day, everyone!

  • I had a good night. I left work early to go listen to the Illinois Senate President speak. It was really interesting to hear him in person rather than just reading about what he's doing in Springfield. After that I went home and took care of a few things around my house. I talked to Kyle for a bit and am very excited that he's coming home today. Then I was apparently on the local news last night for the event that I attended. I was stopped several times on my walk into work by people who saw me on the news. Who would have guessed that so many people watched the local news?
  • DH and I cooked dinner together last night - a rib eye stir fry from Jamie Oliver's 30 Minute Meals.  Quite good.  Today just a normal work day, seeing the chiro in an hour, and then home to workout.  DH is out tonight, so on my own for dinner.

  • I have to go to the airport today to pick up a guy on DH's crew (DH isn't coming home). Then I have to take him to the mall and then to the bus depot. A lot of cleaning is in the cards this morning. My 3 year old niece broke her leg so I want to be able to get out to my sister's and see my niece soon, it probably won't be today but I have to see her soon.

  • Good morning,

     Yesterday was good. It was beautiful hear so DH and I went on a walk that took us about 5 miles. It was nice to be outside.

    Today I think I'm going to tackle some packing. I want to be done and not think about it. The last time I traveled for a long time was our honeymoon and we had no time to prepare before we left and the day we left we were throwing things in our suitcases. 

    I'm also trying to pack very light, maybe do laundry midway through our trip. Anyone got any good thoughts on packing lighter.

  • Morning!

    We didn't do anything for Valentine's Day, however DH did make me a card that said Happy Valentine's Day Mom/Babe.  He even tried to write and draw like a little kid.  Best gift ever.

    Working out tonight, and hopefully getting a full night of sleep. 

    Have a great day everyone.

  • I'm tired and crampy and still nursing my pissy mood from yesterday, even though I have the best DH in the world.  He surprised me all day long.  There was an e-card and Amazon gift certificate in my inbox when I got to work, another card and chocolate in the car seat when we left for dinner and roses when we got home.

  • My husband thought I was getting home at 3:30 yesterday when in fact I was getting home around 6. Poor guy was quite worried. He had prepared an indoor picnic, it was quite sweet, he also made me a card and bought me some perfume, he was quite sweet.

    Today is a normal work day, I am planning to go to the gym in the evening. I'm not sure what we will have for dinner, I was thinking something with chicken and avocado's. I'm sure I will figure it all out.

  • Amie - that's awesome you were on the local news!!

    Reba - You have such a sweet thoughtful husband!

    We're not doing Valentine's Day until Saturday, so last night was just a normal night for me. I worked out, made dinner, watched a little TV, painted my toenails, and went to bed.

    I get to get out of the office for a while this afternoon. The town I work in is doing a grand opening for their new police station, so I'm going to that to do a little marketing for our firm.

  • Morning, all. Hope everyone's having a good day so far--not so shabby over here. It's my dad's birthday today, so I'll be calling to wish him a happy one. It's also book club night, so we're discussing two books since we didn't get a chance to meet in January. Should be interesting, and I have my suggestions for next month printed and ready to go. The work day should be quiet.

  • Good morning. DH and I stayed in last night which is great because I was really tired. I didn't sleep well last night so I'm sleepy today. I have a ton of stuff to do and now I have to start preparing for my maternity leave because my boss is a control freak and already worried about what she's going to do while I'm on leave. I love her but I mean, it's early to start freaking out.

    snoopy - congrats to your DH on the pay raise. That's always great news.

  • Morning! Last night was nice...we stayed in and ordered sushi, which was yummy.

    Tonight we are meeting our REA at the house for our final walk through. We close tomorrow!

  • Today I had training all day and it was ultra lame. Tonight I'm going to protest this new ridiculous proposal our new governor has.

    Then I'm going to have sex tonight to see if the old trick of having sex making your period come (though we've been trying that for about 10 weeks now).

  • Good afternoon (I'm always late to this post),

    We went out for dinner on Sunday night because Paul works til 10pm during the week. It was nice and I ate lots of pasta and bread. Mmm.

    I just got home from work and my day felt like it took forever to end - tomorrow is our first ultrasound (maybe only). We will hopefully find out that baby is growing and healthy and if it's a boy or girl! Excited!

  • Today wasn't too bad.  I started work at 7am today and then work was pretty busy.  I tried to go to the gym tonight after work and it was SO hard.  Today isn't a run day so I tried to do cardio on the elliptical, but that sucked, so then I hit the bike, and that sucked, so eventually I ended up on the recumbent bike.  I did eek out an hour but now I'm home and just relaxing.
