I'll be brief today, as I have a lot to do to get caught up at work, but hi!
Our weekend was pretty good, but Derek and I are both having troubles sleeping. Not good. I want to go back on vacation!
How was the weekend for everyone? Anyone observe Earth Hour? We played Skip-Bo by candle light!

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

Re: Good Morning!
Good morning!
Weekend was busy as heck, running around doing all sorts of random errands. There's still a lot to be done but this week is pretty busy already as we have a concert on Saturday night, meaning an extra rehearsal on Friday night on top of Wednesday and Thursday.
I completely forgot about Earth Hour, but we were out so nothing at our house was on... does that count?
Today is my first day in a long time commuting to work. I'm guessing it's about a half hour streetcar and subway ride though, so not too bad.

That's a really decent commute time ringy!
I'm on a JELI day today at school, which means I'm in the building, but I have a supply teacher covering my classes so I can spend the day organizing myself for the District Review our school has going on on Thursday (high stress!).
But before I get started, I'm having tea, yogurt and granola to power my way through the next 3 hours.

Morning ladies.
My weekend was uneventful. I went shopping Saturday solo with the boys - first time ever. They were so good.
Yesterday was a pj day and getting housework and laundry done.
This week they are requiring OT again, so it's work work work for me. Enjoy your day ladies.
I'm still beat up from the weekend. After working an awful, terribly planned open house on Saturday with twice as many people as we've normally had, my body slept for about 20+ hours, minus food and potty breaks. DH was sort of nervous I died I think. Sunday we just spent lounging around and watching TV. DH also insisted on fish shopping, so he brought home this guy.
I can't wait to go home and get in some quality sleep tonight. It seems like an every other night sorta thing lately. Not fun.
Friday, I left work at 10:30 because I wasn't feeling good, so I spent the day on the couch. Saturday was nice out and I was feeling better, so we spent the day at the Town Center (an outdoor shopping area here) shopping and walking around.
Saturday evening was interesting- Dh went to play poker and I was going to chill and watch some tv. About 5 minutes after DH left, I get a call from my grandma saying that my grandpa is in the hospital and she needs a ride home. The problem is my grandpa is at the base hospital and none of the rest of the family is military. DH does some work on the base though, so he has a temporary pass to get on. I had to call DH to come back and get me so we can get my grandma. We get to the base and find out that his kind of pass isn't valid to sponsor anyone else to come on, so I can't go. Well my grandmother said that she talked to the hospital and a driver to bring her out to us. I call the hospital when we get there and they say that since she's not a patient, they can't drive her. So DH has to leave me at the front of the base to go get my grandma. I end up standing there for 40 minutes before he finally gets her and comes back! It was just such a frustrating evening.
Sunday, I went to the grocery store, but felt awful when I got home, so I spent the rest of the day in bed.
Good morning. It was a good uneventful weekend. We have our first marriage counseling session this afternoon and I feel like I am in high school all over again. I am nervous and excited and scared all in one.
Good morning!
I totally forgot about Earth Hour. I'm a terrible human.
I did some shopping this weekend. We've been busting our assses to save money lately, and have refrained from treating ourselves. Sean received a referral bonus @ work so we made a trip to the mall. I got two new tops, two dresses, three bras, and seven pairs of undies. will be blogging about them all today.
still no AF as of this morning. last month's cycle was only 27 days, and I'm now on CD31. who knows what my uterus is up to in there, but it's driving me nutso.

Oh, we forgot about Earth Hour, but we weren't home, either (so everything was off). Does that count?
Good morning, all! This was a good weekend--H and I really got our acts together and did some major stuff early on in order to enjoy the weekend. I ran 10 miles on Sat. (was supposed to be nine) and I think I'm ready for the race next week. I tackled my mom's mole and rice recipe--the mole was fine, the rice I still need to fine tune. I'll need to talk to my mom again for tips.
And yesterday we bought our trip to Sun Palace in Cancun! I already put a countdown on my work computer--40 days to go.Thank you State Department for moving quickly on the H's passport renewal and turning it around in a week.

Good morning! We were also out during Earth hour so nothing in our house was on.
Friday night I went out with a couple of friends who I hadn't seen in a while and caught up with them. Saturday night we went out with a bunch of Kyle's friends who we hadn't seen in a while. Otherwise, I watched a lot of basketball, did some work around the house and took it easy. I feel more rested today than I have in quite a while.
Good morning.
I'm still trying to get it together. This weekend was a rough one for news for Dh's side of the family and my own. I'm still reeling and wish it was a dream. I'm also sick so I am desperately wishing I could go home and go to bed.
((hug))
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Good morning! We were also out during Earth Hour, everything in our house was off.
This weekend has been busy, I really feel as though I haven't had much of a break. I ended up getting called into work on Saturday night and worked four hours, and the day was fairly busy too. DH and I went for a beautiful walk, we are going to take the IL's there sometime soon.
We went to a new church on Sunday and it was great. We felt so welcome, which sometimes doesn't happen.
I'm already looking forward to next weekend....I really need some more time to relax.
Good morning ladies
Yesterday, I went to Nate's house to pick up my cat. We talked a little and he's doing much better, and so am I. It wasn't nearly as hard to see him as I thought it would be.
Today I get to pick up my new bed and bedroom set, and start getting settled in to this new "life". I'm glad I'm house/pet sitting right now for another week, it's kept my mind busy.
Have a wonderful Monday everyone.
Good morning!
Apparently I live under a rock because I didn't know anything about earth hour.
My weekend was good! Friday we went to dinner with some friends we hadn't seen in a while. Saturday I went shopping with my MIL and two of her sisters. I got two pairs of shoes and some easter decorations.
Sunday I cleaned and went grocery shopping, then we went to J's parents house for Sunday dinner.
Nothing exciting going on today. Since stopping BC at the beginning for March I've been feeling really gross! My face is broke out like a teenager, I've gained 2lbs, and my boobs hurt really bad! Oh well, it will be worth it some day....
Is that a Picasso Trigger-fish? We had a HUGE salt water tank at the first law firm I worked at. I loved our Trigger-fish, he had the funniest personality and always spit water on me when I fed him!
Morning Ladies! I feel kind of stupid, but WTH is Earth Hour?
Anyway, pretty eventful weekend. We attempted to do Happy Hour on Friday, but all the bars were packed for th games. Saturday afternoon we ejoyed some tax-free shopping in Delaware, then had dinner at a Thai BYOB.
Yesterday we hung up curtains, unpacked some knick knacks, and made a big pot of chili.
Yes! It's also called a humu humu triggerfish I guess. DH has been scoping them out since we set up our tank. I'll have to see if I can get a pic of all the fun fish in there. I love our porcupine puffer fish the best. He spits water at me, but I haven't had the pleasure of having the new guy do that yet. It's hilarious. We also added a blue lobster to our freshwater tank, and that guy is a riot as well. I never thought my fish, of all things in the house, would be weird.
Good Morning,
Today I did a lot of running around. I had to go see the RE one last time before June when we can reschedule my hysteroscopy. Then I had to take all my forms to HR because I'm going out for the rest of the year. I just can't anymore. So now I'm going to just worry about myself.
So I'm going to spend the next few days working on my portfoilio and other assignments from University and just focus on healing.
Good for you for taking care of yourself. Hugs.
Evening! My weekend was okay...my best friend came over and helped me clean out and organize our upstairs closets and my office. It looks great now! Sunday was just a lazy pj day...
BFP 5/2/11, missed m/c, D&C 6/13/11
BFP 12/8/11--Little Girl E Born 8/22/12
This weekend was okay. Saturday was pretty lazy...the usual.
Sunday I worked. Went to the gym after work and almost walked ou 5 minutes after I got there because I was grumpy and people are rude.
