Re: Random Poll
1. What's your favorite room in your house? why? Right now, none. But soon, it will probably be the basement because it will be new. New paint, new carpet, new fireplace, possibly new furniture. YAY. Or the baby's room, also because it will be new.
2. What are you most looking forward to this week, ASIDE from it ending/anything related to the weekend? Ummmm...possibly getting carpet installed this week!! Otherwise, our last infant care class tomorrow because then that will be over and we will be down to 1 class per week.
3. What would you rather be doing right now? Pretty much anything. Relaxing on my deck sounds nice although I don't think I've ever done that. Or sitting at home with the windows/doors open.
4. Do you flirt with your husband? Yes, that's our main form of expressing affection I guess.BFP#1: 01/10, M/C 6w -- BFP#2: 06/10, M/C 5w -- BFP#3: 09/10, DS born June 1, 2011

3. What would you rather be doing right now? Sitting on a bench at the playground, reading my book, while Mia plays with the other kids.

3. What would you rather be doing right now? I'd rather be at home finishing up some projects I have started.

1. What's your favorite room in your house? the living room and basement ("man lair") why? The living room is where we spend most of our time, it is close to the kitchen, front door, the couch is comfy, Jade's main bed is there. The man lair is nice because we can escape to it, it also has a t.v. but it is dark and cool in the summer time and we feel like we get away from the outside world.
2. What are you most looking forward to this week, ASIDE from it ending/anything related to the weekend? I have my first appt with the OB/GYN on Wednesday. Can't wait to ease my mind and make sure things are progressing as they should with Nugget. ::fingers crossed::
On Saturday we have a charity yard sale at MIL's work and we will be taking a lot of things for them to sell. The charity gets the money raised and another good part is that if the things dont sell they will take it away for us.
Nephew's 2nd birthday party is also on Saturday. I am hoping to take a bunch of pictures of him there. He is too darn cute. I can't believe he is TWO already! Then on Sunday I have the March for the Animals at Druid Lake and then a friend's surprise baby shower afterwards in Bel Air. WHEW! Busy weekend!
3. What would you rather be doing right now? out on our deck, reading a book or napping in the sun light with Jade and DH.
4. Do you flirt with your husband? Yes I do. Not nearly as much as when we first started dating. I feel it is important to do in a relationship. Especially when one is as self conscious/deprecating as I am. Flirting lets me know that he is still attracted to me.
1. What's your favorite room in your house? why? The living room...it's where DH and I just relax and unwind and spend a lot of time together. (Though it's not a "room", the deck is a close second on a day like today)
2. What are you most looking forward to this week, ASIDE from it ending/anything related to the weekend? The possibility of having a baby. I'm pretty sure she's staying put for another two weeks but the possibility is there and I'm looking forward to it whether it's this week or in the next two!

4. Do you flirt with your husband? I would say yes - it's different than if we weren't a couple, but we definitely do.Someone's getting a little brother!

2. What are you most looking forward to this week, ASIDE from it ending/anything related to the weekend? I'm really hoping I can get a hair cut and pedicure. That would be wonderful. I seriously thought about wearing open toe shoes today, but noticed that my toes are not painted, so I nix that idea.
3. What would you rather be doing right now? Taking the dogs and baby for a walk in her new wagon.

2. hrmmm- we have the fundraising event/auction thing for DD's school- but it's on the weekend, so that doesn't count? and I am getting my hair cut this weekend... so um, no there is nothing I am looking forward to this week.
3. I just wish my husband was home- DD is taking a late nap and DS took a big morning/midday nap so he didn't take a separate afternoon nap and I REALLY wanted to get out of the house to run some errands tonight, but now I doubt it will happen.
4. Not enough, but it's hard- especially when he always seems to come home from work later than expected. That extra 20 minutes is all it takes for my mood to change and for me to go from fresh to frustrated.
