T.G.I.F.!

Good morning everyone!

So, I didn't end up painting last night, but I did go for a run, so yay!

We also picked up and hung some art last night, which is awesome.  We've got one more piece of art from Etsy somewhere in the mail (stupid USPS), but we dont' have the walls ready for that one yet, so, whatever.

Tonight is painting party and maybe games night and tomorrow the inlaws are coming over.

Sunday will be ???  Painting probably, and a workout.

What does everyone have on the go this weekend?

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

Re: T.G.I.F.!

  • Good morning!

    We're singing in a concert on Saturday, but other than that I think we'll be staying home. V's final defense is on Tuesday so I think he'll be studying!

  • I think we're visiting with the in-laws tonight. I wish I could look forward to it, but their kids are insane. Hopefully the cuteness will outweigh it all.

    Tomorrow will be general lounging, and maybe a nice long walk. I had to miss out last night. I was having some weird pains, so I just lounged in the backyard instead. Nothing like a good book in the sunshine. 

    Sunday should be some baseball and more lounging. I can't remember the last time we stayed home on a weekend. I have a feeling we'll find plans to do and such.

  • Happy Friday!  I didn't get a run in this morning as I wanted, since I woke up with a nasty headache.  It's better now, and I hope to be in decent shape to get in a quick run this evening.  Tomorrow is a driving lesson and then tea with a friend.  Sunday we have lunch plans with some other friends.  This is a our first weekend in London together in ages, and last one until the end June, so we better make it a good one!

  • Hey Ladies,

    Well on Sunday we were suppose to be on a plane, but C changed everything :) so I'm not sure what we're doing this weekend. Lounging? PJ parties? Who knows. Tonight we're going to see Beauty and the Beast on stage. Tomorrow I have that job fair that I'm slightly freaking out about. Hopefully I'll get picked up by the Elmbrook district :)

  • Good Morning.

    Tomorrow is Jordan's first tball game. I still haven't heard from Eli so I am sort of anxious to see if him or his mom show up for the game. I plan on taking the kids to see the easter bunny after the game. Sunday church and maybe play time at the park.

    My main goal this weekend is to try and get the kids back into a "normal" routine. I also hope to get to talk to Jordan this weekend and see how he feels about everything.

  • Good Morning.

     

    I woke up with a nasty migraine so I am counting the hours down already.

    Tonight will probably be pretty low key. DH and I promised each other a romantic date this weekend and I am pretty pumped about that. He is the BEST!

    Saturday we are expected to get some snow so no yard work this weekend which means house work wins. I have neglected laundry and other chores this week so the weekend it is.

    Sunday, I am going to a bridesmaid brunch for my best friends wedding in November. I am excited to see all the girls.

    Have a great weekend ladies!

  • Morning ladies. I didn't think Friday would ever get here.

    I'm exhausted to say the least.  My boys have forgotten what it is like to sleep at night. UGH.

    However, tonight will be low key, maybe a movie at home with DH. Tomorrow he is working so I will probably run some errands and then catch up on some laundry.

    Sunday is church and family day.

    Have a great day/weekend ladies.

  • Good morning, all! Last night I managed to get in a 3-miler, then it was a quick dinner and to bed. This weekend will be quiet; it's the first full weekend we've both had in weeks so we're just going to catch up on some things: cooking, cleaning, errands, gym, reading, writing, etc. Nothing too special. H has the day off and plans on enjoying today's sun. I'm probably going to sneak out a little early to join him. :)

    Hope everyone has a great day!

  • Happy Friday!

    I finally got some good sleep last night and am feeling much better. After work I'm going to lunch with a co-worker and maybe seeing a movie.

    Tomorrow morning I need to run around and pick ups some gifts. Tomorrow evening I have to go to a b-day party at Chucky-Cheese for twin 9 year old boys. Sunday I'm helping host a bridal shower for J's cousin. All and all sounds like an exhausting but fun weekend!

  • MO - good luck with the job fair!

    I got my official letter stating that I'm surplus today, which only slightly sucks, but, so long as no one else applies for the job next week, I should be golden. I still have to get my resum? updated this weekend!

    We're going out for a friend's birthday tonight. A little pool and some drinks and a vegan cake! Love it! This weekend is supposed to pour, which is a bummer. This sunshine has been so awesome.

    Phil was fantastic and rented a car for us to drive to Ottawa for Easter next weekend. It's been rough with the job ambiguity, and I've really missed my family.

  • Good morning and TGIF! Kyle and I rented a movie last night and took it easy. Today I have lunch with some friends and then nothing after work. The only plans that we have this weekend are attending a couples shower on Sunday. Otherwise it will be the typical cleaning and laundry. I'm also hoping to get caught up on my sleep since we'll be pretty busy for the next several weekends.
  • Good morning, ladies.

    The year from hell continues.  I really need a break - I can't work like this all year.

    Working tomorrow; who knows what will go on Sunday.  I'm so burned out that Sunday will likely be nothing but laundry and cleaning.

  • Hey ladies!

    I'm not usually around this early but Paul had to get up earlier to leave early for work, so I'm up!

    Tonight we are hanging out with friends, I think. Tomorrow we have nothing planned, with sounds wonderful. Usually we are running around everywhere on Saturdays. Sunday we have breakfast planned with Paul's parents, then we are going to our friends' house to hang out and have dinner. While there, I am attempting to make a bunch of diaper liners/inserts, using my friends' sewing machine. Excited!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  • I get to shovel snow off my driveway and sidewalks today. Yay me! I have a baby shower to get to tomorrow and I still have to shop for it. I feel horrible, I thought it was next month. Then we have to make the 2 hour drive to go visit DH's parents cause they refuse to come see us.

  • Today is a short day for me at work, I think I will probably go to the gym and enjoy some sun. Tomorrow we are going to Victoria with the IL's so that should be fun, visiting a petting zoo and having a picnic. Enjoying being out of town.

    We found out two days ago that we can't go visit my family over Easter long weekend because B has school on Monday and it just wouldn't be enough time to get up there, they live over 600 miles away . I am pretty bummed out about it, I haven't been home since September. B was trying to figure out if there was a way for just me to go up but, it just wouldn't make any sense economically.

  • Morning!  The boss is out today so yay!.

    Tonight I want to get our amended returns done, signed and mailed.  Shouldn't take long.

    This weekend I have a bunch of errands to run and I want to blog and knit.  Saturday night is game night at church, so I think we'll go to that.  Sunday is normal church and dinner at SIL.

    The beta was negative yesterday.  We have an appointment with the RE on Wednesday to discuss what he recommends.  We are pretty sure he'll suggest IVF with we don't want to do.  I hope that he will agree to try IUI the two more times that insurance will cover.  We are starting to research adoption and figure out how we would pay for that.  Fortunately, with adoption, all the fees are not due at once.

  • Good morning!

    I'm exhausted. I walked to a concert last night. Thinking on my way there that I would be selling my tickets to some lucky fan because DH called and said the volunteer thing he's working on was keeping him late. I got there though and Dh called and said he could make it. Had an awesome time at the show. Except since I didn't think I was staying I didn't bring ear plugs and my right ear is ringing. :/

    It was a great show and we got home at 12:30 Yikes. I'm to old for that kind of thing on a work night.

    This weekend is going to be slammed.

    I am relaxing tonight because Saturday is a huge county wide volunteer thing my DH has been working on. Then we are going to a pub that my photographer's BF is planning on proposing to her. He invited everyone and is filling up the restaurant with everyone. To get us all to help hum "i'll stop the world and melt with you." I'm excited because I really like them. The restaurant is also one of my favorites so it's a double happiness.

    Sunday My Mom, DH's mom and sister are coming to visit to go to lunch and the museum. I'm taking them to Richard Blais's restaurant since my Mom loves Top Chef.

  • Mo, good luck at the job fair!  I'm sure you will knock their socks off. 

    Crystal, good luck with your talk with Jordan.  It's great that you are going to sit down and have a discussion with him rather than just pretend nothing is going on.

    Kaesha, what happened yesterday with your principal telling everyone but you she was hiring you back?

    Les, I hear you about working ALL the time.  My job can be totally unpredictable, and yesterday I found out that a project I thought was almost finished now has way more work to do going forward than everyone expected.  You need to plan a vacation so that you have something to look forward too.

    Donna, I can't believe it's still snowing by you.  Crazy.

    Reba (or anyone else with knowledge about this), what's the difference between IUI and IVF?  I have no clue about any of this.

    Eva, I hear you on late nights and being too old.  B and I went to an Obama kickoff campaign event last night, and not only did we wait in line for EVER, we couldn't get a cab on the way home and didn't get home until rediculously late. 

    Today is a shortened day at work because I have to leave early to attend a bris.  I'm excited to meet our friends' son, but it also makes me a bit sad that B and I aren't TTC yet.  I know waiting is the right move for us right now, but I'm starting to forget the reasons we decided to wait.

  • Good morning!

    I can't believe it's already Friday, it came to quick for me.

    No major plans for me this weekend. Just tons of homework and house work. I can't wait for the semester to be other to finally get my life back.

  • Yay Friday! Tonight we're going to have dinner at the IL's for FIL's birthday. Tomorrow we need to go shopping for FIL's gift and in the late afternoon we're going over for a bar-b-que to celebrate his birthday with the rest of the family. Sunday we plan to visit our friends and their baby. She was born last week but we didn't get a chance to visit yet. I'm really excited to meet her. Hope you all have a great weekend!

  • So glad it's Friday, but I have way too much going on this weekend.

    For today, I've already run 10km, and I'm leaving in a few minutes to drop off my brownie Oreos at the hospital and go to Tommy Europes talk.  After that I need to buy a birthday present for my nephew.  Tonight is rehearsal for Easter Vigil.

    Tomorrow I have my church retreat.

    Sunday morning I'm running a half marathon, then going to DH's godmothers house to check it out since they are selling and want us to consider buying it, then going to my nephews 5th birthday party.

    I really wish this weekend was a bit more low key because I'm exhausted.

  • I'm so glad it's Friday,  I need a break. My weekend plans include sleep.

    Apparenlty DH is flying out Sunday night for work and won't be back until Wednesday. They forgot to tell him Huh?

  • Neptoon, IVF is where the eggs are actually fertilized in the lab and then placed in the uterus, whereas IUI is just putting the sperm in the uterus at the right time in the cycle.  Sometimes IUI also involves hormones to increase a woman's egg production.  (Did I explain that right fertility experts?)

     Reba, I'm sorry this month was a no-go again :-(  I didn't realize you guys did not want to try IVF.  Is it an insurance issue, or something else (if you don't mind me asking.)  I hope your doc is open to allowing you guys to go for the max rounds of IUI possible. 

  • Morning (well, really afternoon). It was a super busy day at school....but next week is Spring Break! Bring on 9 days of relaxing, seeing friends and drinking!

    Tonight DH & I are starting to work on the 3 season room, soon to be his bar room. Painting, staining, fun fun fun.

    Tomorrow night we are meeting up with friends we haven't seen since the fall. 

    Sunday is supposed to be nice, so hopefully we can get started on some yard work.

    Have a great weekend ladies!
