Five Things Friday
1. They turned the AC on at work and I'm in my office freezing. Part of me wants to turn my space heater back on so I can warm up.
2. Yesterday I thought I had locked my keys in my car. I was leaving work and tore my purse apart looking for them. I was upset because we had planned on doing some errands after work and now I was going to screw it all up by having Jason bring me the spare keys when he got home. Turns out one of the guys in the yard had them because he had put material in my car for a branch transfer and I had forgotten. Thankfully he left the keys at work so I could go home.
3. We have a birthday party for a friend tonight and I have a feeling I'm going to want to leave early so I can go home & sleep. Sleep is precious these days and I'm going to be jam packed this weekend.
4. I'm thrilled my parrot tulips are starting to open! I've been most excited about these since we planted them last year.
5. Last night was too hot for us - we went from cold to way too hot & humid too fast. I was more concerned about Dayne since we don't have central air - we ended up putting a fan in the room and making sure he was cool.
Re: Five Things Friday
1. All I can think about is Ritzy. Where is that ho bag with the results of that u/s???
2. Cam just pooped on me. It landed in the crotchall area so it looked like I poo'd myself. I swear, it was him.
3. It's hot as ballz outside.
4. I don't mind. I love the hot, just not when I have to do errands. Only when I can sit outside and enjoy it.
5. Is it appropriate to start drinking for the day? I want a margarita. And I am about to feed Cam, so having one after he is done is perfect timing.
My Happy House
1. I took an induction heat treating class this morning and I loved every minute of it. It was a great refresher on basic steel metallurgy plus the added complexity. Just what I needed to get back into gear!
2. After training I got to have lunch with Lilnephie
It was great to FINALLY meet her, even though we talk all the time!
3. Ritzy, are you here??? What's the news?!
4. I came back to my house to work from home and there was a *** storm in my email inbox. I am not happy.
5. DH comes home tomorrow!

She just called me. She'll be home in a few to share with everyone
1. I took the day of, mostly because of my crazy allergies, but partially because it's absolutely beautiful outside and I knew no one would actually be in the office today (ie, no one would care).
2. As soon as DH found out I was staying home, he started asking me to do all of these favors for him. Mostly things that are on his to do list, that he has been putting off for way too long. It kind of annoys me, because I wanted the day to myself. But I'm going to do them anyway, because I feel like I'm stocking up brownie points :-)
3. The "t" button on my home computer is sticky and it doesn't always type. It really annoys me.
4. I have been eating really healthy lately and I feel great about it. But I'm totally craving a huge cheeseburger and I don't know if I'm going to be able to convince myself not to do it.... I need to stay strong!
5. I am 95% sure that I'm going to be able to convince DH to take me to go see Bridesmaids tonight!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
Yes it's appropriate. :-)
1. I am leaving work in less than 30 minutes!
2. I have done about 2 hours of work total today.
3. My apartment still is not unpacked or clean and I am starting to feel gross. I need to find motivation.
4. I want a drink now that Molly mentioned it.
5. I have Monday off. Hell yeah.
Fire it up, Let's go get this thing stuck
1. I am working on my back porch right now and have done so pretty much the entire week. I only have to go inside when my phone rings so that people don't hear the birds chirping. And I freaking love it.
ETA: "Working" as in getting paid by a company as an employee. Not working like working on the back porch with a hammer and nails or paint brush. Thought I should clarify.
2. My nails are painted light blue and I am wondering if I should change them for DH's "black tie optional" event tomorrow night. I really don't want to since I just painted them last night. I should have thought ahead, ugh.
3. I really want to have a margarita with Molly right now.
4. Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy is on my Pandora right now and it reminds me of Nashville with Molly and Carl. And when Molly got yelled at for dancing on a bar stool. Yes, that happened.
5. I'm going to the driving range with DH when he gets home but I am more excited to get tan than to actually hit golf balls...
?? Baby P: Born 05.23.12 ??
?? Established 05.24.08 ??
?? Trash the Dress Photos ??
1. I want to cut out of work early to run some errands and pick up DD from daycare, so she's not the last baby there like always.
2. I have been back at work for two weeks and I'm wondering how long I can milk the excuse that I've been gone for 4 months and forgot everything
3. I'm pretty sure #2 is not going to last much longer.
4. I like 5 Things Friday better than 10 Things Tuesday.
5. I want a margarita too!
1. A realtor called and wanted to show her client our house today around 1pm. I successfully cleaned and organized everything...by myself...while the babies were napping. I also got them (and the dog) in the car in less than 3 minutes. I'm good.
2. I'm in my brother's wedding next weekend but still need to get my dress pressed. Hopefully next week.
3. I don't 'get' the thumb post.
4. I just ate a sandwich from Tim Horton's for the first time in my entire life.
5. I also like Five things Friday better than Ten things Tuesday (because I have trouble thinking of 10 things).
My baby has light hair, blue eyes and dimples. I tell people all the time, "I don't know who this baby belongs to, but he's cute so I'm keeping him!" Carl has dark hair and hazel eyes and I have dark hair and brown eyes. I realize his hair will change, but the eyes, so far, look to be solid blue. And wheretf did this super light skin come from anyway?
I love that two of yours are about me
MARGARITAS AT MY PLACE! But I'm not getting dressed. I'm wearing H's boxers and white t-shirt. Deal with it.
My Happy House
1. DH just called & I guess we are going to the race track tonight with a few other couples, should be fun. last time they all went i was out of town.
2. My sunburn/tan from FL is turning into a pretty nice golden tan, it's awesome
3. I just heard the "tootsie roll' on my pandora station.... ahh memories
4. I LOVE this OPI nail polish that I have on. it's lasted all week & is just now starting to chip. that's a record for me (i type all day)
5. 1 hour & 36 minutes and i get to go home. yay!

Everything Wedding ♥ Persnickety Plates
1. I can't wait for this work day to be over!
2. The stress of having 2 homes and a toddler w/ a baby on the way is really getting to me!
3. I am so hot, but my boss won't turn on the A/C! ARGH!
4. I'm still drooling over a super expensive double stroller DH won't let me buy
5. I am also debating using a Moby/baby carrier/wrap with the new baby. We'll see.
1. I am so glad it is Friday. The days are numbered for work and I cannot wait!!!
2. However, I am getting annoyed because the contracter covering my leave hasn't been fully approved in the system and I am getting impatient to get her on board.
3. I am probably a little to excited to get our carpets and couch cleaned tomorrow. I love a clean house.
4. Now that it is nice enough to have open windows and the doorwall, I am irrationally worried one of the cats is going to get out of the doorwall and go missing. I lock the screen all the time for that reason.
5. I am really hoping the Thundershirt works on Olive.
1. The air conditioning is on in our building and I do have my heater running.
2. We passed our house inspection with only one little thing that we have to do.
3. We got the results of our sequential screen today. It came back negative!! (1 in 2,500 chance.) Here's hoping it's right!
4. I'm SO READY to go home. I've even had a hard time procrastinating today. I just don't want to be sitting here.
5. I often start typing the list for Ten Things Tuesday but then I give up around #4. Five things are MUCH easier than ten!
1. I am so tired today, I keep walking diagonally instead of straight.
2. My afternoon experiment took way less time than I thought it would, and now am trying to fill the rest of the afternoon with paperwork.
3. I'm nesting instead of doing said paperwork.
4. My co-worker had a plate of cookies earlier and I was so looking forward to one, but by the time I got there they were all gone.
5. Something near my desk smells like pina colada.
