Re: Good Morning!
Morning!
We had our rummage sale this weekend and I think I might be a little frostbitten. It was so cold, windy and rainy but I still sold a ton of stuff (but not even close to everything!) and made quite a bit of money, so I was happy with it

Good!!
We told our families about the baby - everyone was so excited! Especially MIL because now she's "getting 2 grandbabies in 1 year!" lol
I'm planning to tell work tomorrow.
We got a lot of demo done on our kitchen. That was fun
I'll be blogging about it later.

It was a busy weekend!
Friday was low-key. Doug and the boys finished up the yard work they were doing all week - so, we sat around a fire pit drinking Dos Equis.
Saturday Doug took me out for breakfast then we went to the Chowder Cup hockey tournament and back to a friends apartment to watch the Bruins game.
Sunday we did the Boston Walk for Epilepsy - raised over $1,500!!! and then we had my family over to celebrate my sister's birthday.
This weekend included a lot of booze. Last week was a f'ing disaster with a friend's bridal party/family getting totally out of control. They booked a shower venue that we were fine with and we just found out yesterday they sent out 90 invitations...which brings the shower venue to $1700. And then they told us "no problem, we'll just send you guys a bill afterwards." Um. Seriously? No. The fighting went on all week.
So Friday I got a mani/ped to relax and then we went to go see Donald Glover, which was kind of cool. He was better than I expected.
Saturday we got a bunch of errands out of the way and then went to our friends house for margaritas and apps. Very fun, very needed.
Sunday I went down to Providence and went to Drag Brunch with my mom and my sister. Terrible food, great drag queens. Got home, was totally exhausted but one of Jon's friends was in town for a conference, so we went out to dinner with him.
Weekend was great! It started off with my manager asking for me to come by his office before I leave so he could give me a corporate award with a sizeable financial prize attached.
We cleaned out the garage so it fits the MDX a lot better!
The weather was crappy and we didn't go to the zoo like we wanted but it was a great weekend.
Congratulations, that's awesome! Any chance of this helping your promotion?

We had a doctors appointment on Friday. Turns out I'm strangely unneedy for a pregnant woman. They asked if I was having any problems or anything and I said no. I've been feeling really good. They thought it was rare, but good. I lost two pounds since my last appointment, which I'm ok with. We sat and listened to the heartbeat for a minute which was wonderful. I'm so excited for our 20 week appointment. Still have 6 weeks to go. I don't feel like I'm showing, but my organs and my chub are being pushed out to make room for the lil'guy and there's no hope of keeping it sucked in anymore so I've embraced it.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
I hope so but who knows? I think they look at our annual assessments which have always turned out average for me so I don't know if this will help or not.
About 50/50.
Friday was great except for the fact that our sewer line was backing up and my dad and I worked on it for 2 hours up to our toes in poo-water....and now it's backing up AGAIN!! Grrrrrrr...... And it's only the pipe from our toilet/tub/sink/dishwasher. The line it connects into isn't clogged and we can't figure out what it clogging it. I'm currently waiting for the Liquid Plumber to activate so I can flush it. Once that happens, I have to call my dad again to let him know if he has to come back with the snake or not.
Danny was a grouch on Saturday, but by mid-afternoon, he was better and we went grocery shopping. The we put some steak and baked potatoes on the grill with some corn on the cob. So that was great.
I felt like a complete and total slug yesterday. I think I spent from 2pm-10pm just laying on the couch, only getting up for food and toileting needs. And I still feel exhausted today. I'm ready for summer vacation.
