Morning, good it is.

I'm channeling Yoda today.

How is everyone today?  I feel like I could use another 3 hours of sleep.  Blah.  Last night I mowed and raked/dethatched the lawn.  It really needed it.  Tonight I think I'll try and overseed.  Oh the joys of being a homeowner, the work NEVER stops.

In more fun news, I'm getting my haircut tonight.  I have no idea what I want, so I'll have to browse some pictures.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I don't think I want bangs (other than my normal swoopy to the side ones) because Derek is just not a fan.

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

Re: Morning, good it is.

  • I'm with you on the sleep.  So hard to get up this morning, and I forced myself out for a run which was so horrible.  But at least I feel like I was productive.

    My H was not a fan of bangs either, and I've been phasing them out.  Funny how men are about hair.  Definitely show pics after your cut tonight!

  • Good morning!

    I got to work early this morning so it is going to be a long day. Eli starts nights again tonight for the weekend. I hate cleaning when he works nights because he is asleep during the day I feel like I don't get as much done. I am planning to do all my cleaning tonight and get in a work out.

  • Morning Ladies.

    Raynes, I like the side swoopy (How I describe them) type bangs.  Your hair appears to have some body. My motto with hair is layers, lots of layers.  (of course this is coming from someone who hasn't had her haircut in almost a year, and hair 3/4 of the way down her back), but I am sure whatever you choose it will look fabulous!

    Lets see, lastnight was a semi score for sleep. Zach only woke up once, and he didn't want a bottle, then slept until almost 6.  Knock on wood that this continues.

    Today I am anxiously awaiting to hear how my sisters surgery goes.  She is having several cysts removed from both breasts (this is her 7th surgery since HS for this, she is currently 40).  One of them is rather large and grew a lot over the past month so it will be tested.

    Otherwise, I'm hoping DH will watch the boys tonight so I can go to Zumba.

  • I had a productive night last night. I got in a good workout. Then I cleaned the kitchen, which included emptying out and completely cleaning the fridge. This is one of the tasks that I dread the most, so I'm glad to have it behind me (for a while anyway). Then Kyle and I watched a movie.

    We're still waiting to hear back on the job that Kyle interviewed for last week. They told him that they would let him know by early this week, but with a holiday on Monday throwing off the schedule, I'm just hoping that he hears something before the end of the week.

  • Today is actually the only day this week that I am going to be in the office for a full day.  It's making the week go by very fast, but putting a hurting on my leave balance. 

    We had a new mattress & box spring delivered yesterday for the guest room.  We got the super cheap Memorial Day sale one because its only going to get used may ten nights a year, if that.  However, it is really firm so I think I will get a foam topper or something for it.  Even so, it's nice to have replaced the super broken down mattress that I swear Jim had since he graduated from college.  It was horrible.

    Tomorrow morning is our IUI, so I will take all kinds of vibes, juju, T&Ps and whatever else you have that this is our time.

  • reba, sending tons of vibes and juju your way. :)

    Morning, all! Another day in limbo for me as I wait for my offer letter. This has been the most frustrating experience ever, but I'm still excited about what's coming soon. Today I have a project that will keep me distracted most of the day, so that's good.

    Last night was low key, called my mom to wish her a happy birthday, had an early dinner, then relaxed for the evening. Tonight's a gym night--I'm counting on H to push me out the door because something tells me I won't want to go.

  • Good morning.

    Last night was fun. I went to the park with Dh, BIL and his gf. Dh bought these little remote control airplanes to fly in the park. It's been fun to watch. Now he wants me to learn. I was doing alright until I crashed it into a tree. Eeep. I couldn't climb the tree because I was in a skirt and Dh was to big. Luckily a girl came and helped us. I felt so bad. I thought I broke it but I didn't. I then put myself on a blanket and just read and watched.

  • Reba-lots of vibes and juju your way. 

    Good Morning!

    Another typical day at work for me and then we are getting together with some friends for trivia night.

    Last night, we had dinner with SIL, BIL and nieces, watched a little bit of the hockey game and played some cards. I am so tired this week. I think I am still in Mexico relax mode.

    Have a great day ladies!

  • Good morning ladies.  I'm super exhausted today.  I don't generally sleep well when B goes OOT, and last night the wind kept waking me up.  I finally turned the tv on to try to distract myself and was able to fall back asleep for a few hours.

    Reba, lots of vibes headed your way.

     Kat, good luck to your sister.  Keep us posted.

    Abarber, I hear you about the deep clean of the fridge.  It is definitely my LEAST favorite household chore.

    Today should be the usual.  Lots of work to do, but I'm hoping that I can take the night off and just relax.

    Have a good day everyone!

  • We are in full disaster mode in western Mass, so it's been an interesting night and morning. I'm not sure how our college is still open, even though almost every route to it is blocked. I figured I might as well come into work, since it's easier than sitting at home and waiting for phone calls from the vet's office. Should be a long day. Just hoping for good news and still counting my blessings that our house is intact. Most people were not so lucky yesterday.

    Not much going on today other than choir practice tonight. After this week I think we'll be done with choir for a while. Hooray!

  • Reba - Good luck! I'll be thinking of you!

    Kat - Hope everything goes will with your sister's surgery!

    Last night I went for a long walk around our neighborhood which felt great! But when I got home I noticed that Bailey had thrown up in the kitchen (which is completely normal - she throws up almost everyday) but this time her barf was swarmed by little ants! Ugh! I have not idea how they are getting in the house but they were all over my kitchen floor!

    I cleaned everything up which got rid of most the ants but I still saw a few this morning. Anyone have any ideas how to get rid of them? 

    Tonight I'm meeting some friends at the Rio for margaritas! Woot woot!

  • Morning Ladies,

    I went to the doctor this morning. I no longer have a balloon in my ute and it's wonderful.  Also I had breakfast with my dad and husband at this new place and it was fantastic! We're going to sit on the porch and drink most of the day because it's nice outside and I haven't been able to leave the couch for a week. 

    kat: Thinking of your sister!

  • Kat- Hope everything goes well with your sister.

    Reba-VIBES, thoughts, prayers, crossed fingers and toes....all coming your way!

    Last night was good.  We grilled and then watched part 1 of Harry Potter 7...we just finished going through all the movies and I can't wait until the next one comes out in July.

    Today was decent.  I'm exhausted and Ed is coming home late, so I will probably just make an early dinner and go to bed early.

  • Today was a mix of good and bad...

    Good - got in a good 10km run before working at 8am

    Bad - my laptop won't turn on

    Good - found out we have an offer coming in on the house tonight

    Bad - DH might be getting surplussed next year

    Good - my Grandma gave me a pudding cup!

    Bad - I have an extended warranty on my laptop, tried to take it in to The Source and they only ship them out on Tuesdays.  So I'll be laptopless for several weeks.  However, I do get to use DHs old laptop

    Just waiting for our realtor and their realtor to come over with the offer.  Keeping our fingers crossed that it's not a lowball and the closing dates work out.
