why do i have so much work to do today? i just need to sleep. and then run 7 miles. and poop.

Re: thursday
Wow...8:30 and I'm already showered, ate breakfast and halfway through my coffee. Hasn't happened in months. (cinnabon coffee creamer is the bestest invention. ever.)
Got bedroom about halfway housecleaned last night (too many boxes from moving...it was awful). Will finish tomorrow or this weekend. At least we can see floor and get to closet now.
Much to do today...tenants signed lease yesterday, so I have to pick that up, plus apply for a business license & residential rental papers with the municipality. I'm convinced the business license is just a ploy to get more money out of people, but c'est la vie. Must hit the bank and post office, and need to pick up a monitor for Baby Q, dog food and a new toilet seat. That is a really random list.
....off to read Shauni's blog...
I will check Granny's blog toot sweet.
I cut my thumb slicing veggies last night and it hurts like whoa. Balls.
I am already sweating and it's barely 9 am. I need to hydrate today, I did not drink enough water yesterday.
MFD hit the high seas an hour ago. I hope he catches some fish!
Today's exercise is either my sculpting class at 12:45 or my walk with weights tonight.
I'm so glad the alarm is not yet connected to the police station. I set it off twice last night and geege set it off once. I can't figure out how to get it to bypass the motion in the living room. Oy.
I kicked chores' buttocks last night: walked and did weights, changed linens on master and one spare bed, washed master quilt, did two other loads of laundry, made an awesome dinner, packed food for today and tomorrow, wiped down the kitchen, vacuumed the living room and dining room, dusted/vacuumed/mopped the top floor and purged a bag of stuff, tended to my flowers and watched Salt.
Susie Q please tell me more about cinnabon coffee creamer in detail. Cinnabon like the brand that also sells Cinnabons in malls? Or cinnabon coffee creamer from coffee mate?
I am so happy you got tenants in there! That's a load off! And yes, a business license is a total ploy to get more money from you. The residential rental papers should suffice. Ahole government.
Baby monitor, dog food, toilet seat. Major random.
Shauni - blog is too funny. Sorry for your lack of sleep. I am getting used to our window a/c and on nights when we don't use it the damn birds piss me off to no end.
StephM - Coffeemate (int'l delights?) cinnabon flavor coffee creamer. Sadly no lowfat version, but I
it just the same. I have Salt in my Netflix queue...how was it?
Oh Shauni- I'm sorry for your crazy night last night,
I had trivia last night, our team did better than last week so that was an improvement. Either way it's a good time with friends which is how we look at it. Even though we do take it very seriously, I have gotten into it with people who are on their cell phones (which is againest the rules)
Today is the first day I actually felt rested when I woke up this morning in a long time. I was very excited. I'm sure that won't last to long.
lol. Shauni, are you SURE you're not pregnant? Fatigue is a major preggers symptom. I kid.
Nothing to report here. No news is good news!

HELLO!!!
Today has been good so far. Rocked out to Foo Fighters on my way to work and that always makes me happy.
Last night, I went and got KFC. Was soooooo excited about it. Got in the house and there were ANTS everywhere in our kitchen/diningroom!!!! Had to clean before eating.
Not having any raid, I sprayed those B****es with Windex and it worked. Killed them all! Followed their trail from the counter, to the floor, to the path leading to the backdoor.
This led to me cleaning the kitchen, then sweeping and cleaning the floors. Meanwhile, before I started the "death by Windex" massacre, I left the dog out. He proceeded to rush to the far end of the yard, reach half his body under the chain link fence, grabbing a rabbit on the other side and killing it. I was horrified. Some of the worst sounds I've ever heard. I felt so bad. Timber knew he did something wrong so he dropped the rabbit and crouched down.
He was grounded in his kennel for a while after that. Little jerk.
However, my KFC was magical when I did get to eat it and it was well worth the wait.
New Pop Evil cd in my car = happy Jessie.
I got my babies last night = happy Jessie. (They are still nameless oops).
Shauni I will make sure to read Granny.
Ummm that is all I believe. Im kinda having a rough day.
Salt was not bad. I'm glad I recorded it and watched it for free in my home, but nonetheless not bad.
Damnit. I wish all of the creamers came in the fat free option.
Are you ok Jessie? Sorry about the rough day. Hurrah for kitties though! Also, I have never heard of Pop Evil.
moleson - I stopped and got my popeye's too. Was soo good.
Jessie - do you mean your kitties?

Yes kitties :-)
I've had a rough last couple of weeks. Alot going on and alot of I don't really need the stress from. I really just need a mommy hug.
Please check out Pop Evil! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySriyQaQi_g Their new album just came out Tuesday.
Haha it looks like a lot of us cheated last night!
Got home from work and decided it was just too hot to turn on the oven or cook. H and I ended up ordering from Dominos, which hit the spot for some reason. Then I did three loads of laundry and packed to go to Cape Cod this weekend!
Today I'm leaving right from work to drive to my family's Cape house for a weekend of laying on the beach, going out on the boat, and eating yummy seafood. I cannot believe I haven't been down there since H's and my wedding almost a year ago!!!!!!!!!!!! Sad because H could not get the day off tomorrow with me, so he won't be joining us. I hate being away from him for a weekend since I feel like we don't get to spend alot of time together during the week, but he'll actually like having the house to himself for awhile. So excited, and hoping the traffic heading down there will be ok on a Thursday night.
shauni, sorry for your lack of power.
steph, I feel so lazy next to your accomplished list.
can't remember whose dog killed the rabbit.... yeesh. I am glad my doggies basically just chase them out of the yard.
that's about all for me today, hopefully I'll feel like steph and be as accomplished at the end of the day. Gotta go meet the hubby!
Citygirl- have fun! I love the Cape. We use to camp there a couple times a summer the entire time I was growing up.
In fact I actually had my first im public break down last week because of the cape. Friends of ours went camping at the same place I use to go. While looking at her FB pictures I just started getting very teary eyed, while I was at work, thinking of all the great times I spent there. I was in the kitchen on my break getting teary eyed trying really hard not to cry because I knew all the women who were sitting in the break room would ask me what was wrong. Well I started bawling. Thankfully I work will women and they all totally understood. One of them even startred to cry with me.. lol..
Morning! Last night I did three loads of laundry. It was so flipping hot that I waited until 7pm to start because I didn't want the dryer running during the heat. The past couple of days have been so hot so I've been miserable. I hate the heat. It makes me so cranky and b!tchy. We reserved a spot for camping at the end of the month. It's the same weekend as our Garlic Festival which means the city will be packed with tourists and traffic jams.
Tonight I'll hit the gym. Hope to lose 20 lbs before our trip to Hawaii (yeah, good luck with that Debbie). We might get pizza for dinner and use our free pizza coupon. That's about it.
Hey ladies! I'm finally back from PA, and survived H's grandma. Luckily we left them on Sunday and just went to the ILs, and they are great and we have lots of fun with them.
We purchased lots of Pittsburgh sports-related baby gear, including both a football and hockey jersey for Predator.
Got home at midnight local time last night, so I'm kind of a zombie today. I'd hoped to get in to work early so I could leave extra early, but our contractor was showing up at 8 to start flooring and we had to clean up the mess our dog made the day before we left by tearing up a fuzzy toy. Oh joy! Awesome news is we should have most of the floor in tonight. Wahoo!
Aaaand, drumroll please, we have our anatomy scan tomorrow morning at 8, so we should know what we're having.
Oh Mush I was thinking about you today. I thought your scan was this week. I can't wait to hear!
and a big boo with the pittsburgh football baby gear.
