Re: Bored Wednesday Poll

  • What's for lunch today? A wrap made with garlic hummus, turkey, provolone, spinach, red bell pepper and cucumber, pop chips and peaches

    What are you most looking forward to this week? My cake class was last night, so I got nothin'.  It ending? 

    Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? Yep, there's one that comes around a couple of times a week. 

    Any Whiny Wednesday rants? DH ate the last of "my" ('cause they aren't really mine, but he never eats them!) granola bars, my go-to breakfast.  So I had to throw a stupid eggo minis into the toaster, slap some PB on it and call it a day.  It was more points than I wanted to spend on breakfast and it didn't fill me up At.All.  I've been starving all morning.

    If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? New Orleans

    • What's for lunch today?  Probably a salad and fruit.  I haven't decided yet.  
    • What are you most looking forward to this week?  Nothing in particular.  This weekend should be pretty low-key and that's a huge change for us.  It's good to relax every now and then.
    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood?  Every now and then.  He comes at a bad time ~ 6ish.  I bet he'd have a lot more business if he came around 4ish or 7ish.  6 is too close to dinner and no one is outside!
    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants?  I feel like I'm stuck in a funk lately.  There are so many things I need and want to do, but I'm not finding the motivation to get everything done.  Pinterest is not helping either.  Too many good ideas for crafts, foods, etc.   
    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go?  Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea.  I'll be gone for a month!  :-)

  • What's for lunch today?Salad with some of last night's steak on top, pretzels, half a grapefruit and a piece of chocolate

    What are you most looking forward to this week? A birthday for two of my BFs on Saturday

    Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? Anyone from Fell's/Canton knows what I mean when I say "Hellllooooo!" Seriously though, I'm convinced it sells more than ice cream when it's out past 10pm!

    Any Whiny Wednesday rants? Our families need to stfu about "when will we have a baby, are we trying, are we not trying, are we not NOT trying, aren't we waiting until after we move, after grad school, after vacation, am I taking vitamins?" You would think we are torturing them.

    If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? I would just go to Ocean City because it's a short drive, I wouldn't have to pack much and my cousin lives there and I didn't get to see her last time I was there.

    • What's for lunch today? Salad with spinach leaves, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, craisins, goat cheese, and slivered almonds. Also an apple and some almonds.
    • What are you most looking forward to this week? Thursday! My best friends sister is Ed Reed's assistant and we're going to some fundraiser event that he's hosting and having dinner with the Ravens players. It's black tie and I love getting dressed up :)
    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? Yes
    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants? Just work related on how I hate people. I'm holding a little lab mix puppy in my lap that was thrown from a car last night and the guy who found him just brought him in. Why oh why would anyone throw this fluff ball of cuteness out of a car on a busy road (Essex Rd).

      Also, my SIL got engaged. For the older Nesties I think you can only imagine the circus my MIL is already putting on over this. She said she couldn't show me how to sew these dog vests because she's "just too overwhelmed with this wedding planning!". Um, the wedding is in a year! Really? She is pretty much planning the entire thing herself, as if it was her own wedding. When I asked why she said since SIL is a teacher she just doesn't have time. I'm fairly certain other teachers have planned their own weddings before...

    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? Tahiti, can't that be last minute? Money would have to be no object to swing that though, it's definitely not in the budget!

  • What's for lunch today?  Leftover stir fry and rice with strawberries.
    What are you most looking forward to this week?  Being a few days closer to finishing.
    Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood?   No.
    Any Whiny Wednesday rants?  I want a vacation, see the next comment.
    If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go?  I was looking at Turks and Caicos deals yesterday and I really want a vacation.  I know that whenever I start a new job I probably won't have much time off in the beginning so I really want to take one before then.  The problem is that it wouldn't be responsible to take a vacation until I get a job so for right now it's just a dream.

    • What's for lunch today? Leftover sweet sausage tortellini with vodka sauce and brussels sprouts
    • What are you most looking forward to this week? Making a great dinner for my Mom's birthday.
    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? Nope. Sad
    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants? I had a crappy dream this morning and then when I woke up I was convinced it was Saturday and I could go back to sleep. Then I realized it was only Wednesday. While loading my dog into the car to go to the park I spilled coffee all over the inside of my car and then someone in my own neighborhood cut me off without even looking and I spilled more coffee. Someone else cut me off again on my commute to work and almost caused another accident. I feel like I should have stayed home today.
    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? Somewhere cooler - maybe Vancouver.
  • What's for lunch today? I don't know....I had a dr appt this morning so I didnt grab my lunch when i left the house. maybe subway.
    What are you most looking forward to this week? Sean's b-day is this weekend. Can't believe I will have a 2 year old!
    Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? yes, a regular one and a soft-serve one
    Any Whiny Wednesday rants? not really!
    If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? I wouldn't go far since I am pregnant and not really up for trekking around too much, but a nice relaxing trip to the beach for a few days would be wonderful.

    • What's for lunch today? I brought hummus, cucumbers to dip, cottage cheese and a peach.
    • What are you most looking forward to this week? Our friends are getting married on Saturday.
    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? Sometimes.
    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants? My poor neighbor and hubby have been on the phone all morning w/animal control, the police, and the HOA. My neighbors dogs have been barking for 3 hours straight. These are the same white trash neighbors who hate that we sprinkler our yard, who leave trash all over the back of MY Fence, who yell at all hours of the night. I really want to move, but that's not in the cards. I've asked if the animal control could take the dogs, the kids and WT woman too.
    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? A beach far far away...

    • What's for lunch today? - No idea... whatever strikes my mood when I wander into the kitchen! :)

    • What are you most looking forward to this week? - Sunday is DH's call sermon for the new church (where he'll preach/preside over the service, and then the congregation will vote on whether they want to call him as pastor)... I'm incredibly nervous about it b/c there's so much riding on this, but I'm also sooooo excited to move forward w/ things (see, I do have faith in him!).

    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? - Nope.  And yes, this is very, very sad.

    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants? - Various family members are trying to shove their opinions on DH and I about house-related things (paint, what to do w/ the dogs going out, etc.).  We've spent the past four years bouncing from one rented house to the next b/c that's how seminary life is (moving yearly within housing on the seminary campus is not out of the ordinary for seminarians/their families), and b/c they were all rented, we couldn't do a darn thing to any of them.  I've been doing my best to bite my tongue and not say anything, but come on - LET US DECIDE WHAT TO DO W/ OUR HOME!!!  It was driving me absolutely batty yesterday, even though I know everyone is just trying to be helpful.  Sigh.

    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? - Somewhere tropical.

  • What's for lunch today? I had a late breakfast, so nothing What are you most looking forward to this week? Seeing Harry Potter. H was supposed to take me this morning, but has instead decided to catch up on his sleep Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? We don't live in a neighborhood, so no :(
    Any Whiny Wednesday rants? Just that H has decided to sleep all day instead of take me to see HP like he said he would. We have very little time to spend together, and him sleeping all day is really not something that amuses me. Especially bc this month has been nuts and I have barely seen him. He is still sleeping. It's 11:45. WTF? If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? Where is it NOT 100*???

    • What's for lunch today? leftovers

    What are you most looking forward to this week?  Having the day off on Friday.

    Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood?  Nope.

    Any Whiny Wednesday rants?  H has had sinus issues for years, has tried everything including surgery with no relief, and now it seems to be impacting one of his ears.  He's home sick today and so dizzy/nauseous that he can't drive, so I probably need to leave early to take him to the dr.  My rant is that I wish that someone would figure out what the f*cking problem is and fix it- I'm not even the one who is sick and it's driving me crazy!!!  I can't imagine how frustrating it is for him.

    If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go?  St. John

    • What's for lunch today? mac & cheese

    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? yes
    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants? I am dreading going back to work. Not so much because I don't want to leave DS but I was hoping to feel refreshed and ready to go back to work and I don't. It's time for a change.
    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? My sister just got back from her honeymoon and it's made me nostalgic for mine. I'd love to go to an AI resort with DH and relax. Or I'd love to go to the beach with DH and DS.

    IDK - I have to go get something very soon - I'm starving

    short work week!  And, if we do enough work in our kitchen, we'll go to the water park in Chesapeake Beach

    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood?

    no

     San Fran/Napa Valley

    • What's for lunch today? yogurt, a waffle, and a bunch of fruit
    • What are you most looking forward to this week? hanging out with my husband on Saturday, before his mom comes to visit
    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood? We have Miss Twist, who is the stuff of legends. She has soft-serve. Her route is quite large. She gets to my house late, between 9:30 and 10:30, which is my perfect time for ice cream. I get a small vanilla with hot fudge, at least twice a week.
    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants? My closest friend has been away for two weeks. Today she left again, because of one of her sons was injured on vacation, and stayed at his grandmother's with his brother until he could travel, so she is headed back to get them, but won't be home til Monday. I am worried for them, but I am sad for me. I miss her, and am lonely. It will be even worse when she goes back to work in the fall.
    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go? Back to Barcelona or someplace I have never been

    • Do you have an ice cream truck come to your neighborhood?  Yes, but it's sketchy.
    • Any Whiny Wednesday rants?  I had a dentist appointment at 8.  The hygienist finished my cleaning by 8:40 and I just had to see the dentist to finish my visit.  Umm, she didn't show up until 9:15.  My dentist is 5 minutes from work and I didn't notify anyone I would be late because I thought I would be there by 9.  Thanks for screwing up my day lady!
    • If you could go on a last minute vacation tomorrow, where would you go?  The beach definitely!  We went for a week in June and although the heat is unbearable, I want to squeeze in a bit more beach time before Fall comes.
