Five Things Friday
1. I think it's really funny how relative the temp. has become to me. I just looked at the weather report for today, saw that it's only supposed to hit about 91 degrees, and thought "Thank God".
2. I've been craving pizza for the last week or so, so on Wednesday night I went to my favorite local pizza place about 15 minutes away and got pizza.
3. I ate two pieces on the drive home. I'm pretty sure I was getting some strange looks from people driving next to me, but I didn't care. Mama was HUNGRY.
4. 70 days from today, I will most likely be in recovery holding my new baby. 
5. I hate how a strange dream the night before can put you in a bit of a funk for the day.

Re: Five Things Friday
1. DH and I currently have our cell phones through fil/smil's business (which dh works for). They have forgotten to pay my bill for the third time in less than a year and my phone is now disconnected. I'm not happy.
2. We canceled comcast yesterday and are having wow come out today to hook us up. We are paying about $30 less per month, but no hbo/showtime. They promised us that the price would not change before 2013, which in itself is enough reason to change.
3. Because we didn't have cable this morning, I didn't get to watch the news while getting ready for work. I feel weird because my routine is all out of whack.
4. I really hope that it doesn't rain too bad tomorrow so that we can go out on the lake. If we don't get to do this tomorrow, we might not get a chance this whole summer.
5. As of tomorrow, I have 3 months till my due date!
1. DD has her first cold and is super snotty. I bought a Nosefrida yesterday and it worked pretty well. Though it's difficult to get DD to stay still to use it.
2. DH and I are going to see Harry Potter tomorrow at the imax!
3. I got my Starbucks coffee for free this morning. I ordered it iced and when I got to the window it was hot, so they remade it and didn't charge me. I love their customer service.
4. I love the flexibility of my job, especially when DD is sick and I had to stay home with her a fair amount this week.
5. I love cheese curds
First colds are the worst! I hope she starts to feel better...
1. I'm hungry for lunch already.
2. I had a dream last night that someone was trying to show me how to french bustle a wedding dress & I wasn't getting it. I might be the only one standing up for my friend. The pressure! haha!
3. I wore two layered tank tops to work yesterday for the first time (I am the only female who never has here in the summer - no one sees us). My boss commented that he had never seen my shoulders before and it was kinda sexy. Seriously. This is why I never wore them before. He is so weird.
4. I also heard my boss tell someone that he can't lose weight because of a thyroid problem. LOL! Or it's the gigantic bakery bagels he eats almost every day. And the ice cream and and and.
5. Our lawn needs to be mowed but it's too hot.
1. Today is our work picnic and jeans days for a charity and I am helping collect money and people ARE CHEAP.
2. The higher up on the food chain the cheaper they are.
3. I am annoyed because it's my charity today.
4. 5pm can not get here fast enough
5. Maybe I should have stayed home today!
1. I made 4 amazing carrot cakes for my sisters wedding shower yesterday, her shower is tomorrow.
2. We lost power for 3 days this week from that storm on monday, I had to throw away a lot of stuff in my fridge. I didn't care tho it was a good excuse to clean it out
3. We have a client that had his home on the market, he went outside to smoke his cigarette, flung it when he was done with it and caught his entire deck on fire...he is lucky he didn't set his entire home on fire! Hello it's a little desert like outside, don't throw your cigarettes out the window or in your yard!
4. I only have 3 pair of maternity pants to wear now and they all have the full panels on them! They are sooooo hot when your outside with them on!
5. My best-friend is pregnant and due a day after me and I worry she doesn't eat because she has had eating problems since HS and every time i am with her she won't eat and makes up an excuse, worries me!!
1. I am so glad that it's Friday. This week took FOREVER!
2. I have so much that I want to get done this weekend that I know I'm setting myself up for failure. Yet I haven't taken anything off of the list.
3. I'm also hoping to rest/relax a little this weekend. DH and I have been running ragged.
4. Today is third trimester. This is crazy. We're going to have a baby in 3 months.
5. DH and I may have panicked about #4 a little bit this week. Eeek!
1. MILs birthday was Wednesday and we invited MIL & FIL over for dinner last night. THEN they scheduled a whole family shin-dig for tonight, but that did not get us out of our plans last night.
2. The guy is STILL working on our kitchen install. I thought it was only going to take a day... Even though I've been working remotely, I really hope he finishes soon because I need to get into the office for a meeting this afternoon.
3. I really hope this guy is done with the kitchen soon because I want to eat my lunch, but I can't get to the fridge without walking through his work area.
4. Something is wrong with my work email and I am not receiving any emails from people outside the company. It is very frustrating.
5. I am unnaturally excited about being able to put everything back in the cabinets.
1. My friend just texted me that her husband is gone tonight & would we like to come over for dinner & have the kids play, sure!
2. Said friend is the homemade cooking queen, I'm trying learn from her, bye-bye processed foods! (as much as I can)
3. It is funny hearing DD tell DS, "no, no, you can't do that/go there". Hmmm, sounds familiar......I guess she really does listen to me (obeying is another thing).
4. We have a wedding for a couple from church tomorrow & I'm really excited for them & glad DH & I can attend w/o the kids.
5. DH will be in Charlotte 1 more week, darn, why can't it be longer, I've never been & would love to go there w/him for a week.

1. Both kids are sleeping right now. Unheard of!
2. I'm so happy to have a laptop again. I think we went 2 months without one, and only used our Ipod touch. I don't know how I survived.
3. I'm so excited for Sunday. The Paul McCartney concert will be amazing, and I don't think he's come to concert in Detroit since the 70's. And I doubt he ever will again.
4. I'm listening to Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds right now, swaying to-and-fro, preparing myself for Sunday
Even if he doesn't sing it.
5. I need to work on my tan. I leave for Vegas in 3 weeks and do not want to fry on my first day there. I want to go to the pool every morning.
I would hope you wouldn't tell him in an email! haha.
I've been wearing my hair curly all summer it seems. I finally straightened it yesterday and wore it down, and then reminded myself why I don't. Too hot!
1. It was 94 degrees in my house yesterday. I hate not being able to clean/cook, do anything productive.
2. I'm getting off at 3 today & can't wait.
3. Sprint inexplicably does not work at my office since yesterday.
4. No phone service = no Pandora, texts, FB. I'm lost.
5. I'm hoping to squeeze a pedicure into this weekend's plans.
Everything Wedding ♥ Persnickety Plates
1. We are finally wrapping up our wedding photo order (1.5 years later) Doesn't help that our photographer went on maternity leave for 4 months and left us in limbo - we just got our album in the mail Monday! We asked our parents if they wanted portraits and my in-laws don't seem to understand the 10 times I've told them "Pick a couple photos you'd want a large 8x10 or 5x7 to have framed" they sent us a list with 30 pictures that they want put in an album, after I tolder them parent albums were somehting separate. After 3 days, FIL told us that after discussing it with MIL, they decided "it was best to just stick with the album - they'd prefer not to hang or dispaly any pictures" I"m a little insulted, but I'm not sure if I'm making a big deal out of nothing.
2. Number 1 was really long!
3. I have to travel for work on Mondat for a big meeting and I'm super nervous!
4. This week has taken forever and I am really looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
5.I'm frustrated the dealership pushed back getting the work done on my car ANOTHER week! I have already been without my car over a month - I've had the rental so long it now needs an oil change. I'm starting to wonder if I will ever see my Escape again or if the body shop is just going to have it forever. If that stupid deer hadn't leapt onto the roof of car kamikaze style I wouldn't have to worry about this.
1. I'm dying to find a house to call my own. One I can paint and decorate and set up tehw ay I want.
2. I wish I had a huge budget allowance to do #1.
3. I'm exhausted and frustrated with dh. He wants me to stop breastfeeding like nothing else (ds is 14 months and he thinks it's time). I'm weaning but still getting up in the middle of the night with him- and always fall back to the nurse to sleep so I can go back to bed quickly. It's a hard habit to break, for both of us. Dh has said in a number of conversations that he will start getting up with him instead to help me wean. He FAILS at this- big time.
4. I went from nursing 1 time (to bed) a day to nursing to bed, and as of two days ago- 2 times at night. Dh just doesn't get it. So much for my goal to be done bfing by next weekend
5. I can't wait to fly next week. It's my favorite mode of transportation and my 3 year old is super excited to go in a plane. I hope it goes well.
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
1. I am so glad it's Friday!
2. DD has been way into baby dolls lately, feeding them, rocking them, etc, it's so cute to watch her!
3. I can't wait to go in my parents pool after work today.
4. I finally cleaned up the house a bit last night and am determined to keep it like that!
5. #4 is going to be easier said than done!
1. does having a dream that I was pregnant the first step in 'being ready'?
2. I have mentally checked out of my current job since I only had 8 work days left there before I move on.
3. I just downloaded the newest Jodi Picoult book
4. I am excited to make more money and have less responsibility at work.
5. I really can't complain about anything with my life. Every decision supports where I am right now yet, I wonder if 'this is it'.
