Good Morning!
Oh man that long weekend was nice!
We were very busy all weekend. We headed out to Tim and Shannon's place on Friday and it was non-stop party prep for most of Friday and Saturday. We had a blast hanging out and playing with the girls and got to help them settle their new kitten in (I'll try and post a picture later!). Sunday was tough, as that was the kids birthday. Everyone released a balloon up to send to Ryley, which was sad, but also sweet.
Yesterday we went down to the beach with my mom and step-dad and it was just wonderful. Poor Derek got realllly burnt (as he always does) and claims that it's SPF 60 for now on for him.
Today I'm busy as all get up with work, so I might not be in a lot. I hope you all had a great weekend and a good start to the week!
What's everyone up to today?
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Re: Good Morning!
I have a massage this afternoon! I am so excited. I got a gift certificate from a couple of my coworkers/friends this spring after my m/c and I haven't used it yet, so I decided it was my reward for running every day in July and getting in over 100 miles...and just in time because I am still super sore from Sunday's hill runs...
Other than that, I need to grocery shop, I'll get in a short run, and I need to get a little class work done--I have just under two weeks left and I need to finish the readings and start the 10 page paper...

Good morning, ladies.
Car repairs - ugh. I hate spending money on cars. Two of the kids' cars need major work before we send them off to campus for the semester.
Work is about all that's going on around here. Vacation coming in a few weeks when we go to California for my Brother's wedding. Can't wait.
Have a great day, everyone!
Quiet evening lastnight.
Lots of work going on here today. Tonight, not much either. My life is boring, looking forward to the weekend!
Good morning! Last night was somewhat quiet--we had to find another way home because of Metro delays, so we took an express bus home together. Reminded us of two summers ago when we had to take that bus almost every day. I felt like jabbering at the H about wedding details like I did back then. Hah. When we got home, it was laundry time.
Today we're getting ourselves to the gym and hopefully just relaxing after that. I just booked us a hotel for late September--the National Book Festival is two days long and we've decided to stay downtown overnight, so there's something to look forward to.
Okay, back to work. Have a great one, ladies!
Good morning! I had a good night last night. I cooked an easy dinner and got in a great workout (I'm pretty sore today). Kyle was exhausted and went to bed really early. I was tired but for whatever reason had quite a bit of energy at the same time. So I used it to my advantage and finished some housework.
Tonight is leftover night so it should be another low-key night for us. My plan in to get in another good workout and possibly some more housework.
Blender - I can't believe you ran over 100 miles in July! Awesome job! You deserve a massage for sure.
My evening was pretty busy, I had to run errands for work (pick up soda, snacks, and stamps) and didn't get home until almost 7:00. Then I made a quick dinner, did some laundry, and paid some bills.
Tonight I really need to go grocery shopping we have nothing in our pantry.
Good morning!
Yesterday was quite me and DH actually went to bed at 9:30 and went to sleep it was nice.
Today should be much of the same. DH is off work today so he is going to cook and the house was clean when I left this morning. I hope it stays that way. I have a busy afternoon/night tomorrow night so I am going to enjoy tonight.
Good morning. Last night Dh and I celebrated our anniversary. It was great. My Mom and Dad gave us these beautiful crystal toasting flutes as a wedding gift and told us to use them whenever you have something special. So Champagne and fancy glasses it was. We also went to dinner and had a fantastic time.
Tonight i'm going to hit the gym to make up for the food I ate yesterday.
Blender - congrats on all the mileage! Now, how about you move near me and kick my butt in gear?
I have an all day board of directors retreat for the marketing society I'm part of. I really shouldn't have taken a board position this year, since I'm actively looking to leave the industry and my heads not in it. oops.
Good Morning!
Another productive evening for us. Tonight, DH has his last softball game but it is a late one so I don't think I will be going.
Today is another normal work day and then home to get some stuff done.
Have a great day ladies!
Hi all. I was working from home this morning so that I could take my test this afternoon (see post above). I'm a pretty good mood now, and just chilling at home before I grab a celebratory drink!

Good morning.
We had a golf tourney on the weekend with my family and I'm still sore from it. I haven't golfed in about 3 years so needless to say I sucked. I'm itching to go again. I took Russ to the airport this morning (back to work). I have some major cleaning today and try and get dentist appointments and an appointment with the mechanic...again...
I bought a new book so I'm hoping to make a dent in that tonight once the kids are in bed.
Aloha from Waikiki! It's just after 6 am here, and we're waiting for the breakfast joints to open up so we can go get some food! We're only here for a few hours today before flying to Kauai. I think that's when I'm really going to get excited - we're there for 6 days, so it means I can unpack and unwind.

Good morning ladies. It's been another crazy morning at work and I'm feeling so overwhelmed. I know nesting instead of working doesn't help but I figure since I'm not taking my breaks I can at least check in.
After work some of our friends are coming over to see the house with their LO. I think we're going to do take-out for dinner since I don't feel like cooking. Have a great day ladies!
If we don't hear from you, have a fantastic time! I would love to go back to Hawaii.

It is actually afternoon here. We have my brother visiting and have been having a lovely time going out and showing him our home. It is his first time on the island so he is enjoying the experience. He is leaving tomorrow morning so we are trying to do as much as we can with what little time we have left.
Tomorrow it is back to work for me. I have really been enjoying this long weekend. It was really nice to be able to spend sometime with the family.
Work was pretty busy today.
Last night I was on call again and got 8 phone calls! One of them involved me having to go back in to the hospital to make up and IV but at least it was easier (and earlier in the night) than the eye injections I had to make the night before. The good thing about having to go in for a call is that they have to pay you 4 hours at 1.5 times pay.
My 2 final pages were at midnight and that sucked. Honestly, they were for orders that were written way earlier in the night (think 8pm) so I was not impressed that they woke me up with things that should have been solved hours ago.
It's pretty hot out so even though I want to run, I'm not going to. Instead I'm going to go to spin class again. I went last Thursday and it was a good workout and it didn't leave me sore so it looks like a good cross training option.
