Good Morning

Yay Thursday? 

My normal carpool partner is off to Michigan today, so I snagged a ride into work from Derek.  We were listening to an audio book (and I was making a wicked cool [ha] friendship bracelet so my head was down) and he missed the exit for my work.  We were in the carpool lane, so he couldn't even make the next one.  One illegal u-turn at the next exit later and I finally got to work!

Tonight, we've got 2 late games of baseball, so I'll really be looking forward to my Friday latte in the morning.

How is everyone today?

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

Re: Good Morning

  • Yesterday was soggy, so I didn't mow the lawn (but I did do all the laundry and clean up the house, you know, so Ed doesn't accuse me of being a bum), so that and weeding are on the agenda for today.  Also a 5 mile run and some reading.  We're making pizza on the grill for dinner tonight and will be laying low.

    Tomorrow I have to get up and run early because my parents are coming at 8:30 so the four of us can head down to NYC for our annual Yankee game (a tradition we started last year...).  I am excited!  Last year we surprised my dad with tickets for Father's Day (though the game was in July) and we had a good time, but it was an afternoon game and was 115 degrees at the game, so that wasn't as great.  This year is a night game and should be in the 70s and low humidity!  Plus we'll get to go out for a nice lunch before and brunch the next morning.  I can't wait!

  • Good Morning! We had someone come over last night to give us a quote for installing our backsplash and the price was really good. DH was planning on doing the floor tile himself this weekend, but now he's thinking about asking this guy how much it would be.

    Tonight we have our first childbirth class.

  • Taking a day working from home today since I had to go to the dr for some antibiotics for a UTI.  Lots of fun. So much for a quiet day though - there's loud construction going on next door, and we've had people traipsing in and out of the flat all day as it looks like they're trying to sell it.  That would totally suck as we love it here and don't want to move at all.

  • Sushisamba - boo to the UTI, those are so painful.  Drink lots of fluids and I hope you feel better soon!

    Last night we went and signed all the papers for the purchase of our new house and sale of our existing house.  Mark will be getting a call later today to go pick up the keys!  I'm so exicted and will put up pics in the next few weeks when I get a chance.

    I don't have any days of work until next Tuesday and we will be moving things over slowly this weekend and we hired movers to move over the big stuff (washer, dryer, couch, bed etc) next Tuesday so my weekend is going to be really busy.

    I'm just getting ready for work now.  Got in a quick 6 miler and then after work I'm on call.  Crossing my fingers that it is less eventful than my last 3 on calls.

    Have a great day, ladies.

  • Hey ladies.  Seriously getting on here is getting harder and harder, and that makes me upset. Crying

    As you know my new desk location is not ideal for Nesting, so I get to sneak it in.  However besides that work is absolutely crazy right now, and I am just trying to keep my head above water.

    I feel like I can't get anything done at home. Now that the boys are both walking into everything I have no time.  So lastnight, I went online to pay bills after the boys were in bed.  I couldn't figure out why the amount on my statement (cable bill) was less than what the computer was saying I owed. So I picked up the phone and called. Yeah Zach must have accepted the charges (I can't keep him away from the cable box) and order the Starz channel package for an extra $15 a month.  So lastnight I put on parental controls on EVERY On Deman and PPV channel.  Seriously, I didn't think I would ever have to do that for 1 year olds. UGH.

    Anyhow chat with you ladies soon! Back to the grind and especially before I get caught.Wink

  • Good morning! Today is my fake Friday so I'm in a great mood. I got in my first morning workout ever and it's amazing how much more energized I feel today. I might have to make this a regular routine. I'm getting my hair cut and highlighted over my lunch "hour" today. Then tonight I'll be packing for our weekend of weddings. We'll head out of town tomorrow for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner for the wedding that Kyle is in. I'm staying with my sister and BIL all weekend so it will be great to see them as well.

    Have a great day, ladies!

  • Good morning! 

    The boys are still asleep so I can get some stuff done this morning without interruption (like shower). I have a lunch meeting with a client this afternoon, so the boys are off to a friend's place for a couple hours. Then it's back to school shopping for Gibs and big boy underwear shopping for Izaac. I've finally gotten him potty trained for the most part, but there are still some things we have to work on. Oh the joys. Then tonight, I'm working on a fall wreath and a cute little fall doorway arrangement. Hopefully, I'll sleep tonight. I've only been getting a few hours sleep so I may have to find myself some sleep aid today as well.

    Happy Thursday everyone! 

  • Good Morning.

    Today will be a pretty quick day. I am going to be out and about running errands for work so hopefully that makes for a fast day. Tonight is my last night with my mom and sisters. They are leaving tomorrow morning so after work I am rushing home to spend more time with them. Luckily, they will be back in less than 2 months to meet the baby so it won't be an awful goodbye like normal.

    Have a great day ladies!

  • Happy Thursday!

    Today is just work, work, work, with the bonus of going to the farmer's market on the way home.  I may make Jim get up and go to the big market on Saturday - we haven't done that in awhile.  That's about it, really.  I didn't do any knitting last night because I got sucked into stupid Facebook games.

  • Good morning! I had a great day yesterday. Except I didn't get a proper work out in. Instead I went to to a local soccer bar to watch the USA vs Mexico game. It was fun to hang out with friends. I got to meet my BIL girlfriends sister. This is the first girlfriend he has ever had that I really enjoy hanging out with and look forward to seeing and her sister is just as cool. I hope they keep on keeping on being happy.

    Tonight We (Dh and I) and a friend are trying out a new restaurant Abbatoir. I cannot wait. They have a ton of things I have never been able to try before so I am excited.

  • Morning everyone.  Today should be a pretty easy going day.  Yesterday, I did a deep clean of my office, filed all the papers, and I now have space to work.  Ever since I got busy in June, my office just got out of control.  It feels so much better to have a clean organized space!  After work, I went to Curves and signed up.  I did Curves back when I was working out a lot for the wedding, and I really liked that I could be in and out in a short time and still get in a decent workout.  I'll be heading there after work today to get set up in the system and then plan to get in a workout.  

    Hope everyone has a good one.

  • Good morning! Today started out with doctor appointments for the H and me. We both had blood drawn and got tetanus booster shots. My left arm is starting to hurt. I teased H about having a better reading on blood pressure. He then said he must not be doing a proper job as a husband if that was the case. Hehe.

    Today I have a ton of work to get done, and it's not easy to do it--my computer keeps on randomly shutting down! Every Thursday and Friday it goes into a shutdown cycle. I counted 30 times last Friday alone. :( They're supposed to give me a "new" computer next week. Hopefully that'll improve things.

    Tonight should be a gym night, then flank steak tacos again for dinner. After that, relaxing together. 

    Have a great one, all!

  • Good morning!

    Last night J went out with a friend so I was able to enjoy some alone time. I watched a girly movie, painted my toenails, and drank a bottle of wine.

    Today should be an interesting day at work...more hiring and firing. Tonight I have a ton of stuff to do it get ready for our trip this weekend, hopefully I can get it all done and we can get on the road by noon tomorrow.

  • blenderdance- I have been telling DH I want to try pizza on the grill for months. A guy I work with talks about making it all the time.

    This morning consist of work, work, and more work. I am so sick of being this busy around here. I did get a wonderful report from Jordan's teacher this morning and he ate supper like a champ last night. He even got dessert!

    Tonight will be the same as always. Preston hasn't been feeling good the last couple of days. I am afraid a doctors visit is on our agenda soon, but we will see when I pick him up today.

  • Hi all!

    rxbeth - congrats on the house!

    katsblaze - I have to admit I found your story about the cable bill pretty funny.

    Quiet day in the ringy house today. (That's a good thing!) I guess I'll just be doing things around the house again, but I might take Darian out for a walk, or shopping.

  • Katsblaze - I'm sorry, but I really did laugh at your story! 

    I made homemade donuts last night and they were pretty good. I really should have done house chores, but I wasn't in the mood.

    Tonight we're going to dinner with my second cousin who is in town on a business trip. It'll be good to see her, haven't seen her since my grandma's funeral.

  • Morning! Yesterday was my last day of summer tutoring, so I have a solid 2 weeks off before going back to school. I found out yesterday that I will be teaching a 7th grade math class by myself this year, in addition to my usual Special Ed duties. I am not certified to teach math, and it is by far my worst subject. I failed it twice in high school and once in college. Should be an interesting year...

    Tonight we are going to the Eagles preseason game, which I am really looking forward to.  We are meeting up with a bunch of friends to tailgate before the game. Every game I have gone to, the birds have lost. Here's hoping that the curse will end this season!

  • Morning ladies! Nothing interesting going on over here. I'm currently enjoying my cup of coffee, my boss is working offsite and I have time to nest and blog. After work I may be going to DH's softball game. It depends on the weather but if I stay home I'll be doing laundry. Have a great day ladies.
