Five Things Friday
1. I watched the SYTYCD finale last night and was happy with who won.
2. I recorded The Bachelor Pad on Monday night to watch, and so far I've only watched half of it four days later. Not sure how I even feel about the show honestly.
3. I really need to get working on sorting through all of Emma's "old" baby clothes so I can get everything organized in a timely fashion.
4. I'm a really bad procrastinator. 
5. I need to get my hair trimmed and I'm looking forward to having some "me" time.

Re: Five Things Friday
1. I'm a bad employee. I just spent 30 minutes looking for articles on what happened on Jersey Shore last night.
2. I'm a little embarassed to admit #1.
3. We leave for Disney in 5 weeks and I'm a little nervous if everyone (H's family) will get along.
4. I really hope we get our house before the end of the year. I really miss my bed & couch!
5. I can't stop eating this morning. So far I've had raisin toast, cereal bar and now I'm eating a bag of pretzels. Katie, put the bag down!
1. I had 3 options for doctors appointment times this morning, I chose the latest time so that I could go back to bed and sleep in an extra hour. I played it off at work like it was the only time available.
2. I am excited to finally be getting some analysis projects at work, as opposed to all of the data management that I've been working with lately.
3. I am relieved that DH and I decided not to do gifts for each other for our anniversary, because I was clueless about what to get him... I should probably grab a card though.
4. I'm sure that even though we decided not to exchange gifts, that DH will get me one anyway...
5. At my doctors appointment I weighed the least I've weighed in a few years, and afterwards I treated myself to a mcdonalds breakfast.... That was a stupid thing to do...
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
1. I am hosting my first family bbq this weekend at our new house. I am really excited!
2. The fact that DH is not excited and does not care bothers me.
3. I spent 6 hours yesterday trimming our bushes and trees, which had not been done in years. DH proclaimed they looked okay and did not understand why I do things ahead of schedule. This bothered me also!
4. I start a new teaching job soon! Hooray!
5. This year is very stressful-but in a good way. DH is studying for the CPA, and I am starting a new job and in school for my master's. When people ask why we don't have kids yet, and I explain this, and they look me at like so what, we had kids when were your age, I want to punch them!
1. I got all the way to my mom's house this morning to find out she was sick and couldn't watch Peyton. I wish we could afford to send P to daycare more often then we do so I could avoid this problem. Work was not happy with me.
2. I really need to continue packing my house but I'm lazy and don't want to deal with it.
3. I'm super excited that football season is upon us.
4. One of my dogs gets an "STD" and its really gross and disgusting. He has it right now so I am leaving him at work until it clears up. I feel slightly guilty becuase there is no reason he can't be at home.
5. I also feel slightly guilty that I sort of enjoy being a one dog household right now. Don't worry- I'll go pick him up tomorrow.
1. Our Husky almost gave me a heartattack last night. She had a clogged follicle that filled up with fluids which we had drained last month. Blood must have started filling up in it and she scrathed it. All I know is in the middle of making dinner I turn around and it looks like a murder scene in my kitchen and I see blood dripping off of her.
2. I freaked and made DH stop cutting the grass to attend to her. It stopped bleeding almost immediately and I think DH now sees me as a wuss.
3. After that lovely incident, we went looking at Dodge Grand Caravans. Sticker price=me almost having another heart attack.
4.We registered for the baby on Sunday. Tuesday I went to add a few more things to the list and noticed the bedding was already purchased. Someone was right on top of that.
5. Monday is DH's brthday and I don't know what else to get him. I bought him a Suh Lion's Jersey but lost on what else since everything I know he wants cost a lot.
1. I would really like a weekend where we have nothing to do. I'm tired. I don't see it happening....like ever. I think we'll be busy until baby is born and then...well we'll have a baby.
2. I'm frusturated with DH today. For a variety of reasons. Some legit....some not as much.
3. #2 is making me cranky.
4. It's been super quiet at work today and therefore I've gotten a lot done - work and personal stuff.
5. My bosses boss is out of the office today and a bunch of us are thinking about sneaking off for a DQ run around 3:00. Some people aren't going to come back. I'm still not sure where I stand on this. My immediate boss is still in the office. Humph.
1. We have been so busy after work this week. I'm so excited to be able to come home and just make dinner and lounge around the house tonight.
2. I just made an appt to tour our third daycare. None of these daycares currently have availability for Jan when I'll have to go back to work, and two of them have a waitlist. Ugh!
3. Now that we've got everything in the nursery, I'm having trouble pulling the trigger on putting up decorations. Maybe once we are done with the shower and get a few more things I'll have more motivation to finish up.
4. My older cat has conjunctivitis and we have to put drops in his eye three times a day for seven days. I am incredibly happy that DH is around to help me with this. He doesn't like it so much.
5. I am so excited about my massage tomorrow. I love massages!
1. I am listening to Colbie Caillat on my ipod and have no idea why I haven't listened to this cd before, it's awesome!
2. DH makes fun of me because I'll buy cds (or download them) and won't listen to them for a really long time.
3. The weather isn't looking that good for this weekend and it bums me out.
4. DD was swimming at my parents pool yesterday and I was so proud of her, she was kicking & splashing like crazy!
5. This was much easier than 10 things Tuesday!
1. My daughter has started teething and its horrible.
2. I kinda want to wear earplugs, my husband said thats mean. *sigh*
3. I am annoyed because a friend invited Ava and Iover today and I got the baby ready and her bags packed and texted/fb her at 8 this morning. Its now going on 2 and I still havent heard from her. I was really looking forward to this.=/
4. I need to do laundry and I dont feel like it.
5. i have 5 wedding showers this month. I don't want to go to them but these people all came to my showers (wedding and baby). I know that makes me sound like a rotten person. =(
1. I just finished my lunch, and now my stomach aches.
2. My mom emailed me, saying maybe we shouldn't go to Greece because we might get hurt or die (because the economy/social situation is not the greatest). Thanks, mom. Maybe I should have told her that I named her as the beneficiary on my travel insurance, so at least she'd get some cash out of the deal, lol.
3. I keep thinking of all these things I want to buy, and am trying SO hard to not even look/shop so that I can save the money for our trip. It's harder than I thought it would be.
4. I started reading "Freakonomics", and after the first two pages, I can already tell that I am going to like it.
5. My favorite nephew's mom (SIL) is pregnant again, and I'm so excited! I really hope they have a girl this time, and I really hope that she is just like her brother (in temperament and cuteness).
1. I found a house I loved and found out it's in a really bad school district and I'm so bummed.
2. My kid keeps trying to slide his finger on my computer screen to get things to move - apparently he's spending too much time with my iPhone.
3. My sister-in-law is coming for dinner but I'm too tired(lazy?) to clean upstairs, so I'm really really hoping she doesn't want/need to go up.
4. We're going to Florida in a couple months and I'm so excited because we're finally doing family vacations.
5. I can't wait for school to start...just a few more weeks.
