Ten Things Tuesday
1. These are probably going to be really random things because I honestly feel like I have nothing to report, so bare with me.
2. Emma has been letting me put ponytails/pigtails in her hair recently and it's unreal cute. I hope she keeps letting me do it.
3. Even though it was rainy on Sunday, it felt like fall was coming and it got me excited.
4. I made beef stew on Sunday night and it turned out beautifully. I was very proud of myself.
5. I've been married for almost 6 years and finally just posted some professional wedding pictures on FB.
6. In my defense, up until recently we didn't have the digital files from the photographer.
7. Apparently the photographer studio that shot our wedding went out of business because the owner died, and they contacted former brides to see if they wanted to purchase all the archived stuff.
8. The other night DH and I were sitting on the couch watching a show when all of a sudden a big spider was on my leg. I freaked the F out and started screaming, as is my usual response when something like this occurs.
9. Emma likes to "do my hair" with her little clips and crap, which is honestly kinda' relaxing for me.
10. However, the other day I forgot that I had some clips still in my hair and went out to get a package from the UPS man. I later looked at myself in the mirror and thought "Great"."
Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. I just got two new phone cases in the mail & they make me happy.
2. One of my good friends is being induced tonight with her second boy. I'm excited to meet him.
3. My boss gave me a garden tomato & I'm looking forward to eating it for lunch.
4. DH & I keep trading cars. It feels weird not to have a dedicated car to call mine.
5. I'm not liking my nail polish color but I did a decent job painting them so I haven't taken it off.
6. It's day 3 of sticking to my meal plan and I'm doing well so far.
7. I got the book Water for Elephants last week but haven't started it yet.
8. I just got assigned a new project at work. I'm not looking forward to it.
9. I ordered a custom shirt from an etsy seller as part of a "big brother" present & it's taking forever to get here. I think she didn't ship it til yesterday.
10. Where's Tarah been? I just realized I haven't seen her posting. Was she part of the exodus?
Everything Wedding ♥ Persnickety Plates
I've been wondering what's going on. Work gets in the way of everything. LOL

1. Im debating on asking my Dr next Wednesday if im having a boy or girl, since the U/S tech goofed and I am 99% sure I seen boy parts.
2. But if she says girl, ill be disappointed that I didn't wait out my surprise for the end!
3. I never told my co-workers (except the team I work for) that I was pregnant and they are all now wondering and asking me
4. My lil monster dog peed on my curtains this morning!!! What dog does this???
5. My other dog puked allll over the house yesterday and my H had to clean it up! I hope she is ok today, im leaving work at 2 to check on her.
6. 90% of my downstairs is hardwood/slate floors and this dog decided to get sick on the only carpeted areas in the home....go figure!
7. I am going to see Dueling Piano's on Saturday night....im very excited!
8. Dream Cruise is this week and I hope to get down there at least 1 night.
9. I need to decide on Prov. Southfield or HFWB to deliver and its a very hard decision! So many pro's and con's to each.
10. Why do work people call my cell phone when I am 20 feet from their desk?? goodness!
1. I have a client at work that every time I see his last name, I read it as "va-jay-jay", even though it's only sort of close to that, lol.
2. DH and I are meeting with a finance guy after work today, and I'm actually kind of excited about it. I feel like we waste so much money, and I want to get on track and save more.
3. I got pulled over about 1 minute after leaving my house this morning.
( I pulled into traffic and accelerated quickly to get up to speed....apparently I accelerated a little too much because I got pulled over 2 blocks away. I was going 10 over. I am really really annoyed about the ticket.
4. I am debating about trying to "fight" said ticket. He reduced it to "impeding traffic" which is just a fine and no points, but I don't feel like shelling out the cash. I also don't feel like taking time off work to deal with it. Thoughts?
5. I think I am going to get a new bathing suit and a hat for our trip in the fall. I should probably shop for that now or all the swim suits will be gone.
6. I was telling a friend about Pinterest this weekend. He created an account and looked at my boards.....and told me that I have almost 900 pins. What?! When did that happen?? Oh, maybe it was the hour or two that I spend on it almost every night, lol. Oops.
7. I finally updated our house website with more basement pics. Don't you go peeking until tomorrow though!
8. There was a photography class on Living Social yesterday, and I signed up for it on a whim. The photographer teaching it doesn't seem the most experienced, but I'm still excited because a) I can squeeze in all 4 classes before Greece, and b) part of each class includes going into Detroit to take some photos, which I think will be awesome! I hope I learn enough to feel more comfortable with my camera on our vacation.
9. I enjoy '10 things tuesday' and rarely have trouble coming up with 10 things. Maybe I just like talking about myself, ha!
10. I have been cooking more lately, and DH is seriously in heaven. He is making all sorts of promises in order to keep me cooking, it is pretty funny actually. I already have him doing the dishes, and am wondering how much more I can get out of it.
)
1. I am so tired of construction, it seems like it is on every road!
2. I am taking off a day next week to go to the zoo with my sister, but we don't want to pick a day in advance because with our luck, it would rain!
3. I feel like all of my ten things are so boring...lol...but I like reading everyones!
4. I have to go offsite this afternoon for a short training and I'm really thinking I need to treat myself to an Arby's jamocha oreo shake, I hope they still have them!
5. It seems like when I end up liking certain drinks/foods at fast food places, they are always a limited time only and they get rid of them :-(
6. I've been walking on my 15 minute break in the am & pm and random people will see me in the hall and ask if I've taken my walk yet today, it's kind of creepy!
7. The bachelor pad is really not that good of a show, but yet, I watch it anyways.
8. I can't believe it's the middle of august, it kind of depresses me.
9. Summer is my favorite season and it always goes by SOOOOOO fast!
10. DD is amazing me with how much she is talking lately.
1. For the last couple weeks I have not been waking up until about 30min after my alarm goes off. I literally cannot remember hitting the snooze the 4-5 times it must be going off.
2. I'm sure the fact that it is now really dark out when I wake up in the morning is not helping.
3. I just got another recommendation of a daycare and this one sounds like it might actually have an opening!
4. Yesterday I got into a traffic jam on the way home from work. It took an hour to go less than five miles. It made me be ~15min late to yoga. I was in a horrible mood for the rest of the day.
5. Because of #4, I demanded ice cream last night. It helped a little.
6. Between buying the crib, glider, my spa day last weekend, and my cat having to go to the vet for conjunctivitis, this credit card bill is getting a little out of hand. I think we need to stop spending money for a few weeks.
7. I'm supposed to talk with HR about maternity leave stuff at the end of the month. I really hope they'll let me go down to 4 days/week.
8. I have been so bad about cleaning lately. I really need to get into a schedule again.
9. I've been really busy on the weekdays which has not helped #8.
10. It's time for lunch. I'm going to go eat now :-)
I'm pretty sure she was. I think she has only posted like once since then, and it was the infamous, "why aren't you posting" thread.
Brooke -- long story short, a bunch of girls didn't like the way the board was going, and formed a group on FB to post on instead of here.
1. Despite being tired yesterday I struggled to fall asleep last night and then DH had to get up at 4:20am this morning to make it to a 6am meeting. I woke up when he woke up and counldn't get back to sleep.
2. Because of #1 I am so beyond tired today, Im amazed that I am managaing to stay awake.
3. I signed up for a 12 hour crop for this Saturday with my Aunt and cousin. Ive never dont one before and am looking forward to it. Hopefully I can get my Bermuda Cruise Scrapbooked as well as make some progress on my wedding scrapbook.
4. Because of #3 I have to find time this week to go through and gather up all the materials I will need, as well as print off pictures.
5. I have several uncompleted crochet projects at home. I get bored with one and start another. Im really hoping to find the motivation to finish some of them soon, especially this baby girl blanket Ive been working on that is stunning and Im tempted to keep it for my own baby girl...even though I dont have one yet :-)
6. Since forcing myself to work out at least three days a week and starting to eat better/not over eat I have a lost a few pounds. I hoping this will motivate me to keep on track.
7. I find myself jealous of all the pregnant women out there. DH and I would love to start a family, but dont feel we are quite ready yet. I would like to get in better shape and have more money put away before we actively start. Though we are in that "not trying, but not preventing phase".
8. I mowed the law last night. DH came home as I was weedwacking and said he was so thankful that I saved him from having to do that chore that he took me out to dinner.
9. Im tired, did I mention that already?
10. Im looking forward to the GTG next week because Ive never gone to one before and am excited to meet some of you ladies, as I dont really know a lot of people out my way, even though I have lived here for a few years now.
ARGH don't you hate that, I have a similar situation and I am still very bitter about it! I got pulled over as I was pulling out of my work parking lot, literally I pulled into the shop right across the street for no seat belt. I am not sure how the cop seen me or what but I was so mad. I was tempted to fight it as well because I didn't want to the spend the money on a stupid ticket when I were my selt belt everyday. But I don't think you can fight a selt belt ticket.
I say fight it for justice for those that shouldn't be getting tickets!! Haha
1. I have been home sick for the last two days. Not being able to take drugs sucks!
2. I think I?ll have to go back tomorrow because I?m not sick enough to warrant three days off and because the stress of the work that?s piling up is getting to me.
3. Our fist baby shower is this Sunday. I cannot believe I?m having a baby shower. It still just doesn?t all seem like it can be real.
4. I?m TOTALLY not ready for fall. We suffered through an extra long and extra cold winter and I want to have some serious summer time. Though this weather is better than those 95+ days!
5. Fall also means that we?ll have a baby and I just don?t know if I?m ready for that quiet so soon yet.
6. Congrats to the girls who did 3Day. It?s an awesome experience and obviously a very worthy cause.
7. I don?t think my dogs know what to make of having me home all day. I think I?m interfering with their nap schedule.
8. I had to cancel my appointment to get my eyebrows waxed on Monday because I was sick. I rescheduled for Thursday. I HAVE to make that appointment. I?m starting to closely resemble my Dad. Yikes!
9. My ten things must be boring to people too. But I like to read others so I feel it?s only fair to participate!
10. There are kids/parents tubing on our lake. Don?t these people work? And their kids go to school? I wish I could be independently wealthy and not have to work all the time!
It's very frustrating! Walmart is normally where I get the staples like my H loves Franks Red Hot sauce, I normally can get a big bottle for 1.86 at Walmart, now it's $2.06, it's frustrating because every penny adds up! I guess I really need to start watching for coupons now.
I really want to start learning how to crochet, did you take a class or read a book?
Enjoy your shower! I think back to that day a lot, it was so much fun! Have fun opening all of those gifts!!!
I agree being wealthy would be wonderful! I would love to be at home!
My aunt showed me the basic stitch and I have taught myself everything else from books and have found that fairly easy. The local Michael's is looking for a crochet instructor and Ive considered signing up to do that, but Im afraid I wont be able to teach people.
A while back I AW'ed a project and some girls expressed an interest in learning. I seriously considered having a nestie GTG to teach anyone who wanted to learn. This way I would know if I can teach someone before committing to being an instructor at the craft store :-) Id be more than willing to get a group of girls together to teach anyone who wants to learn.
