Five Things Friday
1. I think I'm in a "glass is half empty" kind of mood today.
2. I'm looking forward to meeting Babya for lunch, which will be the highlight of my day. 
3. I'm making strogonoff for dinner.
4. Sometimes people just amaze me, and not in a good way.
5. A friend did not believe me last night when I said "I just saw a bat in the sky". Apparently she's never seen one and thought I was making it up, but I honestly see them all the time.

Re: Five Things Friday
1. My co-workers amuse me sometimes. One was looking for lotion and I told her the boss had had some in his office a few weeks ago. She went looking and another cw found it in the mens bathroom.
2. CW who needed it convinced the one who found it to put some in his hand first. Then she told him to smell it to make sure it was okay. Yep, he did and yep she smashed his hand into his face putting lotion in his mustache and on his nose.
3. I was there and cracked up like a mad woman, which lead to me having lotion on my arm and shirt. Still better than a man having white lotion by his mouth. Ha!
4. I lost 3 pounds this week. I am happy about it, but it is because I am seriously cutting down my calories. So I'm pretty much always hungry. It's not pretty, but it's the only way I seem to be able to jump start losing weight.
5. I'm really afraid of falling off the wagon this weekend and gaining the 3 lbs back. I would like to lose some more.
Boo to your glass half empty kind of day. Hopefully your lunch will turn things around. And stogonoff sounds really good. And don't get me started on the way people amaze me. I'm with ya!
1. A follow up to my vent/advice post yesterday...my mother called me last night and it resulted in a big blow up fight. FML
2. I have been so busy at work this week, I haven't been able to get much of anything done. If that makes any sense.
3. I would like to curl up in the fetal position today.
4. My lunch is not that tastey.
5. I don't plan on returning back to the office after the depositions I have to take today. It would be pointless, and I really just want to go home. I am over this week.
1. I'm so ready for this weekend to start! I want today to be over ASAP!
2. My mom didn't get me a birthday present this year
She said she just didn't have time. It doesn't sound like she plans on getting me anything.
3. I'm eating/drinking a Mountain Dew and a 3 Musketeers for lunch. Probably not the best choice.
4. I really need to start eating more balanced meals. lol
5. I'm so glad that DH finally had his first doctors appt in years, this morning, and everything went really well!

This is my problem with my weight loss attempts. I lose some weight, then get sloppy and gain it back. And it is all because of my calories. I really really need to start working out more.

I'm sorry you've had such a crappy week!!! At least it's Friday!!!

1. I hate when I tell someone at work I'll do them a favor and it turns in to something huge and annoying and I spend way more time on it than I planned to in the first place.
2. #1 should tell me that I need to learn to say NO!
3. I am so glad it's Friday. This has been a weird week.
4. I just ate lunch and while it was really tasty it was not really satisfying. That means I'll be wanting to snack all afternoon.
5.I think I'm addicted to chapstick.
Whew! Good thing it's only 5 things Friday and not 10 things Tuesday because I had a hard time with this today.
1. Since my boss was out of the office for about a week, I decided on Tuesday to start working on some paperwork I've been putting off since last August.
2. By last August, I mean August 2010.
3. I'm finally up to April, and about 75% done.
4. It's been tough, but I'm so happy that I'm finally getting this stuff taken care of.
5. I've put on a decent amount of weight so far, but don't really look like it (other than in the belly - which is huge). I'm starting to worry that my little pumpkin isn't quite as little as I would hope.
2. I'm starting to stress out about the move. It will just be me and dh doing the move, with 2 kids. Dh is getting a friend from work to help move the furniture, but we've never moved with just us, and 2 kids.
3. I'm also stressing over putting the house together- decorating and paint colors.
4. The stress is making me feel sick to my stomach at times (at least I think this is why I feel sick and have a massive knot in my back which causes severe headaches)
5. I just poas to 'double check' that's why I'm feeling crappy. It was a bfn, thankfully. I'm not ready for another yet! I'm not sharing this with ANYONE else
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
I have been addicted to chapstick (any kind of lip balm, really) for ~15 years. People think I'm lying, exaggerating, but I totally am/was. I was putting it on, probably a dozen times a day I started weaning off of it around March/April & got myself down to 3 times a day. In the last month or so, its gotten so much better and I can go days without putting it on. It doesn't always look great (which is more of the reason I put stuff on these days rather than discomfort), and it used to hurt a bit, but I'm so happy I've been able to get off of it.
1. We have a lead on someone who might be interested in our apartment! I'm hoping this works out so I can stop stressing about it and focus on the house!
2. I'm having a pretty good day at work today so far, and I'm hoping it stays that way!
3. I'm really looking forward to this weekend, it should be fun!
4. I hope it isn't rainy all weekend - I'm loving the fall weather and can't wait to spend some time outside!
5. I am buying my dad's Christmas gift this wekeend - and I could not be more excited! I get to give it to him early too - I bought him partial season tickets for UofM hockey - I'm an alum and him and I have gone to the games together since I was a freshman, and I'm so excited the y offered partial season packages this year! the first games of our package are in November - hence why he get's his gift early - it's a good thing too, when I find gifts for people that I"m super excited about - I have a REALLY hard time waiting to give them.
1. Had fun at Ladies Night Out last night in downtown Plymouth even if I had to take the kids with us.
2. It needs to go until 10pm, 9pm came too quickly & we didn't get to all the stores.
3. We did go for ice cream after, so that makes it all better
4. DH came home last night and he starts a new assignment on Mon. in Hartford, CT, but doesn't have to be there until Wed., so we get him for a few extra days!
5. It's funny how DD is making me "food" from her kitchen & she loves eating some of the play food, but won't touch the stuff in "real" life!
1. This week has been ridiculously long and it?s made me cranky since like Wednesday.
2. Because of #1, I?m SOOOO ready for the weekend. But it?s only 2:00 and that?s also making me cranky.
3. The weather is crappy and I?m having a bad hair day and it?s making me cranky.
4. I hope that you see a trend in my mood today. Ugh!
5. But I do think that all of this crankiness will magically go away at 5:00!! And I?m SO looking forward to the weekend.
Sorry that I suck today!
