Good Morning!

Yay Thursday!  This week is going by pretty quickly now.

Today I'm going out to lunch with my group at work.  We're celebrating birthday's again, which is exciting.  I wonder where we'll be going!

And then, tonight, we're headed into Toronto to go for dinner with my dad, stepmom, brother and some people from England.  My dad's, um, cousin?  distant relative? is over for a vacation so we're rounding up the family to meet them.  My brother stayed with this family during his (very brief) time working over there.

So, that's all for me today.  Derek and I drove in together, and we were out of english muffins for breakfast, so we ended up stopping at Tim Horton's for breakfast.  Sad, because now I'll be eating all 3 meals out today!

How is everyone today?

Re: Good Morning!

  • Good morning! I'm feeling really stressed out today; our long-range plans are due tomorrow and I have a bunch of tests to make this week.But, I did make some totally fantastic pumpkin scones last night and the thought of eating all that sugar is propelling me forward.
  • Ooh. Pumpkin scones...Yumm.

    We finally got some extra sleep last night. It rained, so my best bet is that it was a soothing sound. Plus, I made sure to keep him up as long as he could stand it last night. It was about 830 before he passed out. Still only 5 hour stretches, but way better than 2 or 3. 

    Tonight should be pretty relaxing. I'm going to try and watch Grey's, but I think I'm just over that show now. I wasn't really sucked in by the season premiere. Oh well. Maybe I can get some reading done on the new book I have.

  • Hello. So close to the weekend; I hope today and tomorrow go by fast.

    Last night's happy hour was fun; we ended up a place that has Landshark and Fat Tire on tap, so I must get Josh there! He'll love it. Got home, made dinner while I waited for Josh, and then we relaxed the rest of the evening. 

    Nothing planned for tonight other than trying to get myself to the gym. I haven't gone since last week thanks to the book festival and these evening outings, so it's time for a good workout.

    Have a great day, ladies.

  • Morning ladies!

    Last night I has my waxing, uncomfortable, but I consider it 20 minutes of alone time that I needed.

    Today, I have to run out at lunch to meet my mom with the boys. Christian has his LAST appt with the uroligist to basically make sure that his belly button is healed from the surgery.  I am so excited because today will be the last day with specialists! 

    Tonight, I plan on organizing the front room since woodstove season is upon us, and I have a bunch of toys and things I need to get rid of in there.

    Otherwise typical work day. Have a nice day ladies.

  • Good Morning.

    Last night I did NOTHING but lay in the floor and play with Preston and Jordan. Preston was in an extra good mood yesterday and wanted to drive his trucks all over the living room and Jordan was being extra funny. It was a perfect night. SInce i lacked in the cleaning department last night I have a dishwasher full of clean dishes that have to put up and a load of laundry to start this afternoon. I also need to vacumm tonight. I promised Jordan I would cook chcken spaghetti tonight, but I did cook the chicken last night so I just have to mix it all together this afternoona nd bake it. Other than that it will be a quite night.

    Jordan is having a sleepover at his cousins house tomorrow night so I need to pack his bag to take and I think we will be having a quick and easy supper since DH will be working until 8pm and Jordan will be gone.

  • Good morning! Yesterday flew by since I spent half of the day in my car driving to and from the meeting that I had to attend. I honestly can't believe that it's Thursday already. I'm also feeling fully rested for the first time since catching the flu.

    I was fairly productive last night. I got caught up on a lot of the housework that I'd been putting off since getting sick. I also finished that book that I'd been working on (The Hunger Games - thanks for the positive reviews here!)

    Tonight I'm hoping to get in a workout. I haven't had a workout since getting sick, so I'm kind of dreading it, but I know that I need to get back into the routine. I'm also planning on getting in some reading time with Catching Fire.

  • Hi all.  I just got back from a long lunch with coworkers - a leaving lunch for one lady that's switching groups and another that's going on maternity.  I wish I was either one of them at the moment!  Oh well, at least it was good to get away from my desk and outside for a little bit.  It's another beautiful day here and I wish I wasn't in the office.

    Going out for drinks and dinner tonight with a friend, which should be nice.  I was supposed to go to the gym, but this sounded like a much better alternative :-)  DH is out of town, so my schedule is my own for the next few days.

  • Good morning, ladies.

    I have to complete my self-evaluation at work by tomorrow, and it's always a difficult process.  But an important process, so I need to spend some time and do a good job with it.  I was up from 11:30 to 2:30 last night, so I'm ready for 5pm to get here soon.

    Have a great day, everyone!

  • Good morning! Darian is napping so V and I are just relaxing now like old times. This is so nice.

    I think we'll be going to the mall today. I've got coupons for the bookstore and Gymboree so I thought I'd go and use them :)

  • Good morning! Last night was more productive then I thought it would be, a grabbed a few things from the grocery store, did 2 loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and cleaned the litter box all before 7:00pm. Then I relaxed on the couch for bit and watched Up all Night.

    Today is another busy day at work with end of the month stuff. Nothing special planned for tonight. Have a good day ladies!

  • Good morning ladies. I had dinner with my BFF last night and it was good times. We got all caught up and chatted about everything. She's dating one of DH's friends so it's interesting to hear how it's going.

    Today is once again, another busy day at work. This has been the longest week ever and I hope it goes by fast. I can't wait for the weekend. Hope everyone has a great day.

  • Morning Ladies!

    Just a normal work day for me, calls are starting to flood in from coworkers since tomorrow is my last day so I am sure I will be crying soon. I am getting some very nice comments.

    I had a bit of a meltdown last night about my weight. I never ever thought I would weigh this much. I think I am to the uncomfortable point and swelling that it's starting to get to me. I know it is completely selfish and at the end of the day all that matters is that I have a healthy baby in the end, just a pity party evening for myself.

    After work, we are heading to the condo to clean. The new tenants move in Saturday.

    Have a great day everyone!

  • Mmm, Tim Hortons.  I miss it so much.
  • Ugh. Morning.

    I'm dead to the world. I got less than 4 hours of sleep because I got the pleasure of attending a company event with DH last and ended up playing gate keeper and making sure people didn't drive home. DH is hungover and I'm tired.I called in and let them know I was coming in a few minutes late, only to then  miss the next bus so I was almost 2 hours late. And I'm leaving early for a dentist appt.

  • Work always goes by quickly when you spend the first half of it somewhere else! 

    I went with Jim to the cardiologist this morning.  Of course the a-fib was gone, but he still scheduled a echocardiogram and a sleep study and he's wearing a monitor today.  The upshot of it is that there is really nothing they can find to cause it and since he's asymptomatic we don't know how often it's happening (hence the monitor).  His chance of having a stroke (the main concern with a-fib) is very small, but he's going to get an aspirin a day just for precaution.

    Other than that, not much is going on today and I'm just plowing ahead until it's time to get out of here.

  • Morning! I have off today for the Jewish holiday, and spent the morning in bed watching movies. Then I went out and did some shopping. Tonight DH is grilling up a steak, and we'll relax the rest of the night.

  • Evening!  The day was crazy starting with a terrible meeting with a parent.  Sometimes I just wonder why some people can have kids so easily while others who are truly able and ready can't...and so that made me bitter for the day.  Eh.  The rest of the day was chaotic (picture day) but fine...

    I ran 4 miles when I got home this afternoon and now I am getting subway for myself for dinner since Ed is OOT for the night.  I am having subway, baked cheetos, and wine...and honestly could not be more excited about it...

  • Last night I was pretty tired so I went to bed at 9pm.  Unfortunately, I ended up awake at 2:30am.  I couldn't get back to sleep and I was starving so I got up, had a big snack and watched some Flashdance that was on television.  I finally fell back asleep around 4am.

    I got up at 5am and ran 6.5 miles.  Work was pretty uneventful except for a staff meeting.  They are trying to revamp our clinical schedule because we are short staffed and I'm not sure that this will help.  I got held back after the meeting to discuss a possibility to make things better at the smaller hospital.  Essentially, they need to hire another pharmacist but someone they think they can get around that.  I wound up sending out a passionate plea to management after I got home from work.  Hoping something changes soon.

    I'm off work for the weekend now!
