10 Things Tuesday
1. I am SUPER sleepy today. I can barely keep my eyeballs open.
2. Peyton's birthday is on Saturday and I'm having a really hard time with her turning 1. 
3. It is really cold in my house.
4. I made a cute birthday banner for P's party and it was meant to hang on our fireplace mantle. It's too big. haha.
5. As of right now, we have 29 adults and 19 kids coming to P's party. I'm slightly nervous about hosting so many people!
6. They are taking forever building the house behind us. I wouldn't be too happy if I were the new homeowners.
7. I seriously can not wait for Christmas.
8. I find myself trying to sing songs other than Christmas songs to P. I am getting bored of the Itsy, Bitsy, Spider and Row, Row, Row Your Boat, though.
9. We went to the pumpkin patch over the weekend and it was pretty fun.
10. We also went to Halloween Nights at Greenfield VIllage over the weekend and Peyton had SO much fun with the other kids and looked at all the jack o lanterns. I can't wait to take her to the Christmas one. 
Re: 10 Things Tuesday
Must be the weather, everyone I have talked to today is sleepy.
1st birthday's are sad, hang in there.
I can't wait for Christmas either, it's my favorite time of the year and I love seeing the kids phases on Christmas morning.
I have nothing, I can't think straight.
1. I too am very sleepy today
2. I have to drive up to Lansing this afternoon for work so maybe I'll buy myself a pop as a treat (and also for the caffeine!)
3. I need to start thinking of Christmas presents for people but I loathe shopping each year.
4. I am super pumped about going home to Minnesota for Thanksgiving. I haven't been home since Christmas and DH hasn't been to my parents house in 4 years! Ridiculous.
5. One of my good friends is coming into town this weekend and I'm really excited to see her. Especially because it means we'll go out to dinner and I haven't eaten out since creating our family budget (about a month ago).
6. I am also flying to Florida next week for work and I'll be tagging a little vacation on to it as well so I can see my best friend. She moved away our senior year of highschool and we rarely get to see each other.
7. #6 may make my life sound more interesting than it really is. The reality is that I'll be sitting in hotel rooms wishing I was home for the majority of the trip
8. My check engine light came on after getting it fixed last week. I was extremely annoyed.
9. Last night our cat was sleeping next to me and snoring. I then had a dream where she had a deviated septum and needed a nosejob to fix it. So then she was running around the house with a bandage over her nose and I woke up laughing imagining a cat getting a nose job.
10. I was hoping to stretch this out until lunch time and it looks like I almost made it!
Me either!!!
1. I am annoyed that it is CD1
2. I should be getting my notes together because I have my cranky volutneers coming in in 20 minutes. Shame on me!
3. I am so stressed out about next week that I can't focus on this week.
4. I am SO ready to go home and work on my fish tank.
5. I went to the pet store yesterday to get tank supplies so I could set it up, but I was so distracted by the fact that it was not CD1 I forgot a few key supplies.
6. Sorry to be talking so much about CD1 - ever since DH and I started not TTA I'm super distracted by the thought of having babies.
7. Anyway, I'm going back to the pet store tonight to get the rest of my fishy supplies.
8. That will make three trips to the pet store this week, assuming I go again on Thursday/Friday to buy my fishies.
9. I don't feel like making dinner tonight, but I probably will.
10. Spaghetti.
I was always a fan of The Wheels on the Bus.
1. I have spent way too much at the salon/spa in the last week.
2. Friday I got a brow wax, hair cut & bought face toner. Add tips = $110
3. Today I went back for moroccon oil & my face mosturizer and spent another $80. Jeez!
4. I didn't wash my hair this morning and it's kinda messy.
5. Of course because of #4, I saw my stylist when I went to pick up products today.
6. Made me want to apologize for not styling the hair she cut. Ha!
7. I can't decide what I want to make for dinner tonight.
8. I cleaned out my closet this past weekend. What a job!
9. Between myself & DH, I have 2 big garbage bags full of clothes to donate.
10. My lunch didn't fill me up.
2. I stayed up late last night to watch the season finale of Most Elligible Dallas. I got sucked in during a marathon on Bravo. Seriously, I LOVE that show. lol
3. I am still being pouty that FI is gone for work for the week.
4. Last night, the dog stayed by the back door waiting for him until 10 p.m, when I finally called him in to be with me.
5. After the dog laid down next to me on the couch, I kid you not, he began to howl the saddest howl in his sleep.
I had to wake him up.
6. I am super busy at work right now.
7. I got a memo for a massive project that, at the end, said that this case is the most important case we have for that client right now...and we are expected to win.
8. My work has no pressure. *eye roll...followed by ulcer*
9. I need to go to the bank.
10. I wonder what I am going to have for dinner tonight.
1. I'm exhausted... but that seems to be the theme today...
2. I am bummed that I have to go back to the doctors this afternoon for a second appointment. As if taking yesterday afternoon off wasn't enough...
3. I get to see my mom this afternoon though! Not for very long, she's in town fora few hours, but it's always good to see her!
4. I look like absolute crap today... Do you ever have those days where you just can't seem to get anything to look right?
5. Because I wasn't feeling so hot about my looks today, I put on a big sparkly necklace in hopes that people would look at that and not me, lol
6. My boss said to me this morning... "You're very sparkly today!", lol. I think it's working!
7. I need to go grocery shopping SO BAD!
8. I invited friends over for dinner tomorrow and have no idea what I'm going to cook.
9. I keep going back and forth between pulled pork and tacos. I always seem to do tacos, but I'm not sure that everyone will enjoy pulled pork...
10. I had frozen pizza for dinner last night, because we are in desperate need of groceries, and I had it again for lunch today... It was delicious, lol... I feel like I need to eat some veggies though...
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
1. I haven't played 10TT in awhile. Let's see if I can think of 10 things.
2. Ally Auto messed up my ss# on my lease & fixing it is a big pita.
3. The internet is making me want to buy lots of things.
4. Tomorrow is my Friday but that hasn't really sunk in yet.
5. I ate the last of the zucchini bread I made at lunch. I'm kinda glad it's gone so I don't feel guilty for eating so much.
6. I've gained weight since starting calorie counting. For the first time in my life, I understand how frustrating it is to try to loose weight.
7. I'm pretty obsessed with nail polishes lately. I'm getting better at doing my own manis.
8. I still want a pedi.
9. We're going on a party bus this Saturday. I hope people behave & I don't get too annoyed.
10. Back to Pinterest & blogs
Everything Wedding ♥ Persnickety Plates
1. I am tired too today, it must be Tired Tuesday!
2. It just took me over an hour to eat a small side salad and I'm not sure why...lol.
3. I really like the show Pan Am and hope it's not cancelled.
4. I finally watched Kim's wedding and I'm not sure what to think, it didn't feel like a "real" wedding.
5. I am so sad to hear about Gulianna having breast cancer, I really like her and hope everything turns out ok!
6. I'm hoping my mom can dye my hair tomorrow, I don't want to go for a way over due trim until she dyes my hair first.
7. I am not ready for this colder weather, I think I'm going to need to go clothes shopping.
8. DD saw me yawn last night and said "Mama Tired?" She's so funny!
9. I hope to get a 20 minute nap when I get home, but DD might have other plans.
10. I can't believe Halloween is 2 weeks away, I gotta buy some candy!
1. Didn't make it to BSF this morning, stayed home so Kaitlyn could rest.
2. Took her to the peditrician, she's fine except some swelling in her nose that's making her not have a runny nose, but go down her throat, hence her coughing.
3. I hate myself for yelling at her when trying to get her to take her medicine, so much for tyring to take the calm approach.
4. Of course it's hard to reason w/a 3 yr old why they need to take the medicine no matter how bad it tastes. She said she'd rather just keep coughing.
5. Of course I was crying because I was already tired of arguing w/DH, why is it my fault you didn't communicate, I have ESPN, not ESP!
6. This doom & gloom outside isn't helping my mood, I cried Sun. too, part DH & I arguing & part me having a pity party for myself feeling alone.
7. Speaking of doom & gloom outside, I don't sound sunny either.
8. Maybe naptime will be spent catching up on my Ellen shows I have dvr'd. I think I have 2 weeks to watch.
9. Wonder what sugary snack I can eat while I watch Ellen.
10. I love my dvr, no commercials & I can forward past any guests I don't want to watch.
1) Sometimes its a beating to talk to my sister on the phone.
2) I feel guilty about #1
3) It got cold today in Dallas and I am beyond excited that it finally is below 90 degrees.
4) DH is making dinner tonight
It's something he has never made before and if it fails we get to order pizza.
5) Is it wrong that I hope it fails so we get pizza instead?
6) I am obsessed with the show The Amazing Race. I love to see all the places they go to.
7) I want to go shopping so bad but really shouldn't spend the money.
8) I work only one more day and then I am off for 4 days
9) I am getting my hair cut before my interview on Friday so I don't look haggard like I do right now.
10) I will only be in town for 1.5 days and I want to stop at a cider mill for doughnuts and cider.
