I just got an e-mail from my boss and he's home today with his sick daughter. Which would normally be awesome, except that we've got a tour coming through today and I'll have to give the whole thing. Fun.
Last night was really low key. Derek met me at my coworker/friends house when I was dropping him off last night to pick up some woodworking things that should hopefully make cabinet building a lot easier. Derek's been having a tough time figuring out how to work with what we have, so it was nice to get some advice and other things to use!
Tonight? Who knows. Workout? Sleep? Reading? All of the above I think.
How is everyone today?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Re: Happy Hump Day!
I really feel like it should be Thursday, and have to keep reminding myself it's only Wednesday. And then I get bummed that it's only Wed. Boo. I didn't sleep well last night and now I feel like I'm coming down with a cold, so I'm just looking forward to the weekend and especially the extra hour when the clocks go back on Sat!
I did make it to the gym last night for some swimming. Nice to see a bit of progress following our lesson last week, but still a ways to go.
I'd also really appreciate it if my body would get its act together and either give me a BFP or AF! I hate just waiting.

Morning ladies.
Sushi, I am sorry your body isn't cooperating. I know it can be frustrating.
Last night I slept like crap. I am not sure why, but I did. So I'm cranky. (big surprise).
Today, I am leaving work at 1, since the boys have their 15 month check up today. I am anxious to hear their weights, and see if Christian is still on the chart for his head size. Last visit he was only in the 0.50%. Poor kid has a TINY head. Pedi didn't seem worried at his last visit since he is meeting most milestones.
Well back to the grind. Have a great day ladies.
Tonight I am going to for a run, and will probably spend a good deal of time at the gym. Besides that I don't have much planned for today.
Last night was low key for us, as well. Watched come TV and went to bed early. I've been finding that I'm pretty exhausted the days after my long runs (anything 8 miles or over)
I did manage to get to the gym this morning to elliptical and bike and I work in 1/2 hour. Hoping today is an uneventful day at work. After work will probably be more tv, laundry and dishes.
Have a good day.
Good morning, everyone. Nothing much going on; last night I was on my own, so I went for a run and had a quick dinner. Tonight I'm on my own again, so I'm flirting with the idea of another run.
Minor vent: today at work I'm trying to avoid the customer service people. Someone let it slip that I speak Spanish, so now they want me to make phone calls to people and help verify financial information. Err . . . I found a job as a writer and left customer service for a reason. I'll need to talk to my boss and nip this in the bud.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Put me down as another person who slept like crap last night. I have plans every day from now until Sunday so it isn't a good time to be exhausted.
Tonight I have Italian beef cooking in the crockpot. Then I'm having a wine night for the Top Chef Just Desserts finale.
No Top Chef spoilers! As per usual, we're a few episodes behind here. We just had the Beastie Boys episode this week!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Morning ladies. I'm sick and unfortunately still at work. There's just too much to do to take the day off. So I will be holed up in my office trying to avoid getting anyone else sick. I see some soup in my future for lunch.
Aside from that, not much else going on.
Hope everyone has a good day and is able to get rest and avoid getting sick.
I had great massage this morning; it was a shame I had to come to work. I may be black and blue tomorrow, but right now I am so mellow and about an inch taller than I was yesterday.
Tonight I am meeting some GP Nesties for happy hour in Old Town (Susi, Mandee - 6:00 p.m. at La Tasca, if you are so inclined). I also need to stop at BB&B or Macy's on the way home to get a wedding present. I've put it off as long as I can. This is a friend of DH's and from what I hear from Jim, it sounds like they really shouldn't go through with it, but I guess they are. It's on Saturday. Can you tell that I am not very excited about it?

Happy Hump Day too!
I'm glad it's wednesday. I wish it was Friday. Sigh. Last night was blah. I came home straightened up, made some pumpkin bread and watched tv. I just couldn't get up the energy to do anything more. Add on top of that I slept lousy I'm tired today. Coffee didn't even help revive my sleep self.
I hope today will be different. I'm going to go for a run and see where I go from there.
Good morning,
I woke up feeling super tired this morning too. It seems like I never get enough sleep and it might be because lately all I dream about it school work. Go figure...I can't even run away from it in my sleep.
Tonight should be fun, I'm meeting with some of my mariachi friends to celebrate one of our friend's recent engagement. I haven't seen some of them in a couple of weeks so we have lots to catch up on.
Have a good day ladies!
You know that I don't mention any Top Chef spoilers on here (or FB, or anywhere else on the internet for that matter). I get angry when I accidentally see a spoiler somewhere so I don't want to ruin anything for anyone else. Tomorrow is the Project Runway finale and I won't be able to watch that live. I'm bummed because I'm worried that I'll come across a spoiler somewhere.
I know Arnie, you're awesome.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Good morning!
I'm a bit disappointed the snow storm didn't hit as bad as they said it would. I wanted to work from home today in my pj's, but no such luck! It's supposed to snow throughout the day so I'm holding out hope for an early release.
I guess I spent an entire frantic night on the phone with our IT guy, getting my work from home system up and running, for nothing. Oh well guess it's ready for the next storm!
Good morning. I took the boys to the park last night to burn off some energy so it was actually a pretty good night in terms of putting them to bed. It's driving me insane (seriously) that Izaac won't go to sleep until sometimes 11:30pm.
I'm thinking if it's not too cold tonight I may take them back to the playground again before bedtime.
That's about all I have planned. I may end up making oreo cookie filled brownies today but that's only if I make it to the grocery store today.
Have a good day ladies.
I woke up so mad that it's only Wednesday. My step-dad is coming this weekend, so I'll be cleaning at some point, which means no sleeping in for this girl. DH is usually super helpful about letting me get a few extra hours on the weekend. I think he knows how mean I get without sleep.
Tonight will be watching the final episodes of Dexter Season 5. Can't wait to see how it ends. That show is amazing. Otherwise, just the usual lounging, laundry, stuffing diapers and bottles.
Good morning! I had great intentions of making a semi-healthy dinner last night and decided the hell with it and made fried chicken and mashed potatoes. It was everything I thought it would be and more.
I have a board meeting that starts at 3:30 today and usually there is wine
which on a Wednesday of a crappy week sounds lovely.
Good morning, ladies.
Something must be going around - I slept crappy too. I've been waking up around 1:30 every night, and staying up for at least an hour for no reason.
It's snowing all day today, and I'm looking forward to going home to build a fire and get some baking done for my friend's church festival.
Have a great day, everyone!
