Five Things Friday
Technically it's Friday so I'm getting this sucker started early 
1. Lily is 4 weeks old today. How did this happen?! 
2. I'm at the awkward stage of my weight loss because my maternity clothes are too big on me and yet I'm not quite fitting back into regular clothes yet, so I usually just feel like a big frump. 
3. Lily's Baptism is next weekend which means I should probably start searching my closet now for something that will work. 
4. DH got a new iphone and now he seems to be pretty much obsessed with it and it's irritating me. 
5. I took a shower earlier, and within ten minutes of being out... I was thrown up on and then promptly pooped on as well.

Re: Five Things Friday
1. Took the kids to run a few errands Thurs. & came back home 6 1/2 hrs later!
2. We did have lunch/snacks/potty changes, which I'm glad I am always prepared for being out longer than planned.
3. We hit the dollar store to buy items for our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, good thing, we got a ton of things for only $30!
4. DD wanted to get a balloon for my MIL's b-day this weekend, but when I opened the minivan doors to put them in after lunch, I didn't have it properly secured & it came out & flew away.
5. I'm not sure who cried harder, DD or me.
I felt so bad that I did that to her balloon (esp. when she was so thoughtful to ask to get one for grandma).
6. Yes, I know it's only 5 things Friday, but I can't end on a sad note: After I did my other 2 errands, I drove back to the dollar store (going way out of my way & back to do so) so I could buy that same balloon. I also bought DD an Elmo balloon because I felt so bad. I'm glad I did, DD & DS had a blast w/them when we got home & I know she would have been bummed w/o it!
1. I woke up this morning and my upper back is SO stiff. I've never felt like this before, and I'm not really sure what to do.
2. I have my last day of training alll day long today in Southfield, so I'm hoping this thing with my back gets under control soon.
3. I've been out at training the past two days, which has been great, but I'm also really exhausted. I was hoping being out for these days would help me to rest, but that didn't really happen.
4. DH and I really need to figure out what we're going to dress up as for Halloween. We've really put it off, and now I'm afraid whatever we do will look like crap.
5. DH is a youth minister, so we're going trick or treating for non-perishable items with his youth group. I'm excited to do something for Halloween this year!
1. I am exhausted. I am SO glad it's Friday.
2. I have another really long, hard day to get through before I can really enjoy the fact that it's Friday.
3. After next week, things at work lighten up... at least that's what my calendar says now. Let's see in a week what changes...
4. Sorry I'm being pessimistic. I'm really tired.
5. On a lighter note, I get to see a former co-worker tonight, and I get to do some landscape design work for her. YAY!
Have a good Friday!
1. I'm SOOOOOO glad it's Friday
2. Even though DH & I went out to dinner last night for our anniversary and we're going out again tonight!
3. We bought tickets to go to the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea tonight!
4. I'm waiting to hear back from my boss about taking the afternoon off today! I hope she says yes.
5. I REALLY need to clean my house.
1. I just booked our Cancun Xmas!
2. I?m going to sign up for Aflac today; I hope it?s worth it.
3. I finally got our Halloween candy last night and I?ve been eating to much of it
4. Our big boss is out of town today, makes for a good Friday
5. I?m glad it?s the weekend!
1) DH and I bought a ton of Halloween candy last night and I had to have him hide it so I don't eat it.
2) Tonight we plan to carve pumpkins.
3) I can't wait to see the new Twilight movie.
4) I figured out my Halloween costume yesterday!
5) My grandparents passed away over 5 year ago and I dream about their house about once a week. Makes me miss them every time I do.
1. DH and I have had our Halloween candy for over two weeks now, and I'm proud to say that we have not eaten any of it yet!
2. I know the second that bag is open, we will go to town on the candy...
3. As much as I love FIL, I'm glad that he's finally heading home. He has been with us for the past week and I'm ready to have my house back.
4. DH had to do some stuff at a company in Canada yesterady. He left home around 5:30, drove for 4 1/2 hours worked until 7:30 pm then headed home. He didn't make it home until midnight
He had to be at work at 8am this morning. I hope he at least attempts to take part of the afternoon off! 
5. My neighbor is offering up free football tickets to the game this weekend, and even though I don't think we could actually go, I want to grab the tickets. I could give them to a friend or we could just reorganize our day to go to the game.... But that makes me feel selfish...
ETA: I have one more thing...
6. I walked into work this morning and a spider dropped down from the ceiling... I originally thought it was a Halloween prank, but then I quickly realized it was an actual spider! I carefully sidestepped it and went into my office. I came back with a napkin to take care of the spider (very brave of me) and it was gone... Now I don't know if I'm crazy, or if the spider knew that I was coming back and got out of there...

I cannot believe that she is that old already!!!!
DH does this every time he gets a new phone. His phone now has a kick stand that he can use to prop his phone up and watch tv... He used to watch tv while we were eating dinner... Sometimes I think he's more excited about his phone than his is about spending time with me. I think the excitement will wear off and he'll stop spending every second playing with his phone!
Lol, sorry, but this made me laugh... Hopefully the puking and pooping stage will fade soon!!!! Keep it clean Ritzy!!!

I really want to buy DH tickets to the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea! DH went to school up in the UP and I think he would love to see the theater production of Escanaba in da moonlight, hahahahaha! I think I'm going to surprise him with tickets!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
I'm so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!! This sounds like a blast!!!

DH and I haven't carved our pumpkins yet... I really need to get on that!

Last night was pre-anniversary just count tonight as the real thing lol
Hope it was fun last night!
Well I lied ? we?re not going for actual Christmas, it?s our gifts for each other were going in February. But this is my first time to Mexico! I cannot wait!
That still sounds awesome! DH and I are going to try to go on a cruise or something like that in March! I am thinking the Bahamas.
I've been to Mexico once and I had a great time! I'm sure you'll have fun!!!

1. Even though it's freezing out this morning, I'm glad the sun is shining now!
2. I hate when I wake up in the middle of the night or early morning and think it's Saturday, only to realize it's Friday and that I still have one more day of work!
3. I have a dr.'s appointment on lunch today, I hope the wait isn't too long, last time it was such a long wait.
4. DD has been saying "You're welcome" when some says "Thank you", it's so cute!
5. I really want to try the new peppermint hot chocolate from mcdonald's, yum!
This is exactly what I want to do!

You girls are on fire today....I have barely had my cup of coffee...
1. Today's office treats are cider and donuts, that may be my breakfast and lunch... I have a weakness for them...
2. I am helping with a friends baby shower tomorrow and I am doing the centerpieces, I don't like how they turned out so I have to run out today and get a few more pink/purple things to brighten up the mums...
3. I am leaving work early today..
4. Because we are taking Morgan to Zoo Boo tonight and I can't wait. She is going to be a hippo and I think she is the cutest hippo around.
5. I am very excited for Zoo Boo tonight!!!!
You will have to post pictures! Sounds super cute!
Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds delicious! I remember in college we used to put peppermint schnapps in our hot chocolate... I'm sure it would taste just like that, minus the alcohol, lol

1. Our cleaning lady comes today. It will be so nice to come home to a clean house for the weekend!
2. I took our dog to day care today and I can see her on a web cam. Looks like she's having fun! That makes me feel good. She's not that big on playing, so its nice to see her running around and having fun.
3. I have clothes/shoes arriving from Target and Old Navy today, and I can't wait to get home and try them on!
4. I can't wait to sleep in this weekend. It's been so hard getting up when its so dark out.
5. My skin is so dry. I want to get a hydrating mask this weekend.
This is my #1 reason I will not buy any candy until Monday..
Woah, only 10:30am and already 27 responses?? It's gonna be a good day!
)
1. I had dinner at Pronto last night, and I think I can actually feel my thighs getting fatter. Regardless, that caramel bumpy cake was worth it!
2. Yes, I had a cupcake for lunch too. I had forgotten about my plans to go to Pronto for dinner. Don't judge.
3. I am on the hunt for two yellow anglepoise/architect lamps for the basement. A few months back they had them on clearance at Crate & Barrel, but DH told me not to buy them because he thought they were too expensive. And now there isn't a yellow lamp to be found anywhere (that I like).
( Way to go DH, I should have known not to take decor advice from you!
4. Last night I started sorting a few photos from our trip, and realized that I had even more than I thought. The count was over 2200.....seriously wtf was I doing?
5. I am disappointed with my outfit today, but I didn't have the energy this morning to do any better.
I feel this way about my hair and outfits probably at least once a week! No worries!

I swear I can feel that too after I eat a big meal or something super decadent!
