10 Things Tuesday
And go.
1. My meeting w/ friends tonight got cancelled. I'm secretly relieved because I'm so overly-busy/overwhelmed this week!
2. Two of my fishies died 
I couldn't find the reciept so I can't get a refund. Oh well, it was only like $3 I just flushed down the toilet.
3. I LOVE this time of year. The holidays are totally my thing.
4. I still don't like all this Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving. I think we need to focus on one holiday at a time.
5. That being said, I might actually start Christmas shopping early to spread out the $$. I've NEVER Christmas shopped before Thanksgiving.
6. I need a massage.
7. I need my paycheck before I can get a massage!
8. I am taking a day off (in two weeks - ugh) to try and relax/catch up on MY life. I feel like work is taking over.
9. I get a 5 day break for Thanksgiving this year because I work the weekend before and get to flex my time. YAY!
10. Lunchtime!
Re: 10 Things Tuesday
1. It's 11-1-11 today, and I think that's cool.
2. At one month old, Lily now weighs what Emma did at birth.
3. I have leftover pizza for lunch and I'm excited to eat it.
4. Lily's Baptism is this Sunday and I'm already stressing out about getting everyone (and myself!) ready and to church on time.
5. Someone mentioned about Daylight Savings Time being this weekend and I nearly freaked out because I was thinking we'd lose an hour!!
6. I was obviously mistaken though, and instead we'll gain an hour... this is wonderful and I'll take every extra hour I can get on that morning.
7. I don't think DH ever even invited his Mom to the Baptism/lunch and I can't say as I'm too upset about it.
8. I have a new diaper bag that I got on clearance at Target a few months ago and I've really been enjoying it.
9. My coat shrunk in the dryer and I'm really irritated about it.
10. I usually NEVER put anything I really like into the dryer for this very reason, because I have the worst luck at shrinking things even though the tag says it's safe to dry. This time I forgot though.1. I had a delicious lunch at panera and now I just want to sleep.
2. Probably because I have a headache too
3. DD had so much fun last night, she was the cutest Minnie Mouse around
4. Even though we had close to 100 kids, I still have a lot of candy left, I'm not sure why I bought so much!
5. I'm sure we'll have no problem eating it
6. It's such a nice day outside!
7. I have been so behind on laundry, I really need to work on that this evening.
8. My grandma is getting married on Saturday and it just dawned on me that I have no idea what I'm wearing!
9. I hope I can find something at home, I haven't been in a shopping mood lately.
10. It's November and that means it's DD's birthday month, I can't believe she's going to be 2!
1. Happy Binary Day!
2. I need to work on getting save the dates out for our wedding.
3. I should probably also get on top of making a "wedding website" with info too. Blah.
4. I bought 3 new belly button rings over the weekend (I really only wanted one, but it was buy one get 2 free, so what are you gonna do?)
5. I keep forgetting at night to change my belly button ring over to a new one. Getting the old one off will most likely take plyers to unscrew the knobby thing.
6. I have been wearing the same exact belly button ring for probably, oh, at least 7 years. The only thing I've changed was changing one of the balls out once, like 3 years ago.
7. The new ones I got are teeny tiny. I'm not ready to just take it out yet, but I would like to minimize since I'm not exactly showing it off anymore.
8. Why are my hands sweating? Ew.
9. I hate it when my computer has a spasm in the middle of TTT.
10. Thank goodness the nest has an edit button.
*duplicate* stupid computer.
AWWW.. Wishing your grandma all the best!
Thanks! We are excited for her, it's been almost 9 years since my grandpa passed away. She always said she'd never get married, but she seems so happy! She's even going on a 10 day honeymoon!
I bought those on Thursday, it's seriously the best deal around! And what a good you got on the mums!
1. I'm eating a big bowl of squash right now.
2. I only gained one pound on vacation.
3. #2 is hard to believe since we ate our way through NYC.
4. Today is my first day back to work.
5. My phone ringer got turned off while I was gone. I left it that way and my desk is a happier place.
6. Our plane got delayed coming home because it was broken.
They got us a new one though. 
7. My boss keeps having the same group of people come out for some random meetings. I am really sick of these 3-4 guys. Doors opening, closing, using my office and/or the kitchen to talk on their cells, etc. It's a constant interruption.
8. I ordered a new phone case and I can't wait for it to get here. I think it's cute.
8. We stopped passing out candy before we ran out so we could keep some.
9. I wish I had brought some of that candy to work today.
10. My cats have been very needy since we have gotten home.
That made me smile! Thats great that she found happiness again and she is getting to enjoy a 10 day honeymoon!! Go Grandma!!!
Seems like everyone at my work had leftovers ... I have been eating candy all day!!!
I hope you don't mind if I chime in
1. I found out last Friday that I'm pregnant. I'm still freaking out. This is really terrible timing, but I'm excited.
2. Our family (both sides) are kind of being douchey about the new baby news.
3. I am so unmotivated to pack this house that I'm scared for what is going to happen in 2 weeks when it HAS to be done. But that doesn't motivate me to do anything about it.
4. DS#1 is so excited about Slurpees and snow that he doesn't know what to do with himself. He asks every day when we're moving to Michigan.
5. I'm going to miss the awesome weather here from now until April.
6. I haven't had the occasion to wear anything but flip flops, sandals and heels in four years. I have to buy shoes before we even leave here so I don't freeze.
7. One of our dogs is going to hate his life. We had him before we moved to Texas and he was never a fan of the winter. I'll be lucky if I'm able to get our other dog back in the house. He's hairy and perpetually hot here, he's going to love the cold.
8. I had to hide the Halloween candy from last night. I told DH it was so G wouldn't eat all of it. What I really meant is that I was trying to hide it from myself.
9. I can't believe it's November already!
10. A friend of mine had a baby this morning. 11.1.11 is a pretty awesome birthday!
You are AWESOME!!!!!!
Glad you are chiming in!
Congrats on the new baby! Sorry about the bad timing, but congrats anyway!
This is why I never let DH do laundry!
Except towels or sheets - can't mess those up!
1. I am giving blood after work today. I hope I pass the iron test!
2. I'm proud that the only candy I ate last night was a fun-size Kit Kat and a full-size Snickers. It could have been much much worse.
3. I seriously need to cut it out with the desserts lately, or I will be right back where I started before my weight loss. :::channels as much will power as I can:::
4. I forgot to take my allergy pill this morning, and I can tell! I've been extra sniffly/sneezy.
5. Last night I actually felt bored for a little while. It must have been the first time in months, literally. Normally my to-do list is so long that I don't have time to get bored.
6. Watching 'New Moon' last night made me want to read the Twilight books again.
7. I went to Amazon to see how much November's book club book was going to cost, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it is FREE for the Kindle right now. Score!!
8. I often start "Ten Things", get about halfway through, get distracted, and only remember it an hour later. Oops.
9. It's been a long time since I've updated our house website. Then again, it's been a while since we had time to work on the house. I am determined to change that this month! This weekend I replaced a light fixture that has been sitting in its box on the floor for months. Go me!
10. My SIL sent me photos of my nephew in his Halloween costume. He was a triceratops, and was unbelievably adorable. It made me so sad that they live so far away!
1. Family has gone home, so it's a bit quiet now, back to normal.
2. But, DH is unexpectedly home this week because of the snow & power outages in Connecticut. I'm glad he's here, but feel bad for any of his co-workers in the cold w/o power.
3. I vacuumed the main floor very quickly before his 2pm conference call, that's the hard thing w/him being home.
4. Sometimes the kids & I have to go upstairs if he needs quiet (I'm sure it sounds louder coming from above) and like I can tell a 3 & 1 yr old to be quiet.
5. I had to vacuum because when me IL's come they get crumbs all over & walk many places w/their shoes on that we don't normally.
6. My aunt made sour cream cookies (frosted & unfrosted) for Halloween & she left them all for us.
7. #6 is not good because they are SO good, I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks.
8. I probably should freeze some for later, unless I eat them all first.
9. Both kids are napping, even after DD kept telling me she didn't need a nap (as she's rubbing her eyes & almost yawning).
10. We're having leftover pizza for dinner, yeah for not having to cook!
That is seriously adorable!
I think you should not move the clocks back until after church, this way you'll have that extra hour to get ready! You're welcome
Sour cream cookies?! I am very interested and I don't want to google....
Congrats!! H&H 9 months to you!
I don't think it's on google, it's something my grandma made. I've tried, but can't make them as perfect as my aunt can. I don't even like sour cream, but you can't taste it, but they are sooooo delicious.
#8-Congrats to your grandma!
#10- isn't it amazing how quickly it goes by, pretty soon they'll be driving!
2. I got two 3 hour blocks of sleep last night and feel pretty darn good.
3. I'm going to try to take Ryan grocery shopping tomorrow... we'll see how that goes.
4. I only put one halloween decoration out this year. I'm hoping that we'll be in enough of a routine by december to do christmas decorations.
5. We don't have any family events planned for this weekend, I'm looking forward to hopefully relaxing a little with DH.
6. We need to finally decide on a daycare now that I've only got 2 months to go before I go back to work.
7. The two places I want to look at don't require appt's, so I think we'll try to visit them sometime friday.
8. I have changed Ryan's clothes three times today and my clothes 2 times. Ugh.
9. I had plans to make something for dinner but haven't had time to defrost the chicken yet. I guess I'm making something else.
10. I'm excited I actually have time to finish a 10 or 5 things post. Usually I either see them too late or Ryan starts crying halfway through. Yay!
Congratulations Kimmer!
I took my belly button ring out when I got pg after almost ten years of never taking it out. I pretty much just laid on the floor while dh took pliers to both of the ends (it was one of the barbell styles). There's no way I would have been able to do it myself!
No, definately chime in!
Congrats, H&H 9 months! We'll be supportive for you!
Happy 1 month b-day Ryan! Wow, where did that go to?
GL tomorrow, you'll do fine!
DH works from home 4 days a week. It's REALLY annoying if I have the day off because I have to be quiet while he's on conference calls or whatever. Luckily, that's not that often.
Ha we did the same thing! I also didn't give out my favorites (reese's peanut butter cups) to any kids so that would be all that was left
