Happy Thursday!

Hi folks!

How is everyone today?  Last night was much less productive than I'd have liked.  I had high hopes for a walk, until I left work to pouring rain.  Boo.

Today, I'm going to a pool euchre tournament with work, which should be fun.  I haven't been to one in quite a while, and they're usually fun!

Happy Thursday!

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

Re: Happy Thursday!

  • Good morning...  I basically went to bed at 8pm last night.  Checked for the heartbeat again this morning, found it right away and then I threw up after I got ready for work... I'm probably the only person here who feels joy when they are hugging the toilet, but based on those two things I'm feeling better today... hopefully the spotting doesn't come back and the cramps stick to growing pains.

    No other news here, just going to continue to take an easy....  thanks again for the vibes!

  • Good morning!

    Today is fake Friday for us! V gets Remembrance Day off now that he works for the government, lol.

    I think I'll be staying in today and catch up on a few tasks I've been meaning to do. I need to find time to start working on photobooks that we're going to give our parents for Christmas.

  • Also Fake Friday over here! And the boss is letting us out early, so I'm looking forward to a nice run outside in the afternoon.

    Last night was fun--I went to a happy hour to see a friend who recently retired, and then headed home to relax for the evening.

    Tonight, Josh will be home at around 9:30. As corny as it sounds, I've missed him. We did long distance for 2.5 years so this should be nothing, but I guess I'm used to him at this point. ;)

    Have a great day, all.

  • Another fake Friday here as well. Tomorrow is actually a floater for us, but daycare is closed, so I guess I'm using it. It should be interesting to be home for a whole day with LO again. I never know how to keep him entertained anymore.

    Tonight will be Grey's and Private Practice. Hopefully I can get a good night's sleep again. Last night was wonderful, but I still felt exhausted when I woke up this morning. DH came to bed at 2:30. No idea what was so important on his computer last night. I know he's been looking at possible vacations for our anniversary, so I'm excited. 

    Is it bad that the only food I brought to work is pumpkin whoopie pies and choco/peanut butter cookies? Not a good day for dieting.

  • ECHC - I'm so glad to hear that you found the heartbeat. 

    Last night was a quiet night for me. I went to bed early after too many nights of staying up late. Tonight I have a TC date to watch the episode from last night. I'm pretty excited for it. This season is looking like it should be pretty good. I also have dinner in the crockpot. I'm trying out a new recipe and hoping that it is delicious!  

  • Hey!  Today turned out to be fake Friday so we christened the 'weekend' with a little morning yoga.  The miscarriage, d&c and near constant spotting last cycle really put a damper on things, so I was feeling a little needy. 

    We are having a big fundraising gala this evening and our boss gave us tomorrow off.  First thing this morning I need to get payroll done and then it will be all gala stuff until about 8:30 tonight.  I've already started to make a list of things that I can do with my bonus day off tomorrow.

  • Happy Thursday!

    I'm manning the fort while my boss is on vacation. But it also means we have been swamped with work. I am currently building fake walls for wallpaper and moldings and carpet for a presentation next Wednesday. I am scrambling to get new samples because my client asked for more options then the 3 I have given them. I'm a bit stressed that I have to get everything done. I also have to work this Saturday. I feel like I have been working with out a break for the past two weeks and the week of American Thanksgiving will be the first break I get.

    Tonight I need to go for a run and get rid of this extra stress. I'm sad that it's dark now so I can't run outside and have to run on a treadmill. So boring.

  • ECHC - I'm so glad things are going better, and you found the HB again.  Great news, and continue to take it easy.

    Lastnight I went to my waxing.  Yay for a fresh face. Bonus, my waxer is going to start doing it out of her home. So it will cost me WAY less then going to the spa.

    Today DH and I are meeting at the Daycare I think we have decided on. I am excited and nervous.  I am anxious to see the place and talk with the director, but nervous at the thought of having to drop my boys off and leave them everyday. We are not bringing the boys since it will be a little chaotic at that time we're going.

    Have a great day ladies!

  • I'm off today and dedicating my entire afternoon to getting some stuff done around the house. I'll be keeping busy painting trim in our bedrooms, caulking around the tub in our bathroom, refinishing a dresser, and having a marathon catch-up laundry session so I actually have something clean to wear tomorrow! DH gets home at 7 and we'll also be enjoying a crock pot dinner then heading off to shop and fill up our Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes.

  • I'm jealous of all the Fake Fridays!  The day is recognized here, but not a holiday.  Boo.

    I'm leaving in about 20 minutes to head to the live taping of the Graham Norton Show, a hilarious talk show.  I've never been part of a live studio audience, and I'm pretty excited about it.

    And can I saw how much I hate the fact that it's 4:40pm here and already almost dark.  Blah.  And it's only going to get worse before it gets better.  I generally like winter, but the darkness I could do without.

  • I'm playing the waiting game. 

    I'm super jealous of everyone who is having fake Friday today.

  • So jealous of all of the fake fridays.

    On a good note this is a very quite day around work and I think tomorrow will be to. I have a short week next week and the next week so I am excited about that. I am finally feeling better today and so were the boys this morning so hopefully no more stomach virus for anyone in my house.

    I put chicken in the crockpot this morning, and since I haven't ate anything really in 2 days I am so exctied about chowing down and enjoying everyone not throwing up. I got Jordan's progress report today and all A's! So proud!

  • I'm jealous of everyone's fake Fridays too.  Although, I am taking off some extra days around Thanksgiving for our London trip, so I can't complain too much.

    Last night, I went to an event for a non-profit I do pro bono work for.  They just hired a new CEO, and she is wonderful.  It was great to catch up with everyone.

    Today, I'm working from home because I had to take Casey to the vet this morning.  He's been doing fairly well since our scare last spring, but recently things haven't been going as well.  He isn't very mobile and seems uncomfortable a lot more than he used to be.  The vet recommended tweaking his meds a bit, so I'm hoping that helps.  

    Aside from that, things here are the usual.  Hope everyone has a good day.

  • ECHC, I'm so glad you found the heartbeat. I've been thinking about you and praying everything will be okay.

    My boss is working offsite today so I have time to nest. After lunch with my friend yesterday I found out she's going thru a ton I didn't know about so I want to get a girls night to cheer her up tomorrow. I didn't do much last night except hang out at my parents house after work. By the time I got home it was time for Olivia to go to sleep and then we went to bed shortly after that. 

    Nothing planned for tonight. I have no idea what to make for dinner so I may have to get creative. We may end up with sandwiches. Have a great day ladies.
