Happy Hump Day!

Gooooood morning!

I had a wacky dream this morning where Derek gave birth to 2 babies, but they weren't twins, it was like he'd gotten KU twice.  I blame my Pregnancy Day by Day book for implanting thoughts into my pliable pregnancy brain before bed.

Then, when I got up this morning I stepped on something wet when I walked out of our room.  The lights weren't on so I couldn't really tell what it was.  I thought that maybe one of the cats had dropped their toy mouse in their water dish and then brought it up to show us, so I picked it up.  And it was squishy.  And real.  And missing half it's head.  Thanks for the wake up Chloe!

Our plan for today is to prime the walls in the new kitchen and paint the ceiling.  Exciting!

How is everyone today?

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

Re: Happy Hump Day!

  • Yikes Raynes a squishy headless wake up is not cool.

    I am having a pretty good morning. I got up early to relax since I have a late work meeting at 7. Last night Dh and I went to Empire State South for dinner. Yum it was really good. He also got me a really awesome Chef's knife for my birthday. On Sunday we took a knife skills cooking class and he paid attention to what I liked to buy me a fancy one. Now I really want to chop things and cook.

    Hope everyone is having a great day.

    Courtneyloo how is your grandma?

  • Oh my Raynes, I would have freaked.  Yikes!

    Today is my Thursday---Yay! I am so ready for this work week to be over with. It just has been super busy for me, and I am trying to not have my desk a mess for the person covering while I'm gone. 

    Tonight - I will finish my lists (errands for Friday, and things to bring), and gather the boys birth certificates to make copies.  Seriously, I wish DH and I would have gotten the boys their own seats, I am getting anxiety just thinking about the flight.  We have  2 portable DVD players we are brining, books, and I am getting each of them a new small toy for the plane. 

    Thats about if for my boring self.  Have a great day ladies!

  • Good morning, ladies

    Nice kitty present, raynes!  eewwww.

    Craft fair today.  I'm a little excited since I have some new wares this year and might sell a decent amount.  Salsa, chai tea mix, wine bags, chili light ristra.

    Have a great day, everyone!

  • Ack! That is one hell of a wake-up call!

    Good morning, everyone. Not a busy night for me; I did get to the gym, had a quick dinner, and then watched part of the last Harry Potter movie. After that, I read for a while. 

    It'll be low key again after work; no gym, but cooking's on me tonight. So it's my old standby--bison tacos.

    Have a great Wednesday, ladies!

  • DH didn't get home last night until almost 9 and then wanted to start cooking dinner after he took a shower. Ummm..no. I was so annoyed. He keeps staying late at work and then wants to start his time at home later. I'm already ready to go to sleep for the night. I feel bad, because I know that he really can't help being late, but I really wish he would prioritize better when he is home to make the most of it. I just don't talk to him right now, because I'd probably just yell, and I know it's not really his fault.

    Tonight will be another lazy day, unless I end up with a job offer. Then it will be a great night of celebrating. I have my interview at 12:30 today at a little deli place I haven't been to yet. Wish me luck! When he called last night, he seemed really nice, so I'm not too worried. The way my friend made it sound was that he's a big ogre of a man. I was relieved to say the least. I'm also ecstatic that me and my BFF might be working together. Sucky that it's not in more of a fun environment, but oh well. 

    Cortney* Come in with an update if you can. Still sending along good thoughts. 

    Happy hump day ladies!

  • Raynes- I would have FREAKED! I hate mice!

    katsblaze- We are planning a trip to disney in september. We will be flying but thankfully its a short flight. If you have any tips when you get back please please make a good long post listing everything that could be helpful! TIA

    Today is my Friday since Jordan is having his tonsils removed tomorrow I will be out the rest of the week. MIL is coming to get preston this afternoon about 4 and he will be spending the night with her since we have to be at the hospital extra early in the morning. We are hoping to be able to come home Thursday afternoon otherwise Preston will be staying with my mom.

    Today shold be sort of quite. I am doing last minute things at work. Since Jordan won't be able to eat for a couple of days I told him we could have whatever he wants for supper tonight. he wants pizza I am so excited I don't have to cook. We will be meeting DH after he gets off work to have pizza. I am not going to know how to eat without preston screaming at me and climibing out of the high chair!

  • Yikes, raynes.  That would make me sqeemish all day!

    I've had a busy morning with meetings, and now that I'm finishing up lunch I can finally get around to doing some real work.  Nothing much going on tonight.

  • snoopy - good luck!

    I lurked yesterday but because I was having a bad day.  I had a horrible pregnancy dream (involving loss) that freaked the crap out of me and my boy cat has started marking in the house again.  I'm so worried that we will have to put him down if he won't stop.  I have all the appropriate cleaning supplies and he's even on medication but he relapsed a month ago when DH was out of town and I forgot to give him his pill.  Bad cat mom.  We blocked off the room where he was having his accident but recently found he is peeing on the gas fireplace.  I'm hoping it's because of the reflective surface and when he sees himself that he thinks it's another cat so he is marking.  I've covered up the glass and we'll see.  Fingers crossed.

    Otherwise I'm just heading off to work until 6pm.  I already went for a 5 mile run and DH has parent teacher interviews tonight so I'm on my own for dinner.  I have no quinoa or anything made up so I'll have to buy my lunch at work.  Unfortunately, my lunch is after the cafeteria closes so I'll have to go to the kiosk and get whatever they have there. 

    Have a good day.

    Snoopy good luck!

    Rxbeth vibes that your kitty starts behaving better!

    Today we're going for our weekly visit to my mom's house. My playdate friend isn't coming because her daughter is sick, so I'm looking forward to just spending time with my mom.

  • Good luck Snoopy.  Raynes, gross. RxBeth,  bad dreams suck.

    I am getting ready to study for Spanish.  That class is going to be the death of me.  Last night I did nothing.  I was so tired from the traveling that I feel asleep at like 9pm.  Tonight I am going to dinner with C and one of C's coworkers, then finding the motivation to study for a test.

  • Morning everyone.  Not much news here.  Just work.

    Raynes, I totally thought one of the cats was sick, but that was so much worse!

    Snoopy, good luck today!

    RX, have you tried Dr. Elsey's cat attract?  It really worked for me when Mies was having some litterbox issues. 

    Courtneyloo, sending T&Ps for your grandma.

  • @raynes - ew, ew, eeeewwww!  Thankfully, Rex has never found anything that he wanted to share with us.

    I played pub quiz last night and it was going really well until we got to the Period 3 rounds, in which we took a spectacular nose dive.  It turns out that we know more about professional wrestling than we do about grunge.  It was painful.

    Today is just work, work, work.  Tonight I am making the dinner I couldn't make Monday because I bought the wrong thing, even though I doubled checked it in the store.

  • Good morning! I also woke up to a gross present from my cat, but at least it wasn't nearly as bad as Raynes! I walked into the kitchen in my bare feet at 5am this morning and stepped right into a giant pile of cat barf..yuck!

    Another uneventful night for us, Jason is still sick. I can't wait for him to get better, he's starting to drive me nuts.

    I loved Spanish class! You do need a nack for it, though. For some people in our classes, it was learning how to make their mouths work right, if that makes sense.

  • Snoopy - good luck!

    I got the official rejection notice last night for that job I spent over 8 hours interviewing for. They went with someone who has held the title of Human Resources over me.

  • Good morning ladies!

    raynes - I would have freaked out. Ew, ew ew!

    Kari - enjoy your Vegas trip!

    Not much going on over here. I'll be leaving to work offsite in a bit. I expect today to be another crazy busy day at work. Tonight DH has class so I'm on my own for dinner. I'll probably just have leftover chicken and green beans from last night. Have a great day ladies!

  • It has been a long day here.  School was okay but super busy, as usual.  I got in a short run when I got home and now am waiting to hear from Ed about whether or not he'll be home for dinner.

    I can't wait for Friday...actually, even this weekend is stupid busy--I am looking forward to next Wednesday.
