Three Things Thursday
Because "Ten Things Tuesday" and "Five Things Friday" just aren't enough for me.
1. Watching Emma open up her birthday present (a dollhouse with furniture) this weekend was an awesome feeling. She was so excited. 
2. She said "Oh my gosh! A dollhouse!! This is my favorite dollhouse in the whole world." 
3. My diet for the three days following her party on Saturday consisted of leftover pizza and birthday cake.

Re: Three Things Thursday
1. Im going to a "Holiday Mingle" tonight at a spa with Latte. Im quite looking forward to it.
2. With DH's permission, Im using his money to buy myself and my MIL gift cards (they are goign to be discounted) to this spa as Christmas gifts, so her and I can have a spa day sometime soon. I know she is going to need it.
3. Tomorrow is our Christmas dinner at work. I work in a small office, its just me, my boss, and another psychologist, so instead of a company party, my boss takes us all out with ouru families for a holiday dinner. Im looking forward to that was well. I need to de-stress.
1) I have to give my cat Xanax now because she is so high strung.
2) I have no idea what to get anyone for Christmas.
3) DH and I are going to feed the ducks today and I am ashamed to admit how excited I am to go do this.
Dont be ashamed. DH and I were at Frankenmuth a few weekened ago and there was this huge group of ducks outside of one of the stores. One of them woman who worked there went outside with a bunch of duck feed and walked across the street. All the ducks followed her and she fed them. Once the food was all done, they followed her back across the street and were just hanging around outside the door.
I asked her about them and she says they are there every day, waiting for food. I sat and watched the whole thing for a good 15 minutes. DH didnt understand my amusement by it all.
I love this!!
1. I really want to get a fence for our dog before this baby comes (don't want to be taking her out with a baby in my arms) but it's a chunk of change and would cut into my maternity leave savings. Not sure what to do.
2. I baked a coconut cake and brought some for lunch. What a treat! Thinking I'll bake some Christmas cookies this weekend...maybe.
3. I don't know what to get DH as a big, exciting gift for Christmas this year. He is so good at coming up with gift ideas and I'm not!!
1. My credit card statement is a bit scary right now because of Christmas. Transferring the money to pay it will make me want to cry and we aren't even done shopping.
2. Despite #1, I plan on spending money tonight at the spa with Sassy on a big gift card for me. The freebies that come along with it are too hard to pass up.
3. I rationalized it out by adding up what I spend in a year at the spa anyway on haircuts, brow wax, products, etc. That made me sad too. I suggest never adding that up.
1. I'm hungry but not in the mood to eat. Nothing sounds absolutely appetizing. My stomach keeps growling. Ugh. I thought this lack of eating would end once the wedding planning was done... Oh well. I don't mind weighing in the 130's again and wearing smaller clothes.
2. I really like when there's snow on the ground and the sun is shining. Don't ask me how I feel about long, cold, dark winters though.
3. Ritzy's post about Emma reminded me of Bubba (his name's Brody but he's called Bubba), the 3 year old I nanny.. he totally called himself adorable yesterday. It's so difficult to get mad at cute kids!
1. I have all of my xmas shopping done, except for DH and I have no idea what to get him
2. I like Three things thursday much better than 10 things tuesday, lol... Much easier.
3. I could really use a nap right now....

1. My office door at work is closed today for a very good reason.
2. I am beyond frustrated with a work situation, and it's going to have to get worked out soon.
3. I need to go grocery shopping tonight. I have been too busy to even go lately, but it has to get done. I'm sure going to Meijer will help my mood tonight.
1. My director just talked work with me during my lunch. I HATE that. I'm on lunch because I want a break. Don't talk to me about work.
2. I took an hour lunch instead of 30 minutes because I'm counting the half hour I got talked at about work as work.
3. I am excited to go to Nia tonight!
This is so precious!
1. I am tired, guess I shouldn't have stayed on the computer late last night.
2. Didn't go run errands this morning, today is a stay inside day.
3. DD can get me upset one minute hitting her brother (which she rarely does) & then the next makes me laugh as I hear her reading a Dr. Seuss book (Green Eggs & Ham) to her toys.
Me neither.
This is the #1 reason I procrastinate on Christmas shopping.
1. My Christmas tree has been up for a week and it only has one ornament on it (my mom gave it to DD the other day and she hung it on there).
2. I haven't been feeling well all week, so hopefully DH will help me decorate it this weekend.
3. I can't believe it's December 1st!
1. I am sooooooo tired today. And I know it's all my own fault for staying up until 1am doing who knows what.
2. I was so out of it this morning, I almost put the coffee grounds in the coffee maker where the water is supposed to go. That would have been quite the disaster!
3. Only 5 more days until DH turns in his thesis. Then he can quit writing 24/7 and I can get some help with chores again! And hopefully I can quite watching TV with headphones on, lol.
So cute! I love it. And your diet sounds really good right about now.
1. I got so much Christmas shopping done today! And I am so excited!
2. DH has a really bad headache and there is nothing I can do to make him feel better
3. I want to get my Christmas cards out by next week, but I am not sure if that is going to happen haha
