Re: Thirsty Thursday Randoms

  • Morning.  I have a crazy idea this morning to paint our ugly bedroom furniture orange.  Or maybe turquoise.

  • Morning. I'm excited for tomorrow. DH and I are going to The Homestead Resort. I've been invited to take a cooking class there for my blog.

    when I was living on my own in a rental I painted the kitchen cabinet doors 70s orange and green. I thought it was fun but no one else seemed to like it ;-)

    LOL, this is hilarious.  I can't say I'd be too thrilled as a landlord.  Ha!

    Fun! I would love to take some cooking classes.  

    Painting furniture always seems like a good idea, but then when I'm sanding for hours it becomes less fun lol.  I'm so lazy!

    I used Priceline.com to book a hotel for Chicago this sunday (overnight stay near Ohare to make sure my brother gets on hi flight ok), and got a 4 star hotel for $50 a room.  SWEET!

    Ugh I hate shots - they always make Ben fevery and clingy.  Hope hers go ok!

    They are scary!  Hopefully Renee handles them like T - no tears and is fine immediately after.  I'm so blessed.  :)  Good luck!

    I always had a pit in my stomach the day of doctor appointments even though I knew my kids would do well. i'm dreading this summer when Allison has to get several for school.

    Her first round were rough.  I'm hoping she does better this time. I'm giving her some Tylenol before, and I'll have a bottle to give her immediately after.  *fingerscrossed*

  • I've got Backstreet Boys on as a Pandora station.  It's pretty fun.  So nostalgic.

    Luckily the landlord was my Dad :-) It was an old house on the farm. 

  • Henry is doing yoga with the Sesame Street monsters while I'm doing some class work.  I'm not sure who is more funny to watch doing yoga: Telly or Henry.

    Shot day here always means a good nap that day.  Hope it goes well, WOP.

  • Hmmm, speaking of shots.  T's birthday is next Saturday and I'm fairly certain I haven't scheduled his 2 yr well visit.  Kids have one at 2 yrs, right?  I should call...
  • Cool, he already had an appointment. 

    I really need to start utilizing my phone's calendar better.  Embarrassed

    Perfect!  Hehe.

  • Des&Mol: yup.  Give them a call.  I'm the same way.  Willa's birthday is in April.  As a result of me not setting up the appointments earlier, her well child visits are now in June.  Be sure to have them spaced correctly.  My insurance will not cover a well child yearly check up if they are closer than 365 days apart.

    I remember at the end of Willa's 2 year check, the doctor said no well childs until she turned 3.  After those 3 every 3, and then 6 month appointments, It was freeing and weird to not be at the doctors as often

    What, really?  That will suck.  I remember his well check last year was Jan 17th.  This year its Jan 16th.  I will be really upset if it's not covered!

  • Jim went to a business expo in TC in the fall.  He put his business card into a few bowls, and one was for a prize.  He knew he won something, but didn't know what.  Yesterday he was up there for work and brought home a gift basket.  In it:

    crackers and cheese spreads, snack nuts, huge bottle of smart water, Gwen Frostic stationary, placemats, wine glasses, a big bird house, a water bottle, a travel coffee mug, and 6 bottles of TC wine.

    Awesome prize!

    And yes, it's definitely starting to feel weird (and you're right - freeing!  hehe) that he goes less and less.

    Awesome indeed!

  • I'm a bit late getting on here. After getting home from taking SS to the bus I promptly returned to bed and stayed there until 10am. I have since taken down the outside Christmas decor and pick up some lunchmeat and yummy sourdough bread. I DID NOT go to the gym because I hurt. My shoulder muscle are revolting against exercise.

    We received notice that our house is going to be auctioned Feb. 1st 2012. So at the very least we now know we have 6 months left here.
