Re: 5 Things Friday
1. I don't think I've ever been happier that it's Friday! This week has been super unproductive, and I just want time to be home and get some stuff done so I can start over next week.
2. It's funny that I feel like I need time home to get stuff done because didn't I just have like a week off for Christmas?
3. It's going to be beautiful today! I'm so excited to go walk dogs at the shelter after work!
4. I took one of my kitties to the vet yesterday, and she got three shots. Today she's super sleepy, and she's not hungry at all. I know she'll be OK and it's probably just a reaction to the stress of the vet and the shots, but I'm worried about her.
5. I have so much laundry to do!
1. I just bought a ton of stuff off of thelimited.com
2. I had gift cards from Christmas, and I saw that they had an extra 25% off of their sale items, and then I checked promo codes online (like I always do for any online purchase!) and found that they had virtual dollars going on, so I got to take an additional $25 off of every $50 I spent!
3. I bought a super cute dress for work, a pendant necklace, a clutch, an infinity scarf (that is SUPER CUTE! and only $12 on sale!) and two tank tops!
4. After all of my discounts the total was $75.91. I put that all on my gift card, but had to pay $13 for shipping, which apparently you can't use a gift card for.
5. So I got almost $300 worth of stuff for $13 out of pocket!!! And I still have about $40 left in gift cards to spend there!!!
ETA: Here's a link to the scarf that I got if anyone else is interested! http://www.thelimited.com/detail/nordic-pattern-infinity-scarf/1191805 (Don't worry Ritzy, the link opens in a new window

LOVE IT.
And for $12 bucks, how could I pass it up!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
1) I have some cold/sinus thing going on and it is kicking my butt. All I want to do is sleep.
2) I don't work till 1 today and I plan on being lazy until I have to get ready.
3) I am nervous all the crazy snow is waiting for me to get home to Michigan.
4) One of my best friend's husband friend requested DH last night on Facebook. This makes me happy because hopefully he will have a guy friend to do stuff with. I have been feeling guilty that I have a huge community of people I was coming home to and he had no one.
5) Ann Curry on the Today Show bugs me. I don't like her.
1) Finally! My first paycheck since Dec. 16! Soooo excited for work to be over this week. I feel so unproductive. Someone get me a new job...
2) I'm eager to go home from work and clean like a mad woman since a friend's coming over for dinner. I like that "rush", haha
3) People are wanting my wedding items for sale! I'm SO happy to get stuff out of our spare bedroom. SO HAPPY. Plus, it's money, haha - one step closer to being debt free!
4) I'm diggin' this weather, but I hope it doesn't mean the super cold temperatures will stay in April.
5) DH and I hung out this morning before work. However, we should have eaten breakfast together - all I had was an apple. Ugh. What to eat, what to eat...
Cute! It sounds like you got a lot of good stuff! I love a good deal.
1. My cat has to have two teeth pulled today.
2. He looked shocked and miserable when I left him at the vet.
3. He has been sneezing and having other issues. And while I know it's routine, I'm nervous about him being a "senior" cat and being under anesthesia & having a sneezing issue. The vet assured me she would move forward if it was her cat.
4. We will have a family of 5 staying at our house this weekend.
5. I feel bad that my cat will have to recover when people are over, but it's when they could get him in and he was in pain.
Sorry, these might all be complaints!
1. I forgot my purse at home and feel lost.
2. My phone was in there and my concealer/powder that I always wear, so of course I feel naked without that on.
3. Luckily I have a frozen meal in the freezer at work, but I didn't bring an afternoon snack and am going to be starved!
4. I've had a sinus infection/cold for 2 weeks and it just won't go away.
5. I'm trying to plan a last vacation as a family of 3 and DH isn't really getting on board. I showed DH the resort last night online that I got from a travel agent and he started asking questions, I'm hoping this is a good sign!!!
Hahaha, we've had NO snow this year! The high is 50 degrees today! I saw guys golfing on my way home from work yesterday. At this point, you have nothing to worry about. But it is Michigan, things could change instantly.

Love good bargins, way to go
Hope you feel better! There are a ton of people sick at work and the rumor is this cold thing lasts about a month :-(
I said the same thing this morning, I hope we don't have a super late winter and it cuts into our spring/summer!
Thanks! I hope it doesn't last a month ugh.
I am hoping the weather stays nice until we make the drive to Michigan.
1. My car broke down on Wednesday- and the cost to fix it will be roughly $2000, the car is worth (at best) $2500.
2. I don't want to get a new car, but it seems silly to put that much money into a 15 year old car
3. I am really frustrated because we are trying to plan a day to celebrate H's birthday with his family and the only day that works is Wednesday. His S/BIL both work until 6pm everyday except on Wednesday, so that is the day that works best for them. The only problem is, I have WW on Wednesday until 6:30 and 7:00 is too late to go out because of my 2yo nephew. I feel like they are expecting me to rearrange my schedule for them and I don't think I should have to. I've gone to WW every Wednesday since July, this isn't a surprise to anyone that I have the meeting.
4. I am so glad it is Friday because I can just relax a little bit this weekend.
5. I am super excited to go to a baby shower tomorrow because I made her the cutest "cupcakes" out of onesies and swaddling blankets
Post pictures! That sounds so cute!
1. I didn't realize it was going to be so warm today so I threw on my usual down jacket and felt totally overdressed the minute I stepped out the door. But I was running late for the bus so I didn't have time to run back inside and change. I could feel myself sweating the entire bus ride to work and now I feel gross.
2. It's only 10:30 and I'm already hungry for lunch. What's wrong with me???
3. I somehow fried a circuit in the kitchen this morning using the microwave (and just the microwave - nothing else on that circuit was running). But the fuse didn't blow and the reset button on the protected outlet wasn't out. I'm convinced the shotty wiring in our apartment is going to kill me someday...
4. A new law student volunteer starts today.
I'm so exciting to have help again!!! No volunteers have been in since before Thanksgiving.
5. The boss just asked me to do a press conference on Monday. I feel like I can't say no, but I really don't want to do it!!! I have total anxiety about speaking in front of lots of people, especially if they're going to record it. Hopefully no press shows up.
You will do great!
Just picture them all naked!

Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!
1. I can't believe we haven't really had any snow yet this season.
2. I've never been to the zoo in Jan, but if it's going to reach 50 today, I'm getting the kids outside!!!
3. I've been up until 1am or 2am all week, I need to get back to pre-holiday schedule.
4. I've spent all week working on my new iphone.
5. I just synced 2500 songs to the iphone, but i had to change them all from an mp3 to my itunes, then organize them, etc......took all week.
1. I'm so proud of myself that I haven't cried at work about leaving DS at daycare. I'm sure its helping that DH does drop-off instead of me.
2. I'm really enjoying having adult conversations, but I'm so upset about potentially missing major (and non-major) milestones with DS. I wish I could work and still be able to be with him all the time.
3. We had to switch from a PPO at work to an HMO (PPO was way too expensive) and I'm so confused about what we have to do for the HMO. I've never had one before.
4. I had to do two loads of laundry last night because we were down to one cloth diaper and one set of pajamas for DS. I've never had to do laundry during the week before, but I guess I'm going to have to get used to that.
5. I'm so glad it sounds like I'll be able to go down to a 4-day week soon. The HR person said she'd tell me for sure by Mon or Tues, but based on who has approved it already, I'm 100% positive the transfer will go through. Hopefully I'll be able to change my schedule in the next week or so.
I hate public speaking too. Good luck!!
That is so exciting! Hope your schedule changes soon.
That's awesome! I also have a gift cards to spend there ($50 from last Christmas, $50 from this Christmas) but I have the hardest time finding stuff there that looks good on me. Glad you found some great deals!
1. Yay for Friday! I wish we had 4 day work weeks all the time.
2. FI and I don't have any real plans for this weekend, which is nice.
3. My mom called me and asked if I could drive 3 hours down to a dog show in Ohio to help her this weekend.
4. I had to tell my mom that I really didn't want to, and had to point out that she was really asking quite a bit from me to: (a) drive 6 hours round trip to Ohio, with most likely only enough compensation to cover gas; and (b) give up my entire weekend because I'd have to stay overnight.
5. I think my mom understood #4, but it still felt kinda bad to tell my mom no.
1. Found out yesterday that I have tonsillitis, which I thought was just a cold since New Year?s Day
2. Was put on some crazy antibiotic for 2 weeks, that will make me turn blotchy in the sun (which I think is normal for most antibiotics)
3. Called my ?replacement? doctor since mine was out of the office and he was just a curmudgeon, and put up a stink about changing my antibiotic that wouldn?t make me blotchy/was shorter than 2 weeks!
4. DH Is awesome and already picked up my new Rx from Rite Aid for me! Love him!
5. It?s Friday and I?m ready to kick this tonsillitis in the behind!
That sucks! I had tonsilitis last March and was sick with a fever for an entire week. Since you just though it was a cold, hopefully it's not too bad and the antibiotics will have you feeling better soon!
