Re: good monday morning!

  • Good morning!

    Jenn - glad your weekend was so fun!

    I had a really low key weekend. I finally feel a lot better today but felt like death for the past week. Went to Ikea on Saturday, then church, football and the gym yesterday. After all of the long holiday weekends, it sucked to only have two days off... but there is a 3 day weekend at the end of this work week at least!

    Hope everyone has a good Monday :)

  • Good morning. I'm glad you had a good baby shower Jenn!

    I didn't get much done this weekend, so I already feel behind this week. I'm really down this morning and I don't know why. I'd really like to go home after my reference desk shift, but I don't think I can do that. Hopefully the day will turn around. I do have some stuff to get accomplished so maybe I can distract myself from feeling down.

  • glad the baby shower went well Jenn!

     Well after a week of vacation and 2 weeks before that of downtime at work, H and I were dragging this morning.  I'm still feeling pretty tired, but hopefully I can wake up and start to be productive soon!

  • Our weekend was okay. The Saturday night dinner at Ivars turned out exactly as I expected. 

    Sunday I wasn't feeling well so I laid around part of the day then took down the Christmas tree and cooked dinner. 

    I'm pissed off this morning because DH was supposed to go to Wenatchee for work tomorrow, plan was to drive up that morning have the meeting and drive back - but he woke up to an email that the meeting is at 7am.  Now him and his guys are driving over tonight after work - and I wont see him.

  • Good morning, all! <3 Happy Monday!

    I'm glad you had a fabulous shower! Mine was Saturday and was also really lovely. Amazing to think we're a month out now!

    I have a TON of laundry (mostly baby stuff, but also post-vacation stuff!) to do, and badly need to clean, oog. And I'm sooo tired. :(

     But, hey, it's going to be a good day anyway. :D

  • Good morning everyone!

    I had a really nice weekend. Basically wanted to just have a restful, relaxing weekend, and totally succeeded. We had friends over for dinner on Saturday, and DH cooked an amazing meal. The courses were: beef consume; sous-vide lamb lollipops with a red wine reduction made with garlic confit, served over carmelized sunchokes; apple cider popsicles with st germain foam. 

    Sunday DH and I went out to dinner (he needs one day a week to not cook :P). The rest of the day I just lounged around, walked to the coffee shop, played some xbox, and got some laundry done.

  • I went to the Seattle Wedding Show for my BF wedding. We got her in a dress, so it was a success for us. H had bkb from 10 am to 5pm, but he took her over to his parents all day, so I feel like that was cheating. I want him to experience what it is like for me all day at home with her. Oh well, he will soon enough when I go back to work.

    Have a great monday everyone.

  • Good Morning!

    The weekend was pretty good.  We spent tons of time as a family and it was really nice.

    So far this morning, I have been trying to get the finances done and my chores done while Tillman is trashing the rest of the house.  I'm frustrated to say the least, but he goes back to school next Monday and I don't want to bark at him the whole time.  We are leaving for a play date in a few minutes, so that should help.

    Dieting is making me grouchy.

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
  • Good morning! Regular Monday, work till 8. Saturday I worked a couple of hours. Sunday I had lunch with a friend and then we went to Payless and I bought two pairs of shoes for $20. They were having a everything must go, store closing sale. I did laundry when I got home and that was pretty much it.

    DH had to work till 1 am this morning, which sucked! Hopefully that won't happen too often.

    Have a good day!

  • Spent the entire weekend cleaning/de-bugging/throwing out stuff.  It was exhausting and we have more to do.  I don't want to jinx us, but I think we're winning the battle.

  • Good morningish. Had a decent weekend - we're just about finished with our week 1 home organizing challenge in time to start week 2 today. We just have a little spot of counter left to finish and it had to wait as I was putting a few layers of conditioning wax on the wood where that stuff will live. This week is INSIDE the kitchen cabinets and drawers, oh goody! The weekend was spent running silly errands (me) at Joanne's where I spent as much on fabric for my sister's present than if I had just bought it outright and successfully found the basic gray skirt and gray cardi I'd been needing at H&M, where I rarely find anything I want.

    Work was insane last week and while it should be better this week, we've had intermittent Internet and phone access since Friday when they were replacing several poles on our street. Then apparently the Firewall died Friday night so it's bizarre who has access and who doesn't, it's on a workstation basis! AND...we've been asked no games or social networking sites like FB..I'm going through my withdrawals! LOL.

  • Good afternoon!  Today is a super weird day.  I woke up feeling fine and did my regular morning activities, and then I threw up my breakfast Sad It was my regular yogurt and granola, so I'm not sure what was up with my digestive system this morning.  I came to work, because other than the random barfing I feel fine.

    This  weekend DH and I signed the contract to our new apartment, and we will be moving in 1 week.  This week will involved lots of packing/organizing/cleaning.

  • Hello! I stayed up way too late last night, not that it matters too much, I work evenings. But I always feel weird if I sleep in too late. I couldn't stop reading my newest book, which I ended up just finishing, Stephen King's 11/22/63. It's about time travel and the Kennedy assassination and it was AWESOME! He's always been one of my fav authors.

    Not much else for today. Just work and being lazy. Have a great rest of the day ladies!

    We had a low key weekend as well. My Gmom got transferred to a really posh rehab facility to continue her recovery so we visited her for a while on Saturday. On Sunday I spent some time with my Dad since he has been spending so much time by himself or with my Gmom so that was nice. We're working on our relationship so it's good to spend one on one time with him.

    I got great news from my boss this morning. The partners of my firm have agreed to continue paying my health insurance premiums while I'm out on maternity leave for 3 months. This means so much to me. I understand that as a small firm they can't afford my salary while I'm out. But I was so hoping they would continue paying my premiums just because they think I'm worth it. And they do!

    This afternoon I have a really exciting OB apt. I'm at 12 wks and 3 days so I get a new u/s and get to hear the heartbeat and have all my questions answered that I've been building up for the last 4 weeks since I've seen my Dr. Tomorrow I'm going to go "public" with the pregnancy if today's apt goes well...which I'm sure it will :)

     

    This is so barely  related but it reminded me of when my coworker quit a few years ago due to melanoma and my (usually) cheap bosses at the time paid her health insurance until the end. They didn't have to and I just think it shows how much people are appreciated sometimes!
