Five Things Friday
1. Emma likes to play "Mommy" and I have to be Emma. It's very hard staying in character and remembering what my name is most of the time. 
2. The girls are going to my parents' house today while I do some errands.
3. I'm really looking forward to some alone time and being able to zip zip zip in and out of places without the hassle of carseats, strollers, etc.
4. I went a little crazy at the after Christmas sales buying stuff for the new house.
5. I don't have any plans for this weekend and I'm rather looking forward to it.

Re: Five Things Friday
1. I think I'm getting another cold, ug, this is what I get for going for a walk outside 3 days this week?!?!?!
2. I may need a nap today, since I don't do well the 1st night usually in hotel beds.
3. I'm hoping our drive is good, I know it's slick on the west side, we may have to detour & take the turnpike.
4. I think I should set all my clocks 2 hrs ahead, that way I actually get to bed at a decent hour.
5. I wish it was sunny out.
1) I should be packing but instead I am on the nest and watching Project Runway on DVR.
2) Everyone booking vacations is making me jealous I wish I knew where we wanted to go this year. I can't plan anything until after the move.
3) I baked cookies for DH's grandma and I keep wanting to eat them. I put them in my car to keep them out of sight out of mind.
4) I am still trying to decide if we should get cable when we move.
5) I have decided that Modern Family is my new favorite show.
1. I'm officially a MI resident and registered to vote here!
2. It went smoothly at the SOS this morning for the most part. One minor hiccup with my insurance company still keeping us as NY insurance with a MI address. Fortunately it's a easy fix over the phone with a fax.
3. The last lady to help me was awesome and told her coworker to leave her alone so she could get me out of there since I had been there for an hour.
4. I'm a little sad and disappointed my MIL/FIL aren't coming this weekend to celebrate T's bday ON his bday. It'll be the first time ever not celebrating on his birthday as a group. (also sad it's just us and them)
5. I was also looking forward to going out to date night for my birthday. It'll have to wait one more weekend.
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
1. DH was sick w/ the flu or food poisoning the other day. I was really confident that it was food poisoning because his co-worker who he had went to lunch with also had it. Unfortunately, I have some of the same symptoms today. Ugh.
2. I thought my flu-shot was supposed to prevent this! I'm kind of doubtful it's the full-blow flu, though. I feel fine mostly...
3. I had to cancel my plans to hang out w/ my aunt and her baby *le sigh*
4. I'm annoyed that this was already my day off. I would have rather used a sick-day.
5. I'm supposed to work this weekend, and I'm not sure that's going to be possible.
Sorry all this was about my current discomfort!
1. We've had a rough week this week. DS is not sleeping well, and now DH is sick - which means he's not a whole lot of help. I'm so exhausted.
2. I think we're going to start a modified sleep training this week. I can't handle all the wakeups after 2-5min.
3. I still haven't heard for sure that my dept transfer will go through. The HR rep is out of town until Mon, so hopefully she'll have some news then.
4. Everyday after daycare this week we've put DS into his exersaucer. He's a little too small for it, so I have to keep readjusting him, but he has so much fun in it and I love watching him play.
5. I keep trying to find stuff to do at work, but all the projects my boss and I come up with keep getting pushed back. I can't believe I've been back at work for 2 weeks and still have nothing to work on!
1. The snow makes me more lazy than usual (and not wanting to drive anywhere). ANDMYPANTSDRAG. that's the worst.
2. I don't like when I have the urge to work out when I cannot work out at the moment. The feeling will pass by the time I have time to work out.
3. I'm so excited to eat chocolate covered goodness tonight at the party. DH and I are thinking about using the fountain for Superbowl Sunday and adding BBQ sauce or cheese instead of chocolate.
4. DH is going out of town for 3 weeks for work. It was supposed to be February 15 - March 7 but now they may be pushing it back. I'm annoyed because I'm trying to plan things to keep myself busy while he's gone.
5. Art Van came today to look at our couch and will come back next Thursday to replace the leg. It's not a big deal and really doesn't affect anything but the look of the couch, however, I'm still somewhat annoyed that they're taking awhile.
It sounds like we may be having our GTG while he is out of town. You should come
1. My company's news years dinner tonight so instead of going home, I will stay in the area and get ready at work. I am beginning to question myself as to why I would bring a short sleeve sweater dress to wear. It's cold outside!!
2. I am really looking forward to stuffing my face at said dinner.
3. I am supposed to do a 12 mile training run w/ my dad tomorrow but I think I may wuss out and take it to the dreadmill. It's so much more pleasant running outside, but I am not a fan when it says "feels like 14". If I can't make it 12 miles straight, I will break it up into 2-6 mile runs on Saturday morning and again in the afternoon.
4. We do not have any plans this weekend other than our normal running & work outs. After the past month, it's nice not to be on the go!
5. As much as I know we need to take advantage of no plans and get things done around the house, I really want to be lazy and just watch playoff football.

1. I had a super productive morning getting stuff down around the house.
2. Now I'm sitting here deciding if I'm motivated enough to put on makeup and do my hair to leave the house and run errands...
3. or if I want to be lazy for another hour or two.
4. I haven't been on this board in ages and kind of wonder what happened to everyone. It seemed like it used to get a lot more traffic.
5. I am really looking forward to the long weekend. DH has been working a lot and I can't wait to spend lots of quality time together!
1. After work I'm meeting DH and we're looking at a house.
2. This will be the 3rd house we looked at this week and I'm actually not looking forward to it. I think I've seen too many houses that the novelty has worn off. Does that make sense?
3. Our friend from Houston is coming in tomorrow and is staying until Monday evening. He's coming for the auto show and to spend time with us. I keep trying to prepare him for the weather, but I'm sure he'll freak out when he steps off the plane.
4. A friend forwarded me a blog today and I cannot stop looking/reading it. The girl is really pretty, but something just seems off with her and her husband. The blog is The Art of Making a Baby. Anyone see this?
5. Is it 5 yet??
If that's a real blog, she is REALLY obnoxious!
I'm hoping to!
I've read it too... freakin' absurd.
That blog circulates around on The Bump. It's definitely as strange as it gets.
