Good Morning!

I grabbed a ride into work with Derek this morning, so I'm in earlier than usual.  I love how quite it is at this time of morning.

Yesterday we hit up Costco for some basics (Greek yogurt, ground beef, that sort of deal) and had hot dogs for dinner.  I mean, $1.50 for a quarter pound hot dog and a pop, you can't beat that!  Except that it made us both feel like garbage.  Now I remember why I cook most of our meals from scratch.  Bletch.  

Tonight, a more healthy dinner and work around the house!

How is everyone today?

Re: Good Morning!

  • Seriously Raynes - how is it you are already 27 weeks? Geesh your pregnancy is flying (for us anyways).

    Last night was uneventful. DH had supper ready when I got home from work.  He made pulled pork (yum), rice and broccolli.  I am so happy that so far (knock on wood) the boys love their fruits and veggies!

    Today is my weigh in.  It is going to be a close one. All I need is 0.1 and I hit my 10%, but when I stepped on the scale this morning I am not sure what will happen.  I will be taking off my sweater today since I wore a tank top under it just for my  weigh in. Ha ha.

    Anyhow, back to the grind. Have a great day ladies.

  • Good morning!

    I slept pretty well again last night but neck is sore again this morning.  Thanfully I have a massage at 1pm and hopefully that will give me some release.  I'm going to try and go for my 1 hour GTT right after that.  My OB said I only need to fast for an hour and I won't be eating while I get massaged so I figured that's a good time.

    Later this morning I'm going to go to the gym and try to get a run in on the treadmill.  If that doesn't work, I'll bail for the treadmill.  Otherwise I want to just have a lazy day and get into bed early tonight.

  • kat, tell me about it!  So much to do still!!

    beth, it's funny how different docs treat the GTT.  Some say fast, some not.  GL with that!  The drink is much less than tasty.

  • I just can't seem to shake this headache.  I fought through it last night and got some packing done, but then just had to crash and go to bed early.  Unfortunately it was still there when I woke up, although it seems to be lessening now. 

    I just got back from the doctor (which I'll post about separately!) and now have a busy rest of the day at work.  It's my last full day before holiday and still a lot to do.  We have to finish up packing and stuff tonight, and then tomorrow afternoon we're off for a blissful week of relaxation!

  • sushi - I'm intrigued with what the doc said now with your exclamation point excitedness.

    DH actually made it home at a decent hour last night, but still too late to see the bub before he went to bed. Awww. We also got 12 hours of consecutive sleep from the munchkin. So amazing. If  someone would sleep train me, I'd be all set. Another midnight bedtime. Ugh. 

    So apparently yesterday I thought it was Thursday, so let's hope for a new Grey's tonight instead. I was so confused when Criminal Minds was on and not Big Bang. I hate when my week is longer than I thought. 

    I thought I had finished crocheting my hat last night, until I tried it on, and it was way too wide. I had to pull apart most of it and start again with the edges. Oh well. More practice I suppose.

    Yeah, I'm worried that when I show up to the lab at 2:30pm they won't let me do it if they think it should be a morning thing.  I have a feeling I'm going to LOVE the taste.  Seriously.  I'm in love with sugar in a ridiculous way.

  • Good morning, ladies.

    Boot camp class - check.  I almost cried when the alarm went off, but I'm glad I got my butt to the Y.  Lunch with DH and friends today - yay!

    Have a great day, everyone!

    Eh, you should be fine. My doc said no fasting and the lab didn't even ask.  The stuff I had was like super concentrated orange drink from McD's.  Hopefully yours is cold!

  • Last night I didn't get to walk but I did get a workout in indoors. It was rainy and nasty and I had a hard time falling asleep because of the thunder which is unsual for me. I have been doing really good about waking up early and I am hoping I can start getting a work out in once I get my body use to working out again.

    Today I am going to have lunch with my BFF and DH is cooking super tonight. Should be a peaceful night and the rain should move out today.

  • Well, I've officially caught whatever crud Jim has and now I'm sick for the second time this winter.  I feel like azz and I just want to go back to bed.  Sadly, I used so much sick leave last year, that I am seriously deficient right now.  Unless I puke, I'll be staying.

    Continuing on a medical theme, when I went back to the eye doctor yesterday, I got a significantly different prescription and much closer to my old one.  Thankfully, she did not charge me for the repeat visit and the eye glasses place is redoing the lenses for free.  I just have to wait another 7 - 10 days and I should be good to go.

  • reba - I'm glad to hear that they're correcting your glasses. Having the wrong eye prescription can be torture. 

    I've been swamped at work since late yesterday afternoon. So I had to work a little late last night. Luckily I think we've finished the urgent project that came in and my life should get back to normal (until the next urgent request comes in anyway). I did still manage to get in a workout last night.

    Tonight I have no idea what I'm making for dinner. Kyle is trying to eat healthier and cut down on his carbs. Sometimes he'll get on these really weird diet kicks so I have no idea what he is or is not eating currently. Otherwise, I hope to get in a workout and go to bed early.  

  • Morning!

    Jason had a really bad day at work yesterday so he was super grouchy, it seemed like no matter what I said to try to help he just wanted to argue. I finally gave up had some leftovers for dinner and went to bed.

    Today I'm in the office for a couple of hours then I'm heading to a funeral for a close family friend. I was hoping to take the rest of the day off but with payroll due today and our insurance renewal stuff due tomorrow I have to come back, boo!

  • Leo!! I made your pasta dish last night with salmon. It was a hit. :)

    Today is going to be a long day. I have a late meeting at 7 and I know I won't get home until 8:30 Ugh. 

    It also means no walking with DH today. We've started walking every evening and it's been really nice.

  • Morning ladies.  Yesterday was a fairly easy going day.  I stopped at the grocery store and picked up a few things on my way home and B and I put together a simple but yummy dinner.  After that, we started looking at vacation options.  My parents have some free airline tickets that expire in April, which they aren't going to use.  So they are giving them to us.  So excited!  We're either going to do a cruise or just go to a resort in the Caribbean.  Right now, I think we're leaning towards the cruise.

    Snoopy, I too was all confused on days this week.  I woke up being so excited it was finally Friday, only to realize that of course it's Thursday.

    Today should be another fairly quiet day at the office.  I just have to get through a bunch of stuff, but no closings on the horizon for at least another week or so.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

  • Happy Thursday! Last night we went to visit DH's BFF and their baby. She is so cute! I can't believe Olivia was that tiny only 9 months ago. We ended up picking up burgers for all of us for dinner but I didn't eat it all so I feel okay. I did some laundry and then watched a new episode of HIMYM. Actually it's from two weeks ago but it was new to us.

    Tonight DH has a softball game so we're having leftovers for dinner. Since I can't make it to spinning I'll be going for a walk with O and Bailey. Then hopefully I can relax and watch my shows since DH won't be home.

    LOL I loved the drink. I picked up such a sweet tooth from pregnancy and sadly, I still have it.

    Awesome! Glad you liked it :) I'm feeling pretty accomplished today, I've got dinner in the crockpot, delish leftovers for lunch and I brought my coffee with me to work. I was all self-satisfied on the drive in to work thinking, "How very thrifty I am today!" Also can I just say that the Magic Bullet is the greatest thing ever. I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast and they're delicious AND filling - I'm never hungry before lunchtime.

    Now jumping domestically.

    Well that was a crazy couple of years.

  • I hate my body! for some reason if someone sneezes within a foot of me i get sick, and my bodies favorite way to try to get rid of illness is to make me tired while alternating the chills and hot flashes. Then because a cold isn't good enough for the evil in my body I am also have super fun nausia (SP)
