Re: 5 Things Friday
1. TGIF!!!!!!!!
2. My coworker called in today so I have all the lights on (she likes it dark on her side) and my music up a little louder! It's going to be a good Friday!
3. I'm so glad my commute doesn't require me to take 23, DH sat in the same spot this morning for 2.5 hours!
4. Now DH is back home and I'm jealous.
5. I hope the board is active today!
1. My head hurts this morning
2. All I wanted to do was sleep in... Is that too much to ask for?
3. I got to work late this morning...
4. I blame it all on DH... He woke up late and got into the shower late, which shifted my morning routine back too...
5. I totally could have used the other shower in the house, but bed was so much more inviting!

I like my office dark, lol... But fortunately, I have my own office, so I can do whatever I want!!!
Where on 23 was there a problem??? DH drives from AA to Brighton and he was running late for a meeting this morning! I hope he made it!!!!

1. I am in a royaly bad mood today.
2. Someone was "kind" enough to show me some nasty commments made on an AA news article about a grant that is funding my project. Gee, thanks.
3. I don't have any plans this weekend, and I'm kind of bummed. I'd like to do something so I don't sit around and stew at the apartment.
4. I suggested going to the zoo, but DH is not excited about that. Lame.
5. I want to just go home, but I have an important meeting this afternoon.
1) This will be my last day to post for a little while. We leave this weekend and should have the internet again by Wednesday or Thursday next week.
2) I know this may sound shallow but I am a little bummed that the girls I work with didn't do anything to acknowledge my last day. I'm not too upset about it just a little disappointed.
3) I really want to buy an ipad but I don't know if I really NEED it. Once upon a time I would have just bought it because I wanted it oh adulthood you are so boring.
4) I am more excited than I should be to have Olgas when we move back
5) Today is DH's last day of work!
2. That's lame! They should have done something.
Good luck with the drive!!! You'll be glad to hear that we're not supposed to get much snow for the next few days! (Maybe just an inch or two...) And it's supposed to be in the 40's next week again.

1) I took a shower this morning and put on a clean pair of PJs. I don't intend to change.
2) I started a new crochet project yesterday and am excited to work on it some more today!
3) I didn't expect to see snow when I woke up this morning...
4) Even though I just spent close to $100 on groceries yesterday, DH wants to go out for dinner tonight. This poses a problem due to #1.
5) DS says, "beep beep!" all the time, and it cracks me up! He learned it from me (I'd say "beep beep!" to get them to move out of the way). He does it to me when I open the fridge, when DD is in his way, when he's chasing the dog around the house, etc.
Gosh how nice of them! Did they also kick you too?
I don't get some people and how they think showing you something like that would be a good thing??
Sorry they were jerk faces.
Oh I love Olgas too!!! I'm always a little embarrassed to admit that it's one of my favorite restaurants. But whenever DH suggests going out for dinner, Olgas gets my vote, lol.
My mom bought us gift cards for there for Christmas and it was my favorite gift. I didn't even pack them in a box they are in my glove compartment waiting to be spent lol
1. I have 2 volunteer law students coming in today, which is both a blessing and a curse. I should really quit nesting and come up with a list of things for them to do, but I don't feel like it.
2. I hate walking in this kind of sloppy, wet snow. I really should have worn rain boots!
3. I think I'm addicted to air-popped popcorn. I make a bowl just about every night.
4. I was supposed to go home and help my mom out this weekend, but she's got the flu and told me not to come. I feel bad she's sick, but I'm super relieved I don't have to go. I really hate going home. I'm a terrible daughter.
5. I can't believe political adds are starting already. They're even on hulu! It's going to be a long year...
1. I went to yoga this morning and was so excited to get into some of the poses even with the extra weight! This weekend I am going to practice getting into the head stand and my side plank with elevated leg two grab.
2. I've been slacking off at work all week! It's been really, really bad!!
3. I ordered a new Nike gym bag from my favorite running site and they sent me 3, but only charged me for 1. I am keeping all 3. go a head, judge me.
4. I am using my long run tomorrow morning as an excuse to make pancakes for dinner tonight.
5. I must go shopping this weekend for new pants. I think I am going to buy a bunch of flare & boot cut yoga pants and pretend they are dress pants for work. No one will know the difference since I wear long maternity tops anyways.

1. I found a double stroller yesterday at Target for 50% off, I was so excited!
2. I'm glad today is Friday!
3. I've eaten out way too much this week.
4. My weather app says today is supposed to be sunny, it looks awfully gloomy out to me.
5. I hope I can continue to organize at home this weekend like I did last weekend!
The accident was 23N at Michigan Ave. DH gets on at Willis Rd and Michigan is the next exit so he sat between the two for 2.5 hours!
LOL, I bought myself a gift card.
They were having a sale, something like $40 for a $50 gift card, and I know we'll spend it, so it seemed like a good way to save some money.
Just do yourself a favor and don't look up the nutritional information. My usual has a shocking number of calories in it. And yet I eat it anyway...
1) I am so glad it's Friday! We are heading to Chicago for the weekend and I am SUPER excited! I really hope we get to go to the Bean. I've never been and have always wanted to take pictures in front of it.
2) I still haven't heard anything more about the job I interviewed for on Tuesday. I am sure that have other candidates that applied for the position, but I still am getting nervous
3) I am trying really hard to drink more water everyday, but I am a little worried that it will make us take longer getting to Chicago
4) I made myself another peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch and I am extremely excited to eat it!
5) I am really hoping that I will be able to get my run in this weekend. I am supposed to run Mon/Wed/Thur/Sat. I have ran all of the other days, but it will just really depend on time. We really don't have a schedule for the weekend, so everything it all up in the air.
I looked once and will never look again! It is horrible for you but so yummy...
Hehe!
1- Have fun! I love Chicago!
2- It is the worst waiting to hear about a job. No news is good news but hopefully they get it all figured out by the end of the day today.
Hm... That is right where DH gets on the highway. I wonder if it affected his drive. Hopefully he made it to work on time!

Thanks! I will keep that in mind
It's so terrible! I am hoping to get all of my water in before I leave from work around 3. haha
Good luck on your trip home! I would be a little bummed if my work didn't acknowlege my last day too. I don't think it's shallow.
Hmm...Olgas....
1. I usually decide I don't like my clothes when I need to start thinking of what to pack for a trip.
2. I will end up shopping at lunch because of this.
3. I may or may not have already been shopping online this morning.
4. Bought some cute boots that I hope look as good and feel okay irl.
5. Crap, my boss just pulled into the parking lot. It was such a nice morning too.
. brookie's cookies & more . miss wayne county . pinterest .
1. I'm sick of the teething process and am tired of getting up multiple times at night and at 5am.
2. I'm thankful we're on our last tooth for ? years. When do they get more teeth in after the 2 year molars? Anyone know?
3. This getting up at 5am is throwing my schedule off and I haven't gotten to the gym since Wednesday morning---> which shows in my mood, way too much.
4. I went to a MOPs group at my church today. I wanted to go with Kristine, but Mondays seem to be hard for us to get into a routine of going anywhere in the morning. I'm hoping some of the moms there are part of the church and can help us meet some new people at the church to start doing some couple things. Dh needs friends too, right?
5. I'm trying to figure out what 'diet' I want to change my eating to. I don't want to 'go on a diet' just change my eating habits entirely. I need to figure this out because it's my "February Resolution".
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
1: I had a conference for work yesterday and today.
2: I snuck out at 3:00 yesterday and 10:30 today.
3: Im trying my first Pinterest recipe today...chicken tortilla soup!
4: I just ate Beefaroni for the first time since I was a kid. It was delicious but I'm pretty sure I'll have heartburn in about 10 minutes.
5: We are starting baby's registry, and I'm already overwhelmed by it!
1. A week or two ago I was told I was getting out of work at 3 today. Yesterday or Wednesday I was told it was going to be noon. I got out of work today at 1. It's still earlier than usual, but it's annoying.
2. DH woke up late (at 5, when he had to be at work at 5:30...) and I couldn't fall back asleep so I did homework this morning.
3. I'm "catching up" with TN, FB, email, etc. since I haven't been on the computer all day (except for HW before work). I should be doing more homework..
4. It's super slushy outside!
5. HEADED TO CHICAGO SOON!!
I'm not your size, but based on what I know about you, I bet all of your clothes are stylish and really nice --- have you ever thought about taking them to a consignment shop? You could probably make a decent amount of cash!
