Re: TGIF

  • Good morning!

    No weekend plans here. Bri & I may go to the mall shopping tomorrow. I need to pick up a ring I had sized & make a stop to Sephora. I won't mind a lazy weekend. :o)

  • Weekend plans are kind of up in the air. I'll know later this afternoon. 

    How are you feeling today Mol?

    I made a Target run this morning and discovered that I needed Valentine candy. My intention was to find new slippers for DH but they didn't have his size so I guess I'll order online from Zappo's or some place.

    It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I didn't even know this excited. 

    It is also Chocolate Cake Day.  

  • We're supposed to go skiing tomorrow.  But SIL's BF has been sick this week, so it may get postponed.  Not sure yet.

    H got me a ring for Christmas, and we dropped it off a couple weeks ago to get sized.  And now...it probably won't fit me for a year!  Boo hoo.   We still haven't picked it up...but there is no rush now...

  • Kasa, Are you still following the cruise ship story? Did you hear what the cruise ship company is offering the passengers? $14,400.

    I feel great, thanks.  :)

    What kind of V-day candy did you get?

    Awww, what a bummer.  Can you go without the BF?

  • I have no plans this weekend other than to clean and sleep.

    I scrubbed all my toilets last night, in preparation for morning sickness.  H laughed at me.  Smile

    Conversation Jelly Belly's, Laffy Taffy, and Mini blow pop with out sticks. They are in the shape of hearts. Oh and Turtles!! 

  • So, there's this guy who sometimes stands by the curb in front of a church on my way to work and holds signs for people driving by to see.  He's been doing this for a long time -- a couple of years maybe?  I used to see him quite often, like once or twice a week.  It's much more rare now -- more like once every two or three months.  His signs are always uplifting.  Sometimes they're religious (today's was "Go with God's blessing"), but usually they're not ("Have a nice day!"). 

    It's such a weird and random thing, but seeing these signs totally make me happy.

  • Morning! Love your avatar Molly:-)

    "Weekend" plans include not falling asleep in my 9AM Saturday class, and trying not to be called on in my 9AM Sunday class. I do get to meet my first client and do her intake tomorrow afternoon. I called her last week to confirm her appointment and she is a talker! I'm going to have to figure out how to keep her on track.

    Bryan is coming home tonight. His cousins are doing a game night but I'm sitting it out. I just want to sit at home in my comfy pants...and eat unhealthy food.

    I know that guy. I see him too and usually wave as I pass by. If you wave he smiles and waves back. I think he is the pastor of that church. I started seeing him there after the church switch to a different denomination.  

  • Molly, I think we would wait and go another time if BF doesn't feel up to it.  SIL wouldn't go without him, and the point was to go with him. 

    Deeder, I hadn't heard that about the cruise ship.  Interesting.

    That's really cool.  Smile

  • My day just went from being good to being crappy. Bri kept saying she wanted to go to the GRCM for her bday party. Well 2 weeks ago I decided she was serious & found out they had 2 openings the weekend we wanted. I had to talk to Ben about which opening would work. Well ever since then I've had a horrible time getting a hold of someone. Today I finally talk to someone & they are now all booked up for the month. :o(  Bri is going to be so heart broken and now I need to find a place to have a party. UGH!

    Yep, yep.  I assumed he was the pastor too, but I have no idea.  I always wave at him, and he waves back.

    Oh yum. 

  • I decided to try the green monster smoothies.  I had my first one earlier this week and my second one today.  They're just meh.  Not bad, but I think I need to refine my recipe.  It kind of tastes like a spinach smoothie, and I was hoping the spinach taste would disappear.  Also, the spinach doesn't totally blend in, so it's slighly crunchy.

    Green monster experts -- am I doing something wrong?!

  • I woke up extra early this morning with no reason other than my body was like "Dude your done sleeping....NOW!!" So I added 11 more people to my twitter account to follow. I'm still not sure how I feel about twitter or tweeting or getting tweeted at.
  • Mol - I love that you scrubbed your toilets for that!

    I have to pick up some valentines props and do a quick shoot with Ben soon. I haven't taken pics since Christmas so maybe this will get me out of my funk. 

    Kasa - I blend the heck out of my green monsters, but I use a food processor. Mostly I make PB Banana ones, so I add the spinach and milk first and blend until smooth, then add the Banana and blend again, then PB last and blend more.  I don't use ice either, so maybe that helps?

    How old is she going to be?  What about the Blast Factory?  Ben will be 3 in April and he LOVES that place.

  • My weekend plans include cleaning, finishing some painting, and buying new running shoes.  Exciting stuff.

  • I have a tiny headache.  That's annoying.

    Use fresh, baby spinach. Also we use a lot of berries in ours (at least a half cup). To get it smooth we use the "crush ice" option on our blender. I know we made them with a friend's blender that wasn't very powerful & the spinach didn't blend well. We also layer ours with the lightest on ingredient on the bottom & the heaviest on top before blending. That seems to help weigh everything down.

    She'll be 3. Blast Factory was our original idea but I didn't like the price options or the fact they won't let you bring in your own food. They seem to charge you extra for everything for parties too. We may have to go with that any way.
