Ten Things Tuesday

Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • imageemarston1:

    2.  DH and I have been e-mailing each other more throughout the day since the wedding.  We used to rarely talk to each other at work but I really like the communication.  Even if it's just something funny that happened or something weird his co-workers say.  It makes me smile to see an e-mail from him.

    4.  Over the weekend I started reading Suze Orman's Woman and Money and I really like it so far.  Ever since buying the house, I've had a lot of anxiety about our finances, retirement, kids, cars, budgets, etc.  So her book has really helped me put things in perspective and make me realize we aren't nearly so bad off as I imagine us to be.

    5.  I have to go to the dentist tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. Confused

    10.  I seriously was THRILLED when I came home and the door was fixed.  It made my day.

    2 - Super cute.  I get 'lonely' when I haven't talked to DH for long periods of time (as in, he leaves at 5am when I'm sleeping and I go straight to class and don't see him until 10pm and we only send a couple texts). 

    4 - It's nice having a book to reassure you. I'll have to check that out.

    5 - Why not? I'm waiting for Groupon to go to the dentist (don't judge me..)

    10 - It's the little things that count! Yay!

  • 1. Stayed up way to late last night watching the Bachelor on my dvr. I am now paying for it!

    2. New job training starts this week, nervous, but excited!

    3. speaking of new job, I Ordered a new lap top, in hot pink of course ....  to use for work and just received my confirmation it was sent out today.

    4. would be nice if it arrives by Thursday so I can take it to training with me rather than this old jalopee hah! 

    5. I put in a request to be featured on groupon a little bit ago.

    6. Today groupon called and they are going to be running my ad around the 15th of Feb- Im super excited!

    7. I hope this groupon is worth it and generates as much business as I am expecting/hoping for.

    8." Dream big", its what keeps me motivated! I have a shared studio space in Ferndale @ 9 mile rd. Hoping for business to take off so I can lease property space downtown Rochester one day!

    9. Its not even noon yet and cuddlebug and I have already colored, played with her match game. I took her downstairs to ride her power wheels toy and play in the play house, we also drank tea, and dress up! haha

    10. On that note its nap time and got to get her lunch ready right now- she will be waking up shortly. Happy Tues Ladies =)

    4. Thursday we're going on a double date with my friend and the guy she met on pof.com ... at Dave and Busters! Man, I love their scooby snack shots.

    I love Dave and Busters and I am ashamed to admit I have spent way too much money playing that Wheel of Fortune coin pushing game :-/

    The scooby snacks are good, but I LOVE the alien secretion! 

    I went there in October but since then, I haven't been in about 4 years. I'm really looking forward to it.

    I'll have to check that out!

  • 1. I apparently burned the top of my mouth on something over the weekend because it is very painful to eat ANYTHING

    2. No news on the job yet... still keeping my fingers crossed

    3. Yesterday was very hectic, so I am glad to have a little break after work today

    4. DH got a new phone yesterday and I absolutely loved how happy it made him Yes

    5. Everyone in the office went to lunch so I am here by myself for at least 45 minutes

    6. It is hard to believe that tomorrow is Feb 1st! It's also my nephews 2nd birthday... where did the time go?

    7. Re: nephew's birthday.  SIL/BIL threw him a birthday party this past weekend, and never bothered to call and see if we would be available that weekend.  (We were in Chicago which we planned about 4 months ago).  Come to find out, they called ALL of the other aunts/uncles to see if they were available... I'm a little angry about that.

    8. I went to the gym last night for my free training session with the trainer and I am SORE today.  She literally worked what feels like every muscle in my body.  I wish I could pay for a personal trainer, but I just don't think the money is there. 

    9. I absolutely love yogurt! Especially the lemon cream pie yoplait flavor!

    10. I feel like I should have more to do today, but I guess I really don't.  Weird.

    1 - Hot coffee?

    7 - I'd be offended. I wouldn't care if they planned it on a weekend I was busy (you can't make everyone happy), but they didn't bother asking YOU when they asked everyone else.

    8 - What a great feeling! I thought you were seeing a PT once a week?

    9 - Mmmm... I should really check that flavor out for DH. Smile

    8.  I'm probably the only one on here who watches the show Make it or Break it, but I heard it comes back in March and I am way too excited about that...lol.

    I love this show!  I watch it on hulu sometimes!  I'm glad it's coming back too!

    Im guilty of watching it too.  Im excited that it is coming back! 

     Yay!  I'm glad other people watch it!  I don't know anyone IRL who watches it, I think it's such a great show!

  • 1. The last few mornings Lily has woken up with tiny little knots in her hair from sleeping. Confused

    2. They're hard to comb out so I've had to cut a few of them. Sad

    3. It appears to be quite sunny out today and that's making me happy. Cool

    4. Our Pre-Construction meeting has finally been scheduled and I'm really excited to get things rolling on the house!!!

    5. Last night was Emma's first class of "Twinkle Stars Gymnastics" and it was a very cute experience all around. Big Smile

    6. I want to make Valentine sugar cookies but have hardly any space in my kitchen to do so, so I have to make them with my Mom at her house if I want to. Broken Heart

    7. I resolved at the New Year to start losing some poundage, but this has yet to happen.  I think I've gained a lb. HmmPizza

    8. As usual, I have no idea what I'm going to make for dinner tonight. Embarrassed

    9. We have a ton of shows on my DVR that we need to watch.

    10. "Restaurant Impossible" has become one of our favorite shows to watch lately.

    4.  We went to a friend's suprise bowling party on Saturday, it was fun and I actually bowled pretty good! 

    6.  I really, really, really need to get an oil change. 

    4 - How exciting! (the surprise part AND bowling well)

    6 - Likewise. I just don't feel like it, or cannot find the time.  

    It actually was a surprise too, he had no idea, so that made it even better! 

    I know, I really need to just make myself, maybe later this week...

    6. My current (old as of next week) director came up to me yesterday to let me know he was bummed I was leaving the dept.  He asked if I'd be interested in coming back if he were allowed to let me do the 32 hour work week (I had to leave the dept in order to cut back on hours).
    7. I have no idea if I will ever be allowed to do the short week in my current (soon to be old) dept, but its nice to know he'd like me back if I could.

    Aww, that's so sweet!  It's so nice to feel appreciated. Smile

    Do you think you're going to like your new department?

    I'm sure it'll be fine.  I'm moving from R&D to manufacturing, but I'll probably play a bigger role in redesigning some of our kits rather than just manufacturing, so it probably won't be so incredibly different day to day.  Just going toward a different purpose.

    5 - Aww, how exciting! 

    6 - I am considering making cookies too. Space isn't the issue. Finding time IS.

    7 - You can do it! Stay focused!

  • 1. The last few nights DD has decided to wake up not once but twice and scream and cry in her crib... last night she won and got to come into bed with us...
     
    2. I had a talk with her this morning on how unacceptable this behavior is, but she is 19 months old she had no idea what I was saying...
     
    3. Between work and planning this benefit dinner for my niece I never have any time to get on the nest..
     
    4. That makes me sad...
     
    5. Having a sick niece had really put things into perspective for me, and I really should never complain about things like number 1. My DD is the #1 most important thing to me and I am so thankful she is healthy!
     
    6. I am getting a small bonus this week and I haven't told my DH about it, and I don't plan on telling him.
     
    7. I realize I want a iphone badly, my phone contract isn't up for awhile and I can't afford to pay full price for a phone, so I am stalking ebay for one..
     
    8. I am on WW but haven't been doing so good, and last night I got a big bag of M&M's and my DH ask what they are for, I lied and said for DD and her potty training..
     
    9. DH is clueless because he said ok,  you would think he would know when I start potty training DD?!?
     
    10. I can not believe today is January 31.. This month went by so fast..

    2 - I do this to a 7 and a half month old..

    7 - Yay for the bonus!

    7-8 - You shouldn't be lying to YH... but yay for bonus and M&Ms! lol

    I like that watching it too!  I use to watch the other show Robert Irvine was on, Dinner Impossible.  I notice though when I watch a lot of the time I'm staring at Robert's arms/chest, wowzers, they are huge!!!!!!

  • 1. Getting on the computer finally at 3pm, but I need to get things done during nap time.

    2. Yesterday's meltdown monday wasn't just my kids, but i melted down twice as well.

    3. I've also cried twice today so far.

    4. Most times it happens at eating times, so if my kids don't eat, I'd probably feel better.

    5. Ok, well, no, since it's pms/that time of month, I really get emotional.

    6. DH wants to use his companion miles to have me & the kids come out to CT.

    7. I don't want to, too much to do & then I'm still w/them all day, but now in a hotel w/lilttle toys.

    8. I think I'd rather take a girlfriend & get away for the weekend.  My friend has never been to Mall of America, so I'd love to take her there.

    9. Our half bath is suppose to be remodeled starting tomorrow & the guy says he should have hit done by Sat.  That would help since we're having people over Sun. for the Super Bowl.

    10. Twice this week I've put on nail polish, only to have a few nails chipped less than 12 hrs after putting it on!!!!  I need a new top coat brand I think. grrrr

    9 - *fingers crossed* it'll be done by Saturday! Any chance they could come Sunday before the game if it's not finished?

    I agree though. They're abnormally large.
