5 Things Friday
1) I am not crazy about the house my dad found for us to rent. Its just a little rundown and not taken care of. We have no smoke alarms....
It will do until we buy a house.
2) We haven't cooked in the new house yet because its a gas stove and I have never used a gas stove before and it makes me nervous 
I know its silly but I am scared that I am going to mess up my cooking or set something on fire
3) I really want to get a new cat because it is just way too lonely coming home to an empty house. My last cat was so crazy part of me is afraid a new one would be the same and I don't want to do that to myself again.
4) I wish I could snap my fingers and all of my stuff would be put away.
5) One of my friends needed a kidney transplant and she got one this week finally after waiting for three years. I am so excited for her!
Re: 5 Things Friday
2. Gas stoves are the BEST! Don't be scared! Once you start cooking on it, you'll never want to go back to electric
1. Maybe get some smoke detectors before you start cooking on the gas stove... just in case...
3. DO IT! You could get a mellow older cat from the shelter or foster - that way you have a better idea of what you're getting.
1. I have a very long meeting this morning, but it's with one of my favorite co-workers, and we're going to the coffee shop
2. I LOVE Fridays! Dog walking after work followed by Nia!
3. I haven't ovulated yet this month, and I'm freaked out that there's something wrong with me. This is only my second month tracking O, and I have made diet/exercise changes which could be affecting it, but I still don't like it.
4. Sometimes I feel like I know too much about TTC
5. Cirque was awesome. There were so many hot acrobats... *sigh*
1. I love/hate it's payday. It's not like I'm going to see any of the money anyway...
2. I am looking forward to not working tomorrow, though.
3. If I stay on track, I think I can do really well this semester, even if I constantly feel overwhelmed.
4. I'm so happy it's already February. But I keep thinking about the future, and I shouldn't.
5. Last night was fun, but things didn't work out with my friend and the guy and I'm just bummed/disappointed. Hopefully someone will come along soon for her!
1. I vote getting smoke alarms before using a stove you're not comfortable with... but gas stoves aren't bad.
3. Rescue a kitty! Please?
5. I am SO happy for her!! Like, I can't stop smiling... this makes me so happy.
1. I wish the sun was out, not liking this gloom on a Friday morning.
2. I really need to start going to bed earlier & get good sleep.
3. But I just had to stay up & watch all the Ellen shows on the dvr!
4. Of course then I didn't get up to workout, grrr.
5. Why can't people RSVP yes or no (or even maybe), I just want to know how many people to plan for on Sunday.
I can't stand it when people cannot RSVP. One couple in particular usually waits until "something better" comes along to let us know they can't make it.
1. I have "We Built This City" stuck in my head.
2. I have not heard that song in ages, so where is it coming from?
3. I may start to blame DH for playing it while I sleep or something, but I don't want to give him any ideas.
4. A couple of co-workers stole my last bit of coffee this morning because they were out. They get here before I do.
5. The only other female here went out and bought more coffee to re-stock them and replace mine so that I would have coffee this morning. Very sweet of her. I already had some hidden, but they don't need to know that.
I hate it when people don't rsvp. How hard is it?
Have you considered getting two cats? It's really no more work for you than caring for one, and they entertain each other which cuts way down on the craziness! I initially only adopted one, and he was such a PITA for the first month when he was alone. Then I got him a kitten friend and it was such an improvement! They often have cat/kitten pairs at the shelters, and I've seen "adopt two for the price of one" deals on cats before (lol, the thought of a cat sale is cracking me up as I type this).
4. This annoys the crap outta me...
5. YAY for the lovely cw. And smart thinking for hiding it! (It's sad that you have to do that though... ugh.)
I like the idea of 2 cats, I am pretty sure that DH is going to make us wait until we buy a house though. I understand waiting so then that way we don't have to worry about paying a pet deposit. I suppose I can wait for 11 more months...
1. I had my '12 week' appointment this morning and since they couldnt find the heartbeat using the doppler, they did a quick ultra sound and I got to see the baby again! I was pretty excited.
2. I have not gained one pound yet this pregnancy. Im happy about that, because given that I am over weight I am only supposed to gain 10 to 15 paounds this whole pregnancy.
3. Its only 10am and I am ready for a nap.
4. The news just said there is a 'full blown blizzard' out west and its heading our way :-/
5. Its taken me almost an hour to finish this!
We have two cats for this reason. They keep each other entertained. And they also like to cuddle with eachother. They are so cute!
1) We used the stove/oven without issue and are now putting in the smoke alarms haha.
3) I want to so bad but I am going to have to wait for a little bit DH told me.
5) I felt the same way when I found out she got it
1. I am SO glad that it is Friday!
2. I am excited to go over to my friends house to her going away party, but I really don't want to go out to the bars afterwards. Dh does though, so I'll probably just suck it up and go
3. I really don't want to work today... But I have a bunch of stuff to do!
4. I could use a nap right now :-)
5. I'm so glad that DH's car will be fixed today and that it's not going to cost an arm and a leg to fix!!!

I saw your announcement on facebook! So exciting!!!

1-2 - How exciting! I'm so happy for you. (I started to worry when you wrote they couldn't find the heartbeat...)
3 - I could use a nap as well. And I got a decent amount of sleep last night.
1 - Same here.
2 - Same here.. again, haha
5 - That's reassuring. It's still a chunk of change that's not fun to pay, but at least it's not as bad as it could be!
5. This is kind of the best case scenario right now. We were thinking the car wouldn't be worth fixing, and we'd have to pay of the remaining balance on the loan (not a ton, but enough to make it a pain). Then we'd have to buy/lease another car. That would not have been good!
So I will gladly pay $500 to get it taken care of and make it driveable for a while longer!

It doesn't look like we will get any snow from it when I checked accuweather so hopefully we miss it!
1. I thought today was going to be relaxing, but I forgot that I had a few things I needed to do today.
2. DH and I both forgot to set our alarms last night (weird) and if my bladder hadn't decided to wake me up, I honestly don't think either one of us would have gotten up for work today!
3. I REALLY want to go workout tonight, but I just do not think there are enough hours in the day for me to do that.
4. The creepy used cigarette guy is back... I am seriously considering calling the cops. He is loitering.
5. I am so glad it's Friday and I am PRAYING I hear back about the job today!!
2 - Yikes!
3 - I know the feeling all too well...
5 - GOODLUCK! *fingers crossed*
4- Do it! If he creeps you out I'm sure others feel the same way.
5- Fingers crossed for you!!!
1) DS had his 4mo appt yesterday. His weight has gone down in percentiles (hasn't actually lost weight) so we have to go back in a month. I'm surprised how okay with this I am. Probably, its mostly because I know he wasn't eating very well when he was sick last week. Hopefully he starts chubbing up soon!.
2) My mom picked DS up from daycare on Tues which allowed me to run by target on the way home, and then to start dinner while she played with him a little. I'm really hoping she wants to make this a weekly thing.
3) DH finally called to cancel cable last night, but it looks like we've still got it through the weekend. I've got to get my fix on all things cable in the next couple days.
4) We had a pretty basic cable package and I'm kind of disappointed with how little we'll be saving by only having internet. It's a little less than 50% of what we were paying with cable, so I guess I should be happy still.
5) I got gas yesterday for 3.21. Today the station is up to 3.53. So glad I decided to stop & get it yesterday!
That's awesome!
Nice timing! I can't believe it jumped so high overnight.

I unfortunately didn't by the cheap gas yesterday! I was not happy to see it so high today!

1. I'm so happy it's Friday. This week has been tough since LO hasn't been sleeping very well.
2. My boss interviewed for another job and is likely going to leave...I am sad because he is a really flexible and generally good boss.
3. Because of #2 I am scared we will get some crazy new boss that will make working awful.
4. I only work 1 Monday in February!
5. In two weeks I get to meet BIL/SIL's new baby.
I've been thinking about doing this. Did you use EVOO, sunflower or jojoba? Or another one. Do you mind me asking you what your skin was like before?
