Re: Good news Wednesday

  • I'm not yet sure if this is good news or not, but I now have a pool table in the middle of my living room.

  • You're officially the second person that's told me that.  I feel like the slate would cause bruising.

    Let me know how the concert is.  I've heard they put on a pretty decent show. 

  • Yay for good news!

    We bought tickets this morning for the French Open in June.  Great tennis and a weekend in Paris?  Yes please!

  • I slept horribly last night but amazingly still feel pretty good today.

    Only 30 more days until DH's paternity leave starts!!! (Sorry, this may be a recurring theme in the GNWs for the next few weeks...)

  •  Country concerts= COWBOYS!! You still have a cowboy fixation?

    Pillow under the back while on the pool table could probably prevent bruising.

    For me, my only problem  right now is to figure out what to do with two weeks of unexpected vacation from work?? So I guess that is good news :)

    Not so much since I (briefly) dated someone who wore tight jeans and cowboy boots.  Mmm, he was so sexy but a bit of an alcoholic and an assshole.  Got it out of my system for now but if another sexy man in tight jeans and boots came along, I wouldn't throw him out of bed!

  • I hosted a dinner for major donor's last Thursday and one of them mailed me a thank you card.  I never get a thank you card -- typically I am the person thanking them!  I am stunned and really pleased.

    DH really surprised me last night with roses, rose petals, 40 candles, bubbly with a homemade dinner when I walked in the door from work last night.  It was totally unexpected, we typically just exchange cards, and really sweet.

  • Someone tried to break into our garage last night but they didn't succeed in breaking the lock all the way. Apparently he's gotten four garages in the area this week!

    Even better news is that early this morning they arrested him! Thank goodness because I'm home alone this week and I don't like the thought of someone coming back to finish the job. 

    Cheers to a really good neighborhood watch system!

  • I'm about to book our vacation to Alaska.  I'm super excited.  

     Our shipment from England will arrive on Monday.  I'm so ready to get W's crib and dresser.  He's been sleeping in a pack in play for a month.   

  • Almost over the hump of the school week. I'm getting excited for the weekend. I'm heading north to Milwaukee Friday afternoon to see a friend and then another hour north to see my parents for the weekend. I'm also finally getting my hair cut. It's been 4 and a half months and I think I'm going to do something drastic.

  • The government finally decided to pay our January grant - woohoo! They must've been saving it for V-day ;)
  • Might I add that I was invited last minute to a friend's house since H is in Germany until tomorrow. So I just spent a great evening with a Franco-Australian couple and it was soooo nice to have an easy evening with a couple that I get along with the wife, husband and their adorable baby! Usually that doesn't happen :)

  • Good News Thursday...

    DHs tax refund will pay for our trip to Canberra with some leftover.  Whoo-Hoo!

    I found a Mexican restaurant to try while we're in Ballarat this weekend.

    I might have a meet-up to go to in Melbourne on Sunday -- potential friends with no connection whatsoever to DH.  Fingers crossed on that one.

  • I just booked our hotel for before we move (if we choose to stay in our rental, even for one day, our landlords requires we pay the full month's rent). I called the property where we wanted to stay and was able to save nearly $800 off the rate on the Internet. It is a suite (an actual suite, the bedroom has a door), with a kitchen, the property has an indoor pool and they provide a complementary breakfast. And, the best part is knowing we aren't giving our crappy landlord one more penny!!!!
