Five Things Friday
1) All this working is seriously getting in the way of my ability to Nest.
2) DH works late tonight and I get off early. I am kind of excited to come home and have a little bit of me time. I am sure after about an hour I will miss him though and get lonely.
3) I would love a giant doughnut right now. I will have an English muffin instead though.
4) I am ready for Spring to be here. I am excited to be able to not use my furnace soon.
5) This is one of the cutest things ever!! (Apparently I love pigs all the sudden haha)
Re: Five Things Friday
2. I got mad at dh last night before we went to bed and hogged all the covers- and I mean hogged them. He had none for most of the night. I don't feel badly.
3. I want to eat my breakfast in peace and with some personal space. I'm wondering when that will happen again
4. I'm frustrated that my son is refusing to go to MOPs today and I know if we go it will be a terror drop off at the child care. Instead, i'm going to drop off the fruit platter I have and return home.
5. I'm so glad this week is over and hope that the next few weeks bring good news, rather than the repeated bad news I've been hearing all week.
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
1. I am so happy it's Friday!!!!!
2. I am addicted to Reese cereal right now.
3. I'm so glad I decided to buy a spin bike from a friend, I wasn't sure I would get as good of a workout without an instructor/class but I have been!
4. I should probably do some work soon since I've been at work since 7:00 and haven't done anything other than respond to a couple emails.
5. I'm ready for spring so I can sit on my front porch and relax!!
1. I'm really hungry right now... I need to eat my yogurt.
2. I hope that DH decides to take me out to a nice dinner tonight.
3. I know Valentines Day shouldn't be a big deal, bu tI was disappointed that I only got to see him for 10 minutes on Tuesday.
4. I have been so tired lately... I just want a nap right now!
5. I am SO glad that it is Friday!!!!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
1. I woke up early to clean up all my dirty dishes from last night's extravaganza, and I poured Country Time's half lemonade/half iced tea (so, cheaper than regular Arnold Palmer) into my water bottle as a treat for today.
2. I cannot stop thinking about this weekend. (and the delicious treats)
3. However, I'm really bummed DH will not be coming.
4. And even though I'm busy this weekend, I don't have work on Monday and Tuesday so I'll be using that time as if it's a weekend - cleaning and working out!
5. DH said he's ready for his birthday (St. Patrick's Day)/spring. I agree. This winter has been obviously warmer than most but it's still winter.
1. We're going to a birthday party for one of Emma's friends (my friend's daughter) tomorrow and I still have to find a gift for her.
2. I'm hoping the party doesn't end up being 5 hours long like last year. It took forever for things to get rolling.
3. Friend's Dad always accosts DH and starts asking random computer/technical questions and I get annoyed for him.
4. It annoys me when people post things like "My husband is an ass" on their FB status. So lame.
5. It's been really dry in my house, even with the humidifier running.
1-3 I'm annoyed for parties that go on too long, and people that start talking only to ask for help/ask questions. And good luck finding a gift soon!
4 - Sometimes I prefer reading someone complaining about their spouse than constantly posting "OMG I LOVE HIM SO MUCH<3<3!" or any of that crap because it's reassuring that they are human and have fights. Nonetheless, I try to refrain from posting too much about DH in general.
5 - Our house has been too. I've had an insane amount of bloody noses recently.
1. My DH gave me his cold and this stinks. I can't take any medicine.
2. This is my 2nd day 'working from home' and my work keeps calling me to just talk. Wouldn't you think the first time I spoke with you and I could hardly talk would give you a sign I'm not feeling very well?!
3. I will admit that I'm currently watching Ellen while responding to emails.
I like working from home!
4. Reese Witherspoon isn't that much older than me and I find that amazing. I really thought she was almost 40. Not sure why though?!
5. I hope I don't make too many typos - eyes are watery.
1. I have been sick for this whole week and ended up taking 2 days off of work as a result of being sick. I am here today because I was feeling well enough to be here and we needed the money... now that I am here, I am thinking that I should have stayed home. OH well.
2. I am frustrated with H because on Wednesday he worked from home to keep me company since I almost fainted in the shower, and yesterday he came home early to spend some time with me... I am frustrated because he ended up playing games for most of the night and I feel like he ignored me most of the night.
3. On top of him ignoring me, he told me I will have to make up the 10 hours of work I missed this week because we need the money. BUT he got an extra $400 on his last paycheck... does he not understand that for me to make up the hours, I would only be getting back a measly $114... ugh.
4. I am so thankful that I didn't plan anything for us to do this weekend because I am really going to just need to be sleeping most of the weekend.
5. Sorry these are all so whiny. I promise next week I will be a little bit more upbeat!
1. I've cried each day since Sunday. I'm hoping the sun means today will be better.
2. I just ordered DD's cake, in the shape of Lightening McQueen from cars!
3. DH might have to work in CT next week after he said he'd probably be home.
4. I hope not because I have a Mom's Night Out Thurs. & this GTG on Friday!
5. He should never tell me unless it's a definite that's he's home, so I don't get my hopes up!
1. I am off of work today and having mac and cheese for lunch - double WIN!
2. I went to the shelter this morning to walk dogs, and I was double-walking the big one (150-some lbs) with another walker, and he still managed to pull me down. Of course I fell on the same wrist I fell on in October which STILL hasn't recovered. Ow.
3. I was under budget at the grocery store!
4. I am making chicken tortilla soup for dinner, and I'm REALLY excited about it!
5. I have to get an oil change/fluids flushed in my car today. Bleh.
1. When I woke up this morning, my eyes were really dry (not that abnormal for the winter and since my LASIK surgery.) I rubbed them, and when I went downstairs my left eye felt all irritated and my vision is a bit blurred.
2. I called my (LASIK) doctor's office and they said I could come in. Hopefully everything is ok.
3. My love my LASIK doctor's office. They are all so nice. (Dr. Haddad at Laser Eye Institute in Troy.) I highly recommend them for anyone considering LASIK. They are amazing to work with.
4. I get to pick up my wedding dress next Saturday! Eeek! Now I just need to store it for about a month, and then find a good seamstress for alterations. (Bought the dress in Lansing, so I need to find one here.)
5. FI and I are also going to go cake testing next week Saturday. Eeek! I love cake!!!
Agree. Heck yes it is still winter! This is only my second Michigan winter, I'm not used to this. Although, in comparrison to last year's baptism by fire, this winter is better. But, I am still cold every day!
1--I say get a target gift card and be done with it!
4--Aren't their husband's on FB? Mine isn't, but his brother and our mutual friends are. I would NEVER do this no matter how p!ssed off I was!
5--mine too! I have chicken skin hands!
I haven't kept track exactly, but I'd say I cry more days than not lately. Sleep deprivation (among other things) doesn't look good on me. Hope you feel better and have a couple good days in a row!
Yeah, agreed. I get cold easily, so it's cold... but "it's not worth it". If there was a foot of snow, it could be FUN!
1. My aunt was here visiting this week for the first time, and it was really great to have her here.
2. When she said goodbye to DD#1 at the bus stop, she came back crying, which made me cry. Then she cried again at the airport, and again...I cried.
3. I just made a list of 40 places for the 40 Bags in 40 Days thingie. Now I'm motivated to do it all.
4. I am looking forward to the GTG next week.
5. DH and I have been talking about it for a looong time and I think we are finally ready to remodel the kitchen this summer!!!!! But I want to change the layout and don't want to end up hating it...afraid to make the big decisions!
1. Hubs and I went to the casino tonight. Had a blast, it was nice to get out and spend some time just the two of us. Won some $ too!
2. Oh Groupon! 57 photo shoots were purchased! Things are about to get even busier! ... but in a good way.
3. Tomorrow we are taking cuddlebug for our annual trip to Frankenmuth sometimes we get a room and make a lazy weekend out of it.
4. We will not be getting a room this time, I have a newborn session at 10:30 am on Sunday about an hour away from my house.
5. Sunday after my session I have a play date at the indoor water park. Cuddlebug is going to have a blast we have not been in a while and she enjoys her buddy Daniels, company.
