Oy, today will be an interesting day. My mat leave replacement starts today (in fact he just got here) so I'm sure I'll have to sit and talk with him for a while. So far he seems like a nice guy. Also, they're filming a promotional video here, and our group is bound to be featured, as we do the flashy, colourful work. I tried to dress nicely, but, well, the nice clothes just don't fit! Ha.
I've got my latest Dr's apt at 5 tonight, which is nice because Derek will get to come for the first time, and then we're off to Lowes to pay for our carpet!
Then hopefully work on the house to prepare for said carpet.
How is everyone today?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

We also have snow here today. They are predicting up to 14" of snow. Winter finally decided to come to Maine. Ugh. Daycare is closed, and pretty much everything in the area. I'm hoping they close work early, but knowing them if they do it won't be before 1 or 2. I would much rather be home doing fun things with the boys.
Tonight will probably be filled with shoveling and play time. Maybe some laundry.
Hope everyone has a great day.

I am so jealous of all the snow since its storming and a high of 81 today here.
On the bright side I actually slept last night. First time in about 2 weeks I feel wonderful. I hope I can repeat with that tonight. I fell asleep at 9 on the couch DH woke me up at 10:30 I went to bed and only woke up once for a short period of time. I really think it was those meds making me not sleep.
We have soccer practice tonight and I am not a fan of practicing inside the sports complex so I hope the rain moves out soon.
Good Morning,
Last night was pretty uneventful. DH fixed his arcade game and he was really happy with himself, I was too because now we don't have to pay someone to fix it. My MIL upset because she is unable to go to the funeral for her aunt. Its a 12 hour drive and does not feel up to going all alone. I offered to get the studio covered for my last couple days and go with her but she wouldn't let me. Today is a half day at the studio so I will have the afternoon to work on marketing materials.
I hope everyone has a great day!
Good morning.
I posted about the job below, so I'm just in wait and see mode. The meeting last night rattled me so much that now I am questioning whether I would take the job if it is offered.
Last night, I made plans with Neptoon to have dinner in the middle of the ocean. Be jealous.
Then Little Bit chased Rex with a fury that scared the crap out of me. Rex couldn't get away and then I tried to pick him up (my mistake - I should never have tried to pick up a scared cat) and he gave me two puncture wounds in my arm with his back claws when he used me as a launching pad. I swear, it's getting worse instead of better.
Nothing much is planned for tonight, except I guess breaking up cat fights.

Morning everyone. Last night was good. A friend stopped by to hang out for a bit, and then B and I worked on signing up for dinners and entertainment for our cruise. Reba, I'm looking forward to our GTG! After that, I watched Smash from Monday. I have to say, I'm really liking it, which is somewhat unexpected.
Today should be a fairly normal day. I have an out of the office training seminar this afternoon, which should make the day go by quickly.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Good morning, ladies.
It's supposed to be 48* here today, but snow coming in tonight and a high of 25* tomorrow. We'll see - Bailey has had winter, but we haven't. There's a ridge between where I live and where Bailey lives that sometimes acts like a weather wall. It can be a blizzard on one side, and nothing on the other. Crazy.
Boot camp kicked my butt today. We used the Bosu device, and it's hard. Plus, I've been awake since 2:30 so that didn't help. This insomnia can go away any time and I'll be happy.
I'm jealous of all the snow days!
Between the move at home and we're also moving offices at work, that seems to be the story of my life right now. I've spent most of the afternoon going through files and culling out a lot of stuff. Man, I've kept a ton of crap over the years.
I should be heading home in an hour, and then nothing too much going on tonight, just more of the same.

So far so good today. I was able to get up early and get a 4 mile run in before my OB appointment.
OB appointment went well. I saw a female in the practice since mine is out of town (which I knew). She was very nice and even wrote me a prescription for a maternity belt and maternity support hose. This maternity belt seems AWESOME. It's much more complex than what I had bought on my own (and this one was covered no charge on insurance) and I think it's going to add time to my hourly bathroom routine since I have to undue various straps and such but my back is feeling better and I'm hoping this helps with my pelvic pain. I love my OB but am kind of annoyed that he didn't suggest this like a month ago.
I work late shift today and then I'm on call. Boo to on call. Hopefully it's an uneventful night.
Good morning. Last night I skipped school and decided just to head home. The snow was getting pretty bad and I haven't had an evening at home in several days so it was nice. I did manage to stop and get 2 bottles of wine! Guess we know what was priority last night!
I also wish we had snow days here, no such luck! I swear they don't close down for anything around here.
Tonight I'll be heading back to my mom's to help her out. She is getting out of the hospital this afternoon so I'll go over and help make sure everything is set up for her and she's comfortable. Other than that no plans and I'm totally ok with it.
Have a great day!
Happy Thursday!
I am getting some housework done today. We may head to the mall or something just to get out of the house. Tonight, hoping to spend some time with DH.
Have a great day ladies!
This sounds awesome! I am definitely jealous.
Neptoon - I've been watching Smash too. So far I like it. It started out a little slow but really seems to be picking up speed now. I can't wait to see what happens next week.
I got home from work earlier than expected and had more than enough time to get a few things done before TC. I won't post any spoilers or thoughts on the show though.
Today has been a bit crazy. I had to hurry to get my comments from the meeting sent out to my bosses. My co-worker is also out sick today so I have some work to pick up there. I'm so ready for this weekend! Tonight should be quiet. I plan on cooking dinner and catching up on the DVR.
Morning all. Last night DH and I drove to see a couple of parks and decided on one for Olivia's birthday party. We just needed to make sure there was sufficient space, parking and a covered seating area. I was bummed we didn't get the one closest to our house but this one isn't that much further. We also looked over the invitations and decided on one. Our friend is making them for us so we just need to make a few changes. I'm so excited that things are coming together.
I'm about to leave the office to work offsite until later this afternoon. It will be nice to get out of here and I'm treating myself to lunch at The Habit. They have the yummiest chicken sandwiches and fries.
Tonight we're having DH's favorite dinner, burgers with asparagus. I swear the man is like a kid sometimes but it does make it easier to prep our meals. Since DH has softball I'll be able to catch up on a few of my shows too. It should be a low key night which is always good for me.
Hope you're all having a great day.
I am meeting with someone to go over my resume. I also have a test this afternoon then it is finishing up my outline. Tonight some of my friends are getting tougher so that we can finally meet one of there SO. I am excited she has been so happy since she started dating this person. The plan was to go out too, but I have homework.
I cannot wait for spring break!!
OMG, I got prescribed one of these today! My OB tells me my pelvis has started separating (whee! what fun!) a little earlier than most, so I picked up the belt today. I'm not sure that it's made a difference, but I can't really tell.

This head cold is kicking my butt. I didn't go to the Top Chef event with Gail Simmons. I didn't want to me that sick person there. I'm trying to get better by this weekend. There is a MM Seattle GTG, I really want to go to.
Tonight will be an easy dinner and bed.
Reba- I had the same problem when I got a 2nd cat. They ended up just getting along one day. I hope that stops soon, because I know I hated that new cat being mean to my baby. Good luck!
Today not much has happened. I officially called and quti working til after the baby gets here. I feel so.... stretched... today, I do not want to be on my feet working. That leaves me with the next few days to be on my own and clean and organize and finish getting ready!
Nate's "leave" starts Monday. He took off 10 days to get used to the adjustment and be home with me and baby. Plus, we are both still in school full time, so getting used to some sort of sleeping schedule with mass amounts of homework will be good to get used to before we throw work back into the mix.
I REALLY hope this baby gets here soon!
