Happy Wednesday!

What are you all up to today? Dinner plans for tonight? I am in desperate need of inspiration, I have no idea what we are having tonight. What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

My walking buddy bailed on me  at the last minute so I let E sleep and got up with the doggies. So far I've cleaned the kitchen and made French toast for breakfast. Its really overcast today, however it is suppose to be 70* later today. We will see, hopefully its still nice and warm when I get off so I can walk the dogs and get my walk in for the day since I didn't walk this morning. I still need to figure out what we are having for dinner.

Re: Happy Wednesday!

  • Hey I'm not much inspiration on dinner. I don't even know what I will eat. I just got up. It's so hard not to be lazy when you're the only person in the house that gets up before noon. I applied to a few jobs now that I'll be in town for a while longer. Just minimum wage/waitressing and whatnot so I wouldn't feel bad leaving when DH gets home. One of the places sent me their personality questionnaire so I think that's a good sign? Anyway, I'm just going to do homework all day. It seems like it may be okay outside today. It's humid and cloudy. It reminds me of a summer morning around here. That is not right for March.

  • I think I need to seal my deck today.  H said in an email that "we need to get the deck sealed soon" which means that "I" need to get it done since I don't see him being flown home for that.  

    Dinner will probably be some leftover chicken in a salad.  I'm real clever.

  • Short workday for me; taking L to her dr.'s appt. that was postponed 2 weeks ago since the dr. had the flu. It is suppose to be in the upper 70s today with scattered t-storms so we'll see what happens this afternoon. If the weather is nice, I'll probably take L to the park after the appt. for awhile so she can play. Planning on making cheese enchiladas for dinner; just need to remember to get sour cream on the way home.

    May want to wait a couple of days; it's suppose to be scattered t-storms for the next 2 days.

  • Today is a lazy day. The boss is driving me up the wall and all I want to do is go home and sleep. We also don't have patients on Wednesdays so I have no clue why I'm here.

    I took out ground turkey for dinner, but have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet..

  • I'm here!  Finally have a bit of a breather from the fast pace I've been maintaining at work.  Yesterday was super busy, lots of running around, so I'm hurting today. 

    I don't cook dinner, so I'm no help there.

    Today's my first time going to my city's breastfeeding group.  I'm nervous and hoping I make some friends.

    Exciting news!!

    We are headed to the beach in Florida on Friday and need to make a Costco run today to get the essentials...and beer. I also need to do the mounds of laundry covering my floor so we have something to wear. Dinner tonight will probably be something we pick up at costco but I made an awesome pizza last night. It was grilled chicken, pesto pizza with fresh mozzarella. Adapted from this recipe: (sorry it's not clicks I'm on the iPad and don't know how!)

    Good to know, thanks.  I was going to look at the weather before doing it but now I won't even bother.  I really didn't feel like doing it anyways yet so I'm definitely not sad.

    I'm so excited for you to go to this! I'm sure it will be great!

    I also have no plans to cook dinner tonight since it will probably just be me and I hate cooking just for me, so I'm also no help in this department.

    I'm at work like usual. I actually got semi-caught up yesterday with everyone's work I'm doing so I'm enjoying a bit of a breather right now. My little space heater is dying a slow and painful death and apparently my office thinks it's summer out even though it's only supposed to be in the mid 50's here today. I'm hoping my new one comes in this afternoon.

    I made my first baby purchases on Monday and both have shipped as of today so I'm excited to get that stuff in the mail.

    Wedding planning is coming along slowly but surly. 3 months and a day left so we better get on it! I picked up my 3 sizes too big dress on Monday and have plans to get it altered 5 weeks before the wedding with the hopes that I don't grow that much in 5 weeks.

    Weather-related procrastination is totally acceptable.

  • Also, in regards to dinner.

    We had tacos last night but had a bunch of leftover stuff (except the amazing guac that I made- ate all of that lol), so tonight I'm going to make platter dip.

  • I'm just taking in our spring break and wishing it would slow down!!!!

     I am going into work for a few hours today to get some things in order and start to prepare for a summer school position I accepted yesterday.  I have a lunch date with a friend at noon and then have to take my four-year-old to dance this afternoon.  After that we'll head home and do some cleaning before our left over dinner.  Sorry I'mn not much help there either...  We had potato cheese soup on Monday that was super easy, quick and excellent though.

  • I am here. I have a follow up doctor's appointment at 3. I am not even sure I want to go. We are discussing BC options and I Do.Not want to go back to hormonal BC. I don't want to go back to the crazy that the pill helped me achieve. But I am also sure that I do not want children in the near future. Ugh. 

    Other than that, homework and yardwork. I am loving going outside to play in the dirt. :-)

  • Today is my last day at my job. :( I've cleaned off my desk, turned in my keys, made notes for the new girl and packed all my stuff in my car. I turned in all my gear and after lunch I'm heading up to meet a girlfriend for her birthday and then do some stuff at the house until I have to pick K up tomorrow. The move to PA is here!

    You're near Pittsburgh right? I really wanted to take a couple days to drive so I could stop in Columbus and Pittsburgh but DH is flying out and coming back with me so I have to drive straight through. He has to work Monday. :(

    I'm at work, grading papers and finishing up some reading for my own class tonight. No idea what H will make for dinner, but we had an amazing sherried chicken soup from eggton.com last night.

  • Wednesday is our Pho day!  (I go to my weight watchers meeting, and the pho place we like is on the way home, so I pick up supper...)  Yum!

     

    And, I have all of about 2 inches left to knit on the collar of DH's sweater, and then I'll be done with it!  (well, except for sewing on buttons, but that's easy, and has to wait until I can take DH to shop for buttons, which won't be sooner than Friday)  And that means I can cast on my next big project!  yay!  I tend to limit myself to one large project at a time, and this one has been dragging out, and out, and out...  The next project is for me, so I am quite excited about it.

     

    Oh, and the major excitement - I hired a cleaning service today!  Yay!  We're slobs, and have needed to do this for a long time, and I finally took the initiative to find and interview a couple companies.  We're going with the more expensive of the options I found, but I think they'll do a much more thurough cleaning.  Sadly, they won't be able to come to do the initial clean until next week.  :(  And my parents are visiting this weekend, so we'll have to do some cleaning up ourselves before then.

    Oh, yeah, food - well, pho for supper, and for lunch, I'll either have some soup from the freezer and a half sandwich (with raw veggies), or I'll have some of the pork loin crock pot roast from last night (with raw veggies - they're already prepped).  The roast was super easy, if you're looking for something to try...  I squished pepper on all the sides of the roast, seared it in a frying pan, and then put it in the crock pot on a few pieces of celery (to keep it from resting on the bottom of the crock).  Added a bit of water, and let it do it's thing.  Simple, easy, tasty...

  • Still cleaning and trying to breathe through all I still have to do before tomorrow.  

    My babies turn one in a little more than 24 hours.  LOTS of emotions, mostly just amazed and thankful :)  A little bit sad that my loves are growing at the speed of light.  That's the way it goes though.  

    No idea about dinner, probably a take-out night.

  • It's been raining all week where I live, but thankfully my dog is finally figuring out going out to potty in the rain is NOT the end of the world, like she previously thought.

    I am having dinner with a girlfriend tonight at a Mongolian Grill so I would suggest a stir fry. :)

  • Happy Wednesday!

    This morning I went to the newcomer briefing with H and got a lead on a job, so that was sort of exciting.  I still have to make a trip to the grocery store and then finish ironing/hanging our new living room curtains.

    Dinner is going to be leftover chicken breast and a salad.  I'm oh so creative. 

  • I'm no help with dinner, I planned on doing a crock pot dinner I found on pinterest but that's not happening, we'll just grab take out. The movers are packing up our house today and moving us on post tomorrow. So I've been sitting here watching them for the last 5 hours. It is a great a happy Wednesday but I'm sleepy and ready for the week to be over.
