It's Hump Day!

Good Wednesday Morning ladies!

The Disney channel seems to be on the fritz today - it's going to be a long day for Hannah w/o any Mickey!! Good thing I have a few shows on DVR! Watching Mickey Mouse is part of her moring routine and then the tv is normally off for the rest of the day.

All I have planned today is a trip to the mall for a few exchanges and then I need to clean, clean, clean! I've been slacking with the cleaning as I try to get my TS business in order. I must say I am so much more excited about selling this time than I ever was last time! :)

Re: It's Hump Day!

  • Gah! I forgot to put in the TS order Hannahsmom. I will at some point this week! It has been crazy trying to catch up from brig gone all weekend. I think Noah and I are headed to the farmer's market this morning. Then this afternoon his IEP is being written. So his Spec Ed speech services will start soon! I am looking forward to getting him help.

    I wish there were evening farmers markets!  I hate that the ones near me are from like 9am-2pm on Thursdays.  Um hello, what about us daytime working folk?   I don't always have time to cruise a farmers market on my lunch.  I loved it on my maternity leave when me and R could walk around and browse during the day to get out of the house.

  • Good news, TW! Fulton Street Farmer's market is starting Wednesday evening hours today through September. 4:00 to 7:30 pm! Hopefully that works for you sometime. 

     

    I need to pick up strawberries. I normally pick at Krupp Farm with my sister. This year I am just going to buy pre-picked since I am 32 weeks pregnant.  I think after my strength training class today I will get my berries so I can make jam. Need to stock up for the year.

    This is totally more realistic for me!  I can meet up with a girlfriend after work and we can shop!

  • Stargirl - no worries! Just before the 14th would be good. Haha! Smile

    We haven't had a chance to check out the Fulton St Farmers Market yet - I hear its nice. There is one here in Allendale that starts next Tuesday I think so I should try to check that out too.

     My former CW took his son out to dinner for his b-day and said "order a drink on me."  and his son replied back "ummm, dad, I'm only 20" He thought it is was his son's 21st b-day.

  • Happy Birthday TW!! Cake

    I'm looking forward to this weekend and the beautiful weather!!  I'll be outside for the Downtown GR Relay for Life Friday-Saturday so I'm glad it's looking warm and nice!

    Anniversary DS was born 11/30/12... so in love :)
  • Good morning!!

    Happy Birthday, Wop! Hope you have an awesome day. What are you, N and baby doing tonight?

  • So yesterday a friend on FB posted a woman driving down mainstreet on a motorized scooter, pulling one of those kid rider things meant to go behind a bicycle. He took a picture of it and was like, "is this legal??" Sure enough, a little further down the road she got pulled over by the police and has not 1, but 2 kids in the back of that thing while she was driving through traffic. Seriously people???

    Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

    N and I are going out to dinner at The Cottage Bar I think.  I have to work all day, so not doing anything grand.  This weekend we're cleaning the house for R's baptism luncheon, and hanging out.  I want to head to a Benjamin Moore retailer to get a few paint samples for our hallway tonight if we have time.  We'll probably paint it after the furnace is installed next week sometime.

  • Happy birthday, TW!  Enjoy the Cottage Bar tonight!

    We started painting the coop last night.  I had picked out a lovely shade of grey green (olypmic's "lettuce alone").  What came out of the can was a very mint green color.  Humph.  We're not taking it back, this will make a very nice first and second coat, and by then it should be gone.  We'll get a better match for coat 3, and if necessary 4.  We want this wood to be really protected against the elements. 

    Henry and I are zoo bound in a few minutes.  Nice cool day to get in a trip for 2 before Willa's done with school.

    I bought myself some glazed donut holes this morning, and I know I won't eat them all.  I'm thinking the leftovers would make a delicious french toast casserole for Saturday breakfast.

  • I've ridden my bicycle a couple of times now, I love it. I miss riding. For too long I didn't ride because i felt that I "should" be running since it burns more calories per hour. Well, I didn't do that either so I finally said screw it, I'm riding my bike. :-) DH and I are going on a two day bicycle trip in July. Luckily it's for beginners. 
  • hello,

     I'm about to put the girls down for a nap. Techinally, it is Allison's day to stay up and work on her workbooks; however, I'm hoping I can get her to lay down for a bit so I can lay down. She has been having melt downs all morning.

    Yay for bike riding! I love going out for a long ride, especially if we stop for a beer and hot dog half way through. 

     

    Are you doing the Michigander, by any chance? Mike and I did that with Henry in a trailer last year. We loved it. The course was over the Kal-Haven trail with easy access to awesome blueberry farms. We stopped and loaded up for the ride. It doesn't work out for us this year, but we will be back to doing it next year, with 2 in the trailer.

    Whichever ride you are doing, I hope you enjoy it! 

  • Happy Birthday TW!!

    I know that the downtown YMCA Has a farmers market every Thursday through September starting tomorrow.

    I've been moving some small furniture pieces from the old office to the new one. Ugh. I HATE moving even more so when I have to do it downtown. 

  • I'm bored. Every person who is in this part of the building is gone for the day. Anyone feel like doing a random poll or something?

    What's your favorite song right now?

    What color shoes are you wearing?

    Should I grow my hair out or cut it again?

    To answer my own random poll:

    What's your favorite song right now? Eric Church- Springsteen

    What color shoes are you wearing? Brown flip flops

    Should I grow my hair out or cut it again? I can't decide, hence the poll
