We just got back from NM yesterday and I took the rest of the week off.  I also decided to be a big girl, get over myself, and take your collective advice - I'm going to wear a casual dress instead of my beloved jean shorts to that shower that I'm helping with this weekend. ;)

  • 1. Favorite purchase you've made in the past month?  I bought a shirt yesterday that I really like.2.  What jewelry are you wearing right now?  Wedding rings3. Has anyone done any good deeds for you lately? Care to share?  Someone let me pull out in front of them in the parking lot today (there were about 200 people all leaving at once, it was mass chaos), so that was nice.  I payed it forward and let someone out in front of me too.4. Olympics: Love 'em or hate 'em?  I'm neutral.5. If you love 'em, favorite Olympic sport?  Gymnastics.  When I was little I would watch gymnastics for HOURS.  I don't do that now, but I still like it.6. Least favorite Olympic sport?  No clue.  I'm sure there are Olympic sports I don't even know exist.7. Pick one: Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics.  Summer Olympics8. Pin anything exceptionally great on Pinterest lately (please share)?  This is soooo good.  I made it last week and we ate it up.  http://www.emilybites.com/2012/03/cheesy-chicken-stuffing.html9. Anything else? News? Vents? AWs? Random musings?  Found out today I don't have to be at work until 8:10am--which means I can leave home at 7:30, drop off G, and still be a little early.  At my previous job, I had to leave the house by 6:20am.  This is huge, people!Since DH was OOT, my sister spent the night with me one night last week.  We went to dinner for an early birthday celebration for her, had ice cream, and after I put G to be we stayed up until 1:30am just talking.  It was so much fun, relaxing, and so good to spend that time with her.  I really hope we can do stuff like that more often....we don't live that far from each other, but it's just far enough that life gets in the way and we don't see each other that much.

In a meeting today, two members of our special project team who was presenting went out of their way to praise the quality of my (small) contribution to the project and advocate for me spending more time working with them.

  • 1. Favorite purchase you've made in the past month?

    I'm not sure I've really bought anything for me in the last month, so I guess some new school clothes and stuff for Connor?  I need to correct this post haste. 

    2.  What jewelry are you wearing right now?

    I started to say just engagement ring, but I suppose I have a nose ring as well. I sometimes forget about it, but my dental hygienist called me out on it when she spotted it on the xray today.  Oh yeah, that.  

    3. Has anyone done any good deeds for you lately? Care to share?

    I can't think of anything specific.  Kevin brought home key lime pie ice cream to surprise me the other day.  Nothing makes me happy like food I guess. 

    4. Olympics: Love 'em or hate 'em?

    Love.  Connor keeps asking me if it's my favorite movie.  Ha! 

    5. If you love 'em, favorite Olympic sport?

    Gymnastics 

    6. Least favorite Olympic sport?

    I don't know, I guess I don't watch whatever I don't like, because I love everything they show during prime time anyhow. 

    7. Pick one: Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics.

    Summer.  It's pretty much summer's only redeeming quality lately. 

    8. Pin anything exceptionally great on Pinterest lately (please share)?

    Nah.  I haven't done much pinteresting lately. 

    9. Anything else? News? Vents? AWs? Random musings?

     A few AWs I guess.  

    1) I picked up my wedding dress this week, eeep!

    2) I feel validated for my efforts to remove sugar from Connor's diet.  After a horrific ELEVEN cavities last year, there were zero new ones this year!

    3) I got a wee promotion and raise yesterday.  It's just based on time in grade and not from some fabulous thing I did, but still, yay!  

  • It's 5thOfJuly (couldn't remember my log-in info)

    This board has been so slow! Argh! 

    1. Favorite purchase you've made in the past month? Hmmm...probably some really yummy cheese. I realize that's weird, but it is what it is.

    2.  What jewelry are you wearing right now? None. I've stopped sleeping in my wedding rings because my fingers swell during the summer.

    3. Has anyone done any good deeds for you lately? Care to share? Yes---my new boss! He knew I was having trouble finding a place to live, so he and his wife drove around and took photos of rental houses for me, then sent me all of the contact info (I'm currently 3 hours away.) He also got in touch with campus housing (see below)

    4. Olympics: Love 'em or hate 'em? Meh

    5. If you love 'em, favorite Olympic sport? I do like watching gymnastics

    6. Least favorite Olympic sport? Everything else?

    7. Pick one: Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics. Summer, I guess

    8. Pin anything exceptionally great on Pinterest lately (please share)? n/a

    9. Anything else? News? Vents? AWs? Random musings? AW: We're able to rent faculty housing from my new gig for way below market value. They only rent these homes to faculty, not students, so they're old (will eventually be torn down to expand a landlocked campus,) but not gross. It's not a great home, for sure, but the yearly rent is less than 5% of our annual income, it has space for all of our stuff, is walking distance from my office, and has a fenced in yard for the dog. Despite the harvest gold appliances I kind of want to stay for like YEARS and save up a ton of money to build something fabulous.

    2.  What jewelry are you wearing right now? My "fake" wedding bands [I had to buy new ones because the ones I have don't fit my swollen fingers anymore], JJ's birthstone ring, my watch and a bracelet.

    3. Has anyone done any good deeds for you lately? Care to share? My parents have been such a big help with JJ. While my dad was home, the two of them spent a lot of time together, which gave me time to get a lot of stuff done around my apartment.

    4. Olympics: Love 'em or hate 'em? LOVE.

    5. If you love 'em, favorite Olympic sport? Volleyball [both indoor and beach]. After that comes basketball and soccer.

    6. Least favorite Olympic sport? Um...probably handball. Because I just don't get it.

    7. Pick one: Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics. Summer. By far.

    8. Pin anything exceptionally great on Pinterest lately (please share)? Nope. I haven't been on Pinterest in ages...

    9. Anything else? News? Vents? AWs? Random musings? Um...nothing really. Life has slowed down a lot since my dad left and H returned from Afghanistan. I'm not just impatiently waiting for Devon's arrival [and the start of football season - this preseason football I was watching last night wasn't cuttin' it].

    3. Has anyone done any good deeds for you lately? Care to share? Friends gave me a drawing class as a gift and I have to leave as soon as H is home and showered.

  • imagegingerfeathers:

    1. Favorite purchase you've made in the past month? Haven't bought much this month... I seriously think the only thing I bought myself in the last month was a new bra. So, that's my answer. The girls are higher and happier, and that makes me happier!

    2.  What jewelry are you wearing right now? Wedding set, nose ring, watch

    3. Has anyone done any good deeds for you lately? Care to share? My boss bought me a burrito the size of my arm from wrist to elbow this morning. Delish, but way way way too big!

    5. If you love 'em, favorite Olympic sport? Swimming, diving, gymnastics

    6. Least favorite Olympic sport? Wrestling, badminton, trampoline

    7. Pick one: Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics. Eh, a little of both. Probably equally fabulous!

    8. Pin anything exceptionally great on Pinterest lately (please share)? I loved that jeans post that ginger posted earlier. That and this really cute hoodie for N. http://diyingtobedomestic.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/dinosaur-hoodie/

    9. Anything else? News? Vents? AWs? Random musings?

    Meh. I totally got paid to surf the internet this morning. We had 0. Yup 0 patients this morning, and 3 this afternoon. Total waste of productivity. Especially considering that there were 15 of us on staff today.

    I'm a'gettin' the baby fevah again! I must be losing my mind. It's the only logical explanation for why I'm feeling that way! Especially considering what my school/work/travel/social calendars look like the rest of this year!

    I have a new nephew! That's the AW part. The FFFC part is, he hasn't gotten to cute yet. He has his dad's nose, which is huge, and he is skinny and tall... so he looks a little like a fraggle to me! But I love him anyway!

    The length of a minute depends on which side of the bathroom door you are standing on! Photobucket
    What do you mean that's the wrong side? Tastes great to me!
