Re: Meaningful Monday - 12/3/12

  • uh Monday! Uh December. Good thoughts to whoever needs it today--I am on a lucky streak it seems so I will send some of that everyone's way.... I am grateful that today is such a nice day. Its around 60, and nice and breezy. It feels good to have the windows cracked at work (i feel like my allergies are so bad) This weekend we got a killer deal on a TV for my parents. I wasn't estatic on going halfies on such a big gift for my parents, but i ended up getting $ from them for the secruity deposit we had on our wedding venue and so I used that to put towards a new 46" tv from them. We even got a great deal because we were buying the 42" and the cashier told my brother that they had a special for another hour (it was only until noon) on the 46" same TV at the same price! so we lucked out... AND... I don't want to jinx it..and hope my good luck isn't running out after hte TV things but........ I heard from our realtor that it looks like we Might hear back about the house SOMETIME THIS WEEK Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
  • are my posts not spacing correctly on everyone else's screens? I hit enter and space theminto paragraphs or at least groupings and then they post as one HUGE mash on my screen- its so annoying!!
  • Can we pretend it's not December? Because I'm sort of freaking out that it's December. I have no idea how it happened... so much to do and no time to do it!

    Let's see. We've managed to have a week of no bad news, so that's wonderful! We had a productive weekend feel like we've finally turned the corner and our list is getting shorter instead of longer.

    I got myself an early Christmas present yesterday in the form of a new phone. It's been 3 years with my old one and it was just way past time. I made a big upgrade and got my first-ever smartphone. Got a great deal on it, and it's the rugged version of a phone so DS shouldn't kill it anytime soon! I will be very happy to have it when we're in the hospital having this LO so I can update people easily and not have to lug a laptop around.

    I am going to take Thursday off of work and take some time to breathe and get stuff done. Weekends have been just as stressful as weekdays and I need a little time to catch up and relax.

    DS has gone from the occasional 1-word answer to a babbler in the past week. We have no idea where it came from, but he'll just talk about nothing in particular and engage in "conversation" now. He's also getting so much better about asking for things he wants instead of throwing a fit. It's a huge relief that it's finally happening... he's really catching up!

    I don't see spacing, either :(

    I'm terrible at this stuff, but Alicia usually knows the answer. I'm sure she'll be here soon :)

  • We had the most insanely productive weekend ever. I'm in pain from raking and standing the entire time, but it really was a great weekend of just getting things DONE. 

    My husband was home today w/ a swollen knee (see raking above, we have like 30 farking trees, it's miserable), so he updated my streaks in my hair that are now a gorgeous dark purple ;-)

    i was inspired to start updating my resume - I hope to finish it Wednesday or Thursday and start getting it out there again. I'm sick of late paychecks and am taking action!

    I have a weightloss/life change buddy and I'm stoked! We still need a plan for how to make it work daily from a distance - some kind of way to check in with each other, etc. But I'm so happy to get started and really help each other be the amazing, healthy women we are underneath!

    Not seeing your spacing. What do you use to connect to the Nest? PC, Mac, phone? What web browser? IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.?

    On my phone, I have to add code to make a line break. I choose to double up this code, no spaces, at the end of each paragraph...

    <BR>

    If that doesn't show up, it's the "less than" symbol then BR and then the "greater than"symbol.

    Hope that helps!

  • DD was the top seller for her preschool's fundraiser. All of the cookie dough that was actually delivered to the school today have been dropped off at their rightful owners' homes now. Just wish the school hadn't inadvertently omitted the second page of my order forms. I am going to have to do another big drop off in another week or so now.

    Nice day with the kids. Got to have lunch with my mom, and see lots of friends and family as we did our rounds :)

    Most of the orders I placed online for my mom have come in. Now to do another big drop off tomorrow.
