TGIF!
Re: TGIF!
Weekend Plans: Potentially nothing if this snow storm is as bad as they're saying it will be.
Raves: I'm working from home today because of the impending snow storm.
Rants: H was in a car accident over a year ago where he was rear-ended and since then he's had some random stiffness/soreness in his neck. Well yesterday he was stretching and hurt his neck/back... Basically pulling the muscles that were injured in the accident. He has off from work today so thankfully he can just relax but I feel so bad for him
Weekend Plans: Today is a bumming kind of day but tomorrow H and I (as well as my brother, sister, and some friends) are participating in a Polar Plunge!! It's going to be super cold and I am really, really nervous already but it's for a great cause so you can't argue with that! They encourage you to wear costumes but I couldn't come up with anything so I feel kind of lame about that
Raves: With the money that I've gotten for watching some dogs last weekend and during the week, I have enough to pay off my student loan earlier than expected! I'm pretty excited that I don't have to use our paychecks to pay it off.
More importantly though, The Walking Dead starts again this Sunday, woohoo!!!
Rants: Yesterday morning at 5am I woke up to our front door being wide open and both our dogs gone!!! Thankfully, they were across the street, they didn't get hit and I was able to get them inside right away. However, now I'm super paranoid about the door opening for no reason and I keep having these minor panic attacks! I hate to crate our dogs when we aren't home but I would feel so much better knowing they couldn't get out if given the chance.
Rants: Nothing major this week. I guess I'm a little bummed that H is leaving on Monday for his 4 week training. He'll be home on the weekends, but I'm sure after a few weeks it will start to suck!
Raves: We FINALLY got rid of our roommate!! I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend at home with H and the pup. I'm also really happy that I gave myself the challenge this week of making all of H's favorite foods before he leaves but making them Weight Watchers friendly. I'm very happy that so far, everything's turned out really good!
WP: We haven't made any plans because of the snow. We're just going to hang out and be lazy. We've been busy the past few weekends and H is heading to training Sunday night so it will be nice to do nothing.
Spalko: I read that on your Facebook yesterday!! I would have freaked out! I'm glad that your pups were okay! Do they unlock your dog to sneak out?
Weekend Plans? Can't wait to get home from work and enjoy the snow! We plan on pulling the snowmoibles out of their trailer tonight and riding around the back yard. Also one of my BFF is coming to visit on Sunday! So excited to see her! I will be power cleaning the house tomorrow to get ready!
Raves? I love snow and it puts me in such a good mood!
Before H left for work yesterday, I asked him to make sure my boots weren't in the car. He didn't close the door all the way because he thought he'd be coming back in to bring my boots in. Well, they weren't in the car so he just got in and went to work. Wind must have pushed the door open and the little buggers went for a little joy run. They were probably only outside for about 5 minutes but it was the worst 5 minutes of my life!!
Weekend Plans: Getting some more stuff done around the house! Hubby has gotten are garage functional this past week (power has been hooked up and I can park in it now... power also means he can use it to work in... yay!) So we should be able to get a bunch more stuff done around the house this weekend. I also have my quiliting class (i'm really enjoying that) and the usual cooking/cleaning/groceries.
Raves: don't really have any raves this week... kind of just been a normal week!
Rants: While I love being off the pill.. and most things that come with it... I never realized how good I had it with lack of PMS symptoms... seems like every month now PMS hits me like running into a brick wall. Yesterday I had a back ache to end all backaches.. sore boobs.. headache.. the whole 9 yards. I guess the upside is I definitely know when my period is coming.
Plans: Tonight just hanging out with DH. Tomorrow I'm going MOH dress shopping for my SIL's wedding. After that one of my girlfriends is coming over for some girl tlak. Sunday is our lazy day. We do all of the housework in our jammies, shower, and lounge watching movies/sports on TV.
Rants: I pulled by back at the gym two weeks ago and yesterday was my first day back. I wish I hadn't hurt myself because I wanted to be in better shape for dress shopping this weekend!
Raves: OUR WEDDING VIDEO IS READY! I was so excited when I saw the email, I blanked out and forgot DH's cell number when I went to call him! lol! We're going to have a bottle of champagne and watch it tonight.
Weekend plans: I have my grandma's viewing. It is sad however, she been sick for so long and its been a blessing she finally went peacefully.
Rants: This weather better not be as bad as it says...my family can't take other day of waiting to put my grandma to rest. It will just be so unfair if we have to reshedule.
Raves : 4 days to Disney! It could not come in a better time!
Rants: I'm starting to get super stressed out with so many things going on in the next few months. Between personal stuff for me and H and wedding stuff for one of my BFF's and then all the other little things that keep coming up. It's really getting annoying.
Raves: Since getting ready for this couples shower H has been doing a lot of yard work and honestly the house looks so good. I just hope H keeps it up.
Weekend Plans: Tonight H and I are going to dinner and to pick up last minute stuff for the party. Saturday I will be cleaning and rearranging the living room since it is supposed to storm Sunday so instead of being outside everyone will be inside my living room. And then Sunday is the couples shower for my BFF and H and I are super excited to throw it!
Don't worry about the Polar Plunge, you'll be fine. I did one about 10 years ago on one of the coldest days of the year. The coldest part is the air - the water is actually much warmer =] Or at least it was for me, it was about 4 degrees the day I did it. Relax & have fun, you'll be fine!
I am also excited about the Walking Dead!
Rants: got a migraine on Tuesday afternoon that carried into Wednesday so I had to call into work. I spend all week studying for my CPC exam.
Raves: It's Friday!! Haha that's all....not a great week for me.
Weekend Plans: Tomorrow is my CPC (Certified Professional Coder) exam! I've been practicing and studying and I feel ready but I'm SO nervous! It's 150 questions and we have 5 hours and 40 minutes to finish. We get a free retake if we don't pass the first time but I really hope to pass the first time. A lot of people fail the first time because they run out of time! I will really need to watch my time management. Wow that was a lot of use of the word "time" LOL. I will spend the rest of the Saturday resting and relaxing! Sunday is my friend's baby sprinkle (her second child) so I'm looking forward to that.
Weekend Plans: I'm flying to MN tomorrow morning and will be there for 5 weeks for my second to last clinical clerkship. Definitely going to miss H, it will be the longest we've been apart since we started dating almost 6 years ago!
Raves: Our professional wedding album came in the mail today, and it turned out amazing!!
Rants: H was supposed to have the afternoon off so we could spend it together, but he got stuck at work
I've hardly seen him this week because he's been working so much, and now I'll be gone until the middle of March.
