I think one of my friends is doing the slow fade from our friendship. This is the one of "Say Yes to the Dress" fame, haha. She posts all these pictures on Facebook of partying with her new friends, and I think I'm the boring friend now.
DH tends to buy whichever Greek yogurt is on sale. This is not a good thing. He got himself big things of Choibani to eat at home but I am stuck with the little way too sweet Yoplaits. I guess tomorrow I will spend one additional minute portioning Choibani into tupperware because the Yoplaits are gross.
Tired and can't seem to find the motivation I need to get through the rest of the day might leave. Overheard my coworkers talking about my ass though, so I guess working out paid off some what.
Since my grandmother's stroke I've found myself having a irrational fear of having a stroke. Everytime I get a headache, I have thoughts of 'oh my God, what if I have stroke". I need to get grip.
My workplace does not have enough garbage pails in the hallway. There are plastic and glass recycle cans everywhere but if I have a paper coffee cup to throw out, I have to bring it to the bathroom.
I made a vow this weekend that I will not buy another black top or solid dark color top again for a while. I need to revamp my wardrobe and desperately need multi color options to wear with various things. this brought on by a meltdown while trying to get dressed on Saturday to go to dinner. I now have a pad and pen in my closet so I can write down what I need and then bring the list shopping.

We might buy a house today (or at least make an offer) but yesterday, my H found a house he would also like to see. I worked all weekend and today I work 11-8 and due to childcare and snow and a broken windshield wiper, I cant see it today. We have been looking for 4 months, and this weekend (when I work) is the weekend we find 2 houses?
A lot of my friends are having relationship problems. Some have major issues like infidelity and trust issues. Others are things that could probably be fixed fairly easily ... rude comments to each other, one spouse acting spoiled or completely unreasonable about certain things and the other spouse just going along with it, an unfair balance in household workload or who pays for what, etc.
It makes me sad that their relationships are doing so poorly, angry at the spouses who aren't compromising or attempting to work on the relationship, and scared that my own marriage is inevitably going to face a similar problem (there's nothing concrete to make me think this - I'm happy, but being happy when others are miserable makes me sort of feel like the other shoe is bound to drop at some point).
Today includes an ice storm, C is at the grandparents since daycare is closed making the evening commute even longer and I'm fighting off a sinus infection. Any other day I would have stayed home and kept C with me, but it has to be the first day of campus classes. Monday, you do your work well.
Yes, we are! My appointment is on Friday but we're going to my parents' house on Sunday to cut into a cake that will have a pink or blue center so we won't find out until then. Cheesy I know.

Who is making the cake and how will they know to do blue or pink?

Oh, I remember you mentioning this a couple weeks ago. Did you find a pink and blue dress?
I have been kind of phoning it in on my work outs since V was born and I've kicked it up over the last week. I've been sore everyday, but in a good way and I really love it.
NQB-- I can't WAIT to find out what you are having. I am guessing boy.

It's a bakery near my parent's house. Someone from the OB's office is going to call them on Friday.

No I gave up on the dress hunt because I figured I would be the only person dressed up and I would look foolish, especially if it's zero degrees that day. I may try and find a pink scarf to wear with a blue shirt but half my shirts are blue so that's not too hard.

We dealt with this a LOT in the past 2-3 years, and our friends come to us for marriage and relationship advice. After hearing their issues firsthand, it is hard to look at some of them the same way again, like before we knew their issues. And it makes us compare our relationship, both in positive and negative ways. For instance, "thank goodness we don't snipe at each other in public like X and Y, that is kinda embarrassing..." and also "X and Y have been married for (2 years more than DH and I), I wonder if in 2 years we'll be like that".

That's adorable. The OBs office calling the bakery is AMAZING. I can just IMAGINE the looks my no nonsense midwives would have given me if I asked about this. They would be all REALLY??
It's supposed to be 72 degrees here today but the office heat is still on (we don't control it). I'm dying.
I have an addiction to buying wrap dresses. Consequently, I have a bunch of cheap, ill-fitting ones because I found them on sale before maternity leave ended and I look awful in them but my PP clothes don't fit yet.

Yeah, we've dealt with the bolded recently, and it was just so embarrassing to have to watch.
MH and I had one argument in front of friends several years ago when we were first dating, and it was so humiliating that we both agreed never to do it again.
We are going to stop TTC for a month or two to make moving easier (e.g., so I am energetic and can help lift and carryheavy stuff). My lack of sadness about that shows me how much I really want to move.
Also, I found stacks and stacks of letters, cards, notes and pictures H and I had given each other through the years. Scrapbooks, lists of why we loved each other, etc. I'm so glad I kept all that...but it made me realize that we don't do much of that anymore, and I'm determined to bring the romance back. We're very happy, but we get too caught up with the businss of life.

I'm filling out the enrollment and financial aid forms to get DD1 signed up for preschool in the fall. Holy hell, I think it's more complicated than enrolling myself or DH in college!
So this girl just randomly shows up today and my boss's boss is like, Hey this is X, she's on your team now. And my boss is like WTF, ummm, a little heads up would have been nice.
Not to mention, we have no work for this girl. Seriously, I mean, she can sort of hang out while I'm out on mat leave, but otherwise, we don't need her. I feel bad b/c apparently she requested some sort of transfer to our office.
Hopefully in a week or so, they'll transfer her to a team that needs her.
