Happy Friday ladies!

[vtdiamond]

I'm heading to the airport now, were making a last minute trip to Florida to visit DHs grandparents. His grandfather is not doing well and does not have much time left so has asked to be surrounded by his family . DHs mom, uncle and cousins are already there, so wish me luck. I'm really sad though for DH he is very close to his grandfather, his grandfather is a really sweet man.

Hope the rest of you have some fun plans for the weekend, what are you all up to?

Thinking of E and his family! Have a safe trip.

I'm at my OB's office right now. All the huge bellies are so cute.

I'm so sorry VT. Safe travels.

Tonight DH is going to NJ and DD and I will likely just hang out. I haven't figured out what to do with her tomorrow. Maybe Rock wants to meet us in the city? Sunday we'll likely chill until Daddy comes home. Very boring weekend, thank goodness.

SO sorry, VT... sending warm thoughts.

& for my Friday, I am so excited to announce I got the offer for the job from the state! It's even more $ than originally mentioned - in fact, it's a 29% increase from what I'm making now. I'm floored... excited, & scared, but it'll be awesome.

That's FANTASTIC!  Congratulations!!!  What kind of work will you be doing?  If you mentioned before I'm sorry I forgot.

I'd be working for the state - MassHealth... as the accounts payable supervisor.

I'm sorry to hear about his grandfather. Losing people you care about is hard.

I'm cleaning at my mom's and then once again I'll be painting. At some point I will be done.

Nothing planned for tonight other then going to the gym. I think I'm going to schedule a mani/pedi for tomorrow. I haven't had a pedi in forever. Sunday H has off so after we have a contractor come over to give us a quote on finishing the bathroom walls we'll be heading up to Portland to visit some friends who just had thier first baby.

vtdiamond, I'm sorry to hear the bad news.  Have a safe trip.

hellzkitten, congratulations!

I've been sick with a cold all week and am still getting over it, so no big plans for me.  Hopefully getting some stuff done around the house, and lots of rest.

Oh, I'm sorry vtdiamond that sucks. 

Congratulations hellzkitten!

We're doing seder dinner at my inlaws tomorrow night, I think. And our best friend's bday is sunday, so I imagine we'll be doing something that day.

VTdiamond, so sorry to hear about your family.

Today has been a little crazy. I went to work and started feeling really hot and nauseous around 11 am. Then I had to run to the bathroom and throw up

I went home and now I have a bad headache.

[pinkroses]

Thanks, RockNVoll.  I've been bragging that I didn't get a cold all winter so I guess I had it coming. 

I was considering starting a new post for this but I'll just put it here: www.boston.com/names/2013/03/22/top-chef-winner-kristen-kish-taking-over-kitchen-menton/XQyetLQjjY8SQ6pNKSe3NM/story.html  Kristen Kish (Top Chef winner) will be the new chef de cuisine at Menton! 

LoveTrains, I hope you feel better.  Throwing up at work sounds miserable.

Thanks ladies. We've made it to Florida and are checking into the hotel then going over to the grandparents house. It's deary and overcast here, but is 75 degrees and no snow.

vtdiamond (hug) (hug2) Glad you made it to FL safe!

hellzkitten Congrats on the job!!! <)

People are coming to measure and take pics of every single room of the house on Monday for the refinancing process. I had never heard of this, and I'm peeved that I have to spend my weekend cleaning. I wonder if I can pile my crap in one corner of the room and tell the photographer to stand from that angle to take the pic, LOL.
