I don't see one started yet. It's not even 5 here but already getting dark thanks to the time change, which I hate. So it feels like evening here.
We just got back in town and I'm missing my dog We left her at my parents' because we're getting windows installed tomorrow and having a furnace guy come over; it's just easier that she is not here, so they are driving her back tomorrow night. The house is empty and weird without her and I don't like it.
I'm excited though that this means I am not going to work tomorrow (took a personal day). Plus our windows are from 1961, so I need new windows.
It's dark here too. It's dusky outside, but it's downright dark inside.
I haven't turned a light on bc my kitty is sleeping next to me and she's not usually a snuggler so I am not going to get up or she'll move.
My H has been at work all day. I'm trying to decide if it is ok to ask him to stop and pick a few things up from the grocery store on his way home. It's really cold for a walk to the store.
Yay new windows! This weekend was kinda blah, first weekend in 2.5 months that both H and I are in the house. (which means lots of laundry and grocery shopping). Also, my race today went poorly (for me), but I run with a group is awesome so they made up for it. Oh and the wine I am drinking is delicious
I hope tomorrow flies by so you can get your dog back! It is amazing how much noise, that fades into every day background noise, dogs make and when they aren't around it just feels too quiet.
I made a winter purse this weekend and I LOVE it. I'm not a huge purse person and just need something to hold all my junk, so it's like a soft tote with straps made with winter fabric.
I also finished my jelly roll quilt today. It went ok, I will not ever be making quilts for a living. lol.
Now meatloaf is in the oven and I'm cursing day light savings because I dislike nightfall at 5pm.

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
I got cute tights at Target to go with my new dress: grey ribbed and a burgundy with grey polka dots. Not sure which I'll wear tomorrow, but I'm happy to have options. Both will look good with my grey ankle boots.
I colored my hair this morning, back to dark brown. I like how it makes my eyes pop and look more green.
I am obsessed with NYX cosmetics.
Stew is stewing in the crock pot. Cat is on my lap. And I'm reading "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking." I know some folks who said it really helped them, and the book cover includes quoted from people like Ellen Degeneres, Angelica Huston, Anthony Hopkins and Jason Mraz. So it must work! Lol.
In short, I am boring and lazy today, and I like it.
The App Store on my iPhone won't update. I started an update on my IMDb app and now the update portion is frozen. It's irritating me and I son't know how to fix it.
I have a tension headache and it sucks. My weekend was very uneventful. I'm hoping this week flies by as I'm getting excited for vacation starting on Saturday!!
I'm making chili for the first time. I am REALLY hoping it turns out well because I have been craving it for the last copule of weeks.
My football team is 9-0! I don't remember a time when we had a winning team, although the fair weather fans are really annoying me. I have been a fan through the horrible last few years, and now that we are winning, everyone has jumped on the bandwagon.
I'm so tired. I'm considering having a coffee so that I can get a boost to finish my housework, but I don't want to be up all night.
I really need to know how some people have kids who are extremely well behaved. I mean, Sofia's 2.5, she's bound to be a little shit, and she's good about 80% of the time, but once she gets in that "I don't give a shit and I'm going to do whatever I want" mode (which is usually when she refuses to nap, like today) it fucking sucks. I'm tired of repeating myself 800 times. "Sofia, don't put your hands in my water. Sofia, don't sit on your brother. Sofia, stop acting like a dog and eat with a fork". Ugh.
I beat H on a short obstacle course today, but only because he wiped out twice. His knee is all busted up and swollen which totally takes some of the pleasure out of my victory.
I'm a bit disappointed in the Trader Joe's sipping chocolate. It's a bit too rich for me.
Lol I almost always bake on the weekends, and I haven't this weekend, and my H just asked if I forgot today was Sunday. Apparently he's gotten used to having dessert and bread on the weekend.
So I may make cookies. Or at least boxed brownies. Brownies sound good.
The App Store on my iPhone won't update. I started an update on my IMDb app and now the update portion is frozen. It's irritating me and I son't know how to fix it.
I'm having issues with my iPhone as well. I have been listening to all the back episodes of a podcast and I can get back to #20 but no earlier. They exist! My friend is listening to them right now on her iPhone, but they just don't show up for me.
I didn't do my normal Sunday chores (only laundry and grocery shopping) which normally stresses me out, but fuck it. I don't care. I'm so tired from the game and going out this weekend. Got a case of the olds.
I woke up sick as a dog at 2am this morning - vomiting & a fever of 102. The fever finally broke around 6am and thankfully hasn't come back. Now I'm just left with a killer sinus headache.
DH has spent all day helping SIL move into town from an hr & a half away. I haven't heard from him since he left around 9 this morning so I really hope it's all going ok. He's going to be quite grouchy when he does make it home.

I just don't feel well today. I have had heartburn since I woke up, every move this baby makes hurts, I'm having random shooting pain in my vag. I just can't get comfy. I don't know how Im make it another 7ish weeks.
I'm kind of looking forward to going to work tomorrow because this weekend has not been very restful. H pulled a muscle in his back Friday, so he hasn't been able to help out this weekend. I cleaned the whole house and my family came over Saturday night. Today I've gone to church, get lunch, a quick trip to the store, and I still have to go to the gym.
Tomorrow I get to sit at my desk all day, and I don't think I have much on my calendar.
We just got home from our shower; we got sooo many things and almost $500 in gift cards, so there will be more shopping in our future. It was such a great afternoon, and it was obvious how hard my Mom, sisters, MIL, and SIL worked on it. Once again, just like with our wedding shower, I am floored by the amount of people who showed up and the things they brought. The best moment of the afternoon, though, was getting a Lion King lamp from one of MIL's friends who ordered from the wrong registry, lol. I'm tempted to send the other people the lamp, but I think we'll just return it instead. It was a really great end to a really great weekend, and I predict I will be asleep in about an hour and a half.

I have braised beef in the oven and it smells amazing. I also just got out of the bath. I pulled something in my back/neck and it killed. Dh, without Mr asking, went and ran it for me. He also did dishes while I was out grocery shopping. I'm trying to figure out what he did wrong or what he wants.

I'm prepping for our vacation to Punta Cana on Saturday! Only three shifts of work to go before I'm off! Did some laundry, ran some errands and now I'm painting my nails and watching the Ravens play terribly

I am DONE with my papers. I seriously thought they were going to kill me lol. Now I just need to do one last edit check and then submit them tonight.
D is working on hour 3 of her nap and when she wakes up we're going out to dinner. I plan on enjoying my study free evening with a cider and I can't wait

Snapped Killer Couples has been on all day while I've been cleaning. Current killer is from my town. Kinda crazy and random. It happened in 2002 and I lived a few towns over at the time, well and was in 6th grade, so I don't remember this.
