1. I am excited for babies
2. I am getting a massage tonight, everything hurts.
3. it finally got cold here which is awesome.
4. I am about 75% done with Christmas shopping.
5. I was complimented by my instructor this morning about the quality of my work.

I am envious that you are almost done with shopping. I haven't even started.

[margarita]

POMS!!! So cute.

Congrats smock and bowies!

1) I have started, and have now completed about half of my Christmas shopping.
2) I bought myself a new winter coat this week, and it is seriously the nicest, most beautiful winter coat I have ever owned.
3) Nordstrom was/is having a sale, so I treated myself to a few more new bras that I thought were really pretty.
4) I got McDonald's for lunch today. Not such a good thing with all of the healthy eating posts we've been trying to do here, but sorry I'm not sorry!
5) H and I are going on vacation soon!

And # 5 reminds me - I don't think any current TIPers do live in this area, but IF anyone lives in or will be visiting the Bradenton/Sarasota area of Florida, I will be there at the end of November through to early December. If anyone would be interested in meeting up, please PM me. I would love that!

And, 6) motzie is awesome, because she got us to do this post and focus on the positives this week. Thanks Motz!

Re: #3: I am going to Nordstrom Rack on Saturday to see what they have there bra-wise, if I don't find anything there I am heading to the mall that has both Nordy's and Macy's. I need new bras like whoa.

[margarita]

CE, I love Nordy's. Good Luck and have fun!

[cuddlyevil]

Thanks! I am excited. I just hope I can make it work (H may have to work this weekend again).

[sassycat]

Thanks for making us think great about ourselves.

Congrats, Bowies, and Smock,

1. I cleaned whole house top to bottom, it sparkles.

2. I AM GOING TO BE A GRANDMA. IRL people don't know yet.

3. I got my running around done today before my trip to florida. not a pleasure trip.

.
5. Just putting a smile on my face today and I did. Huge feat!!

[partiallysunny]

Congratulations sassycat! Is it yourdaughter who is pregnant or a son's SO?

[doctorchick]

Congrats to the moms-to-be! I love this post idea and totally needed something to make me less blah this week!

1) I participated in an MRI study this week and got to see my brain. I'm entirely biased (and a dork), and my brain is beautiful.
2) A pair of Duke basketball tickets arrived in the mail today, courtesy of my always-amazing bff.
3) My LBD doesn't fit because I'm back down to my high school weight.
4) The pot roast I made this weekend yielded enough leftover meat for four additional dinners with next to no work.
5) I have done zero Christmas shopping but have at least figured out what I need to get and make!

[wrathofkuus]

1. The construction in my house is going really well,

2. My foster buns seem to be thriving.

3. Mr. Kuus and I have managed not to kill each other thus far during the renovations, despite how tempting that life insurance money is.

4. I worked my ass off, and we got the grant submitted in time at work.

5. We're probably going to finish the revision to Kuus et. al. in the next two weeks.

Yes it is my daughter.   I am very exited, with all the sadness right now,  a new baby is going to make things better.
She has her US  on Monday,   and she invited me.  Then off to Florida on Tuesday, to help my big brother till the end comes.

I'm sorry about your brother. He is still hanging in there? Is you H going with you on Tuesday to Florida?

[cuddlyevil]

Sassycat, I just want to be clear that I am liking your getting to go to the US. I am glad you found a way to get to your brother, but I am sorry that it has to be under these circumstances.

[sassycat]

Thank you all. No my hubby isn't coming with me. He has to be home to make sure when the time comes, he has to be there with my mom when we tell her. Plus he is the major breadwinner, we need his paycheque to pay the flight. ( she is in a nursing home, and not taking this well).He has gotten much better with all of this. We had that come to Jesus chat, and he just didn't realize he wasn't comforting me as he should have. It will work out fine.

I am thrilled I was able to make it. Leaving on Tuesday and going to be able to bring a pic of new "gbean".

Thank you all again for the well wishes. He is not going to be around much longer, they don't give him until Christmas. So it is sad, as he was such a great person, and finally found the love of his life. That is the saddest part of all.

[margarita]

I'm so sorry sassycat.

4) I got my big midterm project back yesterday and I got 94/100

I love Scandal. We just started watching it at ladies night this week and I am hooked. I want to watch more now, I don't want to wait!

Me too! She wears a white silk Burberry trench in season 3 that I seriously intend to knock off and make for myself. It is fucking gorgeous.

Great job in your midterm captainmel!
