Ahhhhh Monday again. I had a gym session this morning and my arms are so tired I can barely hold up my phone to post this. this week is super quiet and low key, so im hoping it means I can get lots of sleep.
Happy Monday all!
@aellasbeth, what flavors of cake are you getting?
My phone took a swim last night. I'm hoping it is actually insured so I don't have to buy a new one, but that also means I'll be off the grid for a couple of days till a replacement one comes. I hate phones and dealing with them.
It's H's last week at his current company, so he was in this great mood all weekend. T minus 5 work days till we are off for a week.
No clinicals this week so I am hoping to attack the giant laundry pile I have accumulated. I cannot wait for this quarter to be over so I can have time to clean the house again.
We are getting white cake with raspberry filling and pumpkin spice with cream cheese filling all frosted in buttercream
ETA...its Monday. I woke up and I am just feeling a little tired and dehydrated dtoday. Hopefully I can up my water intake today. I also brought stuff to make peach cobbler at work today. I will make all of them love me!!!!!
Good morning! Today would have been my 7th anniversary. Kinda crazy to think how much things have changed. The funny thing is, I was really only reminded of this because of the Time Hop App, and my previous years FB posts.
Tonight, wax appointment, and then hoping to go to my parents and wash my dirty car. Which, also makes me hope that my mom is making something yummy for dinner and I can eat there, and not grocery shop! Win win!
I slept so poorly last night, which was a total bummer. I fell asleep sometime in the 3-4am hour and the alarm went off at 6 for a few early morning meetings this morning. I'm feeling okay now, which I'm so thankful for, but I think around 2pm I'm going to be sleepy sleepy!
I have meetings all week, so it will be a busy one, with a morale event on Friday and a baby shower that I"m helping to throw (I'm making the cupcakes, which I can't eat any of since I won't be done with whole30, though I may cheat and have one bite of the one I give H to try so that I know I'm not serving awful cupcakes).
Happy Monday all!
ETA @uwhuskygirl, I totally forgot to comment on the mattress! I wish I could say we were doing something exciting, but I literally stripped the bed on Friday to wash the sheets and was like "WTF! I know H has looked like he's gained a little weight but it looks like a giant body slammed the side of the bed"
Good morning. Weekend was fantastic. Lots of sun and relaxing time. We spent a lot of time at the pool because I did not have the energy to try to herd my family around. We got home early yesterday and went to SLU park, that was fantastic. Tried a BBQ place down there called Cask & Trotter. Happy hour was good, bloody mary was very horseradishy. Now back to the daily grind.

Today is one of my "telework" (read: nap) days. We had a gun safe delivered and installed this morning, and then we have new furniture coming from Ikea sometime after 11.
I was having contractions all last night and I was hoping they'd go somewhere but this morning, nada Dan and I are both starting to get impatient.

I have a busy day ahead. I had an early morning meeting as well, and then PT tonight. I have so much work to do. The day should go buy fast. Bonus we get free lunch from Panera today so that'll be nice.
My employeer is fixing my gift match for my three day walk today. I am so freaking happy! I just have to raise $245 more dollars. Even if I don't raise it I'm totally cool with donating it myself. I thought I was going to have to dance in a tutu downtown or something to get the rest of my money. I'm so excited for this walk!

Good morning! It's the last week in the office for me, until I have a week of PTO! It's going to be a busy week for me at work and at home. I'm hosting a Bachelorette party on Saturday, and I'm probably going to drive myself crazy since I'm a Type A detail-obsessed planner.

Morning. I wasn't sleepy last night until way after midnight, and of course, I'm terribly sleepy now. Office CW is out sick today and I'm tempted to put my head on my desk and nap for a bit. Took mostly a lazy day yesterday to recover from too busy Saturday. Just read a bunch, and worked more on the cleaning the kitchen. That should finally get finished tonight. Ugh, and I'm a failure this month. I realized when I got in to work that today is the 28th and the Amex bill is due the 27th, missed that payment I missed all 3 CC payments this month!!!

I am more than willing to be your taste tester. Cupcakes are my weakness! Which day are you? Don't awaken the sugar dragon now... You need to find a trusty friend to taste test for you. Or a kid. They tend to be pretty honest. Haha.

H and I are going out to lunch in a few with his great aunt and uncle. I love them to death, so it should be good. Plus they have excellent taste in food, so I'm excited to see where lunch is.
Then tonight we are meeting some of my friends for dinner and trivia night. I love trivia,so it should be good even if I don't like my friends' company. Haha. We have drifted a lot and actually didn't talk at all this past year that we were abroad. And we only just saw each other two days ago for like 15 minutes. Sooo...I'm leaving in two weeks and only saw her. It's clear that we both really care about this friendship. Idk. However, she has been storing our stuff while we've been abroad. so that is awkward. I don't know what to do about it...

Today is day 22, that will be day 26 when I make them. Part of me also feels like, though, that I should be able to have 1 bite of a cupcake, and still have enough self control to a) not eat the whole thing) and b) go back to no sugar for the remaining 4 days, because an "all or nothing" approach just wont' be sustainable for me in real life - I need to learn to practice moderation. If H thinks they are amazing, though, I don't know that I'll feel the need to taste them as he is a picky cupcake eater. We'll see how it all shakes down - if I think it might be a slippery slope to my demise, then I likely won't indulge.
Haven't checked in on here in a while but I'm avoiding work and wanted to say hi. I'm finally getting antsy about this baby coming and hoping he makes his appearance sooner rather than later. We had a busy productive weekend getting a bunch of baby stuff ready, which was a nice change from both of us basically ignoring my impending due date.
I went to buy the last few things for M's big girl room this morning. Now the room is ready for the inlaws to arrive and use this weekend, I just need to blow up the air mattress and possibly duct tape a hole or two. Besides that I got my car all cleaned out and seats shuffled around so all 6 or us fit comfortably for the time they are here. Now I want to bake but it's so hot! Damn oven for heating up the house when used.
Checking in briefly. I have an in person interview scheduled for this Thursday with $bigcompany. Vibes would be appreciated.
I am nervous as hell and been trying to study all weekend and now week. It is totally clouding my birthday tomorrow, but my husband pulled through and got me my cake for my birthday, if a little early. XD Happiness is in really yummy cake.
I gave in and did some baking. Banana bread, and colorful cupcakes that for my sanity I'll not be getting iced so the monster can eat them and not send me to a padded cell

I see your point. I will argue though that it's not only a self control issue IMO. I think it's more that cupcakes have a lot of other non-compliant things, like flour, sugar, butter, milk. etc.... You would be reintro-ing all of those things at once, and 4 days early.
meshimeshi, I know you're right. I really don't even like cupcakes that much (flameworthy, I know. I'd much rather bake them than eat them), so I'm probably better off just not having the bite
