I almost bailed on going shopping this morning because it's cold and rainy and I hate malls on weekends. But I'm glad I went - I got a pair of jeans, a top, a fleece jacket and 2 pairs of socks for $42. I also got a potential dress for a wedding next month but it's a little big so I'm not sure (they didn't have my size so I sized up....figured I'd bring it home and see what I think later)
I got home just in time for all of the football games to be at halftime, boo. Also, the FedEx guy left my package in the middle of the porch in the rain, didn't even try and put it near the house. Double boo.

Awesome on the sales!! Boo in the package.
What wood gift did you end up getting btw?
Just nursing my sinuses today. Chicken soup for lunch, humidifier, working on getting a neti pot...
FSU game on.
I might actually go out to dinner with DH tonite. I can tell he's stir crazy, and needs adult time. (SAHD). As long as I feel decent, plus I'd really, really like French onion soup
Had a great workout class this morning so that was fun. I'm feeling kinda lazy, but I'm managing to tackle Mt. Laundry (4 loads!!!) DH is going to build a fire at some point today, our first of the season.
Way to power through on the shopping, HoneySpider! Sometimes the mall can be such a chore even though the end result is new stuff.

Yay! Someone in my neighborhood must have had one going this morning, it smelled so good!

spankswife For the wood gift I stole MrsMB's idea and got a compass...only I didn't engrave anything mushy on it It's a replica of the one used by Lewis & Clark, H is a history buff so I think he'll like it.
I also got a basketball t-shirt for his new university, not wood but pretty cool, it's one of those really soft vintage ones.

Weekend is going fairly well. DS is being a little whiny, so I'm over that, lol, but otherwise good. We went to the park this morning with a mom's group, then ended up driving a friend and her 2 kids home afterwards because her car wouldn't start. We got cupcakes as thanks - yum. DS is finishing lunch and then it'll be nap time, fingers crossed. Tonight we're going to dinner somewhere with a couple friends. The weather is beautiful so hopefully we'll spend more time outside this weekend. Also, DS is 3.5yo today! And I got my meds in the mail, start Gonal-f tonight. Come on, body, the kid is 3.5, please let me have another one, it's time! lol
Saw my parents and sister last night, which was nice. Then I spent way too much money between Goodwill and Scholastic buying books for my classroom library. And of course, booksale is this coming week at school. I need more money to buy more books.
We went for frozen yogurt last night with a friend who's moving out of state. This morning, I went to see my goddaughter cheer and her brother play football, then to the library, and then went out for lunch with H. We might go see a movie tonight, but more than likely we will just watch DVRed shows and go to bed early. I'm sleepy.

So far it's going well. Yesterday I had PTO so I spent the morning shopping and got a bunch of stuff (had birthday money to spend and started my Christmas shopping!). Then my H got off work early and we went and saw Gone Girl and went out to dinner.
This morning we went (along with our parents) to CPR class. My hands are actually sore now! Guess it means I was doing it right, the instructor did say it is exhausting. Then H and I went out to lunch.
It's cool but gorgeous out. The trees are starting to change colors and are beautiful. I love early fall, before the weather gets crappy and all the leaves fall off the trees- it's my favorite time of year!
Now we're just relaxing. I'm trying to meal plan for the week and need to straighten up the house and clean the bathroom. We'll probably watch a Halloween movie tonight. Tomorrow we are going to the gym, working outside cutting down plants for the season and putting away the outside furniture, and giving the dog a bath.

Oh, and this week I ordered a ton of maternity clothes online from Old Navy and Macy's and it showed up today. I am shocked I only have to return 4 things!
No one came to my spin class until 20 min in, and then she said she just wanted to put in headphones and do her own thing.
Both my fittings this morning were terrible.
I have to work tonight.
Despite all of these things, it HS been a great day. I have been saving 2 wedding dresses to alter (both fun and relaxing projects, not stressful) and spent some time sewing and watching Gilmore girls. Hopefully I can get a shitload of work done tonight, and DH will be up for going out to the bars after I get done at 10.
Got some stuff done at the house. DH and I will go to Lowe's in the morning to get a few things and maybe do a bit of work.
We are getting ready to eat leftover Chinese and watch the end of the movie he kept falling asleep to last night. Loving our us time after having a family vacation.
So I was wondering why our checking account was so high this morning...turns out the mortgage payment didn't go through. I also forgot to post my discussion for my online class on Thursday.
I don't know what is up with me lately. I feel physically and mentally exhausted most days by the time school is over that I come home and crash.
jjwritergirl- I hope your DH gets on board fast and you guys write an offer (and pray that it's accepted!)!!
Our weekend is going great! I had yesterday off so I slept in a little (woke up at 6:15 when DH had to get in the shower), went for a walk, worked on thank you cards, my mom came over and we went to my aunt's house for a bit, and then I came back and worked on the nursery before taking a nice long nap! It was great spending time with my mom...I will update later but her health is really in question right now and it's been really hard on me lately.
Today we left early and made the drive to my dad's city. We bought DH's paddleboard (his bday and x-mas present from me, his parents, and his grandma). I got there early and had time for breakfast at the local bagel shop. After picking up the paddleboard we went to the harbor and DH and I went touring around for a little while- it was a ton of fun! We brought the board back to my dad's where we will store it til Memorial Day (then it will go to his parent's at the river til Labor Day since we will be out there more in the summer). We did a ton of errands on the way home (BBB, BRU, Lowe's, Home Depot, and Costco). Now we're home and relaxing!
