Last night we went to the awards and my team only took silver for best marketing team of the year. Bummer.
I think you guys all gave me your colds because I feel super sick today. I just came in for 2 meetings and a flu shot, but I'm going to try and go home after that and sleep.
At the airport now... just realized I have an 11:30pm call tonight, which just sucks. Also, my foot really hurts - i hope I don't have a stress fracture (and boo hoo me because it's 100% my own fault for being a lazy ass and not training properly so you all don't have to feel sorry for me.. haha).
I'm so excited to get home. I had such a good trip, caught up with a lot of people I haven't seen in over 5-6 years, but I'm so excited to get home to Dave.
larzhope yes I can and I will feel sorry for you!! Nagging foot pain while trying to travel home sucks. Get to the doc when you get back to rule out a stress fx! My friend who just ran pdx was sure she had fractured her foot, but found out it's just a sprain and pt will fix it easily. No need to suffer. We've all done races we probably haven't trained for as well as we could have...
Thanks for asking UW. I'm about the same, but got a good report from the doc yesterday. He said I'm healing up perfectly and was surprised I was still in pain. I'm cleared to start working again on Thursday. my mom offered to come back today and help me for a few hours, so I'm happy I'll get to keep my foot elevated all day.
Happy Tuesday. I can not for the life of me remember where I ordered my Christmas cards last year. UGH. Where do you guys order yours? I want ones where I can write a little blurb on the back of it. Besides that nothing new today.

Morning!
So far so good on vacation. Bkb wants to go to Skymania this morning so we'll do that, then go to the store to get stuff to make cookies this afternoon. Should be a fun inside day.
minion - I love Minted, they have super cute stuff.
Ugh, traffic was horrible again this morning. I'm ready to lose it and something has to give, soon. H and I are trying to figure out what to do about it but honestly I don't have many options other than looking for something else. Hard to do, but may have to be done
I was up at 4:30 so I had time to get dinner in the crock pot before I left for work.

Morning! I'm working from home today because we're going to pick up my new car! We decided on a Mazda3 hatchback. I'm so excited, and SO ready to dump my old car (that honestly sounds like it's bottoming out when going over any small dip on the highway).
Tonight I'm having a sushi dinner with some girlfriends at Billy Beach Sushi.
11 more, counting today. I sent in my resignation letter yesterday!
Since I now officially DGAF about work, I'm headed to yoga at lunch and leaving work early to pick up mom's car from the shop. Have a good one everybody!
I'm ready to kill H. Also, I'm going to seriously make him mad at me tonight but oh well. I would have finally had a good night's sleep after a week of poor sleep...except I woke up when he came to bed at 2am, then 2-3 more times because of his SNORING. This is the third time in as many days that he's been snoring. So he either needs to lose some weight (he only snores when he hits a certain range, outside of allergies of course) or sleep in the guest room. :@ Also, I've been watching too much Supernatural...I found myself wanting to keep some salt by the bed last night, haha.
Tonight I'm going to make jelly and figure out what to do with the remaining quinces.

@uwhuskygirl - thank you for asking. I'm headed out of the illness (whatever it is). I still feel like duke, but the stuff is loosening up and breaking free (which is nasty and gagging me) which is an indication that I'm getting better...right?
I'm at work today. Took me forever to get here again.
Tomorrow we enroll Tman in the new school. Thursday I tell his current school. I'm nervous about that, but so excited.
Tman is doing awesome in school, though, really settling in. He had been struggling, but his test grades last week were: 105% (extra credit was obviously issued), 96%, 97%, and 100% (this one being on penmanship - his first EVER 100% on a penmanship test - we celebrated with FROYO)! I hate to uproot him when he's catching his stride, but he'll settle in at the new place, too, soon enough and overall I anticipate a much better educational experience for him.
I will now AW my handsome boy. We went apple picking and these honeycrisps were about as big as his head:
@aellasbeth - Let me know if you need to get in touch with promoters to get into the clubs for free and H for a discounted price. I still have my contacts from my trip a few weeks ago. Have lots of fun.
Thanks @tiff & @uwhuskygirl - I will get on it. I'm waiting for H to approve the blurb I wrote.
Not much here today. Got some cleaning done and now I am trying to figure out what we are having for dinner. My meal plan is only so helpful. I think I've already used up all the "easy" meals.

I just made this for dinner last night and it was so good!
I'm calling today total meltdown Tuesday. The one day we need junior to wake up and get going he wants to sleep and throws the world's largest temper tantrum. H doesn't handle stuff like this well I am learning. He eventually turned it around but it was a rotten start to the day.
He is tentatively scheduled to start school Thursday morning. This will mean he has been out for almost 3 weeks.
Also I'm just going to quickly page meshimeshi here, because I was wondering how she was doing and how life in SA is? You're absent even more than I am so come check in lady!
Also InBetweenDays, what's the story (if there is one?) behind the new avatar?
No real story. The picture is of Robert Smith, the lead singer of The Cure (one of my favorite bands), who sings the song In Between Days. Decided to get rid of a personal photo for my avatar, and thought this was decent for being near Halloween
Also have to tell you that while I bought a new car today I haven't given up on my Model X dreams. Just couldn't wait that long. I'll live vicariously through you so you'll have to give the low down when you get yours!
Omg. D and I had the most fantastic experience at NOBU at Caesar's. My BFF's step dad's nephew is the beverage manager and the hooked us up. They planned out a menu for us to get the whole experience. It was the most amazing dining experience of my life guys. I even ate raw yellowtail sashimi!! FIRST TIME EVER! One of the dishes they brought out was a perfect medium rare filet mignon that was to DIE FOR. Melt on your tongue, orgasm in your mouth good. We also had a tempura rock shrimp and they brought out some sushi pieces for D and a Alaskan black cod in a butter lettuce cup, which were both amazing and finally dessert of green tea ice cream, miso tarte and a semisweet molten chocolate cake.
