Morning!
I think we're going to Seattle to watch the game today. Which sucks because 520 is closed. I hope they appreciate the effort. I need to get in a run too before I go crazy. Wish the game was at one and not 10am for that reason. I miss summer.
Gearing up to watch the game at home in a few hours.
FTR, sleeping separately from my new husband is for the effing birds. He has been sleeping out in the living room upright on the couch because its the best way, without agitating his cough from the cold we had two weeks ago... this sucks.
The date deets: We met for dinner. We started talking and were talking so much we didn't look at the drink list until the waiter came by a twice and then we didn't open our menus for a long time after that. I think we were there two hours, maybe a little longer. He made it clear he was paying before I had to figure out how to offer to split it, so that was nice. Then we decided to go somewhere else for another drink. We went downtown and parked at his apartment and then walked to a bar. He suggested we could just have a drink at his place and I gave him a look that basically said, "No fucking way, nice try." So, we went to the bar. Lots more talking and laughing. I paid for those drinks, he said thank you. We left the bar after 10, he walked me back to my car, said we'd be in touch, and hugged (a nice, long hug) me goodbye. As soon as I left he texted me something like, "That's how a first date from the internet is supposed to end, right? I'm not sure." I said I have no idea, and then he said I could turn around and come back if I wanted to make out like teenagers. We texted back and forth a few times and then I went to bed. He was very nice, easy to talk to, and a gentleman. It was nice.
Today I'm going to pick up E in a few and go watch the game. I got nothing done yesterday, so my house is a mess, I have no groceries, and I have no idea when I'm supposed to do anything about it. Oh, well.

Morning! Quiet day here. Likely run some errands, watch the game, and take the kids to the park to play some basketball.
alias that sounds like a great date! He sounds very sweet - so glad it went well. I behaved myself and stayed home rather than try to be a creeper . Besides @uwhuskygirl would be disappointed because I don't know the first thing about tweeting.

BUT WHAT ABOUT A SECOND DATE?!?!?!
No plans yet. I'm sure we will talk soon. It's my birthday this week, so that complicates things.
I'm working on our holiday card design this morning. Who uses Tiny Prints? Am I super late to the party? If I order now do they ship pretty quickly?
Also working on fixing breakfast and getting pulled pork chili started in the crock pot. I can lay low all day so I'm attempting more time on my feet. And waiting for the Hawks game to start, of course. Hope everyone has a good Sunday!
I have to go get cash today at some point to pay for the half a pig I have to go pick up this week. Besides that it's just getting ready for wants going to be a VERY long week. H is working 10's all week, so the moneys going to be nice and its very much needed but blah, he is going to be such a bear by probably wednesday.

I'm on one of my flights home. I refuse to agree with H and take a non-direct flight home ever again. Of course he has a direct flight. Money shmoney. The guy next to me is clearly a nervous flyer which is driving me crazy.

I am no help. I went with Vistaprint and just ordered our yesterday. Ours our expected to be delivered on 11/26. I feel that is more than enough time.

I ordered from Tinyprints last year and you should be fine. We had some frustrations with them but in the end they came through. We ordered on December 3rd, and before I placed the order they estimated a delivery of December 9 or 10. Then I got an email saying to expect them on December 12 or 13. Then on the 13th I got an email saying they had just shipped and I should have them on December 17th.
I called to complain and they gave us 30% off that order, then later I got a $50 credit to use this year. So their customer service was pretty spot on.
I bought a treadmill yesterday. Now I need to clean up the office downstairs. It's being delivered next Sunday. We went to pf changs for dinner with friends last night and had horrible service.
I need to go grocery shopping today but I don't want to get out of bed. It's so cozy.

Thank you! I just ordered and the delivery date is estimated for early next week. I'm hoping to get them out the 1st week of December since we have a new address this year so hopefully they aren't too late.
I went to the gym yesterday! I got a guest 3 day trial pass and my bf came down and took me to the gym because I was being wussy. I did about 40 minutes on a circuit of elliptical/bikes and it felt good. I can't do any weights or anything due to the whiplash but have been antsy and ready for some lower-key stuff like walks but its too effing cold outside and causes more pain in my joints. I'm kind of excited to go again today but it won't be as fun by myself. Then we nabbed dinner and went back to the house and chitchatted a while longer. H was at the Sounders meeting. I'm a pinball widdow again today as he's heading out soon to ANOTHER tourney.
I need to order Christmas cards...I usually do plain old grocery store cards but let's be real, everyone wants pics of my extremely adorable baby
I'm pretending I don't have to go back tomorrow. I've been put in a no win situation and after meeting with my sub on Friday, which should have made me feel better, I am far more worried about what this year holds for me. Plus I won't get to snuggle with babylefty all day. And I'll miss going to Costco at 10am in a weekday.

It really is the perfect time to go to Costco, minus the not having many/if any sample carts out yet.
I also need to figure out Christmas cards. I just have no motivation and I don't need to order that many to get the better deal that most places have so it makes me even less motivated.
