I have a bunch of errands that need taken care of that are work-related but have nothing to do with me actually getting any work done - car wash, oil change, trip to office supply store. I feel like I'm setting myself up for a really unproductive day.
Last night some guy came by our house to discuss the easements for our neighborhood's sewer replacement/upgrade. It reminded me of a thread on MM a few years ago where someone was like "I really want to buy this house, but it has an easement." Everyone was horrified and agreed that it would be the worst thing ever to buy a house with a permanent easement. I thought it was an overreaction at the time...it's seriously NBD. And to make it MM, the city has some ancient code that they have to pay $1 per easement. So I made a whole $2!!
Ok so this is probably dumb but what's an easement? ewall
Basically giving permission for someone to have access to your property for a certain purpose. My understanding is that it's mainly for utilities (which are essential to a household so that's why I think it's NBD!) On our property, we currently have two permanent easements...one for our sewer line and one where our neighbor's sewer line runs through our yard to connect to the main line. We are actually going down to one permanent easement with the new redesign. Permanent means they can come in at any time to work on the city's portion of the line...usually only if there was an issue with it. I guess it could be annoying if you had trees? They are removing one of our trees to lay the new line and the tree will not be replaced because they don't want roots near the line.
There will also be a temporary easement which is just allowing them the right of way to our property should they need it during the project.

Nothing much is going on here. I'm looking forward to the weekend. It's raining here today, so the dog was in hibernation mode this morning and very begrudgingly got up to go outside.
I have the day off, wahooooo! My day is filled with TV catch up, dishes and cleaning. Possible chat with my mom. Haven't talked to her in a while. Then H is renting a movie this evening after he's off work (Yay for free redbox DVD's) Then we are booking his EMT testing tonight to get the ball rolling for him to take all his paramedics schooling in fall. (He finishes his Fire Science degree in May)
I also really need to order pictures from Walgreens, I hope they have a deal going!
travelbug Not sure what deals/pricing Walgreens has, but Target Photo is 30% off ship to home right now which works out to $0.10 per 4×6 print. Code is APRPRINTS
We had parents' day this morning at DD's school, and it was so cute! They sang a song that was "hello" in a bunch of different languages. Then they had gifts for us that they made, and showed us around the room. I love seeing her in her setting
Then I had a dr appt this morn. Little man is doing fine, he is just really big. He measured 10 lbs 2 oz this morning!! 12 days to go - omg he could be close to 11 lbs. I feel like he is going to skip an entire drawer of clothes - yikes! But he is so cute and chubby <3
spankswife I can't wait to see that little chubby guy!
jjwritergirl I would totally come to a WC craft night!! Maybe we could host a virtual wine and craft night on the board, lol. I'll be the one that came just for the wine Although I really need to investigate these coloring books that you ladies keep mentioning.

Everyone on FB keeps sharing pictures of hummus talking about the listeria issue. It's just making me want pita chips and hummus. Pretty sure that's not the goal though!
I turn 35 on Saturday and I have the birthday blues. I just don't feel into celebrating, I was like this when I turned 30. Is this normal? It's not really even an age thing...I'm not sitting around and thinking, 'oh jeez, I'm gettitng so old' Nothing like that. I just feel like there is a dark cloud hanging over my head and I can't shake it. My husband wants to celebrate and go out with friends for dinner but I honestly just want to be by myself and hide under the covers all day. My husband is confused at why I don't want to do anything or be around anyone, it's not clicking with him. So he's throwing the guilt trip on me by saying, "this is why we don't have many friends, because you don't want to go out when we actually have a reason to" Like that's making me feel any better about the situation.
We're due to get some super bad storms this afternoon/evening. Already had a few thunderstorms and my big 90 pound pup runs to my lap at the first sound of thunder. My 12 pound 3 month old pup is all "whatevers. let's play!".
travelbug Walgreens photo is 50% off right now. I was looking at getting some printed.
jjwritergirl I wish I could come to craft night! Sounds like so much fun!
Today was awesome!!! MIL babysat for 4 hours. I got to have lunch with my mom, clothes shop, go couponing... it was perfect. We could have kept going for sure but didn't want to burn MIL out so she will do it again sometime.
I have to go food shopping after work tonight since DH has surgery #1 of 4 tomorrow. Once I get home I need to do some housework. I hope to be in bed by midnight night after I get everything done.
