happy tuesday that feels like monday!

[jennlin]

yay! only 3 more wake-ups until the weekend!

we were supposed to hang out with a friend yesterday..but she was flakey as heck...our original plans were for her and her h to come over to our house and have dinner...she kept changing the plans over and over because her h wanted to "enjoy the sun"...and she waited until about an hour after we were supposed to start hanging out to suggest going over to her MIL's house for a bbq. in buttfck nowhere. no thank you. we have make-up plans to hang out today, but i'm kinda mad and don't want to. ugh.

the laundry detergent i made yesterday was a success! i used a fresh bath towel, though, and i'm not sure if i loved the way it felt on my face.....but i don't know if it was even one that was fresh-washed or was washed last week and i was just being nit-picky. i'll have to see. the rest of the clothes are good and fresh, though.

have a great day everyone!

I don't wanna go back to work today. Booooooooo.

I have a ridiculous amount of stuff to do at work and at home this week. I'm not looking forward to any of it. I'm ready for this weekend.

Happy Tuesday!

Kiddos come to school tomorrow! And new families come and visit today later this afternoon. I've been working on my school schedule and it is so weird this year, I think I have it, but I'm not sure I like it. I guess we'll see how it works when the kids come tomorrow :/

We've been dogsitting my mom's dog and she is so stinking cute. I didn't want the dog on my lap while I drink coffee so I said "Go Night, Night!" and she just walked over to her crate like it was no big deal and she is laying down and leaving me alone. She's just laying there, being a good dog. I feel bad though, I'll be gone all day and so will DH. She will definitely need walking this afternoon!

Good morning!

It was oh-so-hard to wake up this morning. Then once I was up, my dog came over, plopped down, stretched out both front feet and planted them firmly on my foot. And gave me her saddest "mamma don't leave me" look. Made me sad.

I learned the hard way this morning that stevia is gross in coffee. Guess I'll have to follow the mass office migration to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte. Bummer.

Morning everybody! We're recovered from the weekend and ready for work, but we still need to finish cleaning up the house. Major Tom has become a whiny terror -- he knocked his food bowl off the counter on Sunday and broke it, and he just meows like crazy whenever anyone is in the kitchen, thinking they're going to feed him. And then after that he hops on your lap and naps. HOW CAN I GET MAD AT YOU CAT WHEN YOU ARE THIS ADORABLE.

Have a good Tuesday everybody!

Morning! I'm with UW and ready for the weekend I have a short week this week so it is my Thursday. We planned these vacations too close, I'm going to get bored waiting until next year now...

Nothing too exciting this week, other than I'm going to try crossfit tomorrow if I get out on time.

Is anyone interested in a running/working out challenge for September? I set some goals for myself but challenges are more fun! It would just be friendly, no money, just fame and glory as the reward!

Definitely! I'm always up for the extra motivation

Good morning! My dog gave me the sweet, sad puppy eyes when I was leaving this morning too. I don't feel too bad for him, since he spends the day sleeping... lucky lil' bum!

This week is going to be stressful. I'm procrastinating because I'm not looking forward to tracking people down and harassing them to do their job so that I can do mine I'm already counting down to my next paid day off (Thurs, 9/27 for the UW/Stanford game!).

Good morning!

I'm at work, M is with the nanny, and DH is home sick. I told him next time I'm sick, he needs to take M to the nanny so I can get rest, because this is NOT fair. Good thing I'm off on Thursday.

Traffic today was awful. We have 3 high schools and about 4 elementary schools in our immediate area, and I can't take our "back" way because of where the nanny lives. Ugh.

Hope everyone has a good week!

happy tuesday!

my tummy has been acting weird since yesterday. i don't know what the problem is but i'm eating very healthy starting today until my birthday. i'm channeling uw so that i can drop 11.69% of my body weight. i'm actually hoping to lose like 15%... we'll see.

hope everyone has a great day! the sun is shining, so hopefully it's good.

oh and picks- i was late to work today because traffic was so bad! i feel ya!

SFGAL - booo!!! Hope your foot/ankle gets better fast!!
PICKS - OMGOD, I'm DYING over your new siggy pic! That soapy hair curl and big grin is KILLING ME!!!

MKate & Lauralynne - I need the help!! After dropping 4 pounds that have stayed off, I can't seem to find my motivation!! I keep overeating for my calories for the day and i have a minimum 5# to go to be in my comfort zone (but 10 for where I'd actually love to be).

Stupidly gardened yesterday in a strappy tank with no sunscreen, so my upper back is all pink and itchy, itchy, itchy! H and I went on a date yesterday...his typical "its somewhere around here" vague plan for food where I get too hungry and cranky/unfunctioning. We ended up at Mexican on Broadway where the rum and coke was made apparently with just a splash of coke for color so that knocked back the headache that was threatening to return! We went and watched an indie movie based on a comic we heard on This American Life and then went to Dilettante for dessert. H's coffee was REALLY GOOD, but I chose the wrong cake, it was just ok, not amazing. I didn't even finish it. Dreamed I was going back to school today and woke up with a fluttery tummy. (I always had an upset tummy the first day of school, even first semester day all throughout college!) THANK GOD IT'S A SHORT WEEK

Haha, thanks! She was being a big ham and DH snapped that one.

Good morning! I took Tman to his first day of 2nd grade this morning, and then just had coffee with the mother of one of his classmates. It was nice.

The house is quiet and lonesome. I need to start cleaning. I let the deep, deep stuff go during the summer (baseboards, corner ceiling dusting, drawer straightening, etc.) so I'm not spending the whole day cleaning during Tman's vacation. I need to get back into the flow of doing those things. I know I will feel good when I start seeing the place sparkle, but I'm having a hard time getting up and going. I just got home 10 minutes ago, so I'm going to give myself another few minutes before I get in gear. I'm hoping to get a walk in today as well.

We had a last hoorah pizza and movie "family night" last night before school starting. Other than that, we did zero yesterday. It was nice and relaxing.

Good morning!

I had SUCH a great weekend! So much fun! Lots of time with friends, Bumbershoot was an absolute blast. (other than one of my friends having a crappy attitude for the first hour or so - not so fun.) I got to see my uncle, and the rest of my family. It was a really good time. I am, however, exhausted from it all. But, I'm okay with that.

Not much going on this week. Try to catch up on laundry and grocery shopping, and all that stuff that I neglected to do all weekend.

Not much going on this week

Good morning! Well I'm not so sure it's a good morning. I had nothing but nightmares last night and slept like crap.

The first nightmare was that we had a second child with the same condition as Edmund and we were at Children's getting ready for his lip repair and things started to go horribly wrong. The had taken him back to surgery and administered the anesthesia and he had a terrible allergic reaction to it. They called us and told us what had happened and that surgery wouldn't be happening because he was clinging to life.

The second was that my husband had gone to work like he normally does so E and I were alone. I heard someone come up the stairs and she started banging on my sliding glass door. It looked as if she had been shot. I let her in and was calling the police as the person who shot her walked in the door. We both were terrified and E was screaming and I couldn't do anything about anything without getting shot myself.

I'm tired today because of all that and am glad that I only have a 4 hour shift at work today.

Hello,

I am avoiding work. It is so hard to do a real project. I always get disracted because I am constantly interupted.

Today is just a normal day at work. So happy for the short week. My back feels better, but I still can't work out for a least a week. It makes me really sad. I was making really great progress on my running.

[BlackCanary]

I need to go into work for an hour or two to pick up stuff to mail but I am being very lazy. I also need to go to the bank after picking up my paycheck.

I'm going to be bringing a bunch of comics home to start selling on Amazon. Other than that I don't have anything planned.
