1. Rubes is definitely a farm kid. Her new words of the week are MUD and STUCK. Ha!

2. I really like the Joe Fresh Line at JCP. I bought 2 dresses and they're both awesome.

3. I also really like Warner's bras. Esp. the Back to Smooth and the Elements of Bliss. No weird lumps, form to me great, still great support but no wires. H asked me on the way to church what I had on because my chest looked good..ha! I'm happy to find something that fits great since having kids. Downfall is...they're not the most attractive. I wouldn't say grandmotherly, but sex appeal there is not..lol. Pretty boring and basic. They're also like $16.00 so whatever.

4. My parents stopped by today. They were both crabby. They must've b*tched at each other the whole car ride. I was like "Good to see you too! Thanks for wasting my relaxing Sunday on your case of the cranks!"

5. H and I went to a wedding last night. It was simple and casual by internet standards. It was kind of awkward though. The bride is a nervous person in general and it really showed yesterday. It was like the whole reception was on edge because of it. She also DIYd 99% of her wedding, which was a ton of work and stress. She was literally assembling her own cake at the reception. We all got to eat before the head table becuase her waitresses were tweens who honestly didn't know better. We all had to move our own tables for the dance and the bride helped. They folded up too many tables so there was nowhere to sit. She had no bridesmaids (Just 2 neices who were 12) to help her out, but 4 personal attendants who literally went above and beyond and ran their a$$es off all day. (One was my bf..and she was just exhausted by the dance). I feel bad for the bride, she didn't even enjoy her own day because she was so busy making it all flow together. Oh well. The beer was free, the food was good, they're married so whatever. I laughed on the way home when H said, "I'm glad we paid people to take care of this sh*t for us." If my H noticed, it must've been bad.

Sorry, that's a novel today!

LOL, love this post.
The BEAUTIFUL weather is on my mind, and getting my garden into shape, which I have been working on all weekend.
Spring is the time for planting all my annuals. I have many window boxes and containers to fill, and every spring I go broke buying flowers, but they're SO PRETTY!!!

DH is getting Emma's name tattooed on his back, under Brook's name. I am nervous to see it - I am not a big fan of tattooes but he loves them and I think it's sweet. Hopefully it turns out good.

I am thinking about how I need to clear out the dead stuff from my flowerbeds this afternoon but I really don't feel like it. I'm working on a mountain of laundry and tidied the house so it's not like I am being lazy My neighbors are raking their lawn and sweeping their sidewalk and it is making me feel guilty.

[pamela]

Beware of the word stuck! For 6+ months now, everything is stuck. If it doesn't do what my son wants it to do, it's stuck. Trains, his shoes, his cousins who don't want to get out of bed. All stuck.

[sierramist03]

DH is home this weekend and it's amazing!! Ive had soo much fun. I just dread the week or weeks it is until I see him again. It's kinda like we are dating again. We actually went to dinner and a movie last night. I'm so thankful we have facetime for the in between times.

We went shopping for DH some clothes but we are both so cheap especially since he was just wanting some basic quick dry polo shirts we came home with one shirt which we ended up taking back today because it wasn't long enough. We found one at walmart which is fine because there isn't a logo on it. I am going to keep an eye on the clearance laster this summer.

I have started buying items slowly for my new craft room which makes me happy! My grandma is giving me a new sewing machine too since I'm needing an upgrade

I'm really stressing out about me not finding a similar paying job where my DH is now working. DH loves his new job and it's a great opportunity for him. He is actually being consider to become the new director of the whole ymca is 2 years!!

[tarheels]

Tomorrow starts 3 weeks of me moving into the library to study 8+ hours a day. I gave myself this afternoon off to do laundry and cook some freezer meals... I'm laying on the sofa watching Golden Girls trying to convince myself to go to the grocery store. Really, I'm going, I'm going.

We were OOT for a wedding this weekend and I came home to a thick stack of magazines in the mailbox - love! Tonight's plan includes them and a bubble bath

Speaking of the wedding... I am the groom's step-mother's niece-in-law. Far enough removed, hm? All relatives had to arrive TWO HOURS early for the wedding for photos. DH and I were in two, count 'em, two photos (naturally, because we're so far removed). They took, of course, 4 minutes tops. We spent the rest of the time in the venue's silent lobby awkwardly making small talk with the bride's family that we'd never met before. We left at 9 pm because by then we had been at this wedding for FIVE hours and were so done. That's definitely something I'd tell brides: do all the photos you want before the wedding, but take the big family photo immediately after the ceremony - you'll only miss 5 minutes of cocktail hour.

i've tried to lay pretty low all weekend b/c at work on Friday i had a dizzy spell that was more than anything i have experienced. took me back to the few months prior to our wedding and about 4 months afterwards when i had vertigo (ultimately was diagnosed with a minor inner ear damage and physical therapy taught me to compensate for it). anyway, saturday my upper abdomen really had a lot of tightness until i laid down to take a nap with my 3 year old. everything has been normal ever since.

i am finishing up a nice little handmade spring dress. it is old-school crochet, but i think it looks adorable. i plan on making a coordinating diaper cover/bloomer set and a headband with a flower on it. best part is that it isn't pink (it is so funny that i am so excited to have a little girl, but not a fan of pink).

can't believe we are already at sunday evening and the week is about to start again. the only upside of that is that it means we are another week closer to meeting this little girl and my life might not be so focused on the pregnancy as much (LOL, yeah, right--it will be all about the baby for a while, who am i kidding?).

[Deleted]

I'm exhausted. I need a day off to just relax and do nothing. We've been packing, moving, and unpacking since Wednesday. We still have tons to unpack and organize. <sigh>

And I have done zero to prepare for baby #2.

[heygrey]

i don't know whether to be happy or bummed that Joe is in the states now. it's one of my favorite places to shop, but, damn it, why can't canada have something good and not share? we miss out on so many good things from the states, this was our one small revenge, haha. i love their casual dresses for summer so much... and their swimsuits. their bottoms are actually wide enough to cover my whole bum and the quality is great for the price. i wore the same suit every single day last summer and it's still in perfect shape.

we just found out that our bffs are coming to visit next weekend. cue mad cleaning frenzy this afternoon and subsequently every evening this week. i'm so excited to see them, but nothing like last minute visitors to make you realize all the little things you've let go in your house.

[mrs.jacinthe]

We're having the best weather right now ... 70s and 80s with not even a chance of rain in the forecast. Bluebird skies.

We're leaning toward getting the parking lot resealed and then installing artificial lawn right over top. Totally low water, right? I don't think it'll take us long to install, since it comes in 15 foot wide sections.

I went to SW yesterday and gave them a lot of money in exchange for a lot of paint. Decided on a color for the office ... hopefully it was the right decision. Now to make a decision for the kitchen. Well, and actually do it.

We're about to sit out on our front porch with fried chicken, coleslaw, jojos, and beer. And it sounds marvelous.

[bunnymendelbaum]

I thought I'd feel relieved that we are under contract, but I don't. Money is still tight and I'm worried the people are going to back out.

idk if I ever said it on here, but I wanted to rent my neighbor's rental house right down the street. Well, after a long time on the market, he rented it 2 weeks ago. Bummed! But then today on Craigslist, I saw that the house right across the street from it will be for rent right when we need a house. Yippee! Hoping the guy calls me back.

[emoflamingo]

I went to Jazzercise with my MIL tonight and it was fun, but I'm not sure she'll go with me again. I don't like the low impact classes and she prefers them. You can do low impact in the regular class! And my SIL was supposed to go but she bailed at the last second.

The Fit & Flare dress from Old Navy? I love it! It fits great and I look awesome in it. Even if I'm walking around with a 4-month-pregnant pooch.

We JUST ate dinner. H is in the bathroom now getting sick. AWESOME. I guess I'm done with the internet tonight.

This weekend went by WAY too fast.  I just want summer already.  On my mind right now is my upcoming interview on Wednesday.  It's for a position at a school I would love to teach at, so I'm really hoping that I can blow them away in the interview and land the job.  I would love working at this school.  I'm just feeling ready to leave my current school for several reasons, and I know that I'd do well at the school that I'm interviewing for.  So if you're a praying person, prayers would be much appreciated!

Also, my downstairs is so peacock blue and... I totally love it!  I've got the second coat done on about half of the room, so I'll be finishing it up this week, then it's painting the trim and reattaching it.  I cannot wait to finally have the room back together and usable.

@justdairy I had a dream that I was over at your house.  I think emo and wop were there too.  I went to leave and all of a sudden you're like "you need to take your kid with you" and you bring out a toddler.  I'm like I don't have a toddler.  You kept insisting this toddler was mine.  I said something about "I don't have a carseat" and you said "Just buckle her in back, drive slow, you don't live that far away."

It was so weird, but I remember we were all having a good time hanging out.

[simpsongal]

We did so much landscaping this weekend, I'm exhausted. We also dropped over $500 on plants and whatnot -- I was not planning on spending so much

But hopefully, these plants will be here for 20+ years. The thought of tackling our huge garden is overwhelming. We'll be lucky if we plant 3 beds this year

1. I missed the registration deadline for a 5k I'be training for since January. I feel like an idiot. I'm supposed to be doing with friends so I need to find a way in some how. It's really pissing me off and ruining my mood about EVERYTHING. I need to get over it.

2. Having a house full of guests is a sure fire way to wrap up little projects!

[thewop]

1. We spent almost all day outside yesterday. It was lovely. I even got to HD to pick out some paint samples for my shutters. I decided on a color in only 5 min (I was trying to match the original color- they're really faded).

2. I cleaned out my closet and donated half of it. It felt awesome. I had SO much old stuff I was hanging on to for absolutely no reason. I can now put the newer stuff in there I've been waiting to wear for the summer.

[davescatch]

I followed your recommendation, dairy, on the Target jeans (see my post) - love them!

And I spend a ridiculous amount of time outside.....just walking my dog - it felt so good to do that. Walking is now a luxury I don't take for granted.
