We are closed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. H is off starting tomorrow. I never made it to see Hunger Games, so we are going on Wednesday. My cousin is flying in from university at 4:30 Wed, so we will probably have a fun night of drinking and preparing food to bring with us to my family deal on Thursday. I'm thinking of mixing up a pitcher of cranberry margaritas to take with us to Thanksgiving. They sound delicious.
Dude. MH took the grocery shopping list for Tgiving and did it all himself. Cue angel chorus. I hate grocery shopping so much, I hate grocery shopping for a holiday even more, and I hate grocery shopping for a holiday after work a few days before said holiday most of all. He wins at life today.

TrickyBob - ML seriously should be Mommy Life these days. Sooo much posting about kids and babies and baby outfits.
When it's not that, it's Evee being Evee.
Just, eh, not worth it.
That's why I've mostly stopped even reading stuff there. It's a little overwhelming. I started reading there when my local board became all baby talk, so now I'm like.. well crap. lol. Luckily work is busier now and I'm not consciously looking for distractions.

I clean. I cannot help you on the baby front but I can clean! lol.
And yeah, I think it's just one of those periods on ML where a bunch of people are pregnant and/or have recently had babies but DAMN if it's just not a lot of baby talk.

Happy Monday!
DH took the wrong car to work today...and it had my work computer in it. That was awesome. I work 30 miles north of our house. He works 30 miles south of our house. So Rachael got to drive 30 miles south and then 60 miles north before 9 am today. At least my boss is awesome and he just laughed. The weather was shitty out and the roads were icy (3 rollovers on my way down and back).
Anyway...
I'm only working today and tomorrow. Then we head down to Chicago for the long weekend. I can't wait until Friday to head to the annual Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza downtown. My mom and I are heading down there after the crazy rush of BF shoppers.
On Saturday we might go to the Shedd Aquarium since my stepmom had two free tickets she wasn't going to use.
KaraOrNot - I think I'm going to go get more cupcakes tomorrow to bring with me, LOL. This won't be good.
My H and I are both off Thursday and Friday. We aren't traveling, so our only major plans are going to the IL's on Thursday afternoon for dinner. We'll watch football on Friday and cleaning our house, then putting up Christmas decorations on Saturday.
Nothing exciting, but it should be a nice, relaxing looooong weekend!
Random: my local mix station is playing a Christmas inspired song but it is new and not tradiotional at all. I didnt catch the artist or title. The melody is to the tune of "Gloria In Excelcius Deo." I'm sure I butchered that spelling.

You have a beautiful home pooh8402! Happy b-day to your H!
I made crockpot veggie chili for dinner and am now having some hot chocolate with cinnamon. I almost put in cumin instead, blech. What's everyone else up to tonight?
I am working all (three) days. I hope to get off early like previous years. Today was a busy day for me-had b/w in the morning; then baseline u/s (no cysts!!) and then picked up my meds. First of all, I really wish pharmacies were a little more nicer when it comes to picking up your meds or being a little more timely. If I said I was going to be there at 10:30, I will be there at 10:30. I am not
After work, headed to an acu appointment and then watching the Niners beat the Redskins!!
We are hosting TG with MY family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. I pulled the IVF card with DH and told him I do not want to be hosting his family (again). I don't care if it is his mom's bday on TG. NMP. MY family, MY turn.

I just got an email Express 50% starts tomorrow!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE last year it started on Wednesday. Tomorrow better go fast at work because I'm hitting the mall.Hard. I have a huge list of stuff I want to buy. I also need to hit NY & Co but their 50% off isn't until Wednesday. Then I won't have to step foot in the mall on black Friday.

I got some sweaters from Express this fall that I LOVE. I wonder if I could squeeze in a quick visit to see if they have any left.

DH has Wednesday through Friday off; I only have Thursday and Friday, but I'm taking Wednesday as a vacation day. We're flying to see my mom; we leave Wednesday morning.
I'm so done with work; I'm really excited to have five days off, and I'm not bringing my work computer or any papers to read.
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
TrickyBob - ML seriously should be Mommy Life these days. Sooo much posting about kids and babies and baby outfits.
When it's not that, it's Evee being Evee.
Just, eh, not worth it.
so who exactly is Evee? Is it another poster with a different name? I'm so confused. (as usual)
Oh god she has been around forever under so many names. Her life is a train wreck and she is ML's most favorite hot mess. She has GBCNd more times than I can count.
She has a kid with special needs, makes terrible life and relationship decisions and is over all just sad to me.
She recently became a burlesque dancer and then posted pics of her in her "costume" (PASTIES!) with a video of her routine.
I cannot decide if we are laughing with we or at her and avoid her almost always bc she just makes me sad.
Omg, you guys! Now I'm debating whether or not to go check out ML. Sounds very interesting!
I'm off Thursday and Friday, well we're off every Friday since we're on a 4/10 schedule so I technically just get Thu as a paid holiday. H is off the same days but his main final project is due in about an hour so I imagine he won't be staying at school until 3 am anymore! Tomorrow is our anniversary so I need to try to get to the office early so I can leave early. Still haven't decided if we're going out or making a nice dinner at home. I'm leaning towards going out because I just remembered that the store will probably be a zoo.
I went Thanksgiving food shopping yesterday morning and got way too much food. It's just me and H so I think we'll be eating leftovers for lunch and dinner for a week straight.
