Good morning!

It is quarter to 6 and I can't sleep. R got up with E because I have to work this morning and now I can't fall back asleep. Looks like it will be a double shot kinda day.

Morning!

SC - go get some coffee!

Seriously, these boards are SO much less headache! I'm in love.

Anyway, it's Wednesday, which means it's kinda my Friday - I get tomorrow off. Except I have to go to the dentist and then go in to work to prove my skills... all with M in tow. Whee!

Friday we're supposed to go have a "casual" dinner with the ILs at BIL's place, but neither DH or I want to because of FIL's behavior with M. We're meeting up with them in Seattle on Saturday so BIL can propose to his gf. Should be... interesting.

Have a great day everyone!

I agree these boards are so much nicer. Much easier to navigate and post from my phone.

I will get coffee when I get to work since I don't have a coffee maker at home.

I guess it's getting to that time of year where the sun gets up so early we can't sleep. W and I tossed and turned until about 5:45. Well, it makes up for sleeping through the winter.

Today is House Hunting 4. I'm so ready for this to be over. W is trying to get me to just take it easier on the whole home buying process; it's working, but only a little. Thankfully a totally awesome house in the right neighborhood at the right price just came on the market yesterday, so if there is any justice in the world we will have a shot at making an offer on it before it turns into a crazy bidding war.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! I like these boards a lot too, but for some reason my log in won't work on my work computer. Im confused, but at least this site works on my phone!

Niq, I've noticed the same issue with trying to sleep in lately. Guess it's the good weather, cuz I've been wide awake by 4 the last few mornings. Oh well, makes it easier to get out of bed. Hope everyone has a fantastic sunny Wednesday!

Good morning!!! I totally agree with the light/sun/morning thing!!! BJL woke up this morning to eat at 4:15, and it was already starting to get light out, I had to really focus to get back to sleep!

Today is wednesday, so it *should* be mommy-daughter today, but my mom has training this week and I forgot to check with her yesterday if she'd be working today- I'll call her in a bit.

Have a great day everyone, on these awesome boards!!!!!!

I've been awake since about 4. Ugh...I will definitely be needing some caffeine later on.

Nothing planned for today.

Happy Hump Day! I am really enjoying learning how to use this new forum, it is so much more user friendly than TN. I tried to express my joy to my H last night, but he just didn't understand!

As far as the sun coming out earlier, it makes having to wake up at 5am SO MUCH EASIER. But the long days makes me feel like a granny when I have to go to bed early.

i don't have a coffee maker at home either....i feel bad when we have late night parties (you know...like, all the time )we don't have coffee to convince our friends to stay...we have instant coffee though

The extended daylight hours are a pain around our household, too, but more so when I'm trying to get Tman in bed at night. It's so hard for him when it's daylight. He goes to bed between 7-8, and his bedroom faces east. We try to play outside or something if we don't have other evening plans to wipe him out really good.

My day is looking okay. We seem to be running really low on food, but I grocery shop on Thursday, so I guess I'm going to have to make it work for another day. I have some chores to do, and then get Tman who has half days on Wednesdays.

He only has 3.5 weeks of school until the summer. I'm so excited!

When I got my first apartment, this was the first thing I bought for it. It was a crappy like $10 Walmart one, but still.

yeah, i told h we should buy one, and just keep it in the garage for when people stay late (really, it doesn't happen that often, lol)...but he said then we would also need to keep coffee on hand, and filters, and cream/milk etc etc....

I want a keurig since I'm the only one that drinks coffee. We just haven't had the extra money to splurge on one.

Plus coffee is a rather recent addiction of mine. Up until about 8 months ago I couldn't stand to e around it so it didn't make sense to have a coffee pot.

Hello! Just made it over here. Posting from my phone. Fingers crossed the new board isn't blocked at work. I've been pretty good about getting over here on my phone though.

yesterday was my second time at crossfit. I'm so hooked, but soooo sore.

Anyone get a discount at dell? H and I need a new laptop.

Happy midmorning everyone! I'm in a GOOD mood today! Yesterday, I have 5 blue-screens of death (yes! people still get those! In Windows XP!) before 2pm. The last one was in the middle of REBOOTING from the 4th one. I threw a fit, I told IT to FIX MY DAMN MACHINE and that I was going home and it better work in the morning. And today? Ta-dah! I had to do a little set-up, but I am FINALLY 99% functional on the new computer I was promised 5 months ago! That's helping my mood enormously.

I have PT tonight and not much else going on. I'm trying awfully hard to not eat a bunch of extra sweets/heavy calorie things and am so far doing ok (not phenomenal but ok). Ugh, I SO need to lose weight and while WW worked for me last time, my friend who is crazy-similar to me said she tried it and HATES their new program so I don't think I'd like it. Plus, I'm trying to be healthier, which means not using all the prepackaged shortcuts I used last time.

Niq - fingers crossed on the house tonight!! Remember, we had been looking for over a YEAR, had one deal fall through (blessedly, the house would have been a money pit). Our house that we bought went on the market on a Friday, we saw it on Saturday morning, and got our offer in before the open house on Sunday. Luckily for us, it was an estate sale and they didn't want the hassle of a bidding war (we bid right at offer, no more no less). Good luck to you!

Good morning!

It is officially one week until my last day at work! I have so much to do, but I'm trying not to stress about it. And instead, I'm wasting time on GBCN. Way to go me!

Tonight is drinks with the bestie. I suppose we'll probably eat dinner too. And attempt to pack some more. Ay yi yi!

Have a great day everyone!!

What about a French press? We have a full size one for when we both want coffee or we have guests, but also an individual-sized on if W wants to make some for herself. It's way cheaper than the K-cup. (and it makes better coffee).
