Oof. Ok, what do we have for fun today?
 
Fun: Dancing With The Stars finals tonight. (after yoga)
Not Fun: Having to work today on only about 6 hours of sleep. I might be a wee bit cranky.
Fun: (hopefully) contacting one of the librarians at College of Charleston to set up an essay interview. 
Not Fun: Having to go get my oil changed before I head into work this morning. 
 
I could probably keep going, but this list is making me tired....

eccabex · Nov 22, 2010

Good morning!
 
Fun: I'm off all week!!!!! The kids and I are heading up to Connecticut tomorrow. I haven't been in a long time and I'm super excited to see my family!
Not fun: Today and tomorrow are furlough days, so I'm not getting paid for them.
Not fun: Scrubbing my house. DH can't come up with us because of his work schedule. Honestly, after the past few years, I'm thrilled he's at an office he loves! Anywho, since he's not coming, my in-laws are coming down to enjoy Turkey with him and SIL's famly. So, I need a clean, CLEAN house!

1) WOOHOO! 

2) I'm right there with you. Dh is off today, so was trying to "sleep in", which usually translates to squirming around and keeping me awake until he gets up. <img alt="huh.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/huh.gif">

Uck. I need to do that too. It's just been waaaay too long.

katholeenie · Nov 22, 2010

OH! And I posted pics of what pots are left on my <a href="http://sherwoodinnpottery.blogspot.com" target="_blank">blog</a>. Whatever is left (except for earrings, I won't take those) Wednesday morning is being packed up (around 10) and taken to the gallery.
 
On my way back from the gallery I'm going to stop by my friend Maggie's to dump off a bunch of seconds for her daughter, who likes to give them as gifts. (Her daughter has hydrosifilis (sp?). I found out this weekend she tries to get there first & buy everything I donate to the community studio's September fund raiser. I like Amy, & don't want to store this stuff for another year, so I'm giving it to her.) 
 
And then I get to start fresh. Yeehaw!

We are hosting my family on Thursday too. Lots of cleaning this weekend. My family is pretty small (My dad, brother, sister and her boyfriend, and my niece), so it is not too bad. We are hosting Christmas for my wife's family this year and that has me completely stressed out - 43 people.
 
Tired this morning. Stayed up late watching the Giants. That was a waste.

Stupid Freakin' Eagles. We didn't stay up to watch past halftime. Checked Sportscenter first thing this morning, and was REALLY glad we didn't.
 
Mom arrives tomorrow night, and DD arrives early Th. morning. We are hosting TG here, so there will be much cleaning, shopping and cooking in the next few days. AAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!! 
 
Hope you all are well!

Add me to those that need to clean although I have just 700 sq feet to spruce up but always LOTS of damn cat hair. <img alt="tard.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/tard.gif"> ...and the stupid betterfortheenvironment cat litter.
 
I'm gonna need a lot more coffee to get me through today but am beyond happy for the short week!

Dude.
 
I've been brushing the boys regularly, but we have tumbleweeds. Even after I sweep, they blow out from hiding places. <img alt="tongue6.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/tongue6.gif">
 
 
 
I'm having acorn squash for breakfast. It's actually pretty good. I've not eaten it in a couple years, because the ones from the market just don't have much taste. But this is one grown by one of Dh's employees who's husband is a farmer. 
 
Why do I always have so many errands to run?

Morning all
 
It's time for the Turkey Drool Story

Hi all - this smiley definitely applies today <img alt="coffee.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/coffee.gif" style="width:29px;height:29px;">
 
Not fun: running around today to get preparations for my fun
Fun: Getting to fly out after work tomorrow to head for Columbus
 
The Mannings giveth and they taketh away - Peyton throws a pick at the end to knock my opponent's FF score down by 2 points, then Eli throws a pick at the end of his game to those two points back (he had the Philly Defense.) He's a mere 0.2 pts ahead of me going into today. He's got Moreno going, and I've got Floyd, so all I can hope for is it's a big old passing fest for these traditional AFC West rivals....

wipaddler · Nov 22, 2010

at exactly what time can I start b!tch slapping people. 
 
I lost 56% of my patience very early this morning and now i'm about 98% out of them.

Auntie Moe · Nov 22, 2010

morning peeps.
 
We're having a department, potluck, thanksgiving dinner today at work. I was late this morning, as the mashed potatoes I was making just took forever. However, they are delish.
 
Busy weekend. Went to see a show on Sat night, Jekyll & Hyde, the musical. Gorgeous production...of a show I never need to see again. I swear, it was the Seinfeld of musicals...nothing ever happened. Took over an hour before we ever saw Jekyll's lab! And it was dramaaaaaaaaaaatic. Oof. (Side note: apparently David Hasselhoff played Jekyll in the Broadway production c. 2000.)
 
Yesterday my parents were going to have a little birthday party for my niece but my mom's worn out and my dad's sick. So my sis suggested we do something in Boston with the kids instead...ended up taking them to the Arboretum for the dogs, then to lunch and the toy store. My niece's b-day is today...she chose to go to the Arb, but at some point during the long walk around, she turned to my sister and said:
 
"Momma, there's nuffin here. Just people. And plants. And dogs. No toys. Just nuffin." 
<img alt="laughing4.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/laughing4.gif">
 
 
Hope you guys have a good day.

 Dude...I freakin' hate cat litter. Seems no matter what I do, it's all over my apartment. I swear, it's one of the reasons I want a house...so the stupid cat box can be in the cellar and not my bathroom.

If it's possible for cat litter to push one over the edge, this shit is real, real close to doing so.

Man, this blows:
 
<h1><a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/11/two_dead_after_3.html" target="_blank">Three dead after weekend shooting inside Jamaica Plain restaurant</a></h1>
 
I get pizza here all the time. It's right across the street from JP Licks even. Happened at 7:30 last night.
 
ETA: third person died.

Stab wounds. WTF?????

kjboston · Nov 22, 2010

hi all...been a bit MIA lately because honestly, I just don't have much to say. Dealing with a newborn is already like Groundhog Day, but dealing with a sick one is even more so. Grayson saw the cardiologist again on Friday and the conversation regarding surgery was much more of a when than if one. He needs to be at least 2 more lbs prior to surgery (so he'll have a 98 or 99% chance of surviving surgery vs 94% at his current weight) so I'm having to get more calories in him...he's just burning a ton.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing great...I'll pop in more even if I feel like a downer!
