Unfortunately, there will be no drinking for me today although happy hour sounds GREAT right now.
I'm in a fantastic mood because:

Re: Thirsty Thursday
Other than that.....i think that's my only in stone plan.
That's sad lol
Still here and still fabulous!
I am also off on Monday for MLK Jr. Day (President's Day is in February, and I do not get that day off!). I am here until 11:30 tomorrow, so it's almost like having a 4 day weekend, right??
I have a dentist appointment today. I have a love/hate relationship with the dentist. I love having freshly cleaned teeth, but I have sensitive teeth and some exposed roots so it's painful.
I sent in a bag of clothes to thredUP and earned $35, so I just ordered some stuff. I hope it all fits!!
H and I had a long discussion this week and decided to discontinue the Whole30 for now, so last night we went out to eat. neither one of us enjoyed our food... way too salty and just not satisfying. H was especially disappointed (he had big dreams for his burger and fries). I still haven't had any dessert or sugar, so go me!! I am going to try the Flat White at Starbucks this weekend, though...
what's wrong with your pup, @cu97tiger?
A massage sounds really good..
@IrishDreamer it's still Thursady you never know what might come up!
@cu97tiger sending some get well soon vibes

We have to go change two shirts friends got Fi for his name day.
One doesn't fit,but it's a gift from our man of honor,so I hope we find a size.
The other one hopefully will give me a check from our to-buy list,a green one.
Either than that,some work for me tomorrow and then nothing big for the weekend.
We have to check some restaurants,and possibly having lunch with his parents on Sunday.
Almost every day of the year is dedicated to a saint/feast,so if you're christened
with a saint's name you have a name day.There are some exceptions like if your
name is Christos or Chris you celebrate on Christmas day. etc.
Fi's name is John,and on 07.01 it's celebration of John the Baptist.
Traditionally you celebrate your name day more than your actual birthday.
But you do pretty much the same things minus the cake and candles of course.
It was the first year living together that we were able to invite people home,not working and free.I'm still dealing with people not showing and telling us they would..a ton of wasted food,and gifts I have to change/organize.But it was fun!
match as close as possible things by color?
Everyone thinks I'm loony for doing it.
@CocoBellaF - I'm sorry your meal wasn't as good as you guys had hoped! When you've been eating super healthy for a while, I think your body gets so used to it that unhealthy food stops tasting so delicious!
For anyone interested in ring porn, here is the band I ordered. I knew I wanted some color, and I definitely wanted a thin band since the band on my e-ring isn't very thin. I've been looking at this ring online and had it bookmarked as my top choice for months now. I wanted to go try on something similar to this in a store to make sure I liked how it looked, but then it went on sale for 15% off yesterday, so we just took the plunge and ordered it. They have a 30 day retrn policy, so if I hate how it looks on my hand, it'll just be sent back. I'm so excited to take it for a test-run as soon as it comes in though!!!!

made like this.And yay for the deal!
@cu97tiger - Sorry to hear your pup is sick!
@Peasseblossom55 - Lemoncello...yummmm. Have one for me.
@Southerpeach89 - Burger...double yummm. I haven't had a burger in like a year. That sounds so good right now.
@Hummingbird125 - Congrats on ordering the band!
@CocoBellaF - I hear you on the dentist. I have really sensitive teeth so I don't really like the dentist. Good luck!

OUR GRANITE COMES TODAY!!! I'm so excited, can you tell? I think our hood above the stove is also being vented today (electrician has to put a hole in our roof so here is hoping it goes well). I just want to be able to cook this weekend and think I will be able to if we get the stove hooked up on Saturday (waiting for a part). This weekend we will be working on the kitchen and the basement bathroom.
Saturday night H and I might have a long overdue date night at a tapas place. Sunday I'm cooking, cooking, cooking (hopefully). Monday I'm off but have to take some calls in the morning for London clients who aren't off (booo).
Right now I am thirsty for my tea...I would like to mainline it if possible.
@cu97tiger - I'm sorry Fritz is still sick! Any idea what's wrong?
@southernpeach89 - I'm really torn about changing my phone plan. I've had the same plan for years and I have a TON of data (since I signed up before they realized they should charge an arm and a leg for data), but FI said he might be able to get me onto their family's company plan after we're married...I would love for someone else to pay for my phone, but I feel like I'd be getting a crappier plan.
@Hummingbird125 - Love that wedding band. FI and I need to order rings...which means he needs to decide what he wants!
Feeling very blah today. I went to bed earlier last night but was waking up every couple of hours and I'm not sure why. It was probably the cat annoying me or my upstairs neighbour making noise. I cannot wait to get out of my apartment!! Anyways, I'm tired today, and am going to lose most of my day to meetings, so I don't see a lot of productivity.
Tonight FI and I have to talk about mortgage numbers, what kind of car we want to trade in for, and some wedding stuff. All very grown up. And expensive.
No major weekend plans. We haven't been to the movies for ages so maybe a movie, and I'm probably spending Saturday afternoon cooking with FMIL and FSIL. FSIL is expecting a baby next month so we're planning on doing a bunch of cooking that she can freeze and pull out later on. I think I'm getting some of the freezer meals too, so yay! I could use a bit of a re-stock.

@swazzle Yay so excited for you today!
@hummingbird125 I love that wedding band, so pretty!
@minskat30 yay for granite countertops today!!! I can't wait for pics when everything is done.
@Swazzle I am so freaking excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope everything goes well today with closing and with your move tomorrow! Please take before and after photos!
@everyone who has a three day weekend - you suck and I'm super jealous.
@GoldenPenguin I hope you get the table! You'll have to share some photos if you do!
@Hummingbird125 I love your wedding band!
@minskat30 Another request for photos! I bet your new granite countertops are going to be beautiful!
No plans here. I have my annual review this afternoon with my boss, so fingers crossed for a bonus! If I get one, H and I may go out for dinner tonight to celebrate even though we have tons of leftover ratatouille from last night's dinner. God we are so boring!
No weekend plans either. The septic guy said he should be able to come tomorrow to replace our system. I need to be there for it, but I can't use ANY water while the system is in transition...ugh.
Still here and still fabulous!
@futuremrshistorian sounds exciting!Are you just changing Church or something else?
@goldenpenguin Good luck!
@speakeasy14 In this house,there is ALWAYS cake haha
Usually not ours though,but I did make two.One for the brunch I hosted,
and the other one was in honor of a close friend birthday the day before,so
there was cake!Chestnut and praline chocolate flavors
And I vote yes for the sign.When our best man comes here,I always try
to make it memorable,once I didn't have paper so I found an AngryBirds balloon and wrote on it.
