Hump Day!

LizzyTish88

Morning! Why is the board so dead this week???

Last night we had to cancel cheer because the radar showed rain, and then it never rained. I was so bummed. Can't wait til tonight though! The team is great, and their motions really blew me away the first night! Their tumbling and jumps need work so we can start there! Also my boy, J, is a friggen riot! He is going to teach the girls a thing or two about facials and sass. 

Since there was no practice last night, I read through Part One of Cursed Child. I am loving it so far. We had dinner and watched AGT and called it an early night. Tonight will be cheer and AGT. 

WWYD: Dinner. We don't have anything really at home so I have to stop out on my way home to pick something up. We won't be eating until about 8 and I want something quick and easy. Suggestions??

@LizzyTish88 You could do Chicken Spaghetti...it's not all that healthy but it's really quick and easy to make.

I've been feeling like death since Sunday. I caught some sort of stomach bug over the weekend so most of the day Monday and yesterday I've been either sleeping or glued to the bathroom. I'm finally feeling a little back to normal today but I've been having a hard time eating anything. Yesterday I tried to eat some rice or something bland and it still made my stomach hurt.

Callie also has a bit of a cold so I feel awful that she feels bad. She is in good spirits but isn't that interested in eating right now. We have the humidifier and saline drops going during the day so hopefully that starts to help break things up.

Tonight my parents are having guests over that they knew from when my Dad was in the Army. I haven't seen them since I was pretty young so I don't remember them too well. DH is working so we will just hang out with them for the evening.

Also...something kind of exciting...I bought a really cute outfit for Callie's bday. I can't wait for it to be here!!!

@LizzyTish88 Sorry cheer was cancelled! It totally did look like it was going to rain last night. Do you have a Sweetgreen near you? It's a great salad place. I know that sounds boring but seriously, their salads are the best and you can make your own to add stuff in that is really filling.

@southernpeach89 Sorry that you aren't feeling well! I hope it goes away soon. That outfit is SO adorable! Can't wait to see pics of Callie in it.

EDIT: I forgot to update about myself! Nothing too crazy going on. Been getting up at 5am to run this week since I'm more motivated when it's cooler. H and I are doing Blue Apron this week so it's been fun trying new meals. His brother is in town tonight so we'll go out to dinner with him and he gets the honor of sleeping on our couch. 

Today is also my manager's baby shower! Two of my coworkers and I are throwing a joint shower for her and another woman in my dept. who is also pregnant. We have tons of tasty food and will play a couple of games - mostly just guess the due date/stats and name suggestions, nothing too crazy. I'm looking forward to it and I hope she enjoys it!

@LizzyTish88  our default is always pasta. Quick, easy and if you want to add stuff, it's not a huge deal.

@southernpeach89  cute! Can't believe she'll be 1 soon!!

@PamBeesly524 Sounds like a fun work day


Not much new. Weekend was pretty low-key.
Friday was the dinner we planned. Red Lobster because it's crab-fest and we're big seafood fans lol

Anniversary was good though
Cupcake lounge did our top tier/cupcakes for the wedding, so we went there for snacks. Matt ended up being hungry so we also stopped at a pub.
We saw the Sound and Light show on Parliament Hill - basically talks about the history of Canada. It's good

Yesterday we ended up stopping at the house because Matt's parents wanted to check out the area and advised us that there was a lot of papers on the stoop.
We go and it was literally ALL flyers and local papers. Guhhh .... so we put it all in the car and made sure we weren't grabbing things we shouldn't.
Then we take a walk around back. We knew the weeds would be bad because when we were there in May, they were high. ONE WEED IS 8 FEET TALL!! Likely we're going to have to take up the stones we have to get it out.

Luckily Matt is into and has knives, because a weed whacker will NOT cut through it. Well .... other than painting, seems our first project will be the backyard!

I am on mobile so I'm not gonna try and respond, but holy cow. Already an exciting day!

I got up extra early for my run, and when we got to our park I noticed a fire going in a barbecue. Well, after my mind cleared I realized this park didn't have barbecues, and someone had actually just lit something on fire on top of a picnic table and the table was on fire. This was before 5 am so no one was around. I put out as much as I could with dirt, then flashed down a car and asked them to call the fire department because I don't bring my phone with me.

Anyway, I'm now waiting to take a company plane to the southern Oregon coast, and I've heard the company planes are scary. So I'll miss you guys if I don't make it!

MissKittyDanger

@AlPacina  you should bring your phone for safety concerns BE SAFE!!

Hump day has started off horribly for me.  I want a do over. 

My car stalled on me at a red light this morning getting to work.  I went to go on the green, it sputtered and stalled.  Pulled over.  Turned it off.  Back on again, and it was fine.

Then, during my cross fit class this morning, we had to do something called "medicine ball slams"  There's a medicine ball which is filled with sand, heavy and it kinda drops to the floor, you pick it up, slam as hard as you can, it drops. you pick it up ..etc. etc.  Then there's a weighted ball - its a bouncy ball that's just a bit heavy and used for 'tossing' to people.

The instructor said there's a bunch of medicine balls in the corner over there, and turned his back.  There were both medicine balls and weighted ones. I picked up the weighted ball instead and SLAMMED it to the floor really hard, it bounced back up - hit me in my chin, busted my lip and I think something happened happened to my jaw and ear canal internally since it hurts to eat. 

So great diet - "break" your jaw - it's not broken but hurts!
edit: words - I also just noticed this was the NEY board.  I usually lurk and never post so Hi

My copy of Cursed Child showed up! I have something to do tonight when the weather sucks!

Otherwise this evening I'll be working on my class notes. Nothing much exciting has been happening up here, to be honest.

@LizzyTish88 You don't have a Costco membership do you? Sometimes they are my go-to for a quick and easy pre-made but fresh meal.

@AlPacina Holy shit! I'm so glad you spotted that fire before anything worse happened! Also, I really hope you don't die on your company plane.

@southernpeach89 I'm glad we're both feeling better today. Wtf tummies! I hope Callie starts to feel better soon too!

@MissKittyDanger Should you really be picking stuff up from the house? You don't own it yet...regardless of how much stuff is collecting on the front door. I would inform the realtor who is selling the place so the owner can take care of anything of concern.

I've been sick too. My stomach actually started feeling a bit nauseated over the weekend but I thought it was due to a lingering hangover even though I had only had a glass and a half of wine. Then all hell broke loose Monday night. H got sick at work before I took him home and ended up with a fever and then after I went to bed that night I got up several times to empty my poor sad stomach and felt terrible all day on Tuesday. Luckily I feel back to normal today...no stomach cramps after eating and no headaches. Monday evening before I got sick though I got to take my cousin bowling. She loved seeing an American bowling alley, which apparently aren't all that different from the ones in Germany...except ours has a huge arcade, a bar, a restaurant, and other stuff. We both had a great time! We both suck at bowling but I think we each got at least one strike for each of the three games we played so I count that as a success!


Yesterday after work I took her back to my parents house and we stopped at Wal Mart and Costco on the way since she had never been inside either store. She was completely overwhelmed (who wouldn't be???)!

Today I am leaving work early so I can go to my parents house and make deviled eggs as an app for dinner tonight! NOMS!

LOL! Hi there! Wake up!

I hope you didn't actually break your jaw at Crossfit though. Sounds like an extra shitty morning! I hope your day turns around for you.

nah, but I did "something" to it.  FI told me to get it checked out.  I never get things checked out on the first day.  I'll give it a few days and see what's up.

@southernpeach89 That pasta looks awesome! Thank you!! Hope you feel better soon. That outfit is adorable!

@PamBeesly524 Have fun with your BIL!!

@AlPacina Come back to us safely! So weird about the fire, but glad you were able to help!

@CharmedPam Well hello there!

@TwoDimes Pizza sounds good too! I'll either do that or pasta!

@KeptInStitches Can't wait to hear what you think about Cursed Child! 

@labro Sucky that you didn't feel well either! Bowling is so fun! 

[Deleted User]

@CharmedPam Ugh that sucks! Hopefully it's just a bad bruise and will heal up in the next couple of days. I've knocked my jaw pretty hard before doing power snatches and it totally sucks not being able to move it comfortably after that.

@labro  since it's just flyers/papers, our realtor said it's fine once. She's going to talk to other realtor to find out about going forward. The former owner doesn't live in the city and is in a home, so we've don't mind doing it.

I get you were just trying to be nice about something but it's not your property and you were technically trespassing. I just wouldn't want something to happen where it could affect your closing in September. KWIM?

MissKittyDanger

@labro  I completely get it, which is also why I have our realtor asking the other people for future knowledge. I also technically was on common area {according to the condo corp} It's definitely not going to be a constant thing, and for sure I wouldn't want it to affect anything either!

Oh man. Pretty sure that was gonna be "flagged", but I'll just let you picture a flashing incident instead. Not the kind of thing that poor woman thought she'd see in the dark this morning! Haha!

Just saying hello since I am home from work until the end of next week at least.  I've been watching TV and doing lots of reading, I think today I will start the Cursed Child.  I hate feeling so helpless and having H do everything. I can get up to shower, bathroom and bed.  I will do whatever it takes.  

I think I may make tomorrow a netflix day though and catch up on TV.  

LizzyTish88

@Peaseblossom55 Sending all my love and thoughts to you.

labro

@Peaseblossom55 Big hugs and lots of love to you! Come play with us a little more!

@Peaseblossom55 All the love and hugs to you! Come say Hi more if you can!

Peaseblossom55

I will be around most of the day on my couch online, so I can play all day.  Right now I'm eating lunch and watching Property Brothers. Life is so exciting.  

labro

@Peaseblossom55 I catch that show sometimes at work when someone has changed the channel on the break room TV. It's so addicting!!!

I love Property Brothers too, I can get sucked into those marathons for hours.

Thanks.  I get suckered into so many of those marathons too.

@lizzytish88 those nights I'll get a rotisserie chicken and some sort of salad from the grocery store 

@alpacina safe flight!

@charmedpam hello and stick around! Also hope your jaw starts feeling better.

@peaseblossom55 lots of hugs and kisses your way! Don't think of it as hopeless, think of it as getting pampered!

I'm in the car on my way into the city. Im so freaking excited! I already warned my bf that if Justin timberlake, Jennifer Lawrence, or Mila Kunis are guests I may lose my shit.
