Friday!

BinxRose

Good morning ladies! I've been awake since 5;00 because Kitteh Binx decided it was time to wake up, so he kneeded my back til I was awake and pet him. Then he yelled at me to get him fresh water and food (no joke, he actually has this angry meow that I know means "give me my rations!").

So now I'm browsing Pinterest while eating frozen waffles with real maple syrup, and drinking Oregon Chai Tea (which I bought last night at Walmart with a $1 off coupon...thank you amh for the inspiration to coupon)! How is everyone else doing this morning? What are your plans for the weekend?

Also, FTL if you make it on here, I saw this clock on Pinterest and thought of you:

amh04

Thats a total FTL clock!

My morning, is just pretty ordinary. I'm seriously pretty boring. I've got work until 4 hopefully.. maybe later. and then it's wedding weekend for me. I seriously freaked last night realizeing that we have 3 months (tomorrow) until the wedding. So I made a super long list and I will get it done!!

I really wish I could get up earlier - for some reason, I seriously can't wake up before 730, and lately my alarm snoozes till 830. Ughh.. I feel so lazy.

That is an awesome clock! Morning everyone! My dad was up early this morning and made omelets for breakfast, which makes this one of those days I'm so glad I live at home! Now I'm sitting in my car outside the hospital, trying to peptalk myself into getting out into the cold to go into clinic. Hopefully they'll take pity on my poor student self and let me go early this afternoon. And this weekend is Christmas decorating time! Yay!

Hi ladies!! I just woke up so nothing is going on with me yet. I'll go have some breakfast here soon though. 

That clock is so awesome btw!

I'm really cranky this morning. Hoping I can keep it to myself because I have a day filled with other people.

LetsHikeToday

Morning everyone!

This is the first weekend in FOREVER that I don't have to do anything. I only have to take something back at the outlets but other than that, it's me H and the pups!

melbelle24

I'm sorry you're cranky Shan! I hope your day goes smoothly and you getting feeling better!!!

I am so tired. I wish my coffee would go ahead and start working... It really is starting to scare me how it used to only take half a cup and I was fine, now I need 2 cups to feel alive. I don't want to become dependant on coffee or be the type of person that NEEDS coffee..I don't even like the taste of the coffee they brew here.


ETA - I just read back through my post and realized a person that "NEEDS" coffee is probably the same person that is 'dependant on coffee'... Err....Don't touch my coffee...

Good morning lovely ladies  

Yes. 

That clock freakin' rocks. 

I want it! I actually found it on thinkgeek.com and it was sold out *sigh* 

Yay hike for not having anything to do this weekend! Are you going to relax and veg out or go out and be crazy?

Good morning all!  I am running the Reindeer Run tomorrow morning with a couple of ladies and a 7 year old boy that said it is his goal to beat me in the race.  Funny...he just might.  HAA!  Then it is on to watch the SEC Championship Game (Go Dawgs Sic Em WOOF WOOF WOOF) and the ACC Championship again (Hokie Hokie High) I just hate Clem-suck so I am cheering for VA Tech.

My kitten woke me up too Binx. Now she decided to cuddle with me when I have to get up. Also she keeps trying to bat the cursor on my screen haha

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!!!!

I've already had 1 cup of coffee and I spiked my protein shake with coffee (It's delicious!! and totally Curves approved).  Curled my hair, painted my nails sparkly hot pink to match my float. What?! Yes!! The Christmas parade is tonight so my float masterpiece will be unveiled tonight!!! hahaha.. It's all hot pink and purples, I'll AW later tonight if you'd like.  GG and I have plans to KUI.  Now I have a math class, some hours of work, so speed decorating and then freezing my ass off during the parade.  That's all that's separating me from a bottle of Cupcake Red Velvet.  It's going to be such a long day..

Shan- Cheer up Buttercup!! We all love you!!

calindi

Sami, I'd love to see your float!  Lots of pics, please!!!!

Shan, sorry you're in a bad mood!  I hate those days, and want to go right back to bed and start over the next day.  Especially on Fridays!!!

The word "Friday" has been forever ruined for me by Rebecca Black.  And those stupid Kohl's commercials for Black Friday nearly made me smash my television.

I'm not much of a coffee drinker.  I love the taste, but caffeine and me aren't friends.  I get shaky and super anxious and have to go to the bathroom a lot and get headaches and stomach aches.  I might be allergic?  When I drink coffee, I tend to drink decaf, and that makes it easier.  I can enjoy the flavor without the side effects.

Today I'm finishing up my project, interviewing a potential employee (that's right folks, I'm now management!), and celebrating the mid-way point for FI's finals (he had one yesterday, one today, and two next week).  This weekend, I'm going to see my dress tomorrow and on Sunday I'm baking a crapton of cookies to send up to family and associates as Christmas gifts.

Good morning!  I'm headed over to a friend's house this morning to watch their baby to go to the frocking ceremony.  I'm so excited to spend time with my little boyfriend!

We don't have much planned for the weekend.  H has a long day today, but we'll have a lazy night.  Tomorrow we are going to a lunch with my bosses and other workers at an oyster house, so we're pretty excited for that.  Then I'm sure we will have lots and lots of last minute things to do for H because D-day is coming upon us soon.

Last night we went to the NEX because they had a scratch-off coupon out, and we needed to get our Christmas gifts for eachother.  H wanted and needed a new laptop, and I really wanted a new vacuum.  H fought me on it because he didn't want to buy his wife a vacuum for Christmas, but I insisted I really didn't want anything else.  I'm super pumped that I got an amazing deal on the Dyson I wanted!  They had one without a box because a lady bought it on Black Friday and returned it on Sunday, saying the canister was too small.  So she used it once, and they marked it down 25% off.  Hell yeah I'll take a Dyson marked used only once, becuase 25% off was $112 off!  

Then... we went to go pay, and my scratch off coupon was worth 10% off, so we got another over $100 off between the laptop and Dyson!  I' was so excited!

I also got the Jillian Michaels Wii game so I'm hoping she can kick my butt into shape.

SamiJoeB

C!! I better be getting some cookies!!  I plan on doing lots of baking this weekend too!! All as gifts and making gifts since I'm a poor college student..

Good Morning, I'm at school with my prep time with nothing to do bc I did it all.  I wish I could take Winston to school with me, that would be fun having a puppy  in the classroom. The Kids set up a christmas tree at the front of the school, it looks very nice.

crownsuperstar

C- I feel the same way since that stupide Khols commerical and that song.  Oh my gosh when I see that commerical I get that song stuck in my head.  UGH it is now in my head.  HAA

Shan- cheer up! It is Friday.  I can sing you that song if you want. HAAA

AmandaSC1988

Cal - I lol'd about the Rebecca Black thing... and I totally agree.  But have you seen the censored version? I seriously am obnoxiously giggling to myself thinking about it.
It is a little obnoxious the first time you watch it and you are like "wtf, this is just a bunch of bleeping words out" but to me it just got funnier

freebread03

Crown-glad to hear that someone else is getting up at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow to run a race!  I signed up for this 15k at the urging of some friends.  I'm now realizing it was a dumb idea--there are supposedly 20,000 registered runners, which means the entire thing is going to be a major pain.  AND we're leaving my friends' house at 5:45 tomorrow morning. Ugh.

Ya'll are making me want a kitty!!!

firsttimersluck

Saaaammmmmiii!!!!!

You're adorable. 

I want to see pictures of this float ASAP! Give em up!! 

Aso, how do you add coffee to your protein shake? I need to learn!! Do you use powdered (like instant) coffee or..? 

Also, I need to give you my German Butter Cookie recipe because I have pulled it out and have made a bazillion :] Will do that when I get home tonight if I remember. 

Beach, I LOVe those scratch things from the NEX. We just discovered them when we were buying a bunch of booze and the woman behind us noticed we didn't have one and offered one of hers. So sweet. And I don't blame you. I have been asking for a vacuum for three Christmases now and he keeps saying no for the same reason.. but then I feel badly buying a crazy pricey vacuum on a random day.. I think my mom is buying me a Dyson for Christmas though so yes! 

Crown YAY for the run! Also take pictures!!! :] tehehehe You will do great! Are you wearing anything festive while running? And boo your SEC team :P GO VOLS!!!!!! Even though they are already out because they ruined it last weekend.... -_- haha It hurts me that you're rooting GA though since we're a Georgia Tech household here. 

ETA: Idk how I missed this binx.. I think it's because the fabulous clock distracted me, but I find it hilarious that he has an angry meow for his "rations" teeheheh :] 

kara811

Sami: I definitely want to see pictures of the float! I know you have been working on it for a while now. And I love hot pink nails!

Beach: I have been wanting to go to the NEX and use our scratch off coupon too, we have a couple with us. That's an awesome deal on the Dyson! 

Right now, I am knotting in between doing house chores! 

melbelle24

Sami- I want to see pictures!!! Crown- just because I'm curious... Are you cheering on GA for a particular reason? Or just because they're the East champ?

crownsuperstar

Mel- the H is a huge fan and we agreed (for the sake of our marriage HAA) that I would cheer on UGA when they were not playing USC and he would cheer for USC when not playing UGA.  We are a mixed marriage.  HAA!!!!

FTL- I do have a custome and it is complete with antlers and jingle bells.  HAA Pictures will follow.  Keep your eye out! 

Free- yeah this is one race that I am willing/happy to get up for.  It ends at a brewery.  YAY!!! Good luck!

ETA: FTL, I just saw the GA Tech comment.  HAA.  It is all about the Hubs! 

firsttimersluck

haha crown I can't wait!

I know.. We rout for each others' teams what can I say

Also, HEY GUYS HEY!! My Sept. Board just pointed this out..

FTL- NICE!!!!!

firsttimersluck

haha I know, yay! I know it's probably totally random so not really anything impressive but it's pretty cool ) 

freebread03

Crown-starts and ends at a Brewery?  That sounds like my kind of race!  We did a night race in July where they had a live band at the finish line, and your race bib got you FOUR 16oz Michelob Ultras.  When they told me I was only allowed to take two at a time, I kind of side-eyed them wondering where I'd put more than two large beers in my to hands...have fun!

That is awesome Firsty!!! Huh, I wonder if we should be looking at that more often, since so many people submitted pics. What if we missed someone else??!

divinemsbee

Binx- If I show my FI that clock he will have to have it. Of course, I have no idea what any of it means.

I made potato gratin last night and cannot stop eating leftovers. Must stop, but so creamy delicious. We got my ring back from being sized (I lost about 40 lbs since we got it, so it was really loose), yay! We're having our serious Christmas strategy talk tonight and then shopping and getting our tree tomorrow.

Sami-Can't wait to see the float!

I am so glad today isn't Monday, because if my day had started the way my day started today on a Monday, I think I would have curled up and died. 

I was getting ready to head into work this morning (at like 5:30am) and I was putting some stuff in the back of my SUV (that has a hatchback tailgate). It was like 20 degrees outside this morning, and it was windy. Well, the hydraulics don't work so well in a hatchback when it's cold, and the tailgate fell forcefully on my head with the help of some wind. My head, of course, started bleeding.... so I was late to work because I had to make my head stop bleeding (that always looks good, a bleeding Medic coming into work, right?! Hey, at least I didn't call 911...). This sucks because being late is like the one cardinal unforgiveable sin at my work. My boss has what he calls a one tolerance policy... IE you can be late once a year without getting fired. The only thing that makes this better is that my supervisor was late this morning, and she is the one I had to tell that I was late... she was waaay later than me though (I was like 5 min late, she was like.. an hour late)... so yeah. Freakin Friday.

BUUUUT I have a skype dinner date with this amazing guy that I get to call my hubs in a little under 6 months, so I'm super excited for that, even if I have a huge knot on my head and a headache.
