    We found the house of our dreams this weekend.   We went straight home to write an offer, and literally as our agent (my Mom) was doing a market analysis for us... it popped up as under contract.

    My dog was throwing up all day yesterday :-/  I really hope his tummy is just upset and that there is not something seriously wrong!

    Yesterday, Bill left his wallet at home while we went out for a fun little afternoon.  Thankfully, I had mine.  Today, I got to Chick Fil A for a quick breakfast and Diet Coke and my wallet was not in my purse.  It was on the couch where I left it last night.  Normally, I would have asked Bill to just bring it to me on his way to work but he left for Vegas this morning.  I am not functioning on a very high level this morning.

    @ Tiffany - that sucks! I hope something works out for you guys soon!
    @ Sparkling - you may have already done this, but cut off food for at least 24 hours to give the dog's system a rest (we've had to do this for my pup a few times, and it seems to really work).  Hope he feels better soon!

    I don't really have a b&m, mostly I just don't want to be at work right now. At all.

    Ugh! Why I am letting this get to me! The girl that made the comment on me has already went outside to smoke 4 times since getting here at 8am. So really how much has she worked since being here. Yell

    Tiffany- I'm sorry. That really sucks!
    Sarah- If it's just an upset tummy, and he's still relatively young, tried boiled rice, boiled chicken breast, and a tad of chicken stock/broth. Should help him :)

    My B&M is that i'm utterly exhausted. FI had a hockey game last night, it started at 9:30...about 15 penalties later, and 2 ejections we got to go home. I got to bed at about 1am....fell asleep at like 1:30 because i couldn't help but watch the tv FI was watching. Then I had to be up super early to run by the police station before. Now...i just want to crawl into bed.

    I'm still a little bummed at the whole having my dog get basically evicted thing. And I still have no idea how we're going to work that around the wedding in september. BUT i'm hoping...it somehow comes together

    And just because I didn't have any AW's on Thursday, and I can't wait. I have a few :)

    We found FI's tux this weekend. It's a $700 tux that we got on sale at the Nordstroms rack for $155. HA!

    I now have my "guitarist" to play my processional.

    I also got P90X yesterday, for free, from FSIL. I'm super excited! :)

    and I'm pretty sure we're going to either finalize our honeymoon stuff either this week or this following week. YAY yay and yay :)

    I'm excited about it! FI insists we do it together. Only problem...he doesn't get home from work until like 8:30/9pm. So we won't be done until 9:30/10 which means we can't eat until 10:30/11.....i'm going to be exhausted lol.

    My FI and I started out doing it together, but then I was kind of happy that he stopped doing it.  (He just goes to the gym during his lunch break now).  I liked doing it with him, but I also like being able to do it whenever I want.  I was doing it in the morning but found I didn't have enough energy.  So now I just do it right when I get home from work!  It will be hard at first, but once you just make it a part of your routine, you just get used to it! :-)  Do you have all the equipment you need?  I didn't have some of it at first and you really need to have it! :-)

    See that's the thing, I really want to do it with him because it'd be nice to do it together. And then we could motivate each other through it. But it just makes more sense if we don't. He doesn't leave for work until like 10:30/10:45. So it makes more sense for him to do it in the morning. I leave closer to 7:45...And I just don't see me getting up at 5am to work out. But I get home at like 6...so it makes more sense for me to do it RIGHT when I get back home.

    I guess we'll do it for a little while together when he gets home. And see if it works for us...who knows. it might :).

    Yeah, we do :) I have ankle weights that are about 5lbs each, and then we have dumbbells that are like 12lbs each. So I figure i might start out using the ankle weights first (just hold them like dumbbells), then switch over depending on how i do with the 5lbs lol. We bought the pull up bar about a year and a half ago. The one that goes in between the door frame. Depending on how it goes with that stuff we'll get more bells, or the resistance bands. :)

    I bet he will figure out that its easier for ya'll to do it seperately after a while!  Yea, I started with 5 lb weights and now I use 8 or 10 lb ones.  I was always too afraid to get one of the pull-up bars.  Maybe I've watched too many America's Funniest Home Videos....where the balls always fall down!  So I use the bands!

    ha! yeah, we bought it about a year and a half ago, in our first apartment. FI really wanted one. After about 8 months it turned into mostly just holding laundry when we would be taking it out of the dryer and hanging it there as a middle man to the closet. lol. We've never had it fall though. thankfully. *knocks on wood*

    My allergies are horrible. 

    Today I have the first rehearsal with the orchestra for Peter Pan. I've never conducted instrumentalists, and they're all professionals, so I'm kind of nervous. At least with the high school kids, I know that I know more than them. Not the case in this situation!

    Will the seller accept back up contracts?  When we put our second offer on our house, there was an offer already on the table.  It didn't work out and we got it. 

    DH nearly had a cow when he saw there was an offer already down on it. 
  • edited December 2011

    Thanks Ladies.     If that one is meant to be then its current deal will fall through and we will have the opportunity :)   I'm trying really hard not to wish that on them though.  REALLY hard.

    ETA:  shortgirl - yes, they would...but we don't want to be tied up for potentially a month waiting.  We want to keep looking.   My Mom talked to the agent (who so happens to also be the owner of the home) and he didn't give any indication that the deal was iron clad since they are still in option right now... so he is going to call us if it falls through for any reason.

    I know I shouldn't B&M about how well we are doing revenue-wise at work right now, but I really want things to slow down even if just for a bit. I'm spending all this week doing logistics for SuperBowl parties next week, and I'm very uptight about it all going smoothly. This is like holiday season part 2 cause our entire team is frazzled and lashing out at eachother from being so tired.

    I am so ready for Feb 11 to get here so I can say PEACE for a week and not have to worry about anything but enjoying time with FI.

    Mine isn't really B&M - but I'm gonna say it anyway.
    Has anyone been to Uptown Popcorn?  It's in Northpark Mall and in Allen across from the outlet mall.  I went there and they have a ton of flavors (like the Mom and PopCorn shop in McKinney).  I just thought of all of you doing candy buffets.  They have lots of different colors, etc.  That's all.
