Good morning!

Happy Saturday!

Boring day planned here. Laundry, cleaning, some de-cluttering/pre-packing.  Dinner later with a friend and his new girlfriend.  We tried to take them to dinner last weekend, but H didn't check the restaurant we were going to and they were already closed when we got there so we went somewhere else.  It was kind of nuts.

Re: Good morning!

  • Hi Loopster!
    I'm watching Love and Other Drugs.  I was planning on going to an estate sale today, but I'm feeling super lazy.

  • Good morning!  Getting motivated here with some coffee.  I'm going to bake some mac 'n cheese later to take for our early Easter dinner, so I need to go get stuff for that.

  • I was super lazy yesterday.  Stayed in bed until after noon, didn't cook dinner, went to bed early.  I feel much better today.  I was totally blah and unmotivated yesterday.
  • Good morning. 

    I went to bed after 12 last night because I really wanted to sleep. Well, I had to force myself to sleep til 9. 

    Today is a lazy day until I have to work at 4. I think FI's grandparents are coming into town for his birthday so we might do something with them.
  • Pre packing? I must be missing something! Vacation or moving? Morning, btw! H and I are getting facials this morning, then meeting up with friends and family for some BBQ. And that's about it. We lead such exciting lives.
  • I have to mix the dough for my poppyseed coffee cake this afternoon too.  It is supposed to be refrigerated over night before putting the filling in and baking and MIL asked if I'd bring it for easter brunch tomorrow.  
  • Enjoy your facials LDY!

    Am I the only one who associates the word facial with something dirty?
  • Morning !!

    We had power all night long... Woo Hoo. 

    I'm just doing some laundry and then I'm off to work.  We have a good numbers today.  Let's hope they tip..   Unfortunately one of my crewmates is back from vacation.  She is just a PITA to work with, we all commented on how nice it's been while she was gone.   I'm hoping I do not have to work with her much this week.  








    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • KJB, I have never been to an estate sale, but I think I would love that.

  • LDY - getting ready to put the house on the market.  So technically it's decluttering at this point so the house looks nicer to show, but if we sell then stuff will already be packed up in boxes ready to go LOL.  While we don't have a place to move TO picked out yet, we'll hopefully be moving somewhere later this summer.  I have my doubts that we'll get an offer for this house that we can afford to take (we owe more than we can sell for definitely - it's just a matter of getting an offer that is close enough that our savings can cover the difference - so we'll see).
  • Good Morning!
    My grandpa is coming over today. My mom and I are going to help him with thank you notes. He is having a really hard time since his wife passed away.

    Other than that I hope to get some cleaning done today while my FI is at work!

  • Ladies, I only have 4 movies on my netflix queue. I need recommendations! I like romantic comedies or regular comedies.

    <div>We need to de-clutter before we put our place up for sale also.   I have mixed feelings.  I'm dreading the process, but I also know I will like the end result.  </div><div>
    </div><div>Unfortunately, both DH and I have had really busy schedules have only have 1 day off in a span of 13 days, so it's been a slow start.</div>

  • morning!!!!!

    i have been up over an hour....and i am starving ...but i am too lazy to make something to eat.


    its cold and rainy here today....good day for laundry and movies on the tv
  • I am working on it as I manage to scavenge paper boxes from work so it's going slowly.  I have 3 boxes to use this weekend.  I may use one of them to take some giveaway stuff to goodwill.
  • loopy save your boxes for you....use trash bags for the donations!
  • The donations are a bunch of flower vases and glass bowls and wedding stuff that will most likely break if I throw them in a garbage bag, or I totally would.  LOL.  Garbage bags are my usual Goodwill donation hauler :).
  • Aleigh, have you seen The Switch with Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston?  It's cute.

    </div><div>Our problem is we do not want to ship a lot of things back to the states.(ie.  we are not taking any furniture)  It's not really cost effective. So we have things to sell, giveaway, throw out or will be sold with the condo and/or be used by a tenant if we rent.  </div><div>

  • Cassie - Yep, I've seen that one
  • Lynda - that does pose some interesting problems doesn't it.  At least we know wherever we go, we will take most/all of it with us.  I filled two huge rubbermaid containers with "keep" stuff out of the closet in the office and a garbage bag of trash too.  Do you have anything official about where you are going to be moving to yet?  Did Phoenix come through with an offer?
  • Yuck, loops!! I hope youre able to get a good offer. That scares me so much about when we eventually sell this place. We got a GREAT deal, but I'm still nervous about it...and we just moved in in November lol. Aleigh, are you anti getting tv shows from Netflix? I just noticed (thanks ticker!) that H and I have been married 6 months today! Woot! I haven't scared him off yet! Facials for the half-aversary! And H giggles everytime I say facial so yes, dirty minds all around!
  • Morning all. I've been up far too long. Had to get my vehicle safety inspection and I wanted to get there first thing so I could get one of the first inspections. Now I'm just fighting off a nap for a little while. Is it sad that I'm really looking forward to reorganizing my closet later?

    Why would facial have a dirty connotation? (Heh heh... facial... heh.)
  • Ldy, I am very anti-tv shows on netflix. It takes way too long to watch them. It took us forever to watch Nip/Tuck and I just found out they recently made every episode instant. I'm pissed.
  • Good morning!  I'm trying to get motivated to write my research paper that I need to turn in Monday.  Procrastination, party of one?  Yes, that would be me.  I think I need coffee to get the process started.

  • adamar, how long does your paper need to be? have you started it yet? having 48 hours to write it isn't giving you enough motivation? heehee!

    that reminds me I need to go check to see if my grade's been posted ::gulp::
  • I'm hoping H quits his job early today and comes home and goes to the estate sale with me.  I don't know why I can't be an adult and go by myself.
