Re: Monday night

  • Hey Bay. I couldn't figure out if everyone was on the offboard or not.
  • Yup! Not for terribly long tho. I've been up waiting for my mom to Skype with me, but she's running late. How're you, Bay?
  • I just came over to see if the knut was fixed yet
  • I'm here for a few more minutes then I have to head off to go look at my wedding pictures at my grandparents. 

    How was everyones day?
    image
  • I am!  H and I just grilled out for dinner - I had a veggie burger and he had a real burger, and we did some foil-wrapped potatoes and onions.  Yum!  I am currently within my calorie range for the day (for the first time in AGES) but I'm already pondering dessert. And rationalizing it to myself, because I worked out so that gets me another 300 calories or so.  Right?  Right.

    I am applying for a rotational assignment in DC and I just turned in my application today.  I am nervous - mostly nervous that I'll get accepted for it!  But it would be a really good career move, even though I don't necessarily want to go away.  It's one of those things where I almost hope I don't get it, so the decision is out of my hands.
  • I went to the offboad but couldn't get my sig right so I quit.  Because I'm clearly 5 years old.

    I'm pretty good!  Spending the night in and watching SATC.  Happy because H was scheduled to work during counseling tomorrow and he switched shifts without my asking him to.  Tomorrow I have a doctor's appt, then counseling, then going to dinner with a high school friend I haven't seen since our wedding (a year and a half ago).  I'm psyched for tomorow.  Also, my practice poi came in today in time for WF on Friday!  Now if I could only manage to stave off this cold I'd be 100% happy.

    How is everyone?

    Hi all!

    I am not impressed, FI & I have always spoken about naming our son (if we were to ever have one) Jacobus (Jacob for short) after his grandfather whom he was very close too and its a very dutch name (FI is part dutch). Today there was an article about the top 10 names for 2011 & Jacob is number one because of Twilight. NOT IMPRESSED. lol Now if/when we are to use that name people will just think I'm fan girling over twilight.

    Other than that my day was okay, work wasnt horrible the day went by quickly.

    I'm showing them to my grandparents, dad and Stepmom. <div>I got the discs on Friday so I've looked at them tons!</div>

  • Hi ladies! I don't know if I want to join the other board. I mean, I like it here - glitches aside. 

    I have been dealing with chasing up RSVPs today. I got 10/33 back. Ick. But I've gotten in touch with all but 6 - so go us. 

    Other than that I'm feeling alright. Looking forward to some chicken for dinner.

    Haha, I bet! I love photos. That's one of the things I'm most excited about. Did they get all the shots you wanted?

    <div>I always liked the name Edward. Not for any special reason like you've got - I just like the name. Now I don't think I can use it haha.</div>

    This is my feeling about it...

  • So we just found out this weekend that the lady we were dealing with from our catering company quit and now we have some new lady. I have no idea when the other lady quit. I emailed our final guest count and the new lady emailed me back and said I'll be handling this now. Thanks for letting us know? I feel like they should've told us that she quit, right?

    Abb if you get the job in DC does that mean a location change?
    image
  • Eep poke, that's not a fun response rate. But 20 days!

    Dileni, I saw that too. Isabella finally dropped out of the #1 spot for girls, though. I'm wondering if Katniss will make a leap...
  • I'm too lazy to offboard.

    Delini- Jacob has always been a popular name. I would never make the correlation of Twilight and Jacob since it has always been common. Edward on the other hand? I would.

    Work is dragging. My asss is literally killing me (screw you Jackie Warner), but other than that I'm good :D

    H and I are naming our first son after my dad. His full name won't be ideal, but his nickname is going to be 'Will,' which is cute.

  • Sparent - I actually don't mind that soreness you feel after exercising. Even though I'm in pain, I feel good about it. 

    Lissa - yeah, I wasn't thrilled haha.
  • Lisa- Ive ALWAYS liked the name Emma, ever since i was a kid that was always the name I wanted to "change my name too" haha but its always been so popular. I wouldnt be surprised to see Katniss up there soon. 

    sparent - lol that makes me feel a lot better.

  • Dileni, I blame Friends for the relatively recent surge in the name 'Emma'.

    mk, do you like it okay? I tried to migrate with one of the nestie boards... didn't really like it. Too set in my ways, I guess.
  • We're using my dad's middle name (Thomas) for any boys we have and my grandpa's middle name (Ray, but spell it Rae) for any girls we have. All my uncles and my boy cousins have Ray as their middle name and my aunt and mom have Raychelle and Raynette so I want to carry on the tradition.

    Hi!  MIL and SIL just left.  We had pizza and salad at my house before SIL's flight.  H is with his best friend, whose dad just died.

    I think I need wine.

    Oh me too!<div>
    </div><div>FI & I's favourite name for a girl Is Violet Emma & boy is Jacobus James (after both our grandfathers). When the movie "5 year engagement" came out and i found out Emily Blunt's characters name was Violet I was like "nooo". FI's sister got pregnant last year and said that if she had a boy she was going to name him Jacobus after my FI (Jacobus is actually my FI's middle name and he was named after his grandfather) & although it was a nice thought we were both secretly screaming NO in our heads, we couldnt exactly say 'no thats what we want to name our future potential non existent son!". Thankfully she had another girl lol. FI's cousin is pregnant now and its a girl and I'm hoping that by some random coincidence she doesnt pick Violet lol</div>

  • Evening! 

    I doubt our kids' names will ever be on the top 10 list. We've picked out the names Anakin (actually FI picked that one), Adia, and River.
