FRIDAY!

Swazzle · September 2015

Happy Friday, people!

Last night I spent an hour and a half at Urgent Care getting my butt inspected. I got bit by something (2 separate bites in the same area) Tuesday night after my run and it swelled and was really red but it didn't hurt or itch so I didn't think much of it. Yesterday morning it looked a little discolored, like a very faint bruise and when I got home from work, the whole area had bruised into purpley red and just didn't look good at all. So, apparently I got bit by a fucking spider and I am not pleased. I keep thinking I have bugs crawling on me. I do NOT do well with bugs and especially spiders. I would literally jump out of a moving vehicle to get away from one. SIGH.

My weekend is going to be the best! I'm leaving work around noon and taking the train to @GoldenPenguin and then we're driving to @csousa1's house in MA. Tonight will be eating, drinking, Britney dance party in the living room. Tomorrow, we're spending the day in Salem which I'm excited about! I'm not sure what the plan is for tomorrow night but I know it'll be fun. Sunday, my train home is around 11:30 and I will cry. My IL's are coming over for football around 4 so as soon as I get home, I'll be on entertaining duty. I just hope I'm not hungover or they'll be getting a bag of chips and a jar of salsa and I'll be upstairs in my bed :::peace emoji::::

I hope everyone has a spectacular weekend!

@swazzle omg spiders! I had a bite years ago and all I remember is it being painful.

Last night I watched greys, scandal, and how to get away with murder and I realized that I hadn't seen like the last three episodes of scandal and murder so I was a bit behind but OMG lots of twists and turns. Idk how to feel about greys... I'm glad they're trying to lighten up the show but not much went on this episode.

Tomorrow bf and I are going to the Global Citizen Festival in central park and I'm super excited! Pearl jam, coldplay, ed sheeran, and Beyonce will be performing! Sunday I don't know what's in my future... Probably homework lol.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@Swazzle OH NO!!!!! That is one of my worst fears are spider bites! They are awful! I hope that they were able to treat it some how!

Today is my birthday but I don't think it will be Callie's birthday because I feel completely normal despite being overdue by 3 days. My cervix would need to go from 0 to 60 in a matter of hours lol....I don't feel like that's going to happen to me unfortunately.

I'm getting coffee with @labro at our favorite coffee spot this afternoon and then tonight DH is making Jambalaya for the family! It's the best Jambalaya ever! I love it!

This weekend we don't have any plans...I need to shave my legs lol. I plan on walking all over the place and having seks.

So yesterday at my appointment my doctor told us that my cervix probably won't become favorable for birth by 41 weeks so she is scheduling an induction for next Tuesday. Callie is doing GREAT in my ute. She really enjoys her life in there lol. Soo...the probability of her coming out before Tuesday isn't high....but the awesome amazing news is that I'm going to officially be a MOTHER by next Tuesday evening!!!

Oh I wanted to AW what DH got me for my birthday!! He came home yesterday afternoon with roses and a beautiful sapphire necklace! He said he wanted to give me something special that commemorates the birth of our daughter since we will share the same birth month. Then!!!!!!! He pulled out a single rose and I asked who that one was for and he said he wanted to be the first person to give Callie flowers after she is born. I BALLED! I thought that was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. I just love him.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@Swazzle - I've had spider bites before... no fun. Hope they heal up quickly!!

@southernpeach89 - Happy birthday!!! I hope that Callie gets going before Tuesday, but if not, can't wait to see all the pictures of your beautiful daughter.

Today I have plans of... working until lunch, exercise, grocery shopping, cleaning out the fridge, cooking a Brazilian dinner, going on a coffee date with H, and watching the new Cinderella movie. BIG PLANS YO.

lavenderfields13 · September 2015

@Swazzle Ugh that's awful- did they give you anything to put on the bites or no? How rude of that spider to be all up in yuor space like that. I am TERRIFIED of spiders too and I'm surprised I haven't got into a driving accident yet because of them.. :knocks on wood:

@untouchablets Have fun with your BF tomorrow!

@Southernpeach89 Aww that is SO SWEET of your husband

Glad that you finally know when Callie will be here by! This got me wondering what the longest a baby has ever decided to stay in the womb for and come out perfectly fine. My MIL says H was born like 3 weeks late and that was in the 80's, I wonder how long the used to let women go.

ETA: Happy birthday!!

lavenderfields13 · September 2015

I made myself go for a walk yesterday after work and listened to the first episode of the Undisclosed podcast at the suggestion of @eilis1228. I was kind of distracted and kept thinking I miss Serial- Sara Koenig's voice was so easy to listen to lol. I'll listen to more Undisclosed when I have to walk alone.

So I decided I'm going to start using My Fitness Pal again so I can track my calories and lose a few pounds. I weighed myself this morning so I can start tracking my weight and I was SO disappointed. I thought that I'd probably only gained 1-2 pounds. More like 6-7 since I last weighed myself a few months ago

No wonder why all my pants and short- even PJ bottoms are tight. I haven't seen that number on the scale in a really long time and I just feel pretty depressed right now. A few years ago I was at my heaviest and it took a long time to lose weight and then I was finally happy with my self again. I've let myself get so close to that heavier weight again and it just sucks.

Swazzle · September 2015

@untouchablets - I didn't get to watch any shows last night but I might try while I'm at work right now because it's so dead. Have fun at the concert tomorrow night!

@southernpeach89 - Omg your H is the sweetest! Callie is going to be here within the next FOUR days! HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS

@CocoBellaF - I think I heard good things about the new Cinderella but I haven't seen it. Enjoy your early Friday!

@lavenderfields13 - That's all I keep thinking, that at some point, there was a fucking spider ON my body and it decided to stick its fangs into my ass. RUDE. I really loved Undisclosed because of the information they shared but the one woman's voice drove me nuts. It sucks to see that we've gained more than we expected BUT you can't change the past, only what you do today and going forward so put it behind you. I'm in exactly the same boat with getting back to my heaviest weight except mine was more like 20 pounds. Just keep a positive attitude and remember that every day is a new day!

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@lavenderfields13 I've heard of letting mom's go all the way to 42 weeks but not any longer. My doctor told me 41 weeks is her max on letting her patients go over due just for the safety of the baby because the fluid is getting low and placenta are probably getting to be useless.

In the days of when there weren't any ultrasounds I'm sure doctors would let women go much longer...which is scary.

lavenderfields13 · September 2015

I keep posting and then forget I wanted to type more!

Before I realized how much I weighed my plan today was to relax after work and order a pizza like usual unless my friend wanted to walk. Not sure what I'll do now if she's not around.

Tomorrow I'm going to see my grandma and help her find some stuff in her storage unit. She sold her house last fall and then put all her stuff in storage and moved in with my aunt while she was waiting on an apartment. She's in her apartment now and couldn't find a lot of the stuff she needs in storage. So we'll do that and go out to lunch. Sunday will be grocery shopping and probably sitting on the couch reading while H watched football all.day.long. Ugh

Does anyone use a HRM that doesn't have a strap? I had a Polar with a strap which was really annoying and it didn't last very long. I want a new one so I can count the calories I burn during exercise.

Oh ok I didn't realize any of that stuff about fluid getting low. I sometimes wonder if H really was 3 weeks overdue because my MIL tends to exaggerate a bit.

buddysmom80 · September 2015

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!!!!

@swazzle have fun this weekend, give lots of mouth kisses to @goldenpenguin and @csousa1 from me. I miss you guys so bad.

@untouchablets I think I'm going to start watching Scandal. I used to watch it at work in the afternoon on Netflix but I can't do that anymore. I have nothing to do Saturday so maybe I'll start that from the beginning again.

@southernpeach89 HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHERE'S CALLIE???????? FWIW my mom was due with me on June 22nd and they didn't do a c-section until July 8th (the figured the fireworks would put my mom into labor) so don't get discouraged, you seem to be handling this fine, but I'm so freaking excited for you.

@cocobellaf let me know how the new Cinderella movie is. H downloaded it on our server but I haven't watched it yet.

As for me:

I'm working until 4pm today, going home to let Quigley out and picking up birthday gifts for H (his birthday is today!!!). I bought him a leaf blower (every year he says he says he's going to buy one when he rakes the leaves then forgets), a beard trimmer and an external hard drive for his Xbox One. After I do all of that, I'm treating myself to a pedicure.

Saturday, I have a doctor's appointment at the butt crack of dawn a half hour away from me, so that means I have to wake up at 5am. After the appointment I'm going to Big Y to get a birthday cake and candles for H (oh and grocery shopping, which I HATE). Then I have an appointment for a manicure. After that I'm not doing anything except ordering Chinese food for H for birthday dinner. We might go to his friend's house after dinner to play cards.

Sunday is relaxing, laundry and football.

untouchablets · September 2015

@southernpeach89 HAPPY BIRTHDAY and almost birthday to Callie!

@swazzle aw man I was hoping you had watched so we could discuss!

@buddysmom80 scandal is by far the most dramatic show lol without greys which has been my longtime fave scandal would be my number 1!

Swazzle · September 2015

@buddysmom80 - Scandal is the shit. You should also watch How to Get Away with Murder. This is only the 2nd season so catching up will be easy!

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@buddysmom80 Wow! I bet your mom was beyond ready to have you here! You were just like Callie, you were nice and comfy where you were. I was 2 days late I think but if it were up to me I would want to stay in there too, you basically get everything you need lol.

speakeasy14 · September 2015

@southernpeach89 Happy Birthday!!!! Maybe Callie wants to share her birthday with her momma! Or maybe she doesn't want you to be in labor for your birthday, and she'll start moving tomorrow!

@swazzle OMG!! Could they tell what kind of spider? I hope your hubby iced your butt all night for you.

@untouchablets Have fun tomorrow!

@cocobellaf Oooo let me know how Cinderella is; I've heard good things, but need to add it to my list.

We put the flooring down in the addition. We are almost in a construction free zone!!!! Tonight will be working on stuff around the house and running errands. I'll be spending a lot of time cleaning since now we can get all the construction stuff out of my kitchen! Tomorrow I'm going to the local farmer's market with my mom. Who knows what else we will end up doing.

My mom HATED being pregnant so she was miserable, she said she walked miles to try to induce labor. Her water didn't break until they were wheeling her to the OR for her c-section. She asked if she could go natural and they told her no since they booked OR time for her and everything was ready to go. I guess I was a lazy baby, but you're right you don't have to adult or anything in there.

Swazzle · September 2015

@speakeasy14 - Nope, she said she's see a ton of spider bites over the last week or so too which is weird. I'm actually not really in any pain, only if I touch the area thankfully! Yay for almost being done with construction!!!!!

lavenderfields13 · September 2015

@buddysmom80 Happy birthday to your husband! Enjoy your manicure and pedicure this weekend!

minskat30 · September 2015

@swazzle - Ugh, that sounds awful. I'm with you on bugs, especially spiders. I hope you are feeling better.

@untouchablets - Have fun at the concert!

@southernpeach89 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I'm so very excited for you to meet Callie next week!

@lavenderfields13 - I've been there but at a lot higher weight. I've lost 25lb so far but still have another 10 to go if I'm honest. 6lb might seem like a lot but good for you for catching it early.

@buddysmom80 -Happy birthday to your H!!!

------------------------------------------------

My deal (or my part of the deal) I've been gripping about closed yesterday. I couldn't be more thrilled to have it behind me. H and I also had a productive budget meeting yesterday since we both had a good day Thursday (I took a half day off work to rest). We took a nice 5 mile walk together too so that was really wonderful.

Tonight I'll make H some chicken masala and have a chicken salad for myself. I hope to get a 5 mile walk in before that as well. We will likely just relax tonight and I'll go to bed early because I've got an early morning gym class.

Saturday will be spin at the gym, then food buying for the week, then shower and eat breakfast followed by THE ZOO. I'm excited we are finally going to use our free tickets. I think we will wander around a bit at the zoo and see the polar bears.

Sunday will be a morning walk to the mall (about 3 miles). I need some clothes for our trip to India since most of my clothes are loose now (yeah!) other than a few dresses I have from my skinnier days. I'm thinking I'll see what White House Black Market has. Then cooking and watching football games.

labro · September 2015

@southernpeach89 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Swazzle OMG WTF!!! I feel all creepy crawly now! Spiders are the enemy!!

@buddysmom80 Happy Birthday to your H! Obviously today is an awesome day to be born. Callie is missing out, that little stinker! Have a good weekend!

Not a lot of plans for me I guess. I have lots of work to do that will probably extend through the weekend. HOWEVER, I'm making myself get out of the house and get some delicious coffee with @southernpeach89. Then it's delicious jambalaya tonight for her birthday! I can't wait!!

Peaseblossom55 · September 2015

@southernpeach89 Happy birthday!

@swazzle ugh it makes my skin crawl knowing there might have been a spider on me. I've always wanted to go to Salem especially after doing The Crucible. Have a good weekend!

@speakeasy14 Yay for almost being construction free!

@untouchablets Have fun with your BF this weekend

I am tired and have a bad headache. Sleeping and trying to fall asleep did not go well, I kept having nightmares and bad thoughts. Although I have an app on my phone that tracks how I sleep, how much I wake up and toss and turn. It's pretty neat, but that app says I slept well only after 4am. I'm just ready for 5pm and my weekend. My weekend will be studying focused mostly. Tonight I'm studying H has hockey. Tomorrow our friend invited us over to his house for his annual wine making event. It's usually fun but I think I will just go to yoga and study the rest of the afternoon.

Sunday there is an Italian Carnival near by H & I want to go to for a bit. Then watch football and relax. I should do some laundry this weekend too. Hopefully next weekend involves a lot more sleeping and reading all the books for fun since I will have passed my test!!!!!

beachyone15 · September 2015

Last night = awesome! The Little Mermaid was so good! Plus, since we had to go downtown we ate dinner at TX Land and Cattle. We tried to make the effort to make better choices (he got a salad and I got a chicken sandwich) but their freaking sourdough bread got us!
Today I'm going to TRY to focus on work, but I'm leaving early to head to the beach with my mom and BFF. Can't wait!

@swazzle - Oh no! My mom got a spider bite on her foot once and her whole foot swelled up. It was pretty scary. Hopefully you will have such a fun weekend that you'll forget all about those creepy crawlies!
@untouchablets - Pearl Jam, awesome! I've seen them live and they are great!
@southernpeach89 - Oh my gosh, what a sweet H! Callie needs to come out already!
@CocoBellaF - What does a Brazilian dinner consist of?
@lavenderfields13 - I know, the same thing has happened to me. Keeping my weight in check has always been a constant struggle. The good thing is, there are lots of ladies here to motivate us!
@buddysmom80 - I would love a mani/pedi - it's been too long! Happy birthday to your H!
@speakeasy14 - You guys are getting stuff done fast. Can't wait to see what the house ends up looking like!
@minskat30 - Have fun at the zoo! I love going. We have a pretty good one here, but it's so hot that they don't have polar bears or penguins which is such a shame!
@labro - Happy Friday! I hope you have some time to relax and enjoy the weekend!
@Peaseblossom55 - Good luck studying for that test. You got this!

lavenderfields13 · September 2015

@beachyone15 Yum sourdough bread! I could live on bread I love it so much.

Swazzle · September 2015

@minskat30 - Mmmm chicken masala. I want that! I'm super excited for the weekend but part of me is bummed that I won't make it to yoga tomorrow morning

@beachyone15 - Holy gorgeous sig pic!

All of this. Forever and ever.

beachyone15 · September 2015

@lavenderfields13 - ME TOO. Extra butter please.

@swazzle - Thank you!

[Deleted User] · September 2015

@beachyone15 - I'm marinating some flank steak in olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, cilantro and we're going to grill it. I'm also making collard greens and coconut milk rice and some fried plantains with cinnamon. YUM!

@swazzle - Thank you!

YES!

And I wonder why I can't manage my weight lol

cu97tiger · September 2015

@swazzle - Your weekend sounds so fun! That sucks about the spider bites. Did they give you anything for them?

@untouchablets - I saw Pearl Jam in 1997, I wonder if they are as good now as they were then! I'd be excited about Ed Sheeran and Beyonce, for sure!

@southernpeach89 - I am still holding out hope that Callie makes her debut today (or at least starts the process today!). My due date was 8/16 and I was born 8/20... fyi. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

@peaseblossom55 - I am sending you all the vibes for you to pass this test so that this studying can be done!!

Good morning ladies! Last night I got home, DH was making dinner (HC Thai linquine w/ peanut sauce - YUM) so I started cleaning. We still have major dust, so last night I cleaned all the light fixtures, and dusted (part of) the ceiling fans. Then I dusted the whole house. Then I cleaned the bathrooms. And by clean the bathrooms, I mean I wiped out the tubs and sinks, and cleaned the toilets.

DH's friend arrives this afternoon. He is so excited and I'm very excited for him. They are going to start bar hopping the minute they get to town. I'll probably meet them at bar #2 or 3. Tomorrow I'm going to run 3 miles, then probably grab breakfast with them. I'm going to try to talk @tuarceatha into doing a little hiking/walking, then we'll grab some food, maybe a glass of wine, and go to the fair!

Sunday I'm making breakfast for everyone, then most likely more drinking

Should be a great weekend!

buddysmom80 · September 2015

Now I want some sort of dip in a sourdough bread bowl. Thanks guys.

GoldenPenguin · September 2015

I GET TO SEE MY BEST FRIENDS IN JUST A FEW HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait. I'm super excited for Salem - somehow I've never been. I'm hoping @swazzle & @csousa1 will want to track down all the Hocus Pocus locations with me

That's really all I can muster right now, sorry :-D

FRIDAY!
