I know a few people are off today...lucky ducks.  What do you have going on this weekend?  

Hopefully between today and tomorrow morning/afternoon I can both start and finish my holiday shopping.  I'm going to have to go to a mall, guys...wish me luck.  H and I are going to see Star Wars on Saturday evening.  I'm going to get popcorn and eat it all...yup, that's what I'm looking forward to.  Speaking of unhealthy habits, I haven't worked out at all this week despite telling myself to be better and get back on track.  My gym is closed for renovations but I have another one at work I can go to...I've just been lazy.  Sigh.  I'm hoping my workout partner will help me get back on track next week when our gym opens.  

Sunday will be food shopping and food prep.  And snuggles with Rajah and H.  We are also determined to put the baby's stroller together.  We bought a stroller and car seat for Black Friday and still haven't opened the box.  We need to do that or else I'm worried we won't like the stroller and can't replace it.  Its our first and only baby purchase thus far but its a big one.  ;)

Questions for the day...Would you rather?
  1. Go skiing or snowshoeing?
  2. Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat?
  3. Go on a cruise to a bunch of islands or pick one island?  If the latter, which one?
  4. Go to a comedy club or dance club?
  5. Win the lottery or find your perfect job?
  6. Swim in a pool or the ocean? 
  7. Would you rather know everything or be amazing at any activity you tried?
  8. Would you rather live a short life and be rich or have a long life and be poor?
  9. Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food?
  10. Would you rather have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes granted 5 years from now?

    My work holiday party is today so that's fun. It's just food and yankee swap in the cafeteria, nothing fancy but still fun. Tomorrow night is my Christmas present...H is taking me to a surprise fancy restaurant. That's all I asked for so I'm excited!

    @minskat30 I bought this "movie theater butter" oil at the grocery store that I put on my home made popcorn, it's actually really freaking good....had it for dinner last night lol

    1. Go skiing or snowshoeing? Have never done either but I'd like to try!
    2. Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat? speed!
    3. Go on a cruise to a bunch of islands or pick one island?  If the latter, which one? We loved our fall cruise and seeing the different islands, prob do that again
    4. Go to a comedy club or dance club? comedy for suuuure
    5. Win the lottery or find your perfect job? if the lottery is enough to cover doing my perfect job...
    6. Swim in a pool or the ocean? ocean but I'm a wussy and only go up to my waist because I'm scared of waves. got sucked under by undertoe in San Juan when I was 7 and almost died so I don't fuck with waves!
    7. Would you rather know everything or be amazing at any activity you tried? be amazing I guess
    8. Would you rather live a short life and be rich or have a long life and be poor? long, rich with love! aaaw corny but true
    9. Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food? how the hell did you come up with that question lol. never eat cold. I'm the freak who is not interested in cold pizza.
    10. Would you rather have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes granted 5 years from now? hmmm probably today because who's going to say I'll be around in 5 years?

    1. Go skiing or snowshoeing? Snowshoeing...I have no balance so I think that would be easier.
    2. Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat? Speed boat.  But not this one... 
    3. Go on a cruise to a bunch of islands or pick one island?  If the latter, which one? I haven't been to a ton of islands so I'd pick the cruise, find the island I liked and go back to my favorite island and just hang out there the next time around. 
    4. Go to a comedy club or dance club? Comedy club...I feel too old for dancing (though I do love it).
    5. Win the lottery or find your perfect job? Lottery....I know, I know "feed a man" vs "teach a man to fish".  
    6. Swim in a pool or the ocean?  Pool, I hate salt in my eyes. 
    7. Would you rather know everything or be amazing at any activity you tried? Be amazing at any activity I tried.  
    8. Would you rather live a short life and be rich or have a long life and be poor? This one is hard.  If I was poor-poor, I'd pick the short life and rich though. 
    9. Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food? I'd give up cold food...I can't imagine giving up pizza or nachos and only pizza tastes ok cold.  
    10. Would you rather have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes granted 5 years from now? I could wait 5 years for 3 wishes.

    Good morning. I'm still under the weather but super excited because today is my last day of work before my 2 WEEK BREAK! Thank the baby Jesus.
    I'm probably still not feeling well because I didn't get much sleep last night and H and I were out late. We went to go see The Book of Mormon and let's just say it was...interesting. I suppose I could see how some people might be offended by it, but honestly it was so over the top that I wasn't offended at all. Anyway, H and I had fun but got home super late so I'm dragging myself through today.
    I'm not sure what I'm doing this weekend, but I'm all done Christmas shopping so I'll probably be wrapping.

    @minskat - Don't be too hard on yourself. Working out is so hard this time of year. The weeks just get to be so busy! Good luck at the mall. Just make a plan and stay focused!
    @jenna8984 - What kind of fancy restaurant are you hoping for? Steak? Sushi?
    1. Go skiing or snowshoeing? Never been snowshoeing but I'd love to try it!
    2. Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat? Speed boat
    3. Go on a cruise to a bunch of islands or pick one island?  If the latter, which one? Cruise to a bunch of islands for sure
    4. Go to a comedy club or dance club? Comedy club
    5. Win the lottery or find your perfect job? Lottery - all day long
    6. Swim in a pool or the ocean? Honestly I like both
    7. Would you rather know everything or be amazing at any activity you tried? Amazing at any activity. I think being a know-it-all would be kind of annoying.
    8. Would you rather live a short life and be rich or have a long life and be poor? As long as I have my family and H, I would rather live long and all be poor together! :)
    9. Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food? Never eat cold. Adios salads!
    10. Would you rather have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes granted 5 years from now? I'll go with 3 five years from now. I like where I'm at now and who wouldn't want 3 wishes?!

    @beachyone15 I'm hoping for Italian since I can't eat my fave sushi (raw) for 7 more months. Isn't Book of Mormon a Tre Parker & Matt Stone thing? Or am I thinking of the wrong thing? I love anything they do.

    @misskittydanger I was super impressed with Big Bang last night! I was sure they were going to bail out at the last minute...

    @twodimes aw hope you feel better later, but even if not pizza on the couch is always a great night

    @minskat30 I wish we had looked at the stroller first. I just registered online, but the stroller we got (the Britax one) has the SMALLEST basket for carrying things. You can't get a decent/normal sized diaper bag in there to save your life. Most I could get was my purse and a couple diapers and a wet bag. 

    Questions for the day...Would you rather?
    1. Go skiing or snowshoeing? Uhhhhhhhhh...Welllllllllll...I'm terrified of sking and breaking my leg, and I have no desire to have my legs fall off from snowshoeing. Can my answer be: sit by the fire with hot cocoa?
    2. Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat? Houseboat
    3. Go on a cruise to a bunch of islands or pick one island?  If the latter, which one? A bunch.
    4. Go to a comedy club or dance club? Comedy club
    5. Win the lottery or find your perfect job? Lottery
    6. Swim in a pool or the ocean? Pool. There are things in the ocean that kill people.
    7. Would you rather know everything or be amazing at any activity you tried? Be an amazing rider.
    8. Would you rather live a short life and be rich or have a long life and be poor? Long life.
    9. Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food? never be able to eat cold food
    10. Would you rather have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes granted 5 years from now? Hmmmm...I guess 3 in 5.

    @jenna8984 - It is. Probably the reason why some people find it offensive. H's dad and grandma hated it, but his mom thought it was the funniest thing ever. So I told him before we went in that this would be telling as to what kind of sense of humor he has in relation to his family.

    @beanbot2002 - That's what I'm worried about.  Which Britax did you get?  Crap, crap crap!  We got the B-Agile and it does look like a small basket.  I plan on getting a smaller diaper bag though.   

    @beachyone15 - Thank you.  I really do need to get back on it though.  I'm gaining weight rapidly, which I'm cool with if its for the baby but its really only in part because of baby but mostly because I'm eating crap and not working out.  ;)  I'm with you on being a know-it-all.  



    @MissKittyDanger - Raj is doing better, thanks for asking!  He's putting more and more weight on his injured leg and getting his stitches out on Monday next week!  I hope Angel is ok...keep us updated.

    @TwoDimes - No nephew yet?  Any signs?  I'm sorry you aren't feeling well.  Try to get some rest this weekend.

    @goldenpenguin -  OMG, I want an air popper!  We have so many kitchen gadgets H would freak if I bought another one though.  As to student loans, yeah, I feel you.  It was painful to pay those off but such a good feeling when they were paid.  How long do you think it will take?  Also, yeah for new tires!

    Good morning all!

    Well, my excitement from yesterday has faded. The girl I've been shadowing at her store was mistaken. Turns out I have to teach a full six week course with her from start to finish rather than just teach varied classes and behaviors. So I'm ALMOST done but I still have to teach five more classes. So that's a PITA. I can't teach until I finish and I can't earn any commission either so I am going to have to speak to my manager about that because I'm under pressure to sell classes and I am supposed to be earning commission on each sale. I'm hoping it'll be retro pay or something.

    @jenna8984 @goldenpenguin I HAVE TO HAVE THE OIL

    @minskat30 don't feel bad about working out, but just prepare yourself for all of the New Years Resolutioners after the holidays lol.


    Go skiing or snowshoeing?
    Skiing, snowshoeing sounds boring.

    Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat?
    Speed boat! I think I'd hate living on a boat lol.

    Go on a cruise to a bunch of islands or pick one island? If the latter, which one?
    I grew up on an island so I'd rather take a cruise.

    Go to a comedy club or dance club?
    Comedy club because people probably won't spill their drinks on me. Or my drink on me.

    Win the lottery or find your perfect job?
    Lotto for sure, then I could MAKE my perfect job.

    Swim in a pool or the ocean?
    Ocean

    Would you rather know everything or be amazing at any activity you tried?
    I'd rather know everything because if I was amazing at everything I'd probably get really really bored.

    Would you rather live a short life and be rich or have a long life and be poor?
    I've always been varying levels poor so I could keep doing that and be relatively happy. So long life!

    Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food?
    Never eat cold food. I hate cold food, even if that would exclude me from having ice cream :(

    Would you rather have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes granted 5 years from now?
    This one is hard. I think if I had one wish granted I'd wish for unlimited funds and then I could make all of my other wishes come true lol.

    @minskat30, you'll enjoy Star Wars and good luck with the mall!

    @jenna8984, enjoy dinner!
    ---
    First things first: Star Wars was freaking amazing, JJ Abrams didn't screw up the series, and I'm going to it in theaters again at least two more times.

    Tonight we actually don't have anything planned. I don't want to sit at home, so I might ask a friend if we can have a board game night.

    Tomorrow my family is going to my dad's aunt's place. We'll have lunch and dinner there and play pinochle all afternoon. It's what my dad's family does when they get together. I have photos of me playing pinochle at my wedding. I'm really looking forward to being with her.

    Sunday is for ... laundry? Housework? Football?

    And we finally put the flannel sheets and heated mattress pad on the bed and I'm never getting up again.
    ---
    Go skiing or snowshoeing? I'm really bad at both ... how about snowshoeing, that seems less likely to break me.
    Enjoy a houseboat or speed boat? Houseboat, but I couldn't tell you why.
    Go on a cruise to a bunch of islands or pick one island?  If the latter, which one? Cruise.
    Go to a comedy club or dance club? Comedy club.
    Win the lottery or find your perfect job? Find my perfect job, and let's up the ante and make it local.
    Swim in a pool or the ocean? Pool.
    Would you rather know everything or be amazing at any activity you tried? Know everything.
    Would you rather live a short life and be rich or have a long life and be poor? Oh that one's evil! I suppose the long life and be poor.
    Would you rather never be able to eat warm food or never be able to eat cold food? Never able to eat cold food.
    Would you rather have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes granted 5 years from now? This one's evil, too. I'm not good at delayed gratification, but I'm not sure what I'd wish for today. I suppose three wishes five years from now.

    @minskat30 I hope putting together the stroller is a simple task and not a 500-page-ikea-booklet-and-missing-parts task!

    @untouchablets - Ha!  I'm usually pretty patient with all the New Years resolution people.  At least they are trying, right?  I was one of them not too long ago myself.  I hope you get retro pay or something...that sounds like a major PITA!

    @wink0erin - I hope the stroller isn't impossible to put together either.  I hate putting crap together.  Thankfully, H is pretty good at it.  I think I'll just "supervise" and give him lots of encouraging "good job" comments.  ;)

    @KeptInStitches - You are making me even more excited for Star Wars now.  Also...heated mattress pad = divine.  I need one in my life.

Like he did the Leg Lamp from Christmas Story, and another year the flamingo and another year a fooseball player.

    @minskat30 Good luck at the mall! I'm going to try to finish my shopping tomorrow instead of stopping on the way home because traffic is crazy on Friday afternoons. Me and my H usually give each other a bunch of gifts but I'll only have 2 gifts for him this year but still went over budget. I know I shouldn't feel bad about it but I hope he didn't get me a lot to open. 

    @jenna8984 I don't do cold pizza either!

    @MsKittyDanger I hope Angel is OK!

    @TwoDimes Sitting on the couch eating pizza is pretty much my favorite activity. 

    @untouchablets I hope you get retro commission- that is annoying!


    I have nothing exciting going on this weekend. H is off today and tomorrow but he is going to concerts both nights so not sure how much I'll see him. I need to get his other gift tomorrow and something for my mom. I need to figure out something for my aunt too and then I'm kind of done shopping. I'm ordering wedding photos for my Gramma and I'll have to pick up frames for them too. She's visiting my parents for a couple weeks though so I have time do that. 

    I have not worked out this week like I was going to. I've been so lazy and then I thought, why start right before Christmas, wait until the New Year. I'm so miserable about the weight I've gained though. Wish I could just be skinny and eat whatever the hell I wanted to again!

    @minskat30 - I don't even know when my last payment is. Like, 2030 or something like that? I hate it. Also, get an air popper, it's the best kitchen gadget you will ever own. And they aren't that expensive! Totally worth it.

    @untouchablets - I have the Orville Redenbacher kind. It's DELICIOUS.

    @jenna8984 YES! Josh Sundquist? That guy is awesome! I'm normally not that creative/don't have enough time to do anything super crazy, but one year I was the girl from Grindhouse/Planet Terror with the gun leg. Taped a fake gun to my leg. And I pretty much never take offense, so you are good, haha.
