Wednesday

Good morning! I've missed you guys and this place SO much! 

I was off for basically 2 weeks and spent the whole time mostly just staying home and relaxing with H while he recovered from his foot surgery (which went really well and he was also back to work yesterday!). 

A quick recap (with probably too many pictures)........... 


All 6 members of the Swazzle family resting after H's surgery:


I boozed and snuggled with the babies while watching multiple seasons of Downton Abbey which means I got completely caught up to the current episodes which I've watched on TV the past 2 weeks: 


There was a lot of lounging: 


And keeping warm: 


I spent a couple nights celebrating the best NHL goalie of all time with H and friends:


I chopped off my hairs and I'm in love with the cut and have managed to "curl" my own hair pretty well in under 15 minutes: 


I had to get multiple fillings because despite all of my efforts, I have the worst teeth in the history of the fucking world:


I spent Sunday Funday drinking apple cider mimosas which looked like poo water but tasted delicious and watched my Sunday night shows (TWD -- holy freaking shitballs!):


I popped into the daily thread yesterday very briefly but work was insane especially for a first day back and we have a new hire that I'm helping to train for when my coworker goes out on maternity leave in 1 week. Hopefully work doesn't keep me away today! 

What's new with everyone?
Did I miss anything fun/exciting/crazy? 
What's up with your Wednesday? 
What are you wearing today? I like my outfit even if I am wearing leggings as pants (my butt is covered, exactly 0 fucks are given). I'll share (yet another) pic when I head to the bathroom next.

    @Swazzle I LOVE ALL YOUR ANIMALS!!!! It looks like you had a nice couple weeks despite your cavities and your H's surgery. I'm glad to hear he is recovering well.

    Ugh Callie is in full teething mode. She has definitely been very irritable and I feel for her. I know that is not comfortable. Maddux also ate a bunch of sticks and threw up twice so we need to steam clean our carpet tonight and I threw our sheets in the wash since one of those barfing episodes was on our bed.

    Fun times.

    Tonight DH is working late so I plan to do some laundry and paint our ceiling where the leak was patched up. I'm making breakfast for dinner! Chocolate chip pancakes!!

    What's new with everyone? 
    We bought a car this week, it's a Honda Pilot! We are picking it up today and taking it to the shop to get a couple things fixed.
    Did I miss anything fun/exciting/crazy? 
    No lol. I got third place at my crossfit competition but that's about it.
    What's up with your Wednesday? 
    Get stuff done is what today is all about.
    What are you wearing today?
    I'm wearing a navy skirt from GAP and a white long sleeve shirt with a lace beige vest that goes over it and gray boots.

    Hey @swazzle! I love the picture of the whole family! Glad your time off was nice.

    What's new with everyone? 
    Not too much going on over here. Just gearing up for our new superintendent to start in two weeks and hopefully our whole work environment getting better!

    Did I miss anything fun/exciting/crazy? 
    I AWed the living room paint in yesterdays daily thread! Our new couch comes Friday and I am very excited about it!

    What's up with your Wednesday? 
    Really nothing much. Work is quiet with school vacation so I just need to pass the day. I'm close to talking BF into a vacation in September so I might plan out a fake vaca and crunch numbers to see if it's doable. 

    What are you wearing today? 
    A gray cable sweater over a teal tank and black pants. I realized after I left the house that it doesn't exactly match, but like you IDGAF. My office is cold so I need to be snuggly warm!

    @swazzle grr work IE still can't see most people's photos, none of yours. I'm glad you had a nice relaxing time and that your H's surgery went well and he's recovered!

    Put too much grapefruit juice in my smoothie this morning and it's so sour! Every time I sip, I feel like those videos of a baby eating a lemon, but I'm going to finish it anyways lol

    What's new with everyone? not much, work, growing belly, interviewing daycares
    Did I miss anything fun/exciting/crazy?  don't know if you caught the recap of my cousin's shitshow wedding in AZ, but in summary we sat in the cold, dark, with no food or drink for 2 hours and finally left and ate at fuckin burker king.
    What's up with your Wednesday? My friend's H is on a man trip so she's coming over tonight for our homemade sushi night.
    What are you wearing today? dark maternity jeans, new navy & white striped 3/4 sleeve shirt that I just bought at H&M last weekend.

    @caseface5 - Where are you thinking of going in September? 

    @jenna8984 - Uhhh that sounds terrible! What is wrong with people?! Have you made sushi before? I've always wanted to try to do it myself but I'm pretty sure I would not succeed.

    @Swazzle I want to go back to Disney  :# but I have to see if we can make it work with a separate trip to DC too. That's why I have to crunch.

    @swazzle Yea we make sushi but we cheat! We use this product which is amazing

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P8J1GU?keywords=sushezi&qid=1455717772&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

    It's a plastic tube and you pack each side with the rice and insides, then close it and it compresses it perfectly into a roll for you! Then you just set that onto the nori and roll it! I would have no idea how to do it with rice on the outside or with a rolling mat lol. I used to slice sashimi and set it on top of mine but I can't do that for a few more months, will have to stick with shrimp inside.


    Also WTF, I got a card in the mail saying to renew my driver's license online so I just went and filled out the whole thing, and then it says "print this and bring to the registry!". Like you fucking douche, why did you tell me it could be done online if it can't.

    @minskat30 we'll be near Austin, visiting his brother and FSIL. They're in on the secret and are super excited we're finally going to visit. -- Oh and you look super cute! Who care if the sweater is long, you look comfy!

    @speakeasy14 - I don't even know if I'll be able to watch PLL tonight because Survivor starts and H and I know one of the contestants on it so we'll be watching that at 8. I'm not sure how long it is though so maybe afterwards. :disappointed: Yay for secret trip! That's so cool! 

    @jenna8984 - That thing looks amazing! 

    @minskat30 - Thank you! H is feeling ok. His foot was pretty sore last night after working all day and then we had a Devils game. I'm going to make him rest tonight when he gets home. OMG Baby Ani! I absolutely love that and I'm so choked up thinking about how far along you are and that I get to see you SO soon! You. Are. Gorgeous.

    @speakeasy14 - Whooo hooo!  Anything near Austin = near fun.  ;)  I hope you guys have a great time.  Also, thank you.  I feel a little frumpy today but I am nice and warm so I don't care.  

    @swazzle - Dawwwww, thank you.  I cannot WAIT to see you soon and give you a giant hug with my humongous belly in the way.  ;)  Your H needs to take it easy though...poor guy.

    I survived snow-pocolypse! Lol
    Ended up with 50cm of snow - which is approx a foot and half - and it broke records! This morning's trek to work was not fun as sidewalks aren't plowed so I had to walk on the road.

    Today is just catch up work from yesterday and trying to get ahead of my vacation, and I know I'll be busy when I come back. Hoping I can stay at my normal office this Friday since I'll be away.


    What's new with everyone? 
    Other than crazy snow ... nothing
    Did I miss anything fun/exciting/crazy?
    Snow-pocolypse
    What's up with your Wednesday? 
    Zero. Getting nails done tonight and that's about it.
    What are you wearing today?
    Grey dress pants, beige tshirt and black and stripped blazer.

    @labro - I guess I haven't mentioned it!  It's standard in my field that early career scholars will publish their first book, usually based on their dissertations, within 2-3 years after completing the PhD.  It helps guarantee our jobs, establish us in our fields, and potentially help us get permanent positions if we don't have them immediately upon graduation (I do, so it's more of a "guaranteeing my job" situation for me.)  So, that's what I'm working on.  I try to do a little bit of work every week.  I do want to write a novel at some point, but that's probably years in the future!

    @beachyone15 Yes! She likes basically anything that she can chew on lol. We have been using the teething toys for now since she just started teething within the past week. If the pain gets to be worse then I might use those tablets that dissolve in their mouths and it helps numb the pain. I have teething gel but we will see what works best.

    At least with veneers or something you'll never need to go to the dentist again! Right? I legit feel special I got an entire post dedicated to ME! And YAYYY for your accountant cutting your tax bill in half! Fingers crossed mine can work the same magic today!

    @beachyone15 Actually...I wouldn't touch your 401k deductions. I know you want to cut back...but those are deducted from your tax burden at the end of the year and they'll help you owe less money....it sucks to do but I think it's better! Also, just tell the federal government thanks. It's this little thing called the married penalty where the DINKS get punished because we both work hard and federal government wants all us "ladies" to stay at home and eat bon bons or something.

    @futuremrshistorian Lol I was seriously on the track that this was a fictional book! Good luck with this! I do hope you get to write a fun fiction some day!

    @labro - CROSSING ALL THE THINGS. 

    @minskat30 - Have you ever watched Weeds? That's the intro song and every time I hear it that's all I think of. 

    @labro @beachyone15 - When you guys filled out your W4 did you list yourself as married? Apparently that's what fucked us up. H and I both resubmitted our federal and state W4s yesterday and each put "Married, but withhold at higher single rate" or "Single" if that wasn't an option. Our accountant said doing that will mean that we'll most likely get a refund next year or at the very least, we won't owe anything.

    @swazzle - YES! Make that thread happen!
    @labro - That's a good point. We were trying to cut back without "feeling it" as much, but it sounds like we'll feel it later anyway so that sucks. I have honestly never had to owe before I got married. I told H we need to have a few kids ;)
