Friday it's Friday!!
Good morning my lovely Ney-ers! I lurked a bit yesterday but didn't find a whole lot of time to post. Yesterday was an interesting day to say the least.
I woke up not feeling all that great just from being stressed and lack of sleep so I was just icky the whole day. Callie had been doing this weird wheezing basically since she was born but I never worried about it because it didn't happen all that often. Well this past month it has been happening multiple times a day and I took her to the pedi yesterday and they said she has what's called Laryngomalacia which is non threatening thankfully. It just means her cartilage in her throat is underdeveloped and can collapse when she breathes. Apparently she will grow out of it but it might be a while. I'm just glad it isn't anything serious.
Besides that we had noms Chicken Posole soup and did CrossFit! It was a good night at least.
Today I need to pick up some ingredients for this weekend and probably CrossFit tonight.
Tomorrow Callie girl will be 8 months old! I can't believe how fast she is growing! We have swim lessons and then maybe a day at the park if it's nice out or I might make homemade finger paint lol. It's totally edible so it would be hilarious to see her play with it.
Sunday we are going to a Memorial Day party at the lake. I'm making snickers dip and will spend the day there.
Monday is Memorial Day so we will do our annual Murph workout at CrossFit. This is our third year doing it and I plan to try to beat my original record since last year I did it the half Murph because I was 5 months pregnant. I plan to make a big dinner and make Crab Cakes and roasted tomatoes. And I want to make a patriotic fruit trifle for dessert!
What are your plans for this long weekend?

Re: Friday it's Friday!!
@southernpeach89 aaw glad her throat thing is not a huge deal and she will outgrow it! Your weekend sounds so fun. I wish I knew someone having a BBQ.
I have no plans!!!!! H normally has to work the Saturdays of long weekends but he used a vacation day tomorrow so we actually get 3 days together! I want to maybe go swimming at some lake or something...don't know anyone who lives on one so it would have to be a public beach. So we'll see. I might make him go to some pretty state park and take a few pictures of me since every belly pic I have is a bathroom selfie. I'd like a few normal, pretty ones lol.
Last night was so fun at the retirement party. After that I went home, watched a movie and then crashed. Tonight I think will be laid back too.
Tomorrow I am thinking of surprising BF. His birthday is Tuesday and Phantom Gourmet is having their BBQ this weekend so I might get him into the car and just drive him there. We've been before and it's tons of fun.
Sunday we are going out with his mom for his bday dinner, and I think we will go see X-Men. We might have a fire too with some friends.
Monday will be cleaning and the usual weekend chores. My cousin might be opening the pool this weekend so if it's nice we might go over there too. I love three day weekends!! Now I just need 4pm to get here!!
Soooo I got a call from H yesterday afternoon at work and he was like "one of the plants is gone!" and I was like "ha-ha, very funny." Well... something ate my friggin orange pepper plant! I thought it was hysterical like here I am, thinking I'm going to have this luscious garden with tons of veggies on my first try at gardening and in less than 24 hours, one of my plants disappears. I had tears streaming down my face, I was laughing so hard. What are ya gonna do!
H and I went out for sushi last night and then ended up not going to see X-Men because it started so late and I haven't slept all week. I was in bed and asleep early and FINALLY got a good night's rest.
I don't have a whole lot going on this weekend and I'm soooo happy about it! Tonight I'm grilling up steaks and corn for dinner. Tomorrow H and I might be going to the New York Red Bulls (soccer) game. And we're going to see X-Men on Monday night. Other than that, no plans! I'd really like to get to the beach at least one of the days, though.
*********
@southernpeach89 - Oh no, poor Callie! I'm so glad it's nothing serious, though!
@jenna8984 - My H also usually works Saturdays but has tomorrow off! So excited to get 3 days with him!
@LizzyTish88 - Sounds like an awesome weekend!
@swazzle I wonder what ate it? That's hysterical!
@lizzytish88 Aw I bet that would be so much fun! You should definitely surprise him!
@Swazzle OH NO! I hate it when the animals get to your plants! My mom has done all the things to keep that from happening. She covers them so the deer and rabbits can't get to them. I'm so sorry, I hope you have more growing still.
@lizzytish88 glad you had fun last night. oooo phantom gourmet bbq sounds amazing!
@swazzle ; hahaha omg what a little son of a bitch that animal is! Couldn't even wait a whole day!
@southernpeach89 ;So far we don't have any planned with an actual photographer. H figured we'd save the money and snap a few with his Nikon. I also enlisted my bff to snap a few of us at the restaurant where we got married, kind of mimicking the few wedding pics we have. And then we'll treat her to lunch there. Don't know when this is happening though lol.
Oh yea, my best friend told me yesterday that she's getting weight loss surgery in 3 months. I am so, so excited for her. It's such a big decision and drastic life change, I'm really looking forward to seeing her progress to where she wants to be for her future!
Still here and still fabulous!
@southernpeach89 - How do you make edible finger paint? That sounds awesome for adults AND kids. Poor Callie though and poor you. I hope you both have a relaxing weekend.
@jeann8984 - Yeah for normal belly pics! All mine are bathroom selfies too I feel.
@lizzytish88 - Happy early birthday to your BF! Also, let me know how X-Men is...I might see it next week if it is any good.
@swazzle - Ha! Was it a bunny? They are industrious little critters to get at plants. I lost my herbs last year when I first planted them to bunnies. Also, ditto on the x-men comment to @lizzytish88 - let me know what you think of it when you see it.
---------------------------------
Yesterday was long. About 12 hours or so at work. My deal that was supposed to close Wednesday has dragged into today already. I'm hoping it closes today but I have a feeling if it does it won't close until late late today. Here is hoping I can get out during lunch at least and get some sunshine. This weekend is my hair appointment though and H and I are going to a nice fancy tapas place too.
Also, felt some really weird Ani movements last night. I've got everything crossed that she is engaging because that is sure as hell what it felt like. Will find out next week Wednesday at my 39 week appointment...go Ani, go!!!
@minskat30 Most of the recipes I've come across are made with Corn starch and food coloring mixed with water but I know there are other recipes. My biggest concern if having Callie stained with a bunch of colors lol so I want to see if I can find a non staining one haha.
I know .... time is flying! Ani's going to be all grown up and ready to come out before you know it.
@jenna8984 yay swimming
@LizzyTish88 what's Phantom Gourmet? I hope the surprise works
@swazzle LMFAO! That happened to my mum! She grew a hot pepper for Matt and in the morning she saw it and was going to pick it after work, then it was gone!
Not much last night. Groceries and picked up boxes from mum's work. Just puttered around and sat on balcony chit-chatting about different things that we may need to do for house. We've decided kitchen will get painted before the winter.
Also the Charmed Aroma soap that I ordered my mum came in! I'm curious what the rings are. I got her the grapefruit one and got myself the mango lemongrass one. Not like I need soap ....
Just as I was going to bed I had a big of a sad moment because this is another milestone that my dad isn't around for. It's one of those things that'll happen every so often. Penny doesn't know what to do when I'm crying, so she stood at the door staring at me. Then she crept into the bedroom and meercat'd to see me on the bed.
After a bit, I went to sit out in the living room. Matt knows when I'm not okay and just as I was explaining to him again, I started crying again. So we just lay on the couch for a bit and I crashed.
Today it's suppose to be stupid hot/humid, and not looking forward to it. We're foregoing the a/c this year because that's an extra $100 that we don't wanna pay but I think we'll end up regretting it heavily. *sigh*
Warm all weekend .... no huge plans this weekend, except to start packing knick-knacks around the place that aren't fragile.
I feel awesome today (mostly because my jeans are feeling better) - Yay!
Tonight is date night so H and I are going to a wine bar and I'm having all the wine and pizza.
Saturday I'm getting a haircut, going to the gym, and we are going to my BFF's house for a bbq. Should be fun!
Sunday is H's grandpa's birthday which will be at his parent's house, fully catered. (Side note, how the hell am I supposed to stay on track this weekend with all the delicious food?!) Then I am going to a friend's jewelry party.
Monday I just want to have a relaxing day and grill with H.
Hope everyone has a fun and relaxing long weekend!
@southernpeach89 - Wow, I can't believe she's already 8 months. Seems like just yesterday that you had her! I hope you blow your old record out of the water! Now, tell me more about this trifle...
@jenna8984 - Some outdoor pics would be really nice! Would you dress up or keep it casual?
@LizzyTish88 - Looking forward to seeing X-Men. You'll have to let me know what you think!
@swazzle - Like, it was gone completely?? I wonder what came along and ate it!
@cu97tiger - That's frustrating. I hope you are able to really enjoy this weekend with no work interferences!
@minskat30 - I was totally thinking that Ani somehow knows that you are getting ready by getting your hair done and stuff, that she wants to get ready with mama too!!!
@MissKittyDanger - I'm sorry.

@cu97tiger 90 minute calls at home?! Oh hell no! My boss knows I barely even answer my phone when I'm AT work lol. Hope you have a relaxing weekend and feel better.
@minskat30 aaaaaah I'm so excited for you, it could literally be any day!
@beachyone15 oooh your grandpa's party sounds fun! I will probably keep it pretty casual, sundress or maxi skirt. I haven't bought any "dressy" maternity clothes since I have no weddings or anything this summer.
@misskittydanger I'm sure your dad is looking down very proud of you!
@southernpeach89 You must have been freaking out this week for Callie! I'm glad it's really NBD. Also YAY SNICKERS DIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Swazzle I bet a bird took your plant and that really sucks.
@jenna8984 Yay for a 3 day weekend with your H! AW those belly photos on Tuesday!
@cu97tiger Big big hugs!!
I think H and I will spend most of this weekend working on projects. We're calling a tree company today to see if they'll deliver us a load of free mulch so we can finally do the front garden island. It's not the most beautiful mulch in the world but it will work...and I personally just don't feel like spending $600+ on mulch right either. Hopefully we'll also be able to take the pick-up to the hardware store and buy all the landscaping stone we need to make a short retention wall. I'm so tired of our front yard looking like poop.
Sunday is the big bbq. I'm making a healthy dip to serve as a balance to @southernpeach89 's dip. It's just a blend of Greek yogurt, a little sour cream, and ranch seasoning mixed in with veggies for dipping. It tastes SOOO good and it's so cool and refreshing and virtually guilt free! Hopefully it will make up a tiny bit for all the alcohol I plan to consume....
No special plans for Monday other than taking some time for reflection on Memorial Day but @southernpeach89 has me inspired to make something special for dinner too.
