was two special birthdays! Happy Birthday to my friend Steph over in London and happy birthday to one of my favorite people, Barb!

was researching houses with Dan and all the excitement that brings.

January 22, 2009

The best thing about today...

was having some time at the end of the day to get a bunch of work done. It's a very busy time of the year, so it definitely helped to catch up.

was catching up on shows that have been sitting on the DVR. I watched the Lost season finale from last season to catch myself up, but now I have to watch this season premiere before a new episode aires on Wednesday!

The best thing about today...

was the meeting that went much better than expected. It was a relief that all my stresses were for nothing. Everything is A-O-K!

was dressing up a bit today. It made me feel more professional and I received some compliments too. I can clean up nice!

was playing vball tonite. Our team isn't doing that great (meaning we can't really seem to win unless the other team forfeits) but we had a good night tonight and we won one of the games. We all played really well.

was the smell of funfetti cake that drifted through the apartment tonite. It's not for me...it's for work (which is a good thing, because I got weighed at the dr. yesterday and I shouldn't really eat anything for a while!). There's nothing better than the smell of a cake baking in the oven.

January 20, 2009

The best thing about today...

was working a half day. It was a nice change of pace during this hectic week.

was that I got a clean bill of health from the doctor today. That is good news!

was looking at more houses. It wasn't so much the houses that were enjoyable, it was chatting with our realtor. He is a very chatty and friendly man and I'm glad we're working with him. I'm also glad that his blood pressure is down and the doctor is happy.

January 19, 2009

The best thing about today...

was getting to look at two houses after work. I liked both of them, despite how different they were from one another....and now I'm getting anxious to move!

was the yummy dinner of pork chops and mashed potatoes and brocolli. It was delicious!

was getting to chat with Bettina on the phone and Ben on the computer.

January 18, 2009

The best thing about today...

was going to church with Dan. I'm sure next time we'll sit more towards the front, because kids are very noisy in the back.

was cuddling on the couch with my doggies. I let them up on the couch and we snuggled for a while. I miss my cuddle time with them!

was looking at a house. Even though it's not one we really liked, it's still fun to get out and look! We should have more appointments this week.

The best thing about today...

was the continuation of girls night into girls day. We had pancakes for breakfast, cuddled in Mel's bed and then ate our way through a bridal show.

The best thing about today...

was sleeping in. I didn't have to go to work again so I used my time wisely and slept!

was a girls night at hotel 212. This was our last sleepover at hotel 212 so we made it special with swedish fish, duct tape costumes, fuzzy blankets, and lots of laughs!

was realizing how many different colors of duct tape there is!

January 15, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that it was my sisters birthday! We chatted on the phone for a bit (with baby noises in the background!) and caught up on things. We need to chat more often. She is a GREAT person to talk to!

was that I didn't have to go to work today. I sat in my jammies until about 4pm. It was wonderful being a bum all day.

was watching Grey's Anatomy with my hubby.

was talking with my mom. She's the best mom ever!!

January 14, 2009

The best thing about today...

was wearing a very comfy and warm fleece. It also hid my love handles which was an extra bonus!

was the amount of time I had to work on paperwork today. There are lots of meeting coming up, so it was good to get something accomplished ahead of time.

was the packages that arrived at school today after being ordered only 2 days ago. Wow, that's fast delivery!

was the phone call that told me that I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I danced around the apartment for a little bit.

January 13, 2009

The best thing about today...

was visiting the Door Peninsula winery, tasting lots of yummy wine, and buying lots of goodies.

was laughing on the drive back home.

January 10, 2009

The best thing about today...

was our adventures in Door C0unty!

was the yummy breakfast that arrived at our door. Strawberries, orange juice and stuffed french toast!

was visiting the Maritime Museum which had lots of things to do and touch!

was walking around downtown Sturgeon Bay, even though it was a tad bit chilly out!

was going out to a fancy dinner, then bumming around Walmart, and then sitting in the giant whirlpool tub.

was being with my hubby!

January 9, 2008

The best thing about today...

was that we made it through the day. We were short staffed and it was a very busy day!

was that "Margarita" (our GPS system) got us safely to Door County.

was the fireplace that warmed our suite.

January 8, 2008

The best thing about today...

was that it was a much better day than yesterday!

was that a co-worker was back after being gone for a few days. It makes a difference when someone is gone, so it's good to have everyone back!

was that the hubby and I were approved for a home loan at the bank! After worrying and stressing, it turns out that we will be able to buy a house! It makes us very excited to think about all the adventures that lie ahead! This was so exciting that I ended each sentence with an exclamation point!

was/is that we only have one more sleep before our mini-getaway to Door County!!!!!!!!

January 7, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that it's over. I ended the day curled up in bed, talking to my wonderful husband and wondering why it was such a bad day and how to never get that crabby again. I was so crabby that I gave myself a time out in my room because if I did one more thing or one more thing happened, I might explode! Let's hope that tomorrow is a better day!

January 6, 2009

The best thing about today...

was the GIANT cinnamon roll I received as a gift. It's bigger than my head and smells delicious!

was learning that I get a discounted membership at the YMCA through work. I'm super excited because it'll be way cheaper then what I currently pay and there's one right down the road from work and from home.

was the laughter that echoed throughout my room at work.

January 5, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that my breadstick bud turned 30 today (Happy Birthday, Megs)! I'm so happy that we've reconnected and been able to spend some time together. She's as great a friend now as she was 11+ years ago.

was that my stomach didn't start growling until 3:45pm. Since all I did was eat over break, I assumed I would be starving all day. That was a nice surprise.

was that I wore my elastic pants to work. Until I lose a little of the muffin top I've developed over the past 6 months, I'm not comfortable in pants that button. So, it's stretchy waist bands for now!

was that the marker that was drawn down the leg of my pants is washable and I won't need to throw out my pants. This is another reason why I can't have nice things.

was coming home to get a hug from my hubby. We spent a lot of time together over break and it was hard saying goodbye this morning. Coming home this afternoon was that much more exciting, knowing I would get to see him!

January 4, 2009

The best thing about today...

was going to church. I'm mad at myself for not being a regular church-goer lately, so I hope to get to church as much as I can.

was putting on a big pair of fleece pants.

was getting a kiss on the forehead from my hubby.

January 3, 2009

The best thing about today...

was celebrating Christmas with the cousins. There were lots of kids, lots of food, lots of laughs and lots of hugs. I love my family!!

was realizing that I don't like to cook under pressure. I love to spend time in the kitchen cooking/baking, but I do much better when I'm not under a time crunch. If I'm rushed, then there ends up being sweet potatoes on the wall, cheese on the floor, and pizza dough in the garbage. It's better if I can take my time.

Friday, January 2, 2009

January 2, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that I was able to spend time with my family as we said good-bye to my grandfather (who passed away on Dec. 29).

was realizing how incredibly amazing my father is and how I couldn't be any luckier to call him "dad".

was FINALLY getting home after the funeral and lots of errands and being able to relax!

Thursday, January 1, 2009

January 1, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that I was able to kiss my husband at midnight. Yes, I said "husband", not boyfriend, not fiancee, but "husband". I love being married to Dan and I love that I can call him my husband.

was that we (Dan and I) continued our tradition of going to George Webb's on New Years Day. We get up, shower, go to eat at Webb's, then come home and put our jammies back on.

was that I found the idea of this blog from my bff, Mel. It's a great idea and I hope it continues to catch on!
