Wake up randoms

[icedtea]

It's Monday!

And, apparently, National Tooth Fairy Day. Also Pecan Torte Day. I want to know who gets paid to create these days. 

[badwolf]

It's crunch time at work, we leave for our conference early Friday morning and DH and I plan to bounce around the Wisconsin/Minnesota/North Dakota area for family visits after the conference ends, which I'm looking forward to.

I'm using one of H's old cell phones since mine crashed and burned last week. It sucks because it's not compatible with tapatalk and I'm only on a computer for a short amount each day. I haz a sadz. We do have insurance on my phone, but we aren't sure if we want to spend $100-200 on getting it replaced. Boo.

[wannabmama]

I don't even know what a pecan torte is.

I am so crazy tired today. My whole body hurts and I just want to go back to sleep.

[icedtea]

BabyStandish , that sucks. How long before you give into the new phone?

wannabmama , sorry you're feeling crappy. Can you nap? Apparently this is pecan torte (I didn't know either):

[icedtea]

badwolf, that sounds fun! How long will you be traveling?

[wannabmama]

icedtea hm, I think I'll pass on the torte, ha.

I am waiting for a new project from my contract job and since I am tired and useless at the creative things I need to do for marketing my firm, which is what I am supposed to do when I don't have paying work lined up...I think I'll take the dogs on a walk and see if I can stretch out my body some and maybe shake out the cobwebs. And if that doesn't work...I'll nap. I wish we had a chaise chair for the backyard, ours broke, because it would be a great day to sleep in a shady spot in the yard. Perfect temp!

[icedtea]

wannabmama there's apparently a chocolate version that looks interesting. But otherwise I agree.

A walk sounds nice. I'm glad you're finally getting some better weather up there. Will it be nice all day?

[doodler]

I would eat pecan torte.

Yes...chocolate does up the ante

I think it should be nicer this week than it has been...it rained like crazy last night and cooled things off. We don't have more rain for awhile (we really need it) but all week the high is only like 80 and the temps at night are way cooler, which is really appreciated!

[icedtea]

Yes! Apple picking. And then I can make apple pie. That only I will eat. Sigh.

I want to go apple picking soon.🍎🍏🍎🍏

I'm starting to get excited for Fall.  We had some big storms last night that cooled down the weather this morning.  It def felt more fall-ish.

6 days for the conference itself and an additional 3 for just fun with DH.

[akraus2015]

The weather is absolutely beautiful here today. Wish I wasn't stuck in the office all day!!

[diamondsndaisies]

Morning all! It is DD's first day of 1st grade today. She was so excited and had all of her clothes picked out last night before bed and we did her hair this morning (that never happens). I am glad she is going back because it gives her the structure she has been needing.

[kayladawn91]

Good morning GKU! I need to go grocery shopping today and get my house clean. I did nothing productive over the weekend.

[diamondsndaisies]

We have a tradition, we always make her sing "back to school" from Billy Madison. Its amazing.

[rooskie]

I left my phone at home.

I have my iPad which is on LTE but I'm seriously feeling naked without it.

False.

I will be at your house that weekend, begging for scraps.

Ugh just crampy today and waiting to bleed. Sorry if this is TMI but ever since I stopped hormonal birth control I spot before my period and it's just enough to ruin my underwear but not enough for a tampon. Just get out of me already and stop teasing.

Aside from that, no plans today. Maybe we'll do some light grocery shopping tonight or take the dogs for a walk.

H doesn't eat pie (he hates "soggy fruit") so there will be much more than scraps available!

That sounds like an excellent weekend. 

[bex15]

Good Morning! I slept great for once and am feeling very productive today.

[ironbaby]

I have woken up at 5:30am 3 out of the past 4 days.

One day I will sleep.

Where in Wisconsin?

[butlerfan]

I fell on Saturday down the steps and my butt is sore (and I think I jarred my back so that is stiff as well) and I have a massive bruise that is all sorts of pretty colors.

So wear a pantyliner?      (also sorry for impending AF)
