I am so far behind on threads. I was trying to be good for a while there, but I've fallen behind again (sigh).
This has been a great week for the family. DH found out that he won his disability case. This is such a relief! Four years of painful (physical and emotional) waiting. Now he can hopefully get the medical help he needs.
I got a promotion at work! Yippee!! The money isn't as good as I hoped, but I am still over the moon about it.
This weekend heading to a dance class with B. Shout out to wedding for telling me about it.
Hope all you ladies have a wonderful weekend. Celebrate v day hard, if that's your thing.
mwhipple77 What a pain. That's not even an "optional" piece of kitchen equipment...like, you could survive with no DW for a few days, but a sink is about as basic as it gets. I hope the plumber can fix it quickly for y'all. And hope you're feeling better soon!
B seems to be doing better; his fever has dropped to under 101 and he's eating and very active. Hopefully it will continue to drop. Thanks for all the good wishes!
Tim redeemed himself. Came to my work, switched cars, picked up Layla and then they brought me flowers. Now he is spending the rest of the day with her.
He will be getting a bj tonight.
shanbp I know it is not the actual day, but since it is on a Saturday he had originally told me that he would have flowers delivered on Friday at work. Then forgot.

I get so embarrassed if my husband sends me flowers to work! I'm not sure why... We really don't celebrate Valentine's day. We might get candy or something for each other, but that's it. It's kind of silly I think. I'M SO GLAD IT'S FRIDAY!
My dad always sends me flowers on Valentine's Day, with the sweetest cards that are so sappy they make me cry. I have the best dad ever. He's a saint.
Pete had planned a date at a new wine bar for tomorrow night, but since I'm sick we canceled our plans. We'll all just stay home convalescing.
Dude is so needy, which is understandable because of his cold and teething. He won't do anything without me in his line of sight, and is grabbing his toys and books then bringing them over to sit on my lap. He really is a sweetheart.
Guise, I just got a really good call about a part time opportunity at my old bank. I'm so excited! Meeting with the director next Wednesday. Woop! I've been dying for a part time job, but need benefits because I carry our insurance. I would also be protected by FMLA for maternity leave because I worked there within the last 5 years. Best of all worlds.
Oh, and Sinny hurt his leg. He did the same thing last year. It's really pitiful the way he yowls if he moves the wrong way. We gave him his transdermal pain meds so he is camped out on the couch overseeing Dude's destruction of the living room. He also alerted us to A's massive poopy diaper this morning.
I am pretty certain he got hurt jumping off of our bed. It's very high and we have pet stairs but he refuses to use them. We're going to look for a new bed this weekend that will be easier for him to get in and out of, I hope.
Aww, cagoldi I'm sorry you had to cancel your plans. Hope you feel better soon!
My and DH's first Valentine's Day together, I came down with strep so we had to cancel our plans. #2, he was in Bahrain and I was here. #3 Deployed #4 Deployed #5 My parents came out to KS for the weekend and stayed with B so DH and I could have a night out. Went to Ruths Chris...I was in incredible pain, we skipped dessert, and I had to get a portion of my dinner to-go.
So basically we have a piss-poor track record. DH has planned a great night out tomorrow and I'm really, really hoping it all works out!
Morning ladies! We have a 4 day weekend for the President's Day holiday so I'm stoked about that! L's 15 months today, so that makes Friday the 13th special 'round these parts. Also, I finally get to go to yoga this morning! I haven't been since L started the gym child care meltdowns like 8 months ago. I plan to take my sweet ass time there while L is with his dad for the morning.

tjhine if T isn't in the mood to snuggle today I am. I'm the best snuggler ever.
I had the most amazing sex dream with my EX. IRL our sex life was very passionate because we would always fight then make up. I have these dreams offen, it was that good. Update: his killer is still posting selfies on insta WTF why isn't she in jail yet?
Autumn is still sleeping! 8:45 this is a record.

The runner is currently making a scrapbook for his gf for V day. I told him that was a sweet idea and he said "yeah, I'm doing this so I don't have to spend a lot of money." I hope he doesn't tell her that....

Re on flowers: I hate them and I don't want to clean it up.. But DH gets me flowers every year and with a very proud look on his face. So I don't break his heart and let him think I'm excited and happy about it...

Start sneezing when he brings them to you. You'll be Scott free in a couple years.
ladystrat how was it? are you pleased? I have scary Frida Kahlo-esque brows (if I don't keep them tweezed) and I've contemplated threading but never pulled the trigger. I literally do plucking-maintenance every day.
tgrimes1980 so sorry about your friend. Situations like that are really hard. T&Ps to him/his family. Does your sister know you're coming, or is it a surprise? If she knows, I'm sure she's thrilled:)

Hugs tgrimes1980, so sorry about your friend... I'm sure YH will understand
ladystrat... did you not like the threading? I am a threading junkie! every 3 weeks I'm there! And my lady is out on vacation right now...There's a lot of growth on my forehead.
I was not going for the Frida Kahlo look on Valentine's day
My nephew is having his colonoscopy & endoscopy right now. FX they can diagnose him with these results. I'm pretty sure my sister is a nervous wreck right now.
Sending you lots of T&P's for your friend and nephew & sister.
Today has been kind of crazy but is slowing down now. Had to run a meeting in NJ and am now back in DE. Usually DH sends me flowers for Valentines Day at work but beginning last year I told him really not to. We can't have any kind of flowers at home because our cats will destroy them. So it's not worth it to spend all that money on flowers that I have to keep on the fridge or in the powder room with the door closed. I got him a card and I'm sure he'll pick me one up today. E's vday party at DC was yesterday so we did those Valentines already. Tomorrow I am going to go to DD and get us some of the cookie dough and brownie batter donuts as our Valentines treat. Then my inlaws are coming over and we will have dinner with them. DH did say that I will get a massage (my favorite!) and I'm sure there will be some sexytime if Aunt Flo acts right.

He won't ever buy it for himself so when I can get him something nice, I do! He runs a lot and wants to run a marathon this year. He can totally use them! pinkaliphant
I really should stay out of the kitchen. I decided to do that using a salt dough recipe I found on Pinterest. I am not crafty at all but this seemed simple enough. Well it wouldn't keep her handprint in it. The dough kept coming back up. I finally threw it away. As I was cleaning up my mess I realized what I did wrong........ I used SUGAR instead of salt. I felt like a dummy. I then decided to give it another whirl with the right ingredients and it worked.
Do you mind posting that recipe? I would love to do that for DH and MIL
untaggablekatie I doubt your H will notice your eyebrows when you are wearing your nipple-less bra.
tgrimes1980 your sister is going to be so thrilled to see you. I'm glad you're going to make it over there. Sorry you had to see your friend like that, and I hope his sisters get a little more time with him.
