We did. She's 6 years older than me and is like my second mom since our mom passed away about 20 years ago. We talked a bunch about TTCing because she will be starting in about a month. I'm excited for her. She's going to be a great mom.
Yesterday I went to Bed Bath & Beyond and got a Dyson vacuum! I'm so pumped. Between the sale that was on, talking the store manager down another $20, and using all the gift cards that I'd been hoarding from our wedding, it didn't cost too much out of pocket.
Funny how what excites you when you're a kid compared to what excites you when you're an adult is so drastically different.
That would've excited my sister more as a kid than as an adult. She loved cleaning. The little weirdo
Currently waiting for my mom to drop S off after his weekend of sleepovers, then I think were going to go to a park or something. And later we're going for dinner at my mom's. I'm finally starting to feel more normal after stopping my pills, minus my emotions being so out of whack that I POAS just to be sure it was just because of the change in medication.
I have not heard of this Tuscan Chicken salad from McD's!!! I'm gonna have to investigate further...
This menu item is just a Canadian thing, apparently. Boo.
So sad! It is nice to have an alternative a that place.
330 calories with 25g of protein is pretty nice.
I just checked out the American salads. they were a little sad in comparison. The grilled chicken in the US version has more sodium than this entire salad! 400mg for a Tuscan salad vs 550mg for one grilled chicken breast!
I may go down a rabbit hole of comparing nutritional content of McD's food across boarders...

I just avoid McD's altogether. There is one right by our house so your Tuscan Chicken Salad gave me hope! But, no. Our McD's salads are a joke.

I got the 2nd coat of paint done in our bedroom. The trim needs to be done then I can cross that off my to-do list. The list of things to do before we even call a realtor feels never ending.

We were supposed to have a lazy Sunday but ended up raking the entire yard. SO has been out here since 9am and I started at 12ish. It's 4:30. We did take a break for lunch. I am so sore and tired and sweaty. About to go in to shower and make some meatloaf!
Definitely opening that bottle of wine I got yesterday for the GoT episode tonight. I think I've earned it!
Hi y'all! Lazy Sunday here too. I got up and ran in the morning and did my weekly schedule in my planner, took DD to church, and did groceries. DH is out playing golf all day and did the yard work as well. I'm so thankful to be spared of that task, especially in this heat! teraiin, do y'all carpool to work? I think 3 days weekends are better anyway. @underdog25, DH just went to Home Depot yesterday and bought a whole bunch of cleaning supplies which made my little SAHM heart very happy lol onesweetworld, uh oh! Do you have to get them removed?
I'm probably going to make something easy for dinner like soup and salad and grill a turkey burger pattie on my George Foreman. Apparently DH already ate a huge burger after golf and won't be eating at home.
FIL is visiting this weekend and helping with some projects around the house since DH is not too handy. I really appreciate the help and I love my FIL, but he is definitely not a perfectionist like me so most things he helps with are "good enough" and rushed through. I'm trying to stay positive and not worry about the little details and just be thankful for the help. They're working on putting in some new drywall now... I kinda wish we had just hired a contractor for this project but it's too late now!
I'm just keeping an eye on the dogs and will make dinner soon. Wish we could watch GoT but we'll probably have to wait until FIL leaves tomorrow...

I went to a whiskey tasting party this afternoon. Everyone brought a bottle in a paper bag and there was a very intricate system for blinding the bottles. Everyone ended up hating what turned out to be the most expensive bourbon. And the one I marked as my favorite turned out to be... Jim Beam. So I've got that going for me.
Now I'm hearing things like "it's not my fault, the walls just aren't straight!" ...
Can you have a contractor come in and redo it anyway?
Probably. The project is putting up a new backsplash in the kitchen. The complicating factor is that the former homeowners were overzealous in putting up the (ugly) old tile and it's proved to be impossible to just chip the old tiles off the wall, without chipping off big chunks of the drywall too. So now FIL and DH are cutting out the drywall with the ugly tile attached and then putting up new drywall in it's place. Then we'll eventually put up the new tile on that.
At this point, I'm already planning to just hire someone to put the new tile in, because I know that the surface of the new drywall is not going to be very flat (due to our "not straight" walls...). I know how to install tile but I'm definitely not an expert and would rather leave that part to a professional!

I would say leave it to the professionals, H did our new backsplash including the removal of old tiles. H complains about his own work all the time. I think he did a great job but H always moans about it. At least you have a contractor coming in for the tiling and can fix any issue from the drywall install today.
I think they're about ready to quit and leave the rest to professionals... They managed to remove about 1/3 of the tile/wall and re-drywall that section. It's just taking forever and they don't really know what they are doing. I'm relieved.
At this point I wish we hadn't started this project at all, but once we had chipped off like 5 of the old tiles, we couldn't really stop and put them back up on the wall!
We're hanging at FIL's house. Had to drop the dogs with them since our flight tomorrow is early and we wouldn't have time to do it tomorrow. H and FIL are playing with the stereo gear and I'm watching Casino Royale with SMIL.
Since it's almost 5 I assume we will get dinner at some point. Still need to pack and do a load of dishes before we leave tomorrow.
I try to limit McDs to just the basic cheeseburger and a soda. Still not healthy, but a better option when I need fast food.

I just ate a Reese's McFlurry and part of H's Oreo one. #noshameinmygame
