manybellsdown, that is a ridiculous level of dictating from the 'host'. I'd make my contribution whichever way I thought best and if she complained who cares.
I am surviving the in laws. It is with out too many full melt down from me and not the toddler. I need to proof my paper today and study a bit more. But it is -10 out so going outside isn't going to happen for a bit.
Happy New Year! It's the year our babies will be born!
Well this just made me cry!
I was trying to tell my husband how big this year is!! Babies, graduating with my masters, getting a job again, most likely buying a new house. I was thankful he had some beer in him!

I'm on call and I'm super-annoyed because I got called in to do a menial task because my colleagues didn't have their act together to get it done before the holiday weekend. I have to spend 2+ hours of commuting time to and from the hospital just to do something that will only take 10 min. I'm really annoyed.

I went to bed at nine because I was at the airport at 6 this morning on route to Hawaii. Dh is going for work so I'm tagging along and ds is with my parents. My first trip away from ds for more than 2 days. I'm excited and sad all at the same time. Aloha 2016!

What island? I absolutely love Hawaii and have been a few times. Enjoy yourself!
mladerri, Hawaii sounds amazing right now, enjoy the relaxation and the weather!
DH and I were actually up until 11:45 binge watching the first series of Fargo. Went to bed promptly after that, did not care that there were only 15 min left until ringing in the new year. The best thing I ate last night was chocolate pudding with freshly made whipped cream.
bighair12 me too!! It's been like 5 years since I last visited. We're going to Oahu because they compete against university of Hawaii. I will have a virgin frozen drink for you all or maybe some fresh squeezed pineapple juice.
I did not end 2015 so well. Last night at our friends house I fell down the stairs. Really hurt my bum ( and my pride). Today I am dealing with a lot of pain in my left leg. There is a huge lump/bruise. Good thing I've got some padding.
shoogars, I hope your leg heals quickly. On the bright side, it sounds like you fell in a manner that protected the baby.
mladerri have fun in Hawaii! It's one of the places I dream of visiting one day. What a way to start 2016!
frecklesnbrains, I hate when the laziness and/or thoughtlessness of others inconveniences me. Sorry you had to go into work unnecessarily.
I went to dinner with DH last night. We wanted to do something to commemorate our last NYE as a solo couple. It was a 6pm dinner at my favorite French Restaurant. The restaurant only had two seatings last night, the first from 6-9pm and the second from 9-midnight. It was 3 hours of deliciousness. The food was so good that I barely missed the wine. I drank a Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Syrah Grape Juice that was gifted to my for Christmas. Afterward we came home and watched TV until the ball dropped at midnight. I was asleep by 12:05.
Now DH is in the kitchen preparing the traditional New Year's dinner: black eyed peas and collard greens to bring good luck in the new year.
The fire works being set off in my neighborhood went from midnight until almost 3 AM. I just want to know where these people get the money to set off fireworks for almost 3 hours?? Luckily DS and my dog were not bothered at all. Happy New Year!!
This happened with our next store neighbor only thankfully not as long. We already are not fans of them because they have no respect for their neighbors as far as noise goes at all hours of the night so I was not happy! My dog is terrified but thankfully DD never woke up!

bgkc4 We do black eyed peas and collard greens for New Years every year too! Except I was stuck working too late tonight to make them, so we're going to have to do them Jan 2nd instead this year.
I have cooked more in the last 2 days than I have in the last 2 months. Haha. I made sauerkraut and kielbasa for New Years for good luck. Not something I make more than once a year but it was really good. I'm impressed with myself . Thank goodness I'm feeling better and getting energy back to be a normal human.
Nausea struck me terribly today. I've been off Diclegis for a few days now....but it didn't affect me until today. Back to Diclegis it is.
I feel your pain sister.
I ran out of Zofran on Thursday. I have been feeling great so I didn't call the doctor for a prescription. I have thrown up 5 times since yesterday. Sigh. Guess I will be asking for that on Wednesday. EIGHTEEN WEEKS ON MONDAY- WHEN WILL THIS STOP?!?

DH and I went on a date afternoon/evening yesterday and it was so nice. DS was with my parents and we knew he would be just fine and not drive anyone crazy (my ILs can't do more than an hour and then they freak out because he's getting into trouble).
DS and I watched Polar Express last night. It was a really good movie! He fell asleep about 30 minutes into the movie, and then slept in until 6:45!!! He has not woken up that late in months! I feel amazing now and so much more refreshed than I usually do when I wake up.

Good morning and happy Sunday everyone! H and I watched Star Wars last night and it was awesome. I was not disappointed at all. Then we went out for Mexican food and I had to watch my H drink margaritas and felt sorry for myself. Oh, how I miss margaritas...
We are back from vacation. While we are gone DH had people do work in our basement and had a big closet built and bench storage seating along one wall. It was such a nice surprise to come home to and gives us so much more storage in the basement for my baking stuff and all of the toys that are on the horizon. Now I'm taking down Christmas stuff before I go get my dog. I can't wait to see his little face!

I had steak fajitas. They were -almost- good enough to make up for the lack of margarita, but not quite. I wish I lived in a better city for Mexican food though. I'm really craving the tacos I had in Dallas last month.
