I worked last night so of course everyone woke up insanely early in my house. I do occasionally have some wine with dinner when I'm KU, but last night we were experiment making red drinks for a heart health event. Could not touch cherry martinis. I don't think I've ever felt that sad watching other people drink. Who doesn't want to drink at work?
I'm excited that it's finally looking like it's going to warm up!! You mean I can leave the house without putting 35 layers on my kid!?! This weekend can't get here fast enough.

It's going to be 50 degrees here tomorrow! It's been, like four degrees, for days. Ok, sometimes it's been in the low twenties.
Last night I really wanted a beer and we had one in the fridge. Then I remembered I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc last week. I am ok with occasional drinking but I was thinking weekly drinking sounded like too much. So sad.
Yesterday I got $100 from my mom in a valentine. I have been on a spending freeze and I went out immediately and got storage bins for the built in shelves for the baby. I was so excited about storage!
Its supposed to be almost 60 by me on Saturday... then they say there's the potential for another big winter storm on Tuesday next week. I swear... if my anatomy scan gets cancelled again I'm going to be PISSED! I'm considering calling and trying to reschedule ahead of time... is that crazy?

Cherry martinis... ::drools:: Yum. Drinking at work does sound quite lovely, too! I had a sip of my mom's hard caramel apple cider yesterday. I could have chugged the whole thing, it was so good.
Today is supposed to be nice here too, mid-40s, I think. I have my space heater on this morning though. My office faces the north side of the building and is on an outside wall. It seems to get the worst of the wind overnight, so sitting on my chair in the AM is like sitting on an ice cube.
There's a high of 83* today! I sent DD to school bare legged in a skirt. It's supposed to be upper 80s this weekend. IN FEBRUARY. If it's this hot already, I'm completely fucked for July.

Same here. It was 80 earlier this week. Only mid 60's today (brrr) but back to mid/upper 70's next week. And DS wants to be outside running around all day every day so I'll be chasing him on his bike 40 weeks pregnant when it's 95 degrees. Oh boy!
madamewaffles, Drinking at work is one of the reasons I maintain my employment there. I can't tell you how many bottles of wine I've "sampled". I told the membership that I only drink $10 and below bottles. After that, I think I've tried every single bit of alcohol in our building at some else's urging.

TheTuna15 I've managed to choose a career path that is very open to drinking on the job. Server>event production>catering sales>wine store. Even my part time job now, at a byob painting studio, allows us to drink. My husband is always jealous. Now, my morning nanny job probably wouldn't but I've never officially asked the parents.

Its supposed to be in the 60's over the weekend here. I am pretty excited about getting out and enjoying the weather. Maybe going for a hike on Sunday or somewhere else to just walk around outside.
My A/S is officially scheduled for 3/18! It seems so far away, the anticipation is going to be really tough!
We are waiting on the results of our quad screen now and should hopefully get those back sometime in the next week. If they come back favorable we will be going out and taking advantage of the BRU trade in event by trading in DS's old stroller to a travel system for this LO.

One of my favorite parts of event planning and production is signature drinks. We do a decent amount of events where someone will come in and want a certain color or theme of drink, which leads to us just screwing around behind the bar for longer than is ever appropriate.

Me too! I'll never forget a bride who insisted on a lavender colored martini. We made all these delicious options with juices but the colors were too muted for her. She chose vodka and lavender syrup. It was beautifully colored and tasted like old lady soap. So terrible for her poor guests.

Storage is legit addicting. I'm thankful we don't have a container store around here.
We drink at my work all the time, like anytime we have a meeting after 3PM there better be alcohol or no-one is coming.
My boss and I have been trying to schedule a meeting forever and it just hasn't worked out so we're getting a drink after work today. I'm so excited for a glass of wine.
I could go for a margarita right about now. It's the only drink I miss.
I'm so tired and baby keeps kicking my bladder, it's not a toy!! I'm excited for tomorrow I get to go through like 10 tubs of baby clothes from my prevoius two and my niece. I'll probably cry at seeing DS's little baby clothes though. We're going to sell/donate a bunch and it'll be so hard to part with them, I'm such a sap.
Shit...I think I'm getting a cold! I haven't been sick in over 5 yrs....grrrrr. cough go away please!
No illnesses in over 5 years?! I'm on my 3rd cold this pregnancy. Jealous of your super immune system. I blame DS, and I also have very low white blood cell count making me get sick more easily :-(
But regardless, hope you feel better! I find drinking OJ as soon as I feel a cold coming on lessens the severity.

It's probably because I'm a homebody, live in a kind of remote area so we don't see our friends much and work from home so I don't get out much lol!
I'm with glaze, I've given sushi multiple chances and decided it's a no for me. I'm not a fan of fish at all, and the taste/texture of the seaweed grosses me out 'cause I'm a weirdo.
tikoberry99 I hope if you do end up getting sick it doesn't last long!
Last night I told DH I was going to have some "champagne", which was leftover sparking cider from Valentine's day. I'm such a rebel obviously, I even had two glasses
