Throwback Thursday (on Friday)

Well, once again Thursday snuck by me & I forgot to do my Throwback Thursday post.  Oops!  I'm sure the whole five people that read this were devastated.  Ha!  So, without further ado...

September 5^th – 26 weeks

Only two weeks left of my second trimester…  We went to Ruby Tuesdays for lunch (love their salad bar!) & ran some errands.  I wanted to go to Gordmans to return something & see if I could get the same dress pants I got at Motherhood for a little cheaper (I had two 20% off coupons).  Well apparently, Gordman’s coupons apply to everything EXCEPT maternity.  WHAT??  I was so annoyed.  Like it’s not bad enough that I have to get fat & can’t drink wine.  I can’t even save 20%??  I obviously didn’t buy the pants & have decided I don’t care to shop at Gordmans anymore!  Boo on them.  Then we went furniture shopping for glider recliners.  We found some but they were all very recliner-y looking.  Not my style.  Then we swung by the TV area & found a black console for our TV (we’ve been talking about replacing ours for quite awhile & it’s definitely a baby hazard).  We needed to check the measurements but we went ahead & made an order since the guy said we could cancel it later.  Then we went to Golf Galaxy but they didn’t have the golf shoes that Michael wanted in his size.  L  But I convinced Michael to go to the Halloween store next to Golf Galaxy & I had fun looking at all the stuff – it just makes me happy.  We had a good laugh at some of the costumes.  I told Michael I wanted to get a pedicure but wasn’t sure when the place closed.  They were still open, so Michael said he would wait for me.  I felt much better since it had been too long since my last pedicure.  Then we went to the grocery store.  Michael cooked grilled tilapia, mashed potatoes with roasted peppers, rice & corn.  The best part was dessert – blueberry pie with snickerdoodle ice cream (Michael had decided he wanted ice cream with cinnamon in it but we didn’t find much until I saw the snickerdoodle one – it actually went really well with the pie!)  We watched Inglourious Basterds again since it was free.  It was a great day!

September 6^th

Labor Day – no work!  Michael got up to mow the front yard & I worked on pulling weeds in the flower bed.  I hadn’t noticed how bad it had gotten until recently.  It amazes me that the recent heat killed just about everything in the flower garden but the weeds are thriving & green.  UGH.  Michael helped me after mowing & we filled up an entire trash sack with weeds.  We didn’t even get to the side of the house (we always seem to just avoid that area because it’s so bad), but we had enough.  Michael went to play golf & I did laundry & cleaned the house.  It was nice to get some stuff done but I tried not to overexert myself.

September 7^th

Michael & I rode to work together with plans to pick up the TV console after work.  Michael was a little apprehensive because we found out the stand wasn’t quite deep enough & our TV would hang over in the back about an inch.  We really liked the stand, though.  I did some online shopping & found a similar one for actually a little less.  We decided to cancel the original order & get the one online.  Hopefully we like it in person & the quality is decent!  It got good reviews.

September 8^th

Ordered a car seat today.  At least we can check one thing off our list!  The hospital won’t let you leave without a car seat, so now we have it just in case the nugget is crazy & tries to come early.  Not that they’d let us take him home if he came this early but at least we have it! One thing at a time…

September 10^th

Work was CRAZY today & I left at 5:00 pretty much brain dead.  I was wiped!  I wanted a bottle of wine SO BADLY.  Boo.  Got the new TV stand we ordered online & decided to put it together while Michael was cooking dinner.  I got toward the end & put the cabinet doors on but they wouldn’t close.  UGH!  I figured I screwed something up but Michael & I couldn’t figure it out.  We decided to leave it alone & spend more time on it on Sunday.  I am NOT looking forward to putting the crib together…  We are not handy!

That last sentence makes me laugh.  Nothing has changed in the last year - we still are not handy.  In fact after putting together the TV stand & all the baby stuff, Michael declared that from now on we will only buy furniture that's already assembled or we will pay someone to put it together.  It's probably better for our marriage anyway.  Oh & stay tuned.  There's more drama to come with that TV stand...

Happy Friday!
