Afternoon, everybody.
Lexxiss - Well, it's a shame that I have to work this weekend b/c it will hamper our plans some. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...tomorrow me and Jersey are going shopping for Veronica's present. She doesn't know it, but I took up a collection at the other forum we're all on (Veronica is the admin and Jersey and I are the highest level moderator there) and got $140. I'm gonna pitch in enough to make it an even $200 and then Jersey is adding in another $50. It's been 7 years since V has had a child and she was shocked to see how much more expensive things are now, so hopefully we'll be able to help her out some. Saturday I think we'll all get up and do lunch together (by then my OTHER bestfriend will be here w/ her wife and daughter) and I might see if I can talk Jersey into a yoga class or something. Sunday we have the baby shower at 1. I'm sure we'll spend some time together tonight, too. I'm just glad she's going to be here...haven't seen her in a year!!!
Mmckellen - They're both 24 hours (well, you have to have a 24-hour access card to the gym, but it's only a 1 time fee of $15 and it's definitely worth it when you work nightshift, that's for sure). I forget that not everywhere has 24 hour Wal-marts...I'm just used to it around here, all of ours are 24 hours. Hope the chiro can help you out today. I swear, if I was going to have kids I would name my first one after my chiropractor...they are amazing!!!
Heidi - *hugs* Hope you and your family are holding up okay. Hey, if you get the chance to go out to dinner, Applebees is offering a free meal to all veterans and active duty military today. The line was out the door at ours today, but I live in a town that has an Air Force base.
Cottage - Hancocks is the store w/ the sale. They had all their fleece 50% off as well as their pillow forms. PLUS between 0800 and 1000 hrs today you could use a 10% off coupon on your entire order.
Cyndi - Good news about the new hire...yay for you!!!
Kim - Awww, how exciting for you and your best friend...that will be fun!!!
zeffryn - Oooooooh, good for you, girl!!! You rock them skinny jeans!!!
rdw - A co-worker of mine has a daughter who was diagnosed w/ a Vitamin d deficiency after she gained 50 pounds unexpectedly and suddenly. One thing that I know DOES help is exposure to the sun...so that might be something to think about. Good luck!!!
As for me, I'm just killing time until it's time to go to the airport. Hit the fleece sale early this morning and ended up getting enough fabric for 5 pillows (grrr, they didn't have the pink UGA fabric this time, so I'm waiting on those pillows) plus the pillow forms for them (wayyyyyyyyyyy easier than dealing w/ stuffing, FOR SURE) and then I found a cute fabric that matches my bestfriend's nursery colors so I bought enough fabric to make a blanket for the baby to be. I'm not going to have time to get it monogrammed before the shower, though, so I'm going to hold on to it and give it to her when he arrives.
After the fabric store I hit the beauty supply store to get some shaping spray, then Wal-mart for some groceries (and a new cellphone for my mom), then picked up my nephew and his friend and took them home, then to Genjis for some Japanese Steakhouse lunch (no rice, extra veggies...and no Teriyaki sauce), then to Wal-mart again (a different Wal-mart b/c the other one didn't have the purse mom wanted), and then to Kroger to finish off the grocery shopping. Got home and took a long walk around the neighborhood w/ mom and Shadow and now I'm about to start dinner. I'm so excited about picking Jersey up tonight...yay!!!
Hope everybody is having a great day...and, like the others have said, remember to thank a Veteran today!!!
