Re: Feel Good Friday
Today I feel good about the following:
* I put my jeans on right out of the dryer this morning and they were still loose! I think I will be ready to go down another size in a couple of weeks
* Christmas music on the radio on my ride into work this morning
* The pumpkin coffee I decided to stop for this morning - good decision!
* I am on vacation at the end of this work day until December 1st. My first time off since maternity leave. I am soooo excited!
THIS WEEKEND...
Tomorrow we are planning to drop my car off in the morning to get serviced and inspected, then we are both planning to get hair cuts (in shifts, while the other is walking around/hanging with Will), then probably lunch, then my wife really wants a pedicure and I have a few other errands I want to run -- so she is going to drop me off with Will at a shopping center, then she is going to go down the street for a pedicure and come back to get us. We will probably stop as a grocery store for a few small things for the weekend, then we will head home... busy day!
Sunday is all about laundry and packing. We are leaving for Boston on Tuesday morning... and we have a big day on Monday! Stay tuned for more on that! ;-)

I feel good about the following;
- I ovulated as predicted and we have excellent timing this cycle.
- I get to do some holiday baking this evening for a Friendsgiving we are attending this weekend.
- DW and I repainted our living room last weekend and the new decor is coming together beautifully.
Tonight we are making turkey chili and staying in to watch movies. Tomorrow we are picking up our wedding rings and going to a Friendsgiving in the evening. We go every year and it is always exciting to see everyone and catch up. Sunday we are focused on laundry and any final touches we need to do to have the place ready for DW's Grandmother who will be staying with for Thanksgiving.

I just have to gush for a minute.... I just love my job and I can't believe that it's really happening! We have clients, gigs on the calendar (not that many but it's a start). I'm working everyday and I love it.
Just stopped by EVs work with the kids, they we're having a potluck and it was fun to see everyone. She works with great people.
Owen weighs 21lbs and is 28" long. He's in the 93% for both height/weight. Such a lil' chunker.
Our nephew was born this morning at 6:30ish. Mom & baby are doing great and I'm so happy for them.
Tonight (or tomorrow night) I might ask EV for the night off so I can go to see Mockingjay. I need a little me time (even if it means sitting in a crowded theater alone ;-) ). Saturday is likely a day to catch up on household things. Sunday we're driving North to visit friends who are visiting from Los Angeles.
ILs are here now. No idea what we are doing this weekend. I am sure we will go to the mall so ILs can walk, I'm sure we will go out to eat...other than that no clue!
@jazibel thanks! I'm so sorry the Marin area is not commutable. Marin is so beautiful and you are lucky to own a home there. We would be happy with one of these guerneville area hillside shacks but Marin would be a dream.

Today my wife went to the high school playoff games with her dad at cowboys stadium and I stayed at home and cleaned and set up the Christmas tree. I didn't decorate though because that is something my wife and I do together. I made roast and pumpkin pie today:)
As for tomorrow I am back on duty for the next 16 days. No days off. So I'm enjoying the rest of the evening.
