GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity?
Re: Weekly Chat - 12/10
My husband coming home. The last week has been hellish and I’ve been dealing with it all without him.
What are you dreading?
Not much, surprisingly
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week?
Not eat all the caramel popcorn I made for a potluck at work on Wednesday. Maybe finish wrapping Christmas presents. I’ve only got a couple more.
Random thoughts?
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity?
I like taking crisp walks. I also like playing in the snow, but we don’t get much snow.
What are you dreading? Lotsa work to do before I’m off.
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week? Nothing really
Random thoughts?
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity? Sledding while it’s snowing!
@meggyme - yay for YH coming home! GL with the popcorn!

What are you dreading? Nothing really, just anticipating another busy work week.
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week? Getting back into yoga cause I super need to for my stress level, and figuring out the last few Christmas gifts on my list.
Random thoughts? Anyone else get hit by the snowstorm over the weekend? We neeeever get snow that sticks this early - it was so pretty, but everything is melting and gross today.
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity? Staying inside and drinking warm drinks... I'm not a fan of being cold. Haha
@meggyme Glad YH is coming back so you can get a break!
@catlady2015 Good luck with your work week!
Hopefully finishing my Christmas shopping and wrapping so I can actually get into the holiday spirit instead of stressing over everything.
What are you dreading?
Actually having to go out to get my shopping done.. catch 22.
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week?
LOL- Christmas shopping! Plus get most of my work clued up for this year. And I need to order Christmas cards.
Random thoughts?
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity?
Much like @diaphena Sitting inside with hot drinks in front of a fire place.
What are you dreading? My final exam is on Thursday, although I am ready for it to be over with.
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week? Wrap some Christmas presents! Ordered mostly online this year so as they’re coming in I want to get them wrapped.
Random thoughts? Talked with H more seriously about TTC last night and that went well. Also looking into getting a puppy! We have one dog already but she would love a sibling
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity? Snow days!!! Extra days off from work that I get to sleep in, usually hang out with H and play with our dog in the snow.

@catlady2015 Yay for the last full workweek! That's awesome. Also, your cabbage patch gif is slightly creeping me out and mesmerizing at the same time. I'm rarely on desktop and just now seeing it!
@diaphena We got hit with snow but it is still here. I live by a great lake, so we get fun "lake effect snow," which amps everything up. I hope you make it back into yoga to destress a little.
@kristah2 It sounds like we have the same goals! I decided not to stress and do Christmas cards. I feel sort of rebellious because it's DS's first Christmas and I feel obligated to send one of those cutesy photo cards a la Shutterfly, but I'm just like...nope. Not worth the time or stress.
@dogmomma271 GL with the final! Glad you had a productive TTC chat, and that's so exciting that you are getting a puppy! Do you know what kind yet?
What are you looking forward to this week?
I'm super looking forward to my husband's work Christmas party tonight. I don't have to cook dinner and I might have an alcoholic beverage! I'm also super happy I started paying my mom to deep clean my house once or twice a month and she did it today. I feel bad renting my mom out like that, but I could use the break and she could use the money! It was amazing to walk into a super clean house today!
What are you dreading?
Just sludging through the workweek, and trying to finish Christmas shopping.
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week?
Finish Christmas shopping so I can spend the next week wrapping and relaxing. I actually really love wrapping presents!
Random thoughts?
Not really.
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity?
Drinking coffee or hot tea and snuggling on the couch watching TV/movies!
@catlady2015 Yay for the last full week of the year!
@diaphena Have fun at the Christmas party! We had a frost here that apparently caused actual snow up at the state line, but nothing where I actually live.
@kristah2 I haven't even started my Christmas shopping. We're not going to have the money to do much of anything, but that's our life right now.
@dogmomma271 Good luck with the exam on Thursday! Also, yay for puppies!
@Wishilivedinflorida Hope you have fun at the party! I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with paying your mom to do the cleaning like that. If she needs the money and you need the break, it's a fair trade!
What are you looking forward to this week? I honestly don't know. Maybe going back to work on Thursday?
What are you dreading? Every. Single. Thing. Dealing with the car accident crap. We've decided to hire a lawyer, so I won't be talking about many details. DH has his second stress test for his heart tomorrow. My CT redo on Wednesday morning, which I have to drink more barium for. My HSG on Wednesday afternoon, which I'm nervous about. Trying to pay bills when we have no money thanks to me being sick and then having to have extra doctor appointments due to the car accident.
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week? Survive. Preferably without strangling my husband (anxiety reaction, not necessarily anything he's done; case in point, we started bickering today because neither of us could find the super glue).
Random thoughts? We had follow ups today due to the ER visit. We're both doing okay, just really sore and exhausted. I tried to drive today (I was the driver when we were hit), but I made it about ten minutes down the road before having to pull into a parking lot because I was about to have a panic attack. I made DH drive the rest of the way to the doctor. My doctor (I was able to see my PCP specifically) and I decided that it might be a good idea for me to start an anti-anxiety medication, so she's referring me to a psychiatrist. She was going to prescribe it herself, but with us TTGP, she decided it was better to have them decide. I'd mentioned anxiety and depression to her a few times previously, but it was under control. Not so much now. So we'll see what happens.
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity? Being in Florida during the winter? I'm not a fan of cold and snow. DH is.

@meggyme - Glad your husband is coming home!!
@catlady2015 - Lots of work before the break here too! Good luck getting through it all!
@diaphena - Yay for Christmas party! And I need to get back into yoga too but it's been...years. My flexibility is completely gone!
@kristah2 - Good luck with Christmas shopping! Can you do any of it online? We're trying to do literally everything online this year and not have to brave the mall at all!
@dogmomma271 - Good luck with your final! And so jealous you're talking about getting another dog! We would love another one, but things are probably crazy enough with 2 cats, a dog and a toddler. In a couple of years though I can't wait!
@Wishilivedinflorida - Oh my gosh, coming home to a super clean house sounds amaaaazing. That's great it works out for you and your mom!
What are you looking forward to this week?
It being over! Lol. Well, I suppose I'm very much looking forward to this weekend, which I think counts. We're doing allllll of the Christmas stuff, because we haven't had time to do any of it yet. So, we are getting a tree, decorating it, taking DD to get a photo with Santa, mailing our Christmas cards, buying whatever Christmas presents we have left!
What are you dreading?
The next two weeks of work are going to be insane. I'm dreading basically every work day between now and Christmas.
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week?
All of the aforementioned Christmas things, 3 workouts, 6-7 days of calorie counting and writing the last two episodes of a webseries I've been writing!
Random thoughts?
I was accidentally left off of the invite for our show's premiere party and I am feeling irrationally hurt about it.
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity?
Well, we live in sunny Socal, so sadly we don't get much in the way of winter activities. We've been trying to get into the habit of going to the beach on Christmas and I think we'll probably do that this year.

@kristah2 after having DD I started doing a Christmas email newsletter instead of paying for cards (half of which we don’t send or get returned to sender) and postage. Since a large portion of our Xmas card list is military they were all moving too often to keep up with. And it lets me add multiple pictures.
Looking forward to: Wednesday is DSs Christmas party at daycare, so I get to take off work a couple hours early for that! Also DHs grandma is going to come stay with us Friday. We don't see her much, and usually it's never just her (which I love her, but his aunt and uncles are NOT my favorite people!), so I'm excited to have her come see our house
Dreading: Ugh, today was day 1 of preparing and mailing checks to counties to pay people's taxes, I'll be so happy when I'm done with others taxes lol
Goals: maybe get our PJs cut out. I've got all three patterns printed, just have to tape and cut my sons which shouldn't be hard. And got the fabric pre-washed! But if I don't get going we won't have Christmas pjs
Random: DH and I have seen Moana so many times that we've reached the point of researching the actual stories and mythology behind Maui lol
GTKY: ice skating! I did it competitively for 12 years growing up, so I'm excited to share that with my family! We took DS (21 mos) skating a couple weeks ago and he LOVED it!!
DS2 due 12/12/18
@dogmomma271 Hope your final goes well! And yay puppy! I would love to have another dog but we're kind of at our limit on animals... plus I think mine is fine with being an only pup, she gets too jealous
@Wishilivedinflorida I live in the south so when we get snow it's big news, haha. Our snow is all melted and gone now. I like wrapping presents too - it's relaxing!
@dreamscapes_ So sorry you're dealing with more anxiety after the car accident. Meds can be a lot of help, and just amping up whatever coping skills you've used for anxiety in the past (I say this and realize you certainly already know that, but hey). Good luck with all the appointments!
@maureenmce I've never been flexible but yeah, now I'm worse off than before, haha. I managed to do a short yoga class last night so hopefully I'll do the same again tonight. Good luck with all your work! Just keep thinking about Christmas on the beach..
@CecilB93 Have fun at DS's party! Daycare Christmas party sounds adorable, haha.
@Wishilivedinflorida We are looking into mini golden doodles but are just starting the process!
@maureenmce We've been talking about it for years, and now that we finally have a house with a fenced in yard I think I've convinced H it's time!

What are you looking forward to this week?
Christmas Break! Today was the kiddo's last day of school until the 4th.
What are you dreading?
Dealing with my aunt panicking about Christmas dinner until it happens- because worrying is what she does, even though everything is under control haha
Have any goals/things you want to get accomplished this week?
Get the littles enrolled in early head start before this next semester begin. I have applications filled out for two schools, so FX one can fit them out.
Random thoughts?
My life is a compilation of random thoughts...
GTKY: What's your favorite winter activity?
Staying inside and baking! I love sweets, and being warm
@dreamscapes_ I am sorry you were in an accident. I think it is completely understandable that driving afterwards would be difficult. I hope all you and your DHs scans/tests went well.
@maureenmce & @cecilb93 - hi ladies!
@allythekid - I remember you!! I'm only a dirty lurker on this board for the most part now but welcome back! The ladies here are amazing so you will fit right in
