Just realized that, while I posted this information on Facebook & Twitter a couple weeks ago, I hadn't yet made an LJ-land announcement. So this is to let everyone know that my husband & I are expecting our first kiddo in early September :)

Things might be quiet around here this week as the bestie (known around the blog as "b") and her husband are coming to visit. So if I'm quiet for a while, I'm probably hanging out on the couch talking Harry Potter & other Boys in Books.

I swore I was going to try to blog more often, so here's today's (pathetic) Friday Five1) I woke up this morning with a headache. I've never had a migraine before, but I think I had one today ( Read more... )

In an effort to remember to blog more, I'll be attempting to do weekly Friday Fives as a wrap-up... We'll see how that goes!1) This past weekend, Hubby & I decided to make and freeze meals, as we frequently wind up eating cereal or popcorn for dinner since neither of us want to cook much during the week.

Apparently other people's weddings are more work than one's own. Ran around all day with my sister confirming appointments & deliveries & music (& changing hair salons-- note: if you run a business & realize you can't fulfill a customer's appointment that's been on the books for a month and a half, call her.

Hubby got sick on Saturday night/Sunday (he's never sick, so it totally threw me off) & then I thought I was coming down with it on Monday, but it didn't really stick, I just felt rather blah & achy. Silly me, I thought I'd escaped it. Nope. Tuesday afternoon I got a sore throat around 4 and by 6 I was totally ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to say that I haven't forgotten LJ! The Day Job has been extra-busy and my brain has been Elsewhere-- like stuck in sku-making-mode & "wait, there's no good category for this kind of shirt" mode & spreadsheets that make me go O_O ( Read more... )
