Friday Favorites

It's Friday!  

 

It's the second week I've been home since stopping work and I'm loving it. 

I've gotten so much done and have lists of everything else I need to do. 

Here are a few of my faves for this week 

This chair

Well. It's a rocker/recliner.  

We're getting it for the nursery. 

It's comfy and I love it!

I made

Quesadillas last week and they were so good!! I'll have to post the recipe next week because it was delicious!! 

Definitely beat any restaurant I've ever had. Ted agrees.

My nephews. 

After the blizzard, they (with the help from my mom and Ted) made this cute snowman! 

They are just so cute. And getting so big!

OMG

Bananas Foster Pancakes

We found a new breakfast spot!!

This was a seriously amazing breakfast.

Might be my new favorite!

I mean, just, yeah....amazing!

After breakfast on this day after breakfast, we took a ride over to the beach.

The beach is for sure my favorite, but seeing all the erosion and crap that washed up or unearthed from the storm was NOT.

This guy....definitely my fave...

It was cold and windy and bitter but I love him :)

This is a view of the boardwalk covered in snow...

It looks so different in the winter...

But there's a calm about it too...

And then I read this...

With the amount of heartburn/reflux/indigestion I've had - I'd be seriously surprised if this boy wasn't born with a full head of hair!

Heartburn is NOT my favorite, but it's ALL worth it!

And I've FINALLY begun doing the album from my favorite day!!!

Hey - a year and a half later is better than never right?!

 

That's all I've got for today!

Have a great weekend!

A blizzard named Jonas

Lots and lots to catch up on!

I had my check up at my regular OB on Thursday the 14th and was chatting with my doctor and just like that - he put me out of work. So my last day was that Friday - the 15th.

 

My pregnancy is high risk for a reason beyond my control - something that isn't awful, but can bring me to pre-term labor and will most likely result in me needing to have a C-section.

So my doc said with the added stress from work, he didn't want anything triggering labor.

Fine. With. Me.

So I quickly and I mean QUICKLY got caught up.

Packed my belongings from my office up.

Told my co-workers (whom I'm not close to) the other kinda knew it was coming.

And by 3:30 I was outta there....

Not gonna lie - I teared up a bit... I blame the hormones!

Haha - but it was bittersweet.

A chapter closing, and a new one opening.

So the first week off was so quick.

I was SO busy!

My mom lost her cat of 15 years due to dementia. Who the heck knew cats can get that?! It was a rough and heartbreaking week. It hit fast and was just terrible. 

Rest Peacefully Pumpkin

We love you

Possibly one of the most unattractive pictures of me - but - this is a cappuccino blast from Baskin Robbins and it was delicious.

Friday night... we hunkered down and prepped for the "snowpocalypse"

This was one of the first snow maps we saw for our area...

The predictions were all over the place.

At one point we were in the 2 feet range.

TWO FEET

But as I write this (Saturday night) it's been snowing since 7pm Friday night.

It sleeted for a bit - but it's back to snowing.

The sleet just made it icy and worse.

We've been under a blizzard warning since yesterday.

It's not going to stop until 2am Sunday.

My mom lost power twice.

Ours flickered a few times. Thank God.

Snow like this isn't fun. It isn't pretty. And it's hard to remove.

All of our beaches and beach towns are flooding.

I'm sure you've seen on the news or weather channel.

It just plain sucks - for lack of better wording.
 

My poor birds and squirrels were out in the crazy weather looking for food. Their feeders were covered in snow, full, but covered.

So naturally I diced up little pieces of bread and kept throwing it out to them. 

Sunday was all about digging out. 

It snowed until like 2am this morning.
When we went to bed it was snowing so hard I couldn't believe it. 

We woke up to pretty things though. 

 

 

I whipped up these old school "pizzas" for lunch.
Haven't have English Muffin pizza since I was a kid.
They were delicious! :)

 

The snow was up to my mid thigh...

My snow coat doesn't fit me at the moment,

and my boots are too short for this depth,

So hubbys hunting stuff came to the rescue.

Poor Jake hates the snow...

 

This is why nothing fits ;)

That boy is growing day by day...

I just scooped up this maternity shirt from Target & it's so comfy

 

In the mean time, this one has been snuggling all weekend long...

She's just so cute...

 

So that is basically how my weekend was spent.

I'm looking forward to this week home to get more organized.

I've been slowly but surely getting organized each day.

My goal is to start February with a clean slate.

Here's hoping.

 

Happy Monday!

Mid-Month Confessions

January 2016
Mid Month Confessions
Linking up with Heather & Liz to share...

• I stole took a pint of haagen das coffee ice cream from my moms house and when I got out of Teds truck, it fell top down, lid off into the rocks. Since my mom took a scoop out, the plastic cover thing was off and so it face planted the rocks head on. I still ate it. I spit a rock out while eating it. But I wanted it so bad, that I didn't care.  

• I can't stand school busses. I love kids, I get that they need a mode of transportation to get to and from school but it's most annoying when it holds me up in the morning. I mean. I used to wait at a bus stop with like 12 kids. Now, kids get picked up at every dang corner so. Can't they walk?! Also - when the parents stand there and chat with the driver for a few minutes, laughing and what not with no care in the world and no where to go - it drives me nuts!!

 

• I'd rather wake up at 8 am, watch 3 hours of day time television while drinking tea and eating an English muffin, than get up at 5am and go to work. Some days I have to bribe myself to get out of bed to go to work. Others, I convince myself that I don't need to shower that day so I lay in bed an extra 15 minutes. I know this is super lazy, but I just don't care. Maybe because I'm going to be leaving work soon, maybe because I'm 6.5 months pregnant. Who knows....

 

• The room we are making the baby's room isn't even remotely close to being done. Heck, it hasn't even been touched yet. Currently, there are two large standing safes in it, all my gift wrapping stuff. All the scraps and boxes and bags from Christmas wrapping, a box with a fake tree stuffed in it, and about 5 Tupperware containers full of stuff for when we move.

We need to empty the room, paint, get lights, a shade, curtains, and just ahhhhh everything! I'm freaking out about it.

 

• Speaking of baby... I just registerd this past weekend. I wanted to over winter break, but the kitchen reno got the best of me. I went with my sister in law and mom and it took quite a bit, but I feel like I forgot a bunch of stuff.

• From December 14th to January 6th I cooked dinner twice. TWICE! With Ted being in Cali, and Christmas and New Years, there just wasn't a need to. We were out with friends, at our parents houses, and just plain Mama wasn't in the mood so we ordered in! That being said, I haven't cooked much last week either. I did on Monday, Tuesday we went for Burgers with my mom at our favorite tavern and we ate at Ted's parents. I cooked twice since then as well...
  
• I cleaned out my fridge over the weekend and literally almost threw up when I found something hiding behind something else. I mean, I'm pretty on top of the fridge. I don't like to waste food or let things sit for long, but this was a complete oversight. 
  I took a picture because I felt it absolutely necessary to share what I witnessed. It's seriously mind blowing. I didn't know mold like this actually existed.
  Brace yourselves... 
  
  
  WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?!?!
  I'm pretty sure the food was turkey corn chili but DANG.
  I had a really REALLY hard time with this.
  I threw the whole darn thing away... because who wants to try and salvage that!?
  NOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!
  So that is all for now....
  
  
  And I want to officially say that today was my LAST day at work!!!
  WooHoo!!! 
  
  
  Happy Weekend Everyone!!
