It's -5 degrees outside, so pretty cold. It was a cold walk into work from where I park.

Morning! Day after Christmas. Lazy morning. Finally took ds’ yearly pic (I know late... but technically he is still 4). We made a gingerbread house, watched tv, had my parents over for coffee. Planning on taking dd 18 month pictures and grocery shopping. Not much else.

How is my little L going to be 2 in a little over 3 months!? I'm doing a little birthday party research to keep myself busy. I'm thinking dance party theme because she loves to dance. The first thing she says in the morning is, "I want to dance".

And I’m with you, time goes so so fast with kids.

Good morning, girls! Not sure what's on the agenda today, but the kids still want nothing to do with the outside world and everything to do with their new toys so it might be another day in the house to play. Would be OK with it because I want to start taking down the Christmas decorations (well, everything but the tree). Normally I feel like we should get out and do things, but with everybody home for Christmas week, all of the places I want to go with the kids are going to be super crowded..

Morning, all. We're still in bed except for S who snuggled with us for a few minutes and is now climbing into big brother's bed. We got the tree down last night, but I didn't put anything else away or even sweep up the needles, so I'm going to wrap that up today. I do love the week between Christmas and New Year's. So low key, and usually good shopping mixed in.
I drove an hour to the nearest pottery barn yesterday to buy a Christmas pillow I'd seen but didn't get in the moment. Of course they sold the last two right before I got there. Oh well. I'll probably run to target and Wal-Mart to pick up half-off holiday decor. Should have done it yesterday morning first thing, but I didn't.

Morning! I need to catch up on yesterday and Monday. The data speeds at my cousin's house was so slow. LO had a good Christmas but now he is being a little stinker butt. I decided to go into work so idiot manager doesn't screw more things up.

At work. My computer wouldn't start up this morning so that was an annoying start to the morning. And now my space bar doesn't want to work. Blah. It's 2 degrees here today with a real feel of -8. Thankful I got a new coat for Christmas lol.

I loved this show, but to be honest, I'm side-eyeing how many shows they're bringing back. Are they really out of new ideas?

Morning! Everyone in my house is coughing, so that’s fun. I didn’t get the tree down yesterday so I’m planning to work on that today at nap time. It’s super cold today and it’s supposed to snow a little this afternoon. At some point we will be loading into the car and going to the sbux drive thru.

I got a long, black puffer coat for Christmas. It's LL Bean and I am obsessed EXCEPT it's too big. So DH went to return and reorder and the smaller size doesn't exist. It's not backordered, it simply doesn't exist. He even called customer service to see if there were any out at a store that could be shipped. They did have a blue one available or black one that was a bit shorter - both options are already gone. I found a similar one on Eddie Bauer (except with a faux fur trim on the hood) so I think we'll go in that direction. But I don't love it as much... Boo to me for asking for the wrong size in the first place. And boo to vanity sizing because I used to wear 2 full sizes larger in LL Bean coats.

Also I took tomorrow off and my only plans are to get in a long run and to take down the tree. I don't usually take it down quite so early but the lights on the bottom branches have fallen off, it's so droopy!

Good morning. I am at work and got in super early because no one is on the roads. I did all my work in the first two hours and now I have nothing to do really.
Dh agreed to the new car so I am just trying to get the price down a little more. From what I can tell we are getting a good deal, but I would like it a tiny bit better. Hopefully I can wrap that up today and go to sign papers Friday.
Also you know that Bloodhound we saw Saturday and loved? Well, she didn't get adopted. We feel like this is a sign so we are working with the rescue to see if they could hold her until after our Disney trip in a few weeks. I doubt it but we figure we have nothing to lose. She really was special and I think Max would actually really like her. She was very similar to our former bulldog. Anyway, we will see what happens.
So in the past 24 hours we have decided to get a new car and possibly a dog. Good lord!

Of course I had plans to go to the gym this week so I could still run and the gym is closed for renos.

joelies Would it be possible to get it altered to fit you? We do have a tailor who could probably make it work for the right price. But it seems crazy to me to spend another ~$150 on a coat that already cost almost $300. I'll just ignore the pocket on the arm of the Eddie Bauer one - that's the only visible difference (aside from the hood) that I can see online. I'm just being overly dramatic because they had the right size available when he first ordered, I just didn't realize how small I had to go.

wedding - That's exciting about the dog! I'm going to hope they can hold her for you, she's so freaking cute. And also tomorrow SHOULD be outside. I'm going to wait until the sun is up so hopefully it'll be in the double digits by the time I go. This morning it was 12 and with the right clothes, it wasn't too bad. ^^^ Proof I've lived here too damn long.

He didn't actually adopt or buy her, she tracked him and refused to be left behind lol. He was at a deer camp like 4 hours from his house and she just appeared at his camp. She was some super expensive breed with extensive training and must have gotten lost or left behind. She jumped in his truck, maneuvered her way into his tent at night and stayed at the base of his tree stand all.day.long. his whole trip. So he took her home lol. She was a true hunting dog. If you even said "deer" she was at the door howling to go out.

The coat I got for Christmas fits a little bigger than I prefer but I like it a lot and I can layer without feeling like I'm stuffed in.

I don’t think I ever mentioned my coat situation. Last winter I bought a parka from Abercrombie and after a little while the zipper started coming apart at the bottom when I would bend down to pick up the kids. I just decided to deal with it and use the buttons instead. Well a couple of weeks ago I went somewhere by myself so I zipped it. It opened from the bottom and got stuck. As I was fighting it the bottom piece came off. I emailed A&F (I still had the order number in an email) and they refunded my money! So now I’m in the market for a new coat, and I may try to get a new zipper put on the one I have.
