*I painted my nails a few days ago and I love it. I feel pretty and girly. The best part, they aren't chipping yet. Once I get a chip, it all has to come off - I hate the look of chipped nail polish.

*Dan and the girls are still sick.

*I was sick to my stomach last night.

*I ordered a new quilt for our bedroom on-line last night. I hope it doesn't show up looking nothing like the picture or being of bad quality. I love our current quilt, but it is starting to fall apart. My aunt made it for us when we got married, and it is slowly starting to deteriate and fall apart. I figure if I put it away for now, I could use it in a guest bedroom if we ever have a house with a guest bedroom. I just don't want to keep using it to the point that it falls apart.

*This means there will painting of the bedroom involved. I like painting and I'm looking forward to a change.

*I want to paint the living room (shhh don't tell Dan), but it will have to wait for now. I am also going to refinish the coffee table. It needs a darker stain to match the rest of the furniture.

*Dan has Friday and Monday off! After the past couple of weeks, I'm really looking forward to 4 days together. We were going to go out of town, but with the girls still sick we decided to stay local for the weekend. Hopefully we will be able to get together with Matt and Beth on Sunday.

*Bg1 has started pulling a little bit of hair again. Nothing major yet, but I'm getting worried again. She's been doing so well for the past couple of months.

*Bg2 has her two eye teeth coming in at the same time. Next to molars, these are the hardest teeth to come in. She is a teething mess right now - on top of being congested!

*There are a million things to do around the house, but I don't feel like doing any of them.

*Last night, after the girls were down and Dan was playing xbox, I sat and read two magazines. It was SO nice and I realized I need to spend less time in front of the computer/TV and more time doing things I enjoy.

*We went to Costco last night and stocked up on food. I've been really good about cooking lately. I've even been trying several new dishes. I made meatball soup (without a recipe) last week and the other night I made salisberry steak.

*I used to always say that I wasn't addicted to coffee - that I just liked the taste of it, but didn't need it. That has changed. I NEED it! I can't function without it. I only did decaf for years (pregnancy and nursing) and the last several months, I have been doing the real stuff and I'm hooked!

*I haven't been very good about taking my medicine 3 times a day, but I am getting better at it. I am trying really hard to remember to take it everyday.

*I have been very mindful to eat smaller portions, but have yet to see any results. I have maintained the same weight for 6+ months, so at least I'm not gaining any. I know I would feel better if I lost some weight though. So while I am not going balls out about it, I am mindful of it.

*I hate the expression "balls out"

*I am very specific in my slipper qualifications. They have to be slip on (no heel) and open toe - I don't like my foot being confined. As you can imagine, these are not easy to find. Dan found me some the other day. I'm very happy because my old ones were falling apart. And, they are pink!

*I love my girls.
