Friday Night Leftovers - Holy Crap I'm on time edition!

• It is cold here.  I hate the cold.  I love my heated seats in my new car though! 
• K got a new bedroom set a little over a week ago.  It is a loft/bunk bed set with a built in desk, book shelves and dresser.  I love it!  But the kid has slept like shit since we got it.  I switched the mattress for her a few nights ago and it seems to have helped.  I also had T lower the mattress so she is closer to the ground.  We had 2 fall outs, 2 nights in a row.  Since lowering it, all has been a bit smoother.
• We moved the crib, changing table and glider into a spare room.  Reality is sinking in.  We are having another baby.
• I am almost on board with not finding out gender, but not quite 100%. 
• I started my baby name list though.  I really like old names. 
• Several of my peers and staff lost their jobs over the summer, they are all either gone from the company now or are leaving over the next 6 weeks.  I had 3 Employees that were not retained and am so happy that as of today all 3 have found new jobs!  1 stayed internal to the company while the other 2 found external roles that wound up being better in every way (more pay, shorter commute, more PTO!).  I am so happy for them.  It is such a tough economy but their persistence really paid off.
• My belly seriously popped out this week.  The pic I posted yesterday was really dark so I am included a new one today.  Taken at 15W2D.  This is what I looked like at 19W with K.  Oh shit.

• When T's brother passed away a couple months ago T found out he was the sole beneficiary on his 401K.  We looked at the amount, which while wasn't substantial, was a lot more than we presently had, and decided to pay off 2 of our debts.  As of 11/23 both our Boat and Truck will be totally paid off.  This will add $610 back into our monthly budget to go towards another debt.  I am greatful to my late BIL for this gift.
• Thanksgiving is next week!  I love that day.  Yummy food....What is your "specialty" on Turkey day?   We go to my MIL's house and I always bring the Sweet Potato Souflee (my Grandma's receipe) and the traditional Green Bean Casserole.  Two of my favorites!  Although my #1 favorite is the homemade cranberry sauce that my MIL makes just for me.  Oh YUM!
• I think I have K's xmas list pretty much done.  Not going too crazy on her.  T has mentioned a few big ticket items in recent weeks that I have made note of.  My MIL just bought a new house and is looking to have custom window covering completed, so I think a gift cert to that company will be her one and only gift (maybe something made by K too). 
• I have been thinking about me....not sure what I want for xmas. 
• K pushes my buttons big time lately.  She gets on my last nerve daily.  I think our biggest issue is that she is JUST LIKE me.  Not good at all.
• I am going to the casino tomorrow!  Can't wait.  My girlfriend got an inventational BINGO invite (yes BINGO) and she is allowed to bring a guest (ME!).  We get to play for 2 hours and there is a chance to win up to 50K.  Then we'll do a late lunch/early dinner and play a little longer before calling it a day.  Think I'll get any weird looks being prgnant in the Casino?
• T made dinner one night this week.  Oh how I wish I could get him to do it more.   That same day I noticed he cleaned toilets too.  Hmmm wonder what he did that I don't know about yet??

Ok well that was enough of my rambling.  One thing I want to ask you gals, I noticed that when I do post lately it takes almost 2 days to get comments.  I am wondering if my posts don't appear in your readers right away?  Are my posts delayed?  I know another blogger that this happens to all the time.  So for the record, I am hitting Publish post at 3:20pm (est) Friday 11/18.
