Good morning!
After a whirlwind weekend (ha!) it is the freaking Tuesday before Thanksgiving, where does the time go?! My weekend was anything but whirlwind, in fact, I got so bored on Sunday I went over to my parents house for company. Not that I wouldn't have already gone over for Sunday dinner, but I certainly didn't see myself getting bored in my own house!
Anyways, the weekend was nice, I got a new needlepoint canvas to work on when I am done my other project, and as of last night the table cloth is completely ironed and on the dining room table ready for Thursday evening. Mr. Pit and I are going shopping for some last minute food for Thursday (fresh veggies and what not) tonight and then we should be all set!
The in-laws come in tomorrow afternoon, and both Mr. Pit and I have half days due to our very generous companies holiday schedule.
I also had my 18 week doctors appointment yesterday and got to hear the Littlest Pit's heartbeat again, a whopping 152 beats per minute and nice and loud. This is DEFINITELY my favorite part of every appointment. I also got my H1N1 shot last night and I am glad that it's now out of the way. I tried to get it Saturday from the County and it was a big disaster and I bailed, so I am very thankful that my OB had it last night.
The next ultrasound appointment is December 11th and NO, we will NOT be finding out the gender. This is the appointment that we could if we wanted to, but we are choosing to be surprised in April as opposed to now. I know it's a surprise either way, and yes, I am VERY aware that I am a Virgo and I love to plan, but whatever this little thing is, they will get a yellow room full of bunnies that they will live in until they are old enough to tell me to paint it another color...so there! (Sorry to rant, I just always catch such flack for not finding out!)
So, not sure if I'll get the chance to blog again this week as I'll be busy with family and dinner prep, but I promise the table looks fab and the turkey will be delicious (and I know this because I will NOT be the one cooking it!).
So, Happy Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope you all have great and happy holidays and that no ones family drives them completely batty over the weekend!
xoxo Mrs. Pit

Furry Friday!
Welcome to Furry Friday! Meet Bosley!!
Bosley is a handsome 'mini' mastiff and is currently being fostered by a local family, but I think it's your turn to take him home. I mean, look at that face!!
Here's his write up from MLAR:
Meet Bosley!! He is a gorgeous Dogue De Bordeaux. He is smaller than your typical French Mastiff, a mini mastiff! Great temperament comes with this boy, he plays well with humans (adults and children), in addition to his doggy friends. He will make a perfect companion for almost anyone! This well mannered, housebroken boy is currently living in a foster home where he enjoys his daily walks and just hanging out with his foster family. Please schedule to come meet this sweet handsome boy! For additional information and application, please contact Peg Benoit at Timber Ridge Rescue: pegbenoit@yahoo.com
Doesn't he sound fabulous!?
As always, you can visit Main Line Animal Rescue by clicking HERE or just google PETFINDER to find local animals who need homes in your area.
Have a great weekend!

Am I the only one?
Who was disappointed in the Lilly Sale? It was supposed to be Jubilee...but I only found a few dresses that were actual pink label Jubilee stuff..and where were the bags? And the shoes? I'm sorry, 2 tables of shoes does NOT cut it for a hyped up sale. And the sweaters?! They used to have BOXES AND BOXES of cable knit sweaters and tops, this year they had ONE table and it was that wierd chunky knit SHORT SLEEVED cardigan thing...WTF? Sweaters are for when it's cold out. Short sleeved sweaters is about as logical as a screen door on a submarine. Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine. STUPID. I would have bought that sweater if the sleeves were long.
I ended up sticking to my rules, I got one dress for myself (which I can't find a picture of anywhere) but I love it and it will definitely work for me this winter. It has a belt so there is room for the ever expanding belly of mine to fit in it :) I got a sweater for my brother and a gift for a friend, but other than that I couldn't and wouldn't have bought anything else even if I did have an entire paycheck to blow. Hopsy and the other girls who went yesterday morning seem to have done VERY well and maybe that's because the morning had more options than the evening did, and that's awesome. I also don't fit in any of the sample sizes, so those racks were pointless for me to go through as sizes 4 and 6 don't cut it.
Sorry to be so complainy about it, it's just the second time in a row that the sale has disappointed me. I always want to go in and be blown away, and I never am!
Anyways, coming up is Furry Friday, so stay tuned!

Happy Thursday!
Hi all,
Though it is dreary and rainy here in Philly today, the week and weekend have lots of fun things on the agenda.
Tonight I am headed over to the Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse Sale in King of Prussia, then Mr. Pit and I are going to try to think of something fun to do for dinner. Tomorrow night we have a charity dinner to attend at Merion Cricket Club and I think it will be a great event as it always is.
Saturday I am getting my H1N1 shot (oh how fun it is to be 'high risk' these days!) and then going to lunch with Mr. Pit before he goes off to New England for the weekend with college friends. They are all going to the Patriots game on Sunday night and doing lots of things that boys do when they all get together before that.
Sunday will be spent with the parents and family friends who are in town to visit and then next week is Thanksgiving, can you believe it?!
I am very excited for the sale tonight, though I promised myself I would only buy 1 thing for myself and everything else has to be for others...but I'll let you know how that goes in tomorrows post :)
I was sad I couldn't get to the Pre-Warehouse Sale Preppy Blogger Dinner, but the pictures look fun and it looks like everyone had a great time. I am sure they are all still at the sale this morning as I type this!!
Anyways, have good Thursdays!
xoxo Mrs. Pit

WHAT a weekend
Hi all,
Mr. Pit and I had a whirlwind weekend down in our Nations capital and I was SO glad that we decided to take yesterday as a vacation day.
Saturday I went to a bridal shower, which was followed by a dinner, a lingerie shower and then a bachelorette party, complete with a 20 person Hummer limo. I bailed before the first bar on account of being on my feet since 8am, and since it wasn't proper for me to imbibe on account of the little one. BUT, I had an awesome time with my college friends and was SO glad I made the trip down there. It was great to see everyone and I have never seen the future bride so happy in my life, what a treat :)
Sunday was filled with football and we started our Redskins tailgate at 9am, complete with breakfast, lunch AND dinner after the game. We hung out for 2 hours after the game to let the parking lot empty (which is totally brilliant by the way) and made it home in 2 and a half hours with no real issues. The game was great, our seats were really fun and again, hanging out with friends was my favorite part. We also got to see the Redskins win, which is a rarity this season!
Yesterday was spent sleeping, eating and doing all the things around the house we didn't get a chance to do since we weren't around all weekend. Mr. Pit and I had a great time just spending time together AND we got our Thanksgiving turkey for a whopping $5. Yep, $.29 a pound...so our 17 pound bird only cost us 5 freaking dollars! Wegmans people, WEGMANS. I love that place.
Now I'm back at work catching up on everything I missed from being out for training 2 days last week as well as yesterday, so I'm working it!
As for this week, um...LILLY Warehouse sale is Thursday and apparently NOTHING is over $100...HOLLA! I am so freaking excited. I love that sale, it makes me happy every year :)
Then this weekend I am finally getting my H1N1 vaccine and Mr. Pit is headed up to New England for the Patriots game on Sunday night. I will spend Sunday with the parents and I am very much looking forward to Thanksgiving the next week!
Hope everyone had great weekends!
xoxo Mrs. Pit
Oh, and a BIG shout out to DOG SITTER OF THE CENTURY, our friend A. What a lifesaver this girl is. Lil' Pup was SO calm and happy to see us, which is a sign that he had a great weekend and was a happy pup which is all we can ask for...oh, AND our house was freaking spotless, which is NOT how we left it! A, you're the best. You will be rewarded heavily!!

Furry Friday!
Welcome to Furry Friday! Meet Homer!!
Homer is a 6 year old Mastiff who really needs a home. Totally house trained, walked great on a leash, and so handsome!! His story from Main Line Animal Rescue is below, take a look and take this guy home...what a great early Thanksgiving present to yourself!!
Well, I was a mess when I arrived at Main Line Animal Rescue, no hair from years of bad infection, funny looking moles and just about the gruesomest dog you ever saw. Now I am a new man and ready for a new home. Handsome is just one of the words the volunteers use to describe me, and sweet and gentle and loving. I went from being an "untouchable" to one of the hot new dogs to walk and love....and they love me, they really love me!!! Now I'll just wait here and play with my new friends until you come and discover that I am a real dreamboy. Fully housetrained, easy to walk and won't give you a bit of trouble! I am healthy, happy and move in ready!
Doesn't he sound like a doll? I tell ya, if I lived on a 100 acre farm, ALL of these pups would come home with me!!
Mr. Pit and I are off to Washington, DC this weekend. I am going down for a bridal shower and bachelorette party and Mr. Pit is going to see a bunch of college friends. Then we're all going to the Redskins/Bronco's game on Sunday and taking Monday off to recover.
And then next week is the Lilly Sale! Since I already got my Hayward tunic I am really only on the search for the Saemus dress in my size, and maybe some things for Baby Pit...however, since we don't know if Baby Pit is a boy or a girl, I might have to buy some of everything! I can't expect my child to be born without a Lilly wardrobe now can I? Ha...don't worry, I am really only looking for a cute onesie or something, no dresses or anything older than a 6 month size, their kids stuff is just SO darn cute!!

Lilly Online Sale
Hi all,
I am assuming you all found out about the Lilly Online Sale in one way or another, and I have to say I made out like 1/2 a bandit.
I wanted two things. I wanted the Saemus Dress and the Hayward Tunic. Hayward Tunic purchased...Saemus Dress...well, all I can say is that I wish I were a size 6.
I am thrilled by my tunic though, and think I will pair it with black pants for Thanksgiving, how chic!!
I love it, don't you?
