Re: Whine and Win Wednesday

  • Whine: I have the winter blues something fierce. I feel so lazy and just bleck lately.

    Win: Don't have to work till Saturday. More days off is always great.

     01.21.2012---> I married a redhead I'm crazy about.

    04.2016: IT'S A BOY! Elias Alan is due!

    WDW trips: 05/14 (1st trip! Art of Animation; Little Mermaid), 05/15 (Pop Century!). DL Trips: 12/15


      

  • WOOO!!  Hopefully you can beat those blues.  Can you spend anytime in the sunlight?
  • I wish! It's suppose to snow and be nasty for the next three days. = (. I could use some sun.

  • lame!  I remember what that was like in MN.  
  • It stinks. I hasn't been sunny in two weeks. No joke. It's either been snowing or overcast. I don't care if it's cold...I need my sunlight!

  • SAD!  But yes.  My mom has a light because of the unsunny MN days.

    I have another whine: as much as I like to waste time on swagbucks, I wish I had more.  I have goals and its taking way to long to get to my goal. Stupid? YES! 
  • Whine: I ordered Lily's birthday invites. They were supposed to arrive today. They didn't. :( Win: we forgot our spot bot carpet cleaner at my MILs when we moved. She shipped it to us and it did arrive today. Yay! Now I can clean the carpet in our bedroom where our cat decided to hack. (Note: I cleaned it up but there is a stain. Hence my need for my spot cleaner).

  • I tried using Swagbucks a LONG time ago. Wasn't a fan. T uses it all the time though.

  • J hated it as well.  I don't mind it. It kills time. Plus I have made about 200 dollars on it. I paid for all gifts this year for Christmas with them. I got J a few books he had wanted.  I like the goal setting and then seeing if I can do it. 
  • I really don't need another time killer! haha. I have a class that is killing me already this semester....so much work involved.

  • Michelle- What are you doing for your babies birthday?
  • oh for sure. I did not have time to kill when I was in school.  Just when you get out.  I an one of those people that get bored right away.  This is me..

  • I am a horrible, horrible procrastinator. I have no idea when this habit started because I was not like this in high school. Augh. Must. fight. laziness.

  • I have always been a horrible procrastinator. Still recovering. And that cat gif describes me perfectly too! And Jen- You can't share your news with us?????

    Win- The realtor called out of the blue to set up a meeting cause the other realtor called her. That means that we are on our way to buying the lot and building ourselves.

    Whine- I'm tired of living with my parents. End of story.

  • I didn't see this yesterday so I'll do it now. 

    Win: I have almost all the decorating done for Abby's dedication party on Saturday.
    Whine: There are several family members who still have not told me if they are coming so I am not sure how much soup to cook for the party. I hate that they are waiting so long to tell me.

    Michelle- I can't believe there are only 11/2 months until Lily's first birthday. You must be so excited.

    Super excited for Lily's birthday. Going with a butterfly theme to decorate. Keeping it pretty simple though. I found a few decor ideas to make from Pinterest. Just going to have it here at our place. I don't think much family is coming. Just my mom and sister. And I plan to invite Jen and Aleigha. :). If everyone else lived closer I'd invite you too. But I doubt you'll fly here for a baby birthday party.

  • I would love to come, but I think you are right in assuming that the plane tickets would be prohibitively expensive! Just make sure to share some pictures with us!

  • Whine- got in a stupid accident yesterday. It was my fault. No damage to the other persons car but I did crack the bumper on our 4 runner. D was not thrilled and I spent the rest of the day pissed at myself.

    Win- today was the first day my assistant had appointments at the salon.
  • Michelle I would love to come. When is the party?
  • I'm just happy to finally be living in a "home" versus a live in storage unit.  Just finished putting my desk back together and watching the pile of collapsed cardboard boxes grow.

    And my dear darling wife made me a birthday cake....<:-P

  • @jtmh-HAPPY BIRTHDAY

    @aleigha- I am glad that you are ok.  Bummer about the bumper!

    @Imperial- I got unofficial word that my job is secure next year.  I am not putting too much stock in it, but a prominent person told me, so I am excited.  Next up, fighting for my paycheck.
  • Win-Liliana is developing so well. She seems very smart. I am a proud mama.

    Whine-Where do I begin? My fibroid surgery is scheduled for March 10. I have to be cut open. Recovery is 4-6 weeks. Also, DH is having injections for his back this Tuesday. Hopefully they will help. I am drained because he can't drive and I've been taking hin every where he needs to go. Also he hasn't been able to help with Liliana.

    Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.

  • Tara- I'm sorry you weren't able to get out of surgery. I hope the injections help your dh.
  • Win - I am super excited (more excited than I probably should be) for my Space Saver Vacuum Bags (http://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-Space-Bag-Saver-Set/dp/B00BEBXH5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390531147&sr=8-1&keywords=vacuum+space+saver+bags)

    Win - I am officially in my last semester of my Masters program

    Win - No condom sex is awesome (tmi win)

    Whine - I am already stressing about moving up to Washington. Jared wants to try and do this without a moving truck (me taking some stuff up the next couple times I visit, and then just fitting all the necessities in my car that I will be driving up, hence my first "win" of the space saver bags). All of our furniture is thrift store/flea market stuff we got 4 years ago to last through college. Not worth the $600 bucks to rent a moving truck to move it up. But we shall just have to see if it works out O_O

    To start out, I love my sister. And I love my niece or nephew already :)

    But to continue, my older sister who got married in October who has always been a "fly by the seat of my pants" type of person. I think it's just causing me to have a small little pity party because Jared and I started TTC in December and I got my period when she was telling the parents she was pregnant (unplanned, she was using the ring but was using it incorrectly). I guess I just decided to include that she is pregnant under a "whine" as well as a "win" because she's saying things like "I'm so happy I'm the one making our parents grandparents," and she called me up to say that although Jared and I got married first, she and her husband are pregnant first so we're "even." (She and her husband were always irritated that Jared and I got married when we did). They always try to be in competition with us, when Jared and I have planned our timeline for what is right for us. No she doesn't know we're trying, which is why I'm keeping this "whine" to myself and this board haha. It's just ironic that during our first cycle trying, my sister gets pregnant. 

    Overall, I am happy to be there and support her in the process. And will love that baby to pieces. It's just going to be a looooong 33 more weeks haha. I'm bracing/preparing myself for more backhanded comments :)

    And yes I know I'm being crazy sensitive and irrational in putting this as a whine as well haha. I figured you all knew me well enough to not judge too much ;)
