Re: Thursday Randoms
Woohoo for the boss not being there!
My annual bonus tomorrow is a little more than twice what it was last year. Most is going to savings but I am going to use a small chunk of it to treat myself to something I wouldn't normally buy/do. Not sure what yet, possibly clothes. Although I have also never done anything girlie like go to a spa and do the whole mani/pedi thing either.
One of my co-workers is working from home today because her daycare is closing early. So she's updating our tracking spreadsheets where we tracking every account we work on. When she emails me to update an account because she thinks it's missing info, I get a small amount of pleasure emailing her back that the reason it's missing info is because it's not actually complete yet so there is nothing to fill in. Yes, imagine that-I am on top of my work.
I haven't run in weeks because of weather/health issues. I was all ready to go this morning and my knee is a big, swollen mess. I'm ridiculously, unnecessarily depressed about not getting out there.

DH and I are going to Boston for the day/night tomorrow and it's all I can think about today. It was going to be way more epic before I found out I'm pregnant because now I can't drink or anything, but it should still be pretty awesome just to get away for a day and night. There will be amazing BBQ for lunch, because we want nothing to do with going out for dinner on valentines day. Plus, we're going to see G Love at House of Blues tomorrow night (I adore him), and his first set is going to be his entire first album from beginning to end. And his 12 year old son is going to sit in on drums with him. I'm beside myself with excitement about the whole thing.
No work will get done here today.

Also, I super want a pair of Norwegian curling team pants. Preferably with one of the curling team boys still in them.

A few nights ago I had a dream about my grandmother dying, which did happen. But in the dream my dad died as well.
Last night I had a dream that I was a ghost and I was trying to wrap my arms around my husband while he was laying in bed, hoping that he would know I was here.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

So, back in the day....
On a random Thursday night, G. Love and Special Sauce were playing at a college close to the one I was attending at the time. My roommate’s friend was friends with them, so he asked if we wanted to see them and meet the band. I went along with it because my roommate was a huge fan. So we get there, see the show, then somehow ended up at the hotel where they were staying and we were all drinking together in the hotel lobby. It was just me, roommate, roommate’s friend, and band. We were having an awesome time. They were all SO nice and didn’t make the conversation all about themselves. Anyway, it gets to be about 4:00 a.m. and I’m exhausted and sitting in a really comfortable armchair in the lounge. Next thing I know, I had dozed off for a few seconds and I’m being woken up by G. Love saying, “Look at this one! Apparently I’m not entertaining enough for her!” He kicked my foot, I woke up in a panic, and the whole band started cracking up. I was MORTIFIED, but they were all so super nice about it. I left soon after that.
So that’s the night I fell asleep in the middle of a conversation with G. Love and Special Sauce.
I didn't want to have to tell my male boss that I needed to go home cause one boob was flying free. So I had one arm under my boob for an hour, waiting for him to go into a meeting.
Once he left I had to go home and put on a functioning undergarment. In my haste, I put on a sharp pokey one that makes me want to cry in pain. So I stole big band aids from the first aid kit at work, and stuck those to the sides of the bra.
Seriously. WTF.
