Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1.) I woke up with a spasming back. Lovely. I'm sitting as straight as I can, and it still hurts. And I can't take any more Advil until 2 pm. :(

    2.) My 29(+2) year old body cannot handle as much dancing and drinking as I experienced last Friday night anymore. But I had more fun than I did in college. :)

    3.) My dog has been more cuddly than usual. He's never been a cuddler, but for the past two weeks, DH and I are getting so much puppy snuggles.

    4.) I have no idea what I'm doing this coming weekend.

    5.) DH is planning my birthday party with my mom & sister. I'm a little scared...I mean, I know what's going to happen, but he's planning...the man is allergic to planning.

    6.) I had the weirdest dream two nights ago and I'm still thinking about it. It was right out of a sci-fi movie.

    7.) My dinner last night was mozzarella sticks and jalapeno poppers. I'm not even sorry.

    8.) Some of the ladies on my local nestie board have had issues with their IUDs and have gotten pregnant with them in. It's freaking me out a little...

    9.) I got really excited last night when Sara Bareilles sang (even though it was for a sad reason). But she's my favorite singer ever, so it was still awesome.

    and 10.) Alamo Drafthouse is my new favorite place to see movies. :)

  • 1. Work is boring me out of my mind.

    2. DH is sleep deprived and home with our puppy. I'm trying really hard not to lol at his text messages.

    3. Our repairman was supposed to come to fix our dishwasher today after 6 weeks of being broken. He was injured and can't come until the 9th. I'm calling to bitch out the home warranty company tomorrow as this claim has been open for 5 weeks. FWP I know.

    4. I have no idea what is for dinner.

    5. I have so many little things to get done before our party on Sunday and I'm trying to not freak out about not being done.

    6. I have had a large amount of candy today yet am still craving chewy sweet tarts.

    7. I had a dream that DH was stuffed in his trunk and dying last night. Kind of freaked me out a little.

    8. I still have yet to tell my sister about my Luke Bryan encounter a few weekends ago because I lied (by omission) to her about why I was going to NY.

    9. Since we moved, we have two laundry baskets that sit behind an almost always closed door. I don't notice they are full until I run out of a clothing item. Or DH runs out of socks. Whoops.

    10. Is it Friday yet?? 3 day weekend!
  • Oh man, I am not sure that I can come up with 10 things!

    1. I have a 4 day weekend coming up and I can't wait!

    2. I am tired of sitting alllll daaaaay every day. But I can't do anything about it really. I want to get one of those stand-up desks like a lot of co-workers have, but my workspace isn't really conducive to that

    3. I feel like there is a hair stuck in my throat. There's not. It's just allergies (I think). It's driving me bonkers.

    4. My husband is the sweetest, kindest, strongest man I know. I'm so blessed to have him in my life.

    5. It seems that every time I cheat and eat meat, I have vivid dreams that night. Not bad or good, just weird and vivid. On nights I eat normally (meaning no meat), I have normal dreams if any. I feel like there's some correlation between meat and dreams now.

    6. My Bitters are the best. While 3T sucks, I'm so incredibly grateful for it because if nothing else, it has allowed me to meet these incredible women.

    7. I painted my fingernails at lunch.  They are dry, but the trick will be not to mess them up for the rest of the day because they're still a wee bit smooshy.

    8. I can't imagine a world without iced tea

    9. Our pastor challenged us this past Sunday to think ahead to the end of our lives and think about what we might wish we had done with our lives. It's really gotten me thinking.. I just want to do something that helps someone or makes a difference in someone's life. I care about people very deeply and just want to do something impactful, even if small. Which brings me to....

    10. I've been contemplating a career change... into teaching. I just can't decide though. It's scary. I would love to do something with high school speech/debate, but I'm not even sure where to start or if it's even feasible.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • 1.  I had the worst heartburn yesterday and today.  Like, from 6 pm yesterday until ~10 am today.  I've barely had any sleep because lying down is the worst thing for it.

    2.  One of my old co-workers at the coffee shop had to put her kitty down, who was only six. :(  We weren't that close, but I wish I could think of something small I could do for her.  One of the things we always talked about was our cats.

    3.  In addition to the heartburn, I was finally able to sleep laying down for a few hours this morning but I woke up with a terrible headache.  Blah.  I also know I need to eat but I really don't want to.

    4.  Need caffeine injection ASAP.

    5.  My Dad's side of the family celebrates Christmas on Labor Day weekend because it's too hard to get everyone together in the winter with the bad roads.  We do a secret santa exchange for everyone over 18 and I still need to get our presents for that...

    6.  The one thing I am not looking forward to for this weekend is that we get together at my family's farm out of state and it only has an outhouse :(

    7.  Tomorrow is my first day at my new job!  Eek!

    8.  I should probably find out exactly when I'm supposed to go in.

    9.  I am also excited for my own class to start in a few weeks!

    10.  Making sure you get enough protein is hard. :(

    ARJ - Good luck at the new job!!

    1) I had such a monster headache last night and still feel the affects of it today.

    2) We might be doing dinner with DH's parents tonight but I have no desire to see them because that blatantly planned dinner with my BIL & SIL and their kids last night and didn't invite us until we called them during it and heard the kids there.

    3) I need new shoes soooo badly.

    4) Today is taking forever to go by... still 90 minutes left of work...

    5) DH got me a new car, Subaru Legacy, and I am head over heals in love with it.

    6) I have wanted soft serve ice cream with sprinkles for 3 days now... something needs to happen to resolve this no ice cream situation.

    7) I'm trying so hard to be nice to the people I work with but I am in such a "I don't give a f*ck about you" mode that it is becoming increasingly difficult to fake it.

    8) I hate doing accounting

    9) Burger King in my town now has Chicken Fries again and I can die happy because I ate them on Sunday.

    10) I haven't REALLY cleaned my house in about 2 weeks. It is starting to stress me out but I have no energy to do it and when I get energy I am either not home or not feeling well.

  • @Sewilson33‌ - The big ones are my favorite but I may have possibly choked on one on a family vacation so they have banned me from eating them. Have to stick to the bite sized ones. Boo.
  • @lfk2013 Anything my husband plans worries me, too.  It's cute that he is wanted to plan your birthday, though!

    @RockABye Teaching is the most rewarding (sometimes frustrating) job in the world!  Career changes are scary--but can be incredibly worth it!  Good luck thinking it over :)


    Things about me....

    1) Our house was shown this weekend and I am incredibly inpatient and MUST. KNOW. NOW. what they thought.

    2) I absolutely adore the people I work with--they truly are my best friends and like family to me.

    3) I haven't done laundry in FOREVER and had to wear a too-small bra today.  It was the worst.

    4) I just want a nice thunderstorm--it has been so hot here lately.  

    5) I love a soft spot for peanut butter anything.  Especially if it also involves chocolate.

    6) I have only been back to teaching for 7 days and I already am looking forward to our 3-day weekend!

    7)  I want to start building our new house now--but I know it isn't smart since our current house hasn't sold yet.

    8) I have terrible taste in TV...terrible.

    9) I'd do just about anything to take a break from "real life" to go back to "college life" for a year.  

    10) Online shopping is one of my favorite hobbies.

  • 1. I just realized that I never picked up our vaccuum. I've been driving around with the rental for two days. I need to pick it up TOMORROW.
    2. I am hoping skinny jeans hang on as a trend for a bit longer. I just bought a pair I like.
    3. I have spent more money on my classroom than I have on new clothes for school.
    4. I feel like wearing a Tshirt that says "Get Over It" tomorrow. People need to remember that we teach middle school. We're not in it.
    5. How long can I keep dried lavender on display?
    6. Nia Vardalos' book Instant Mom is awesome. I'm only a few chapters in, but I am feeling TOTALLY validated in my feelings. I'll post more on 3T on Thursday, if I remember.
    7. DH has to go to SF tomorrow, and I really don't want him to go after that earthquake.
    8. I really want to go to the beach by myself on Friday. I'm so glad the dogs will be in daycare so I can go and read.
    9. DH has decided on his midlife crisis: a luxury car. Good thing he's about 15 years from a midlife crisis.
    10. Someone is telling everyone I work with about our adoption plans. I'm pissed. It's my news to share. Let me have it. Everything else in the journey to parenthood has been robbed from me, so let me have this ONE thing, damnit.

  • @RockABye‌ - Have you looked into any alternative certifications for your state? What's your degree/experience?

  • @RockABye‌ - Have you looked into any alternative certifications for your state? What's your degree/experience?
    I did years ago, but not lately. I'm still in the "just thinking about it" phase :) I know they have some kind of alternative certification b/c my cousin and my brother have done it before. I have a BA in Communication with a concentration in Voice and Articulation. I took every speech, debate, and articulation class I could in college. I actually love public speaking lol. I have zero teaching experience unless you count teaching sunday school/youth groups and leading new hire orientations at work though. 

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
