Random Thoughts: 1/19/09

So, what is everyone up to today, what's on your mind, what are your plans for the week, how was your weekend? Lets chat it up ladies!

Re: Random Thoughts: 1/19/09

  • I didn't have to work today, so I'm cleaning my craft closet.... it's an all day process apparently. HOW in the HELLO did I get so much crap?!?!? Can anyone tell me?

  • I took the day off work and have spent it just hanging out with Haley so far. We went up to my job at lunch time because she hadn't been in for a visit since Halloween. I love three day weekends!
  • I've been trying to clean up my scraproom so that we can clear it out to be Noah's new room. I am feeling you there! I just can't believe how much stuff I have!

    Today Noah is sick/cutting teeth and he has been crying/whining most of the day. His nap time was heaven. Now I'm feeling really sick and just want a shower and nap. Yes, I'm whining now, too.

  • I had to work today, Yuck!  I have to train someone to do my job, "just in case" I get pregnant...  And the one they have chosen to do my job - guess what - No Computer Experience!  I work on the computer all day at work!  arg!  My boss' don't think!  So, I will be working this guy for a while, yippie!  This weekend, no idea what we are going to do yet.  I don't have to work - I might just stay home and relax.
  • I'm not working (well - because I don't have a job yet). So, I went to have blood drawn (for my yearly physical for insurance), treated myself to a sushi lunch, and now am working on my resume and cover letters to send out this week.

    The weekend was relaxing - C and I went out to dinner, watched a lot of movies, and made homemade pasta sauce and gnocchi.

    That sounds like fun! I bet they all really like to see her.

  • Crystal--I think that's stupid that your job is making you train someone right now. If you get pregnant, don't they realize you will have months and months to train someone?

    Leesa--hang in there! Hopefully you'll be past the feeling sick part of pregnancy soon.
     

  • I didn't answer about my weekend. Saturday we drove to Novi for our friends' daughter's 1st b-day party! It was fun but it took 2 hours to get there because of the idiots on the road. We saw at least 10 cars in the ditch on the way there.

    On a side note, Haley turned 9 months old on Saturday! (My ticker is screwy for some reason.) It got me thinking about planning her b-day party. It will be here before we know it.

    They really do sound like they are idiots! Why would they hire someone with no computer experience for a job like yours?! I'm sorry that they are morons!

  • Crystal, that bites. How's the job search coming? I hope you find something different soon! Your boss sounds like a peach :o)

  • That just goes to show you the type of people that I work for.  Yeah, I would have 8 months at least!  There is one other person who could do my job if needed, but they won't let him do it, since he just got back from being on leave (he's MI National Guard reserve) and he was in Afgan. for a year.  When he is qualified to do my job!  But they are afraid that he will have to go back.  Ugg!  Anyone know of someone who's hiring?  haha

    He actually can't be sent back for at least 12 months (I think). It's at least 6 months. How stupid.

  • What is everyone having for dinnner?

    For us: DH is picking up Quiznos!

  • We were out shopping, so, we ate at Bennigann's Yummy!

    I've been to Bennigan's twice and never loved it. I'd rather go to Applebee's or Houlihan's!

  • I'm making meatloaf and mashed potatoes. DH works late on Mondays so we won't eat until around 7:30.

    Side note...Haley didn't nap great today so I put her to bed at 7:00 tonight instead of 8:00. What a beautiful thing!

    Side note #2...Bennigan's is our favorite place to eat. I'm jealous that you went there tonight Crystal!
     

  • Another random thought....I can't believe another post on our board got a star! That hardly ever happens. So, either a lot of us "regulars" are reading this or there are more lurkers who need to start posting more!
  • Maybe we should do more random thoughts and people might check in more.  If there was something to read, I'd be on here more when I'm at work....  Maybe I should start looking up useless knowledge when I'm at work and then post it.  Big Smile

    We tried this random thoughts thing before and everyone posted ONE freakin' time and didn't come back. For this to work, people have to come back more than once per day and "chat."

    Let's try again tomorrow. Maybe we'll get more people coming here!

  • Normally I check this board quite a few times a day, but we've been really busy at work.  We just moved from our old office into two new ones, so there's either been no computer available or I've been way to busy organizing and cleaning to be able to use it.  But I definitely like the idea of chatting.

     Is anyone else watching The Bachelor?  I love Jason, but I don't know which of the girls I like.  His date last week with Melissa (in the helicopter) seemed like it went really well.

  • I love The Bachelor and am totally addicte!!!  Tonight's show was interesting. I just love Stephanie, but I don't think she'll make it in the end. I had tears flowing when her little girl showed up! That was the sweetest thing! I'm guessing he'll pick Melissa in the end...

    I was SOOOO happy when Erica was sent home. I did NOT like her at all! She was so two-faced!
