Good morning. Let's chat.

About anything.  Who's here?  How's the weather?  What are you wearing?

Re: Good morning. Let's chat.

  • Good morning!  How's it hangin'?

    I'm wearing nothing.  Nothing at all.  Hot.

    I'm very excited because I just put in my lunch order from Chipotle.  I want it now.

    I'm also excited because I've got a whole weekend ahead of me with absolutely no plans.  That never happens.  Woohoo.

  • I'm wearing an oversized t-shirt and pj pants.  I have a wedding at 4 (45 minutes away) so I just took the day off.  I'm trying to get up the motivation to exercise.  It's been a few months and I'm having trouble getting back on the wagon.

    Chipotle sounds gooood.

  • Also, I have an overwhelming urge to go shopping today.

  • I'm here! My friend posted her 3 y/o's school picture. SADDEST PICTURE EVER. Her eyes are teary, she's pouting, her hair is a mess. I wish I could post but, but that'd be creepy.

    I think the weather is lovely. I love New England in the fall.

    I think my flu is turning to bronchitis. Grrrrrrr.

  • I haven't exercised at all this week.  I was sick, so that's my excuse (it's kind of lame excuse because I wasn't deathly ill or anything).  Perhaps I'll go to the gym before my lunch arrives...decisions, decisions.

  • A 3 y/o has a school picture?  Sorry you're feeling under the weather Moofry.  Also, I had a realization about my upcoming trip to the Northeast.  I must have a lobster roll.  It's an important life goal of mine.

      It's been MONTHS for me.  MONTHS.  Many months.  So, I'm just going to start back up light.  It just seems half assed to do weight watchers and not work out.

  • I'm working from home today, so I'm wearing my comfy velour pants and a schlubby shirt.  Maggie's staring at me as if to say, "So um, when are you leaving?  Because I'd like to start my nap.  Now shoo."  I'm super tired this morning.

  • Isabelle is at the groomers.  I don't need her sitting around judging me on my day off.

  • Hey there! hey..

    I am wearing jammies. Not the jammies I wore last night. no, these are fresh jammies.

    I wrote a haiku about why I have fresh jammies on

    Come to ma, sweet boy

    What is this substance? ew smelly

    covered, no NOT MOUTH!

     

  • I hate my clothes.  I need to go shopping.

    I have a gross Starbucks story I want to share but I gag thinking about it.

  • Your haiku makes me feel squiky.

  • it's casual Friday, I'm wearing dark jeans and a black top. 

    I'm excited for the long weekend.  This is the weekend I switch over my summer clothes to winter clothes.  I've been wanting to pick up a few new things, but figure I should wait until I make the switch so I can see what I have.

    that sounds horrible, I'll take 65 over 91 any day.

  • Confession:  I'm not wearing nothing.  I'm wearing boring clothes.  Brown plaid pants (circa 2008 Loft), brown 3/4 sleeve v-neck sweater (H&M) over an ivory BR tank, and my sneakers bc I'm just too damn lazy to change to work appropriate shoes.  Nothing sounds so much more risque. 

    My other confession:  I've been thinking about contacting my ex.  I saw a picture of him, his new wife, and kid.  I was genuinely happy for them and kind of want to send an email just saying that.  I also know that I obsess about things that are off-limits (hence my previously documented internet snooping on him).  If I open that channel of communications, I may just be able to finally put it to rest. 

    I'm going to discuss with my therapist next week before I do anything.  I would also talk to my H beforehand and wouldn't do anything if he were uncomfortable with it.

    your ex who told you he wanted a divorce at a wedding?

  • I'm wearing dark skinny jeans, red orange ballet flats, a navy ruffly tank top, and a gray drapey sweater.  And a gold feather necklace.  Everything came from GAP except the necklace.  I'm very consistent.

    I feel weird because I've been busting my ass for two months to prepare for an audit on a project I've been working on since December.  We just got the score back and it was a 97% (our goal was 90).  I am obviously happy, but also kind of lost.  I don't know what to do with myself now that I won't be working weekends all the time and freaking out.

    November, if you think that would give you closure, it might be the right thing to do.  I think it's a good thing to discuss with your H, though, definitely.

  • My husband's birthday was this week, and our anniversary is Sunday, so we're doing a weekend getaway to...Williamsburg, VA.  History comes alive!

  • November, I'm having a 'no' reaction to your idea.  I wonder if contacting him will just engender more curiousity, rather than bring closure (whatever that is).

    Yeah Winged, that one. 

    And SB, this is what I'm hoping for.  I feel like there's still a loose end there, and perhaps I can close that chapter once and for all?  I don't know.  It's probably a horrible idea.  I'm going to see what my therapist thinks. 

    image Mabel the Loser.
  • November, why do you want to shoot him a message letting him know you're happy for him?  Do you think there's the element of wanting him to know how happy and well you're doing in return?

    I don't necessarily think it's a horrible idea, but I just don't see it being a great one either.

    Yeah, this is true too.  With the FB stalking history maybe leave it alone?  I'm a flip flopper.

    HT, I've always wanted to go to Williamsburg.  I'm totally jealous of your opportunity to make candles and churn butter.

  • See, I don't know.  I think I'm genuinely happy for him.  Maybe I'm just happy for me?  I've been really happy and at peace with everything in my life for the moment. 

    I'm guessing my therapist will tell me to write a letter and not send it.  It may be just the writing of the letter is closure enough.

  • I love Williamsburg! I demand that you take pictures in the stocks for us.

  • I'm preparing for an audit that begins on Monday and was supposed to be completed today but my boss was too busy dealing with her kids and shopping for cars to bother setting up the audit even though I've sent her biweekly reminders since May.  So I'm crazy stressed, and just discovered that when I was told that I was taking over payroll and was going through binders of old crap, I accidentally shredded some documents that we need for this audit.  I would feel bad about this, but I can't bring myself to feel bad for doing poorly at a job I never applied for, and have no training or experience in, and was given no extra money for doing.

  • I'm wearing pajamas and a robe.  I  should brush my teelth before my next call. 

    My BF from HS is getting married on Sunday, I'm so happy for her.

    Tony just told me to go get my hair done for the wedding.  He says he's just trying to be nice but I think he's tired of seeing me in a pony tail because I'm too lazy to blow dry my hair straght. 

    November, I think you should just let it go and not email the ex.

    On the radio this morning they talked about a study that says intense shopping urges are tied to a woman's cycles.  Are you PMS'ing?

  • Ugh, Groomz, what a pain.  But I'm glad you have the right attitude of not being upset over accidentally shredding something you shouldn't have.  As a reward, I think you should shred something that belongs to your boss just for funsies.
