Good morning! And an update on the GTG

Good morning ladies! How are y'all doing today? I hope everyone is great. I am hoping for today to be a great day. The past couple have been stressful with a high pressure situation that was going on at work, but it was mostly resolved yesterday so I'm glad I can move past that and focus on other stuff. I am waiting to hear back today about a volunteer opportunity for Saturday. I haven't volunteered in years and I'm really feeling the need to do something positive with all the time I have now that I'm not WP'ing.

 

No real plans for today besides working. DH is going to have a super crazy day at work, so I'm sure I will be on cooking/cleaning duty tonight while he relaxes. I realized yesterday that he was so much more helpful around the house with cooking and cleaning when the stupid Playstation network was down from being hacked. It was down for like at least a month.....that was nice. :) He loves Call of Duty and I just made the connection yesterday that since the network has been up and running again, I've been doing almost everything in the house. So, can someone please hack the network again lol?!

 

As for the NYC GTG, please check the DW board for the update and poll! Thanks ladies!

Re: Good morning! And an update on the GTG

  • I have not been sleeping well so my mornings lately haven't felt so good!  I hear you Laura work has been really stressful for me lately too...with budget cuts looming I am keeping my fingers crossed that I still have a job in a few months....I most likely will but the chances of not are scary.

    Laura--where are you trying to volunteer?

    Today I am in meetings and have a lot to get done and then after work we are meeting up with the ILs for a belated birthday dinner for me at a mexican restaurant. 

  • Morning ladies! Today I am going to the beach, and I desperately need some sun. I was supposed to go yesterday, but I was just exhausted and could not get off the couch. I actually got some decent sleep last night though, so I'm feeling good today. Tonight my BIL is coming over to help me work on a website, so I'm looking forward to that. And I'm making breakfast for dinner so that will be yummy. Other than that there isn't much to report. Hope you ladies have a good day! Laura-I'm glad your work situation was resolved. Have fun volunteering! Amanda-I'll keep your job situation in my t&p's.
  • Laura- that's too funny! I swear I sometimes wish the internet would go out so FI would spend some time with me while I'm cooking. I don't even need him to help, I would just like him to keep me company while I make dinner. :P

    Amanda- Where do you work? I feel like I should know this.

    I got up early this morning with FI and went to the gym. Tonight I'm making a chicken dinner (either the garlic parmesan chicken I recommended to everyone the other day or chicken piccata) and then we're meeting our realtor to see some more houses. 

  • Morning ladies!  Not much going on with me today.  I am finally starting to feel better now.   YAY!  I just had my review this morning and while my boss said good things I'm still not really happy with the outcome.  The raise was pretty small but I got the max I could get.  I just don't know.  I stop moaning for now.

     

    Laura, happy 2 month anniversary! :)

    That's how it was here too. They couldn't give us more than 2.5% so my annual raise this year ended up being pretty insignificant.

    My friend who has only worked here for a few months got his prorated so he got $500... which is being divided between a year's worth of paychecks. Such a freaking joke.

    Ditto this!  All he does while I am cooking is play his playstation.  I swear, there are times I want to throw that thing out the window.

    Nothing much going on here today.  I am off for the rest of the day so I plan on giving this place a good cleaning, plus do a little cooking.

  • I got to work at 630am today. Oye! Normally i start at 8. Working some OT since im not gonna be in my office much these next few weeks :( Nothin too exciting going on on the home front, just trying to stay on top of things. FI & I got into it a bit the other night over bach party plans. Its ok now though.
  • Happy Wednesday!

     I also slept terrible last night. It was sooo hot in our room, even with the AC on! I had to turn the fan on too to cool it down. I think we waited too long to turn the AC on before we got in bed so I was uncomfortable. I kept waking up, not fun.

     Today I am going to the gym for a bit then work. DH is going to be soccer game tonight so I am on my own for dinner. Probably will just do something easy though.

    It's so muggy!!!

  • Hi ladies! I need more sleep too, badly! I'm completely exhausted.  The time difference is still messing with me being in Hawaii for so long. 

     Is there another way to reply to threads because when I hit reply, it brings me to another screen and I can only see the last response.  I'd love to respond to more than just that, but I don't have a supertastic mind remembering what every person said.  Help me out with that one :)

    I'm ordering return address labels for DH and I.  I'm pretty excited about it, haha.  Other than that, just working today, then a mani and having dinner at a gf's house tonight!

  • I just wanted to say Good Morning to all of you wonderful ladies.  I think it's great that you have this board over here.  It's fun!  I've been so tired this week.  I think I'm still trying to recover from last week.  I had a workout this morning already, and ran a few errands.  After the USA World Cup game, off to run more errands.  But I really don't mind.  It's nice to get out of the house sometimes.

    And that's great about volunteering!!!!!  I just picked up papers on Monday to volunteer in the Peds Dental Clinic where I went.  I'm excited to work w/ the students again.  It really is fun.

    I hope you all have wonderful days!!!!!!

    That's where I get my weather from :)

     Sarah - you can get a free address stamp on VP. I ordered one a few months ago with my future last name & FI's name on it.
