Whats the deal

Why so slow today?

 Is everyone just hung over or over-tired from the weekend?

What are we up to?

I am just passing time at work listening to a Beatles station on Pandora. And trying not to itch my eyes, wishing I had my contact solution. My eyes are so dry because of the space heater in this freezing office. eyedrops only do so much

I'm lurking around and putting together application packets for jobs in PA. I swear our entire building has been sick the last few weeks and it made its way into our office. One guy has bronchitis and the other got strep. I've been feeling kind of blah so I'm hoping extra sleep and boosting my vitamin C now will help me avoid the plague.

I'm still in bed with little man but hopefully will be heading to the gym shortly if he'll cooperate.

H brought home a nasty cold from his TDY and I'm sick as a dog.  I'm trying my hardest not to get the baby sick while finalizing everything for our upcoming PCS.  We found a house this weekend and signed a lease so I feel like I can relax a little bit now that my stuff has a place to go in a few weeks.

I'm staring at the 2 almost identical shades of pinkish/red that are painted on the wall of the nursery and can't decide between either of them. It is driving me crazy. 

I'm looking online at the bridesmaid dress that my cousin picked out for her wedding in September.  It looks like something I would have worn to a high school dance.  I'm trying to figure out how the hell my giant boobs are going to fit into it. I'm keeping my mouth shut about it though because she is already feeling overwhelmed with all the planning and I don't want to stress her out anymore.

I'm also trying to fend off all the disappointed texts and calls that I'm getting from family/friends back home.  I was going to go home for a couple of weeks while DH is off in 29 Palms training but after calculating that it will cost me $400.00 just to make the drive (there and back with stopping for a hotel) I just can't bring myself to spend the money.  Especially when we will be visiting at the beginning of April anyways.

I'd go with the lighter color in question. Once you paint a whole room in a color it looks completely different from a small swatch. This is especially true with pinks and yellows; when in question err on the lighter side.

I'm sorry to hear that people are giving you grief about not visiting when you had hoped - April really isn't that far away!

I accidentally started a fight on Buyin' a Home. "Lol."

I am getting over the plague, and am trying to catch up on all of the homework that I should have been doing, but I was sleeping/coughing/sneezing and generally feeling miserable instead. Why did I have to get sick over the weekend?!?! 

I have my Lady Gaga music on, I need it today. Otherwise, I might fall a sleep where I sit.

I'm waiting out the last hour of my work day, then I'm picking up Sophia from the sitter, going to grab a few things I forgot at the grocery store this weekend.  I'm hoping Sophia took her nap late so that I can nurse her instead of pumping.  I loathe pumping.

Em and I just got home from the gym. I'm taking a quick break before I start cleaning. J started mids last night so he's crimping my cleaning style lol Can't do laundry or vacuum until he wakes up.

I've been doing homework all day.  I finally read the first book in the Hunger Games this weekend.  So glad I took the suggestion of everyone on here.  I can't wait to start the second book.  Homework before fun though

So that's how I can consume some of the "idle" hours in my "life".

It smacked of "you don't know me".

I just finished lunch. Waiting for cousin to call me back, hopefully before I leave to go back to work. I'm freaking out, she wants me to go for the whole weekend for her Bach trip and is willing to pay for it if cost is the issue. I feel awful, my heart and head are in two different places on this and right now I know what my heart is right even though my head is telling me that its wrong.

I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep and hide from the world for the rest of the day.

I think if she hadn't added that time consuming stuff, I would have been "nicer".

I agree that it was a little bit "odd" the way that she phrased her description. She could have just come out and said that there's a greater risk of ending up with nicest house on the block syndrome when you're the first house on the block.

Thanks!  I was leaning towards that one, I am just the worst at invisioning things (the whole room not just one wall being painted). 

I keep telling them that April isn't that far away.  Pretty soon I'm going to tell them that if they want me there then they can pay for it (but knowing my family/friends, someone will and that isn't what I want. Oh well.

My parents are in town to see us before we move and to help us as we get ready. DH took our vehicle to the required port this morning so it can be shipped. My mom and I are going through each room in the house, purging, donating and organizing. It's not much fun, but it feels damn good! So, needless to say, I'm not surfing the Nest/Bump.
