TGIF
I can't think of a quote this morning.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!! woohooo!!!!!!
We're supposed to head to my moms this weekend .... We're hoping that we won't run into problems on the way. Yesterday the area we moved from got flooded extremely bad. They had almost 6 inches of rain yesterday,the entire town was closed down you couldn't get in or out of it. They were rescuing people by boat! Places in town that have never once flooded are flooded. And neighboring towns have it just as bad. I thanked God yesterday that we weren't still living there - the apartment we lived in is flooded. The whole area is. So if you all could send some prayers/good thoughts to that area that'd be great!
They had all kinds of roads closed, so we aren't sure how getting home will go. Hopefully we have a safe trip.
What do you ladies have planned for the weekend? Hope you all have fun!

Re: TGIF
In case anyone is interested in the flooding ...
Here's a news story: http://www.wtae.com/news/local/flooding-in-jefferson-county/-/9681086/20741816/-/aojpv5/-/index.html

Oh my gosh Friday I seriously thought you would NEVER come. *shouts for joy* only 12 more hr. only 12 more hrs. only 12 more hrs. I CAN DO THIS!
My plan is to come home tonight and not see anyone except H until tomorrow night at least. And even he will be kicked out of the house for a while. Praise the Lord. I have a little bit of cleaning to do but mostly I plan on being lazy and reading a lot. :-)
Stay safe JLQ and praying for your old community.
Oh and a little rant. So I am on an off board for my local nest here. Its been a nice resource to ask local questions especially since we are new to the area, but holy judgmental people! If you disagree with them you are a terrible awful person. And celeb that has done something they disagree with is a wretched person and don't you dare defend them! Right now its Paula Dean. And I am not saying I like her or that she didn't make some ridiculous comments in her past, but I don't entirely believe the other woman either. But if I saying anything that isn't inflammatory about PD then I am *obviously* a racist too. ugh. I like you peoples much better.
That's so sad J. Prayers for the town!
Aggie- I hear you on the PD stuff. It seems to be everywhere. You can either be 100% against her or supportive therefore a racist. No in between!
I was in bed last night and n oticed Pitch Perfect was on. I had no intention of really ever watching the movie, but I started watching it, and next thing you know it's 1030. It wasn't exactly a great movie, but I freaking love Skylar Astin so it helped. It also made me sad because I miss performing and I wish I had the confidence to do it. It also made me sad that the girl had nodes, and I had them going into college, which is part of my insecurity.
Wow, J...those pictures.
Aggie, enjoy your much needed weekend! You made it!
I won $100 at work for the Biggest Loser challenge. And I think I just won it by default. I was in 4th and someone in the top three quit and went to a different job. Then I was in 3rd and 1 and 2 were so far ahead of me that I didn't really try and even posted a small gain this week. Well the person in 2nd was disqualified for missing too many weigh ins, one of which was the final one. So I came in 2nd. Not that I'm complaining because I could use the extra cash.
Now I need to decide if I want to be responsible and put in the bank and pay bills, or if I should buy something...

You made it Aggie! Hugs to Joy. JLQ drive safe. Kris I say celebrate with the $$.
TGIF!!! This week blew! My eyes are killing me so I am on the way to the doctors. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
It sounds like we all could use some e-hugs today
creepy group hug for everyone!
jlq - I hope everyone is ok! T&Ps for your old town.
Aggie - congrats on making it until Friday! Enjoy your "me" time. Any book in particular that you are looking forward to reading?
Beanie - glad you somewhat enjoyed Pitch Perfect. I was thinking about watching it today but then I got sidetracked by a book (what else is new...)
Kris - congrats on your win!
Joy - sorry you're having a crappy day. But at least it's Friday, right?
This is my last Friday day off so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible! This whole working 5 days thing is for the birds and I'm going to have a rude awakening when I actually have to work for a full week again. I treated myself to lunch bagel from Einsteins. It's delicious and I got a chocolate chip cookie as well that was straight out of the oven.
I had planned to do a little yardwork today but we had some massive thunderstorms this morning and now everything is soaking wet so I won't be going outside. I'm not disappointed.
I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!
ETA - Degrea, you snuck in while I was posting! I hope you have a great weekend and that your eyes are ok!
