Re: Thursday Randoms

  • The library is FULL of students tonight and I'm at a very tense/cliffhangery part of HP and the Deathly Hallows.  It's KILLING me not to be listening right now.
    WHICH PART?

  • DH got paid today so I laid out nothing to thaw for dinner. I want sushi, darn it.
    Me too.  :(

  • I got the netgalley of We Were Liars last night, sat down with it, and didn't get up for 4 hours. Finished it in one gulp. 

    That could ONLY happen with D out of town. HAHAHA.
  • I've been home for three days and I am going absolutely crazy.  I feel like any time one of my kids asks for something I'm about to bite their head off.  Three days of being at someone's beck and call has turned me into a monster.... I'm ready to go back to work.  :(

    On the plus side, Isabella is feeling much better today.  Antibiotics work wonders!

    We are trying to figure out what to do for our anniversary next month.  We promised each other that we would take a trip for it each year since his work schedule keeps him busy throughout most of the rest of the year. 
    The past two years we have cruised but we can't afford that this year. 
    The first year we went to a Bed and Breakfast near Deep Creek Lake in Maryland.
    It was nice, but we basically paid as much for that weekend as we paid for an entire week cruising.
    We were going to use an extended family members motel room turned condo in Ocean City and do some biking on the boardwalk and enjoy the town practically empty, but something is wrong with the plumbing and we just found out about it.
    So now we are at a loss and with very little time and very little money to work with.


    Hotel rooms in OC are very affordable this time of year.  You'd be a mile or so off the boardwalk but there are several decent hotels (3 stars) in the area with rooms for less than $100 a night.  Some as low as $60. I hope you figure something out!

    I'd thought about that. Another option we were considering was staying up near Harpers Ferry because we are considering moving closer to the mountains in a few years. This area is sucking my soul dry. But for a vacation I have to consider food choices because of celiac. It complicates things a good bit unfortunately.

  • My coworker came in saying something about "having the plague".  One, that's not really funny.  And two if you're that sick, go the eff home.

    I've said that before.  Turns out I had swine flu.  Close enough.

    But that's what I mean! Saying you have the plague should be reserved for when you are really sick.  I think swine flu or influenza count.  People die from that!  I think it's not funny when people refer to themselves as having the plague when they have a head cold.  Maybe I just don't like the flair for the dramatic when you (collective you) have the sniffles.  I'd really like to know what I'm getting in to, you know?

    I am an enormous, giant baby when I'm sick and refer to anything I have as as plague.  I don't, however, go into work when I'm obviously sick.

    I have a flair for the dramatic.  I should have been an actress.  I play like I'm dying the minute I get a sniffle.  I do not suffer in silence.
