Re: Win & Whine

  • Win: It snowed this morning.

    Whine: When it snows around here (meaning DC), people get dumber.

    Win: Ben & Jerry's has apparently come out with a split ice cream with two flavors and a core.  Eat all the ice cream!!!

    Whine: My eyes suck.  The reason why I've had to take my new contacts out and clean them several times a day?  Too much protein.  My eye doctor has never seen this as an issue before (they're the hybrid lenses) and they had to call the manufacturer to find out if this has been an issue before.  Hopefully, just using a daily cleaner will help.  Trial and error.  Ugh.

    Win: DH likes his new job!

    That's all I've got for now.

  • Win: The song I have been waiting for 3 days to here on Pandora just came on and I'm singing out loud because I have the office to myself!
    Lee Brice - I don't dance

    Whine: My body has completely screwed with my head, I have no idea if I O'd or not... I've never not O'd but I'm lost. Now I have no clue what's going on.

    Whine: It's Wednesday, not Friday. I hate working...

  • Win - I had a Shamrock Shake last night.

    Whine - H is asking me what I'm doing tonight.  He's working in the garage, and I know him asking me means he wants my help.  I need to come up with something to do before he figures out why I'm ignoring him.

    Win - I ate a Cinnamon Crunch bagel for breakfast that my boss bribed me with. 

    Whine - None of this is good for the PCOS diet, but I'm in a IDGAF mood about it.

  • Win- I got up this morning and exercised! I also have been eating fairly healthy this week.

    Whine-I woke up at 5, and now I want a nap. I also have to go to a diaper shower this weekend for a woman who is having her third child. She had just given birth to number 2 when we started trying.

    That's all I've got for now.

    Make sure you're rubbing your contacts for at least 10 seconds on each side when you put them away at night, even if it's a "no rub" solution. It's actually a decently common problem now that people don't rub their lenses anymore. GL!

  • Win: DH bought girl scout cookies yesterday!

    Whine: He didn't get thin mints... WTF?

    Win: We've already been pre-approved from the new bank for the mortgage and the offer has been made.

    Whine: Our realtor brags about being on call 24/7, yet we often can't get in touch with her during normal business hours.  I think when people are making a full price offer on a house, all parties involved (both realtors, buyer, and seller) should drop everything and make it happen. Maybe I'm just being a princess, but I want to know if they accepted!

  • @pandpmeant2b - I look forward to GS cookie season ALLL year long! It's more exciting than Xmas morning to me!

  • Win: I remembered to bring some of my favorite tea to work so I'm sitting here drinking my hot tea and enjoying it very much.

    Whine:  The string fell into my tea and now it keeps seeping liquid up it and dripping. Yes, I keep the tea bag in the tea the entire time.. I know it's not "correct" but I like my tea super strong!

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • Win - get to go home and see DH and the fur babies tomorrow!

    Whine - driving a 2014 Volkswagen Beatle this week and HATE it... As you can see by the pic below, the side visor is RIDICULOUS and I think has the ability to block out the sun for about 15 minutes of the entire day. Whoever thought this was a good design is an f'ing idiot... Especially for us Phoenix drivers!
