Fat Tuesday Randoms!
Post whatever!
Re: Fat Tuesday Randoms!
I'd ridiculously excited the boys love their superhero capes. I had fears I'd spend all this time picking out fabric and making them, only to have them be totally ignored. Instead, Michael doesn't want to take his off.
We had an ice storm last night here in Houston and I feel badly for the newly budding trees. I passed a blooming magnolia this morning that was glistening in the gray air, but I don't think it will be glistening after today!
Locals call the weather here "bipolar" and I would have to agree. It was 82 and humid on Saturday and 28 this morning. This is just nuts. I know this is nothing compared to the cold up north, but these swings in temps mean lots of sickness going around!!
I'm tired of the disparity going on in my work team. It's become so prevalent lately, and it's so frustrating. We have a teammate who has been on our team for 2 yrs and still can't handle more than one project at a time. And bc she's been with the company, in one capactiy or another, for more than 10 yrs, she's at least 2 grade levels higher than me, meaning she makes a heck of a lot more $ (as she's also in a higher COL city). I've had to bail her out twice so far, bc she would have missed deadlines. The boss knows this - I just have to hope that something is or will be done about this bc this is pushing me out, mentally and phsycially.

I think I'm starting to take some baby steps in the direction of my own business. I still need to gain some experience first but for the first time I'm feeling like at some point this could come true. Exciting!!
I'm obsessed with nail polish lately. I used to have just a couple colors and now I'm starting a decent collection. I used to only paint my toenails but I'm loving painting my fingernails lately.
Dd's bday party is about 3 months away but I'm ready to start planning. I wish there was a market for little kid bday planning because I kind of love all the pinteresty stuff (even though I'm not actually on Pinterest). I'm crafty when it comes to bdays!
I am so indecisive about paint colors. I was all set to pain our kitchen a blue/gray color, but when we tested it out, I just didn't feel like it worked for our kitchen. So I covered my entire wall with different color paint samples, and I am now pretty sure that we are keeping it the color that it was. On the plus side, we decided to paint our powder room the blue/gray and I love it.
I hate my job so f'ing much right now.
Next week is kindergarten registration for Mason. Pass the vodka.
