What do you have that's random today?

dmlk413 · March 2014

I'm not a fan of Thursdays. I have meetings all day which means I'm trapped in a room with a bunch of people I don't like for most of the day. I also get no work done because of all these stupid meetings.

Wednesdays are like that for me. That's my meeting day. I hope it flies for you!

I bought a jean jacket yesterday at ON. It was a complete impulse purchase. I didn't even realise I wanted a jean jacket until the GG guy quiz the other day.

I think I need a new washing machine, ugh. It's almost 8 yrs old and we bought a pretty low-end model to begin with. Occasionally it wouldn't spin if there were too few clothes in it but last night when it was aggitating it made such a loud noise from my basement it actually scared the crap out of me at first because I didn't know what it was. Then when I went to throw the clothes in the dryer on a full load of laundry I found that it didn't spin at all so the clothes were sopping wet. Tried restarting that part of the cycle-nothing and I also think I smelled burning a little when I opened it up. I wish I had more handy men in my circle to tell us what to do.

I have a two-hour meeting today where lunch is provided. Unlike other people, I hate when lunch is provided because it basically makes me feel like my options are limited. Also, more times than not, there's always a million turkey sandwiches and I don't like turkey sandwiches.

I generally could not care less about celebrity gossip. Except when it's about the British Royal family for some reason. I'm fascinated.

I'm the opposite. I can't wait for mine to die. My washing machine came with our house and our dryer was bought when we moved in 10 years ago. Most of the time I'm thankful J is mechanically inclined, but I don't want to buy a new belt or whatever it needs, I want to new one!

I realize the upfront cost is a lot, but I can't wait to show him how much energy/water we'd save with new ones. Both of our machines are low (high?) on the efficiency scale.

@ShShne322- send him to my house to check out my machine lol!

RiverPlate · March 2014

I stopped by a random shoe sale yesterday on my way back to the office after lunch and got a pair of wine (purple? burgundy?) Franco Sartos and a pair of snakeskin pattern Nine Wests for under $20 each.

Today I'm wearing the wine shoes, a wine colored top and scarf with wine colored stripes and I feel very put together.

Menrandes · March 2014

We're leaving for Harpers Ferry tomorrow for our camping trip. It will be short and not exactly warm, but I'm glad to be getting away.

@SnShne322

It took me so long to convince J to stop trying to fix the washer and just get a new one. He was fixing it like once a week for a while. It was ridiculous!

Is it engrained or something? Just give up already!

denmanam · March 2014

I got dressed this morning. Not that I was running around naked before, but I actually put on jeans and a long sleeve tee instead of my ratty old sweats and sweatshirt that I'd worn last night. I have no intention of leaving my house today, but I thought putting on regular clothes might give me a boost of energy.

Same here! I couldn't tell you who half the people at the Oscars were, but I love hearing/reading about the royal family.

My cat loves to give eskimo kisses. She is so friggin adorable.

And it is official:

I am currently the owner of over 250 pair of shoes. I am a shoe hoarder.

@ShShne322 funny thing-Google tells me I probably just need a new belt

Narrowing down the choices of which shoes make the trip for NYC will be the most difficult thing I will ever have to do.

brittk0486 · March 2014

I've been looking at waterpark inflatables all morning. Please tell me I do not need one.

Um, I mean the kids... the kids do not need one. I have no interest in it.

AshleyT121 · March 2014

MH husband probably has a new job, at least temporarily. We're just waiting for his background check to clear, which shouldn't be a problem at all... he's a good boy

We're celebrating by going away this weekend. Taking the train into the city for the night.

sfgiantsjo · March 2014

I love vacation. I read until 1:30 last night, and it doesn't matter because all I am doing today is sitting in the 84 degree sunshine and watching a baseball game and then going out to dinner.

Lauren620 · March 2014

I just had a reading comprehension fail when I replied to an email. I HATE when that happens, but I was trying to rush through and read unavailable as available and I had to go back and basically say my bad, I read it wrong. Thursday is being a little bitch.

ThisModernLove · March 2014

I want to go home and watch House of Cards all night.

Also, I haven't read a beautiful book in way too long.

Lauren620 · March 2014

@SnShne322 John is selective over what he wants to try to fix around the house and what he just impulsively goes out and buys new. It makes me crazy because I never really know how he comes to these decisions. Unfortunately, he also insists on fixing the washing machine/dryer and I just want a new one.

Today is a really good day so far!

Why can't we be the same size?? Whhyyyyy???

sneetches · March 2014

I just handed out "The Lady of Shallott" to my 10th graders. Only one girl in each class had read/seen Anne of Green Gables. "The Lady of Shallot" is the poem Anne acts out in the boat, which sinks, and then Gilbert has to rescue her. Why haven't more kids read Anne of Green Gables?

julie37619 · March 2014

My boss just said to me, and I quote:

"Today I need you to spend about $2000 on popular fiction and non-fiction new and upcoming releases and DVDs. Is that ok with you?"

SRodi811 · March 2014

I have baby fever. Like, bad. DH still thinks we are good at two, so I have some major convincing to do.

And, I'm tired today. That is all....
