  • A friend of mine is a lawyer but she earns her paycheck by answering questions online on a professional site where people pay for advice. Whenever she complains and says she really needs a vacation I really want to answer "from what?" because that job doesn't sound that stressful. But not being a lawyer what do I know?

    I will later today at some point since they usually post grades online after 5. I know this since I have taken the test already a few times. I need a 500 and last time got 493 and I keep thinking I will get 499. But I promise I will check at some point.

  • I think this is the year of broken appliances.  We recently had to replace our refrigerator and our washing machine stopped working last night.  There are so many other things that I would rather spend money on right now.

    I'll send you my washing machine.  I've been dying for  new one, but I can't justify it because it still works.

  • My sister will be here Saturday evening with my two nieces, and I can't wait!

    My old gray kitty has turned into a lap cat, and it's very very sweet except when I need to get up.  I hate to move him because he has just now at 16 become a lap cat and I love it and don't want to miss a minute of his snuggles.  I'm such a sap.

    I wonder what shipping would be lol

    We were planning on getting a new washing machine and dryer eventually, it just looks like it will be much sooner than we thought.  This weekend would probably be a good time to buy one though, right?  I'm sure Home Depot and Lowes will have a lot of sales for the holiday weekend.

    edited July 2014
    Free time this summer is about to be filled with renovating my MIL's kitchen.
    We ran errands with her yesterday and she almost bought a pool to put in her yard. That we would have to rip up some plants from, possibly tear down a tree, clear, then prep for the pool. Ugh... No. As much as I would like to be abl to swim whenever, that's too much work for right now. She says she would love it, but that's because she would be watching us do the work, not actually doing it herself.

    I would think so.  Maybe I can convince J with the "steals" that now's the time to buy :)

  • I saw Cher last night, and didn't get home until 1:30. In bed by 2, and back up at 5. I'm a zombie today. 

    On top of that, our payroll department at work is infuriating me. The guy who processes it keeps sending emails to my boss, trying to catch me in a mistake. I make mistakes like any other human, but I don't make them often, and I don't make BIG mistakes, Mr. You-Just-Just-Paid-40-People-Wrong. 

    Also, my ankle and the top of my foot are swollen and I can barely walk, and I can't remember doing anything to injure it.

    That being said, Cher was fabulous. 68 years old and swinging from a chandelier, emerging from a trojan horse, and rocking the shizz out of her "Turn Back Time" costume.

  • I work until midnight tonight. Then DH will pick me up from work and we're driving through the night to Virginia to visit friends for the long weekend. Excited for sure but nervous about driving through the night. I'm a night owl and don't usually go to bed till 3 or 4 am anyway but driving is totally different. I have the first 5 hour shift if driving and DH has the 2nd.

  • Our downstairs air conditioner went on strike.  The part that the guy needs is nowhere to be found, and it's 90 degrees with rain forest humidity outside.  

    And the kicker?  The part costs $600.  A replacement unit is $700, but the cost of labor for replacing the whole shebang is a huge difference than just replacing the part.

    Sometimes I miss renting.

  • My MIL is at my house and I am avoiding her at my sister's right now. MH went off shore fishing today and she said she didn't mind that he wouldn't be home, she would just hang out with me. Newp. We left her a key and said see you whenever we make it back home.

  • Make you Mine FINALLY became available through the library this morning and it had perfect timing as I finished my other book last night.
    @taylormillgirl‌

    Then I left my kindle at work on the charger this evening >_<

    I am a sad panda.

    @Young_Love‌ have fun! I LOVE Berlin probably my favorite international city. Paris is fantastic. What I remember of Copenhagen was really neat (but I was 10). And I am jealous of Prague. I was supposed to get there but a freak storm stopped our train for a day and we didn't make it.
