  • I have a blood draw at 6PM and I have to fast for 8 hours.  I'm going to be so fucking hangry by 6.

    Oh that is not cool. I would totally draw your labs for you. WTH does it have to be 6pm? I hope you're taking a snack with you to eat immediately. I mean while they're taking the tourniquet off. Lots of water today, maybe think of it as a cleanse? Good luck!

    It's an at home thing for insurance. We didn't even think about fasting when we made the appointment.  I just thought the time would be convenient.  Turns out it is very much not.

    6 PM?!  Who does a blood draw where you have to fast throughout the entire day?  That is terrible.

    I had blood drawn yesterday.  My blood pressure was up and I'm pretty sure it was because of it.  I imagine it would have been much higher if they made me go all day without eating.

    That sucks @SnShne322! I would be super hangry too!

    I have a job interview today. I am not as nervous as I probably should be.
  • Today is my first day in front of a room of 23 college upperclasspersons.  I'm nervous!!  I'm going to make DH take a cheesy photo of me with a 1st day of school plaque that I can post on FB in the hope that some silliness will chill me out.

    OMG I wish I would have thought of this for my first day back at school this year. 

    Good luck!

  • I normally go out with my friends for "Wino Wednesdays" every week. Last night, I skipped it to get my hair done. I feel SO hungover today. WTF, I didn't drink a drop. I think this is my body telling me a little wine each week is good for it.

  • Bought Frozen on Ice tickets today to dissuade my mother a little while longer from trying to get us to take a trip to Disney. As much as I love it, the kids are still too young. I, on the other hand could totally use a "drink around the world" Epcot expedition...

    Going to my alma mater for the season's first football game tonight. Go Huskies!

    I have narrowed it down to about 20 options.  And I have a further 10 or so outfits for the clambake on the beach for the night before the wedding.  

    A bit much????

  • Say Something has been stuck in my head for days. Even though it's been out forever, I feel like it's haunting me.  It's on every station I turn on.

    That and I find the singer to be dorkishly adorable.

    We aren't going on a trip next week that we have already paid for.  My husband got some well paying work for the next 3 weeks and it's typically the slow season, so we decided to skip the trip in favor of it. 
    We are both a bit upset, especially because it was going to be a combined birthday trip kind of thing. 
    Buuuuut...I convinced him that we should get one of the discontinued winter village lego sets (its like twice the price it was when it came out now) for our lego winter village collection to make it up to me.

  • I think there should be a special place in hell for people who post vague social media statuses. JUST STATE YOUR EFFING BUSINESS! Obviously you want people to know and have an opinion or give you some sympathy so just say it! Drives me absolutely bonkers.
    Jeebus, yes! Vaguebooking drives me insane!

    It reeks of desperation and the need for negative attention.

    I have to physically restrain myself from messaging any person who responds to vaguebooking telling them to STOP ENCOURAGING THEM.

    Nothing speaks louder than the absence of little red notification icons.
