Re: Wacky Wednesday

  • 1) What's got your goat lately?  Being at work....I am so incredibly bored today.  Makes me miserable oh and the cold rainy day doesn't help either.  I need to start playing the lotto :)

    2) What is making you happy right now?  Knowing I get to leave at 2 today instead of 5.  Even though it's not for anything fun (son's dr appt) at least it makes me a little happier thinking it won't be such a long afternoon.

  • 1) What's got your goat lately?  Coworker drama.  So sick of it.

  • 1) What's got your goat lately? Another vote for work.  I am leaving on Sunday for 2 months and so far am only planning to come home once.  I'm trying to get another trip home worked in, but it's not looking like it's going to happen. It's making me a little angry and antsy and weird, which is not my norm for work trips. Plus everyone has waited until the last possible second to prepare so I am probably going to work late Friday and some on Saturday.

    2) What is making you happy right now? The thought of the amazing Mexican food I will be consuming way too much of while I'm gone for work.  I've been dreaming of rolled tacos and guac since I was there in January. Oh, and In N Out.  Yessss.

  • @sfgiantsjo one of my best trips to Disney was during the Food and Wine Festival and there was so much we still didn't get to do.  I want to go back and do a splurge trip one day too.  Sounds like so much fun!

    2) What is making you happy right now?  I had an awesome weekend in Jersey visiting a close friend who put a lot of things into perspective for me.  I came home feeling better than I have in weeks.

  • 1) What's got your goat lately? Co-irkers. Big time.

    2) What is making you happy right now? I'm on vacation in just 2.5 days! We're having a quiet weekend at home, heading to a resort in Muskoka for a couple of days (just MH and I) then swinging around to grab the kiddo and heading to Blue Mountain for a day or two. When that's all done, we'll head home for THANKSGIVING! :)

  • 1) What's got your goat lately? I'm gloomy in general, mostly because I'm about to hit a milestone marker in my ttc journey that hurts.

    2) What is making you happy right now? It's October now.  And I love October and fall.  And I love the progression of all.  I say this to so many people, but I love how Halloween happens, and then it flows into Thanksgiving, which flows into Christmas.  I just love the whole progression of the season.

  • 1) What's got your goat lately? Getting in shape.  Weight loss would be nice, but my main goals are to built endurance, flexibility, and strength.  I want a body that can DO things.

    2) What is making you happy right now?  Seeing huge improvement in what I can do physically AND losing some weight/inches.

  • Getting your goat, not what is your goal.  Can you tell I'm on day two of a migraine?

    Getting my goat is the migraine that is killing my brain functioning.

    I make the schedule for all other tech's and it's shocking to me that people can not work their schedule. I understand emergencies or sudden things might appear, I don't understand that when one says they're available on Friday, why when I put them on the schedule for Friday do they do everything not to work it. DON'T tell me you're available!! Ahhhh end rant. But seriously, people it's a job not a vacation where you earn money.
    2) What is making you happy right now?
    I started a new spin class on Saturday and I LOVED it. I'm really obsessed, even though I thought I would die that day, I'm really excited to go back. Also, I was stressing about wedding plans and my hair and makeup girl came through for about half the cost I thought....so excited!

    That's how I feel whenever in I'm in my spin class that incorporates weights.  I LOVE it, but I also hate it and think I'm going to die.

    Yes, it had weights too! It was supposed to be a beginner class, but my friend who went with me has taken other spin classes and she had trouble keeping up too. Still excited to go again....and die a little lol

    1) What's got your goat lately?
    My SIL has had me watch my nephew for the past two days (and tomorrow too) because she had work. I am NOT being paid. Except I was running to the store with him and saw her in a parking lot parked next to someone and talking. And I found out from my BIL (DH's brother) that she didn't have work and was just apparently wanting time away from her kid. 

    I would have totally taken him yesterday so she could have a break, but I had to take today and tomorrow off of work (technically I rescheduled clients, so I'll still see most of them, but still). And now she's not answering the phone and he's running a fever and acting like he doesn't feel well.

    This is a habit of hers. She pulls this a lot. I once watched him for four days and found out she'd lost her job a week before that. She just didn't want to deal with him. I'm just frustrated with it all.

    This is not to say that parents don't deserve a break every now and then. They absolutely do. But this is crazy.


    2) What is making you happy right now?
    If he's feeling better tomorrow we're going to the apple orchard nearby to pick apples and go on a hayride. :)
