    If I see this dress ONE MORE TIME on my FB feed, I'm putting my FB account on pause.

    That dress looks white and gold.  The fire alarm has been going off in our building for the last 1/2 hour.  There isn't a fire.  I'm about ready to stab myself in the ears with pencils.

    We have a couple solo bathrooms.  I do pushups in there on my bathroom breaks!  (I put paper towels under my hands)  Sometimes I'll do squats too!

    I have no idea what the deal is with the dress picture. No FB for me. 

    I do squats and sometimes a little yoga in my little office. Not nearly as often as I should though.

    Also, I think I am going to get a concealed carry permit.

    My jeans are a wee bit too tight. I'm sitting at my desk with them unbuttoned.

    I do yoga in my office too! Only had a walk-in once where things were awkward and I had to explain -lol-

     

    Other confession: I am REALLY into YA books. I know I'm wayyy too old for high school/early college-aged characters but it's one genre I can't seem to get away from. I'm almost done with "The Fault In Our Stars" now and my next in the queue is Jamie McGuire's latest in the Beautiful Disaster/Maddox Brother series.

    Got it.

    I'm new to the board and didn't read the hundreds of prior discussions to know that.

    Confession: I secretly like when my DH has to work on the weekends that I'm off so I can sit home with my pup and drink wine while watching Grey's Anatomy/Switched at Birth marathons on Netflix instead of doing real life stuff. This freezing cold winter has turned me into a hibernator.

    The loudest human on the planet works two offices down from me. Today she's wearing noise-cancelling headphones. The irony is not lost on me.

    When I go on vacation, I make a vacation "bible", with calendars, and confirmations, printed google maps, tickets,  passes,  and anything I might possibly need in plastic sheet protectors in a report cover, in chronological order. I need it to be paper - an actual physical thing, not in my phone or digital.  My husband jokes about "THE BOOK". 

    I am completely OCD and ridiculous about it as I make it. And it really is useful. However, I am not at all tied to it once we are actually on the vacation. I don't mind changing anything up, and we definitely don't have to "stick" to the calendar. It just makes me feel better that it's there, and I can find information if I need it.  I'm finalizing our book today, and I am totally in my happy place.

    I've taken naps at work more than once when the quiet room is free.
