Wacky Wednesday

I'm so tired, I can't think of anything. So let's do this:

1) What's annoying you recently?

2) What is making you happy recently?

Re: Wacky Wednesday

  • Hmmmm....
    1) I'm exhausted all the time no matter what I do to try to help it.

    2) DH and I just celebrated our 10 anniversary and it has been fun to look at how we've grown over the last 10 years together.

  • 1. Not much.

    2. We may be downsizing our home, which is super exciting to me. We would potentially be moving into a 1600 sq ft home on 35 acres from a 2350 sq ft home on 2 acres. Less house, more land. It's just DH, DS, and I. We really don't need all of this space and would love to have more land and live a little more simply.

  • 1) I'm not satisfied with my job, I feel like it's not worthwhile and meaningful.  It may be time for a life change.  

    2) DH and I laughed long and hard last night for no apparent reason, we've been doing that a lot lately.  Things for us have been going well and we've matured as a couple.  It just makes me happy.

  • 1) What's annoying you recently?
    My mom. I love her to death but she's treating me like I will surely be on death's door if I so much as step outside of the house. I know I've had a bunch of horrible health scares lately and she's nervous but CAN I LIVE? 

    2) What is making you happy recently? Feeling better! And my reading funk is over. I've been devouring my TBR list all week.

  • 1) What's annoying you recently?  Everything.  At this moment it is a bitchy co-worker who has the least amount of work to do but throws a fit when asked to do anything extra.

    2) What is making you happy recently?  Ummm, MIL has been coming over once a week to see DD.  Normally that would annoy me but it's so nice to have DD entertained so I can get things done.  Last night I was even able to read for a while.

    I'm super annoyed that it is taking me forever to print a document that should have taken 10 seconds. I'm about to go all Office Space on this piece of crap! Also, the medication the doctor prescribed for the nerve pain in my foot does NOT work and just makes me sleepy.

    I'm happy that, for all the frustrations I have, I really love my job. It's the first time I can say that honestly.
    image
  • 1) What's annoying you recently?  Food.  Mainly my desire to eat it all, and to eat it all the time.  The weather.  Certain people.  Work (but mainly just the fact that I have to do it).  Waking up late.  

    2) What is making you happy recently?  Ummmm......
    90 books in 2015?

  • 1) I haven't been reading as much as I would like to in the last couple weeks. That always makes me grumpy.


    2) I went to an amazing book sale on Sunday, and bought books, and hung out with my mom and my sister, and went to the mac and cheese restaurant for dinner. It was a fabulous day. And it was totally random, because I had no idea this amazing thing was happening in San Francisco, Hoycie had to tell me about it from Florida! I mean look, you guys!

    Ummm, excuse me? A mac & cheese restaurant?! All of my money would be spent there.

  • 1.  Have close to zero self control with food in the house.  If I have crappy food in the house...I eat it.  So I have to have self control in the store to have self control in the house...and I hate that.

    2. Next week my husband and I are taking a belated 5th anniversary trip.  We are biking the C&O canal tow path.  I am so excited!

    OMG, this is my happy place. http://homeroom510.com/menu/  Seriously. My favorite isn't on that menu - Trailer Mac. Mac and cheese with Neiman Ranch hot dogs, and topped with crushed potato chips. Sinfully good.

    YES. I haven't booked it yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you know. I'm waiting for my doctors to give me clearance.

    1) What's annoying you recently? my commute to pick up the boys and get to work is such a haul. It's like 3 hours of my day. We chose this school when my husband worked super close to it, and could do almost all of the drop off and I could do pick up, but his new job is all the way on the other side of town so I am the sole dropper offer and picker upper now. But I'm happy with the school and the care the boys get, so I shouldn't complain too much.   

    2) What is making you happy recently?
    Binge watching The Walking Dead after the boys go to sleep. I think this is one of my all-favorite TV series ever.  I am obsessed and spend way too much time thinking about the fictional characters on this show.

  • 1) Annoying: Allergies
    2) Happy: All the trees have little buds or little leaves or little flowers. I LOVE when everything comes back to life after winter. *happiness*

    1.  Annoying--traffic, the heat and humidity we are already experiencing, my kid's terrible attitude this week.

    2.  Happy--Um.  The glass of wine I'm currently drinking?  The fish tacos I just ate?  That's about all I got.  OH!  The splurges at Ulta today.  Thank you 20% off coupon.
