Third Person Tuesdays...
ahhh... (yes, I 'forgot' last week)...
THIRD PERSON TUESDAYS
The good, the bad, the ugly...
OR
The good, the better, the awesomest!
Third person... !
Re: Third Person Tuesdays...
Ok...
The good-Lorelai's happy that she just got new sneaks! She's hoping it helps with her running and she can really get into it again...
The bad-Lorelai thinks she p!ssed off her immediate boss. No-she KNOWS she did... and L should have told bosslady she was talking to upper-boss man, but L's having an interesting day with the silent treatment... which is making her think...
The ugly-Lorelai's been doing a ton of thinking lately-thinking she's just stressed a wee bit too much-self, work, etc. She's just got to stop the thinking part and do the doing part...
Hudys doesn't have a ugly or a best so she's just doing the middle range.
The Bad - Hudys allergies are killing her. WTF she's never had allergies before but this year is killer. She's sure the fact that SC is having the worst allergy season it's ever had is not helping her.
The Good - Hudys got a raise! She is so happy becasue she wasn't sure her company would give raises this year.
The Better - Hudys has had a great past several days with her DH. They have been able to go out with friends and have fun, to pick up some old hobbies they did together, and to just genuinely enjoying each other. Hudys is happy that work is finally under control and she can have personal time with her DH.
Karrey is on the other end of the rainbow so she is going to do the bad, the worst and the worstest.
The Bad - Karrey's brother is taking advantage of her kind heart and is driving her bananas. He moved in a week after Karrey and D moved into their new place and has been sucking them dry ever since. Karrey's brother claims to have no money for rent or other previously agreed upon arrangements but he spends his nights out with friends, barging in the house late at night waking everyone up and taking trips to see his married girlfriend. Karrey is at the end of her rope and is going to wind up hanging someone, him or herself.
The Worst - Karrey's marriage is suffering for several reasons. The D word has been tossed around a lot lately. She blames a lot of it on the above situation but is stuck between a rock and hard place about it. She hasn't been on much or willing to share alot because she feels that it is a private matter. Karrey's heart is heavy and hurting.
The Worstest - Infertility is killing Karrey's spirit and what is left of her soul. She has become a person she hates and is far too sensitive and insecure to handle it right now. Karrey lives on dreams and hopes but most, if not all of them have been crushed. Karrey needs a soft place to land but can't quite find it. Just typing this all out has brought her to tears.
The good- Stephanie is happy that monday is OVER, she really hates mondays.
The better- Stephanie is happy that it is raining this late in the season, it is great for her veggie garden and flowers
The awesomest!- Stephanie and her hubby get to go to Teatro ZinZanni for free on saturday! Its a burlesque type show with a 3 course dinner included.
The bad- Sierra has been suffering from allergies since saturday and it is not cool. Sierra's daddy is having some side effects from the medicine he's taking which is causeing him to get dizzy and kinda black out when he gets up to fast. Sierra would like to request some T&P for him if ya'll have some to spare.
The good- DH & Sierra are closeing on selling their house May 15th. Sierra is alittle nervous because they have to be out by then and Sierra and DH have done "0" packing so far. Sierra and DH must get on the ball!! But they did get the ok to start moving into the rent house.
The better- DH is getting his very own dog this weekend and Sierra is very excited for him, and the puppy!! YAY for puppies!!!
I'm so sorry everything is so rough for you right now. I'm thinking of you always, hoping things can get better.
The Best - Cassie will be out of here in six weeks!
The Good - Cassie's back really behaved itself this weekend. Keep it up!
The Bad - Horrific commute this morning. Cassie had to wait for three trains to go by before she could squeeze herself on and then was shoved by three different men because they either wanted to stand where she was standing or thought the crowd would magically dissipate if they got ahead of her. Thanks for f-ing up her back, d-bags. I hate men in this city.
The ugly - Cassie is running up against some walls getting on some form of birth control again. Some medical, some insurance, and some emotional. She needs to deal with it, but it's making her very stressed and upset. J is understanding, but she resents that this very big issue has to be her responsibility. It's not fair.
The Good - Janelle finally has a few days off from baseball! Woo Hoo! (Hence why she's been MIA...stupid job) Of course on her days of this week it's supposed to rain but she's not going to complain. A day off is a day off.
The Bad - Janelle has recently found out she has tendonitis in her thumb/wrist. The doctor gave her a pill form of something similar to cortizone but it's making it worse. Janelle will have to revisit the doctor to get a cortizone shot to see if that helps. If not, she's scared of what to think is next.
The Ugly - One word...Janelle! Ugh she saw a photo of herself from the other night and she needs to drop about 50 lbs.
The Good - my 2nd u/s this morning was good. The baby is measuring 12 weeks and so far is fine. S/he moved arms, hands and legs during the u/s. It was amazing! We also saw five fingers on each hand
We are excited to tell my in-laws the good news this weekend!
The Bad - I did not make any progress today on the translation I'm doing
I wasted two hours which is usually enough to translate two pages on some stupid paragraph that did not make any sense! I hate the guy who wrote it!!
The Ugly - nothing ugly.
Good- Lauren's cold is on the way out.
Better- Lauren has a veggie Subway sandwich for lunch, and surprisingly it sounds good to her.
Lauren wants Karrey to know she's thinking of her.
Hug. We're here for you, even if you don't want to talk specifics. I'm sorry things are so terrible for you right now. If you need anything, let us know.
the good - Ty's car insurance is replacing his GPS!
the better - Ty called out of work today to spend some time with Kristy since he's been working late
the best - Kristy found an awesome artist's 'come to jesus' book for Ty that has completely changed his outlook and attitude! This makes everyone happy
Kristy wants Lauren to know that she also loves subway veggie subs! especially since their meats seem to be more & more processed with every year...
Kristy sends hugs to Karrey
Cortizone shots can take up to a week to start working. They are extremely painful and will cause damage to you if you have to continually get them. I had a shot in my wrist and the pain from that almost made me throw up. If you get one tell them you want a prescription pain killer for atleast that night.
The Good - Athena's dr visit went well and there are three very nice follicles developing. She has to go back tomorrow for another check.
The Better - Athena's boss seems to be pretty understanding that she basically has dr appt's every day this week.
The Best - If tomorrow's appt goes well Athena and her DH will be making a baby on Thurs and Fri....unfortunately it will be in a sterile doctor office setting and not the old fashioned fun way but whatever works.
The Ugly - Big Fat Raspberries to DH's work. They are putting too much stress on him and right now Athena needs him to be stress free so her "The Best" will work out!!!!
Breanne wants Karrey to know she is thinking of her and sending good vibes her way.
Karrey is super excited about Athena's three follies!!!!!! She is crossing her fingers that this is IT!
The good- Kaitlyn and Matt are really working on getting their marriage back after having the most precious baby girl.
The bad- Kaitlyn just looked over all the house finaces and realized she and hubby are in more debt then she orginally thought.
The ugly- It is not looking good for Kaitlyn getting the job she interviewed for. It will be the 4th job she was looked over for and this makes her really angry.
Kaitlyn wants to give Karrey big hugs.
Janelle is slightly freaked now! But thanks for the heads up!
Athena thanks Karrey for keeping her fingers crossed. Athena is keeping her fingers, toes and eyes crossed that Karrey's future brightens up a bit.
The good: Breanne got the day off today b/c work is slow.
The better: Breanne went for her check up with the OB and all is well with both mama and baby JB.
The best: Breanne took advantage of her day off to spend the morning in Target doing the "in-person" registering. Without her DH. (She highly recommends this method.) Now Breanne has to check her registries for duplicates.
The awesome: Breanne's dad is coming in next weekend to help with repairing their siding, replacing some closet doors and other house projects before the baby comes. And if Breanne is lucky her parents will have ordered the crib and they can pick it up with her dad's truck while he is here.
Even more awesome: One of Breanne's BM is getting married in July in NY, (less than a month before JB is due, so Breanne can't go) but her BM's mom emailed while Breanne was on vacation and her friend's family is having a shower next weekend only 3 hours away, and Breanne is going! Double yay, she'll get to spend the night with her friend b/c John thinks its too far for her to drive there and back in one day.
