Re: Good morning everybody!

  • I am considering performing oral on my neighbor for the deal he gave us on central air last summer.

  • I am unreasonably excited about the possibility of thunderstorms tomorrow through Saturday.

  • It's a pleasant 77 in my office. I should've brought my sleeping bag. I had the worst night of sleep ever last night.

  • Good morning! Feeling good after a bit of crying therapy and an excellent pep talk from the hubs last night. Yay! Just had a sit down with the boss to talk about my crazy to do list and she also managed to make me feel better. And tonight is girls night! Yay! In less cheerful news, I'm afraid I forgot deodorant this morning, but I'm really not sure. I've spent entirely too much of the last hour investigating my own armpit.

  • I think everyone has melted...  It hasn't been this quiet since, well, since I don't know when.
  • It is cloudy and rainy here with a predicted high of 66.

  • I'm embarrassed that I just "yayed" twice in my last post. Boo!
    image
  • It's currently drizzling here. I had contractions off and on all night last night though, so I didn't sleep much.

    image

  • I know I put on deodorant because I smell like apricots and it's making me hungry.

  • It's also surprisingly cooler here than up North and for that I am thankful.

    All I want to do is eat this morning...In the past hour I've had a bowl of jambalya, a bagel, and an apple.  I'm leaving for lunch in 10 minutes and I'm counting down the minutes.

  • Man, it's hot.  At least my office is cool.  A friend on fb said yesterday that her office has turned up the temp in her office in an effort to conserve energy, which sounds kind of unpleasant in the middle of a heat wave.

    I just called dc to see how Miles is doing and they were like, "oh, he's been good so far today.  He's at the show right now"  Apparently they are having a puppet show for the kids.  Rough life.

    . I'm also fairly food focused today. I keep thinking of the chicken and biscuits I made last night and salivating. And it's only 10 here.

  • I'm enjoying this bizarro weather and wearing two t-shirts and a jacket!  In July!

    Things have been weird with my mom lately and I just had a kind of fight with her on the phone.  I think she's lonely or bored but she is being so freaking annoying.

  • I have zero motivation this week. I have a new Marketing Director and it's kind of making things a pain in the arse. Mixing in new people to things that you've done over and over is a biitch. Thankfully the AC is working wonderfully.

    85 at 7 am.  Good times!  Can we get a thunderstorm please?

    My building is doing the same thing in the afternoon:  perimeter lights off, lowering air conditioning.  I'm guessing ConEd or the power authority or whatever is worried about overloading and rolling brownouts.  Good times!  A friend who works for a non-profit was sent home yesterday because her buildings AC went out.

    Well thanks Christin. Now I want chicken and biscuits. Or biscuits and sausage gravy.

  • My office is nice and cool, but earlier I walked about a half mile to an arbitration hearing, and back, and nearly melted.  Now I have to run up to court.

    But I know I put deodorant on this morning because when I left F told me I smelled nice.

    Or Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets and a chicken sandwich with cheese.  Thanks, Jerks.

  • or Ramen Noodles!
    Wait, what?
  • I just ate oreos for breakfast. I'm enjoying listening to Ethan's Led Zeppelin lullabyes on the monitor.

  • I just went out to get the mail and I might cancel my plans tonight just so I don't have to leave the AC again. I am such a baby when it comes to the heat, I hate it. I could never leave New England, at least this doesn't happen too often. You Southerners are hardcore.

    It actually hit me after I posted that you and the friend I mentioned work at the same place.  This weather reminds me of the 2003 blackout.  Fun times.

  • I want good pulled chicken in BBQ sauce.  And cake balls.

  • We lost power last night at 10pm so I am surprised I haven't melted. Lucy was scared of the total darkness apparently and insisted on being in bed with me, even though she has been spending most of her sleep time in her own bed.

    I am currently waiting confirmation from my H that power is indeed back on. He was going home to check.

    I had a dr appointment yesterday and got to see the babies. They are both head up and facing each other. They are also fist fighting. I have rowdy ones on my hands.

  • in order to pick up my kids I'm that a-hole who has to get gasoline during a smog alert. Sorry for contributing to poor air quality, Cincinnati.
    image Ready to rumble.
  • It's so cold in my office, I have my little heater on. I feel like a little spoiled brat. I never know what to wear on hotter than hell days. My train to work is absolutely frigid, as is my office. I'm really only outside for about 15 minutes a day...maybe a half hour.
    I'm wearing pantalones. And a short sleeve shirt.

  • I somehow got strep throat in the middle of the summer and am living on freezee-ice. 
  • oh no aliza!

    it is only 80 here so far, usually it is at least 90-95 by now. but the humidity is still like walking through soup.

  • One of my coworkers brought in homemade ice cream cakes that she wants us all to try.  I'm making a courageous effort to wait at least until lunch time before digging in, but I'm not sure I'll make it.
  • Damn pregnant people talking about food.  It's only 8:30 and I'm already craving lunch.  JERKS!

    Aliza, that sucks.  I am an expert on strep throat since I had it so often growing up.  I've found that if you eat something super duper hot (in temperature) feels the best.  It's like the pain from swallowing molten food cancels out the pins and needles sensation you get when you swallow while having strep throat.
