Weekly Goals!!

Alright ladies-- weekly goals time! Lets hear em!

I would like to hit the gym 4 times this week- either running or spinning! 

I would also like to NOT polish off the box of chocolate cupcakes sitting in my kitchen : )

Re: Weekly Goals!!

  • I'm gonna say that for me it is just going to be 1. I'm going in the morning, and then Tuesday we go on the honeymoon.. so I'll probably gain a couple of pounds there, haha.

  • I want to try and get at least some form of exercise at least 2-3 times this week, and cook dinner on all three days off.
  • CLEAN the apartment!
  • Gym 2-3 times by end of this week.

    Find 2 lamps for end tables in our livingroom.

    Weed front garden area.

    Research hotel for Newport later this month.

    And that's it.

  • Go for a run 3x this week.

    Find a dog sitter for when we're on our HM.

    Paint the pantry door, and the basement door (we got new ones, right now they're still plain and covered in plastic)

  • Run 3x

    Do Pilates once (one of my more challenging DVDs)

    Ah dang... I forgot that we're house/dog sitting for one of HH's coworkers. Well, those are still my goals, whether or not I'm able to meet them!

  • I don't have any weekly goals... I need to think on a much smaller scale... Here's my MONDAY goal:

    Just let me get through the freakin day without stapling any documents to anyone's forehead... pretty please??  Today is definitely a Monday, and it feels like one of those days where I'm going to snap on someone.  Look, if you can't walk down and get your own damn printer paper when you can see that my desk is completely covered in things to do, then get the hell out of my office.

  • Stu, what is it that you do again?

  • My job title is Administrative Specialist II... basically I'm a glorified secretary for the government.  I do a lot of HR/payroll type stuff.  I make sure that everyone in my division (about 120 employees) gets paid.  I input their labor, overtime requests, comp time requests, I send out their security clearances when they have to visit other military bases.  I help in-process new employees and set them up for training and to get their badges, etc.  Basically, just a lot of admin stuff, but everyone comes to me for EVERYTHING.

  • Lets face it, they are just looking for an excuse to stand in front of your desk and talk to you!

  • Clean my house and get some form of exercise.

  • haha... that's probably true for some of them!!!  But I work with a bunch of male engineers (no offense to any of you engineers out there), and the majority of them are SUPER-weird and can't do anything for themselves.  It's annoying.  Some guy came in my office a little while ago while I'm typing up a storm (and not on the nest, surprisingly) to tell me that there isn't any printer paper.... I tell him where it is so he could go get some... His response "That's ok, I'll just steal some from another printer and then you can go get some more whenever you're not busy..."  I'm serious, I WILL cut you!!!

  • I have a history of dating engineers (two of my four serious boyfriends) so I totally know what you're getting at...the majority of them (like 97%) are sooo weird.  The other 3% are normal, but it's painful hanging out at engineering socials.

    LOL!! "Engineering social" sounds like an oxymoron. My mom was a mechanical engineer, so I've met my share. One of my good friends is an engineer, and she tells some stories about some of her coworkers...

    haha... it's true!!  I work in the Engineering Directorate of my organization, and I just can't imagine these people in social situations at all.  They'll come in and tell jokes or something and they are cracking up because they think it's so hilarious... I start laughing just because it's so NOT hilarious, but they think it is.

  • When my crazy ex-bf was taking engineering in university (different guy than my high school engineering bf) we used to talk about the "engineering-hot" girls in his classes.

    Basically, there were like 3 girls in his classes, and 50 guys.  All the guys would go completely nuts over these girls, and the girls would walk around thinking they were super awesome, because they were getting all this attention.  My ex-bf and I dubbed them as "engineering-hot"...they were the hot girls because they were the ONLY girls. 

    We compared this to the "psych hot" and "Bio hot" girls.  (I took Psych, as did hundreds of other girls...so if you were hot in Psych class, you were actually really hot.  Same with Bio.)   Engineering hot girls wouldn't stand up next to Psych hot girls.

  • speaking of engineer-hot... every time we get a new girl at work, Adam will jokingly ask me "is she hot?"  and I laugh.  I brought him to work one day with me when I had to run into the office to finish something up before we left for vacation or something and he was like "where are all the girls???"  Um, there aren't any.

  • My goals get to the gym 3x this week. Don't know why it is so hard to do since the wedding. Before the wedding that was easy.

    2nd ugh to not take a pregnancy test before Saturday. I don't have a clue if I am or not I really have my doubts and I know it is silly there is no point until Saturday because by then I should know without taking one.  Sigh...

    Not to kill my oldest child or the stupid loser 21 year old that keeps trying to call her. But on the same token to make sure all my kids know I love them every day.

    Yeap thats about it!  

     

  • Pamila, not that I am advocating for a 21 year old man dating a 17 year old girl, because I'm not...but I'm just curious if it's just the age difference that is bothering you, or if he is a skeezebag for other reasons?  I'm curious just because I've never dated guys the same age as me...HH is about 3.5 years older than me, and even my high school boyfriend was 2 years older than me (to the week!).  I have dated someone 8 years older than me.  I know that this is your daughter and your business, so you can tell me to stay out of it...it's just curiosity on my part :)

  • Oh its that he is a 21 year old without a job, a car and is now officially homeless. He is a total skeezebag as you put it. My exhusband actually tried to help him. If it was a guy that has ANYTHING going for him and wasn't getting my daughter to buy him cigarettes and whatever else I would be ok with it. But he is totally Eddie Hascal from Leave it to Beaver. All nice infront of the parents but a total loser.  
  • Oh that is painful.  What does she see in him?  Or is this something she's doing to piss you off?  (I was good at that when I was a teenager)
    Lilypie First Birthday tickers
  • Anything she says he does for her. Heck if she says I am to tired to walk he will pick her up and carry her. He spoils her in all ways a 17 year old would love other than taking her out on dates and stuff like that which she should be enjoying at that age. Its not to piss me off and i do understand her feelings I really do but he just has nothing to offer her and no prospects either I think he needs to join the military and get him self into something that can go somewhere if he does that and comes back and she still wants him I will talk but until then she needs to concentrate on school and preparing herself for her future whatever that maybe.
