1. Tonif is really irking me. I realize this may not be a huge revelation, but she bugs. She is making me feel all protective of Fenton, when I know that Fenton is just sitting back drumming her fingers together muttering "exxxxcellent" much in the tone of Monty Burns.
2. We are expecting an offer to come in on our place tonight. My brain keeps alternating between "SQUEEEEEEE," and "this is going to suck...the offer is going to be crap...we will be stuck in a two bedroom condo for the rest of our lives...." Regardless, I feel like I am going to vomit. If you happen to have any Charmin available, I could sure use a square or two.
So, how you doin'?
Re: randoms
Vinny, I hope you get a great offer. Lots of TP. I buy at Costco.
Random: I added something to my to do list that I have already done just so I would have the satisfaction of checking something else off the list. I like check marks.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Lots of toilet paper headed your way for a good offer! It could be worse - my friend is stuck in a 2 bdrm condo with three kids (a 3 yr old and 11 month old twins) - The twins sleep in one bdrm, the 3-yr old in the other, and she and her H sleep in the living room.
Some of the people on Buying a Home make goofy decisions. I'm totally judging them.
I want chocolate.
I'm just disappointed that the worst tonif can dish out are lame fat jokes to someone who isn't remotely fat (although it wouldn't be very interesting even if Fent was a fatcake). Boooooooring.
Congrats on the pending offer! Even if it's crap, it's still an offer! That counts.
I have a stupid meeting today, and I hate meetings. There's a game on adult swim called 5 Minutes To Kill Yourself, and I guess the concept is you have 5 minutes to kill yourself to get out of a meeting. That's exactly how I feel.

I got dressed this AM without thinking about pumping. So I have to hoist my dress over my boobs to pump. So I'm basically sitting on an exercise ball in my underwears pumping. It's good stuff.
Nest this. But I didn't wear a dress today. And I don't pump. And I'm on a chair. Oy.

Nothing went right today.
Had a water leak, didn't know till we got a $500 bill the other day vs the normal $70. Plumber came, "fixed" toilet but then also cracked it. Today he comes and with his fixing then cracking, that's a cool $900. Oh, and no toilet for now and now we have to research f'ing toilets to see if buying one ourselves would be cheaper....long stupid story of options but thinking about toilets was not on my radar before the past few days.
I tried to print an exchange form several times for something I have to send back via ups and my printer will not print.
I went to the supermarket and I didn't have my credit card. Had to go home and get it and go back because I had no milk for E. I bought a big bottle of Asti Spumante that I plan to drink with dinner tonight for "Mom's night out".
My mother's helper has finger pain and homework and can't come here so I can get ready to go out....not a big deal but just add it to the list.
TP for you Vinny!
lol at "finger pain" to not be able to babysit? Weird.
My AW random - I've been at the same firm for 11 years and am thinking about going to work for a client (CFO position). I just told them what I was expecting salary-wise and they didn't flinch (I GAVE THEM A RANGE THAT WAS $50 - $70K MORE THAN I MAKE NOW). I should get an offer next week. I am so excited and nervous that I have had diarrhea twice today (at work! gross).
$50-70K IS MORE THAN WHAT I MAKE NOW. WHAT THE FUKC DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?

Ugh, I need a new career.
I just told my H he should go back to school for accounting. Maybe I'll show him your post!
Oh, and good luck! I'm so rude.

I feel like I should DD it because its AW and because there might be a lurky loo in my office, but it goes against my knot ethics.
and thanks
How would your coworker even find this board? (Um, ignore the 1,006 Groomzian post counts.)
Congrats! That's a huge freaking deal!
Bob, stop complaining about library work. You're making me reconsider my life plan, but the only other thing I'd want to do is teach history which is even worse monies.
Or own a plant nursery/bakery/cafe/wine shop. But I'd need capital and a plan other than "wouldn't it be neat?"

Go katie! That's amazing.
I am sending my toilet papers to you and Vinny.
I am feeling kind of weird about my doctor visit yesterday. She decided that the fact that I couldn't move my arm last week was an overuse injury (even though I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary), and that all of my other joint pain and abnormal blood tests weren't anything to be concerned about. I mean, that's what I want of course, but she was just so dismissive of everything else. And kind of a biitch. I wasted a half day off of work for nothing.
Also, I got another (false) positive syph test. My fourth. Always fun.
The nerve!

I just bumped into the wall coming out of the bathroom. Then my foot got caught in my pant leg and I fell on my face.
I'm beginning to think I should take my doctor up on her ENT referral recommendation.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Good luck Katie! However, I am sitting on Bob's couch of seething jealousy.
SB, that is so irritating. Dismissive doctors are so frustrating. My sister went through months of tests after she had a scan that showed a large growth on her kidney. After all of the tests, they were like, "Oh, no growth here. Nothing's wrong. Bye bye." Ummmm, really? What about the baseball sized growth you saw?
I have another random. This:
http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/42582375.aspx
is strange to me. Why on earth would you need to drive 2 hours each way to visit family, twice a month, with a sick kid, when you are already at the end of your rope?
SB has syphilis! I bet you got it from a toilet seat.
I do think you need to dump your doctor. You shouldn't see somebody who you don't feel good working with.
wkatie, that is amazing news! I'll cross my labia for you.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
Yeah, luckily this lady is not my regular doctor. My PCP wanted me to follow up with him after this appointment, so if he wants me to see a rheumatologist again, I'm going to ask for a different one. This lady seemed to think that as long as I could walk, I was a-okay.
I have learned to expect the news of the syph. Brett predicted that I'll go crazy and start murdering prostitutes soon.
The nerve!

The rheumatologist explained the syphilis thing by saying it doesn't mean I have an autoimmune disorder right now, just that I have a genetic predisposition to have one. Which really didn't make me feel much better.

This is one of the things I was referring to on Buying a Home.
Some autoimmune disorders cause you to show up positive on an initial syphilis test. High sensitivity, low specificity. The follow up test is more specific.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
I left my housekeepers a not to ask them to come every week. I fail at life.
I remember finding out I didn't have The Syph when I was being checked out for Lupus. Of course my doc forgot to tell my she was testing me for syph and I was PEEESED

Aww, HT. No need to feel bad. Thank you for the kind words regarding my shameful secret syph. It's not that big a deal, but a big frustration. I just feel like it's odd that she was pretty much like "suck it up" about things that really should not be normal for my age.
This is why they're testing me at this point. The first two came from blood donation, but now they're just doing the test to see how I react to it.
The nerve!

I have a 3rd interview today and I'm a bundle of nerves.
