Good morning loverlies

Who's around today?  What are you up to?  I'm back to working from home on my 50 state legal survey.  Yay for homework!  Lots to do today.  I'm also watching Hoarders, so that should be productive.

Re: Good morning loverlies

  • I'm home today, essentially snowbound.  No car, the sidewalks are hit or miss, but the intersections are the worst and a no go for the stroller.  I may throw her in the carrier and walk to the store just for something to do later.

    I was watching Hoarders yesterday.  Today it's Toddlers and Tiaras.

    I really want to do something different with my hairs, but don't have a regular hairstylist I trust, so I'm scouring reviews online to try to find someone worth gambling on.  Thinking about a slightly longer than chin length layered bob.  Also thinking about going back to blond.

  • I'm at work, I realllly wish I had this week off. I shouldn't complain, it's pretty quiet here. But all I want to do is go shopping, I have some things to exchange and need to get a few things that were on my list that T forgot about :)  I also have a wicked bad headache, so that sucks.

  • I am home today as well.  I will be spending much of it doing laundry and reorganizing my closet.  I also plan on watching tv and enjoying my last few days of leisure.
  • I'm home, eating eggs with curry and chili sauce.

  • F and I are home today while Ian is at daycare.  We're planning to clean the basement and closets but at the moment we're watching Sportscenter and drinking coffee.  

    What's the legal issue you are surveying? 

     

  • I'm in work today for my only day this week.  I have the worst pains in my stomach, I assume it's gas.  TMI warning: Yesterday morning I spent from 1 - 2 am in the bathroom doing nothing but trying to get rid of the pain in my stomach, I was seriously considering the ER.  I also was convinced I was soon going to be on the show I didn't know I was pregnant, the pain was so bad I can only compare it to labor, I was concerned I was going to give birth to my surprise baby in the toilet.  All I managed to do was throw up.  The pain is still there but not nearly as bad as it was.

  • I'm at work, doing nothing.  It's going to be a slap in the face when there are actually people here next week and I have to be here on time, stay all day, look presentable, and do shiit.

    cmc, I'm itching to shop too.  I want to spend my Christmas monies but I'm waiting until one store comes out with their spring 2011 catalog.  Which should have happened yesterday.  Dammit.

    I'm afraid I'm not going to find any good deals. I remember so many stores being practically bare after Christmas last year.

  • Wow Mashed.  That really sucks.  Food poisoning maybe?

    Kay - I'm working on a 50 state survey of laws related to payment of wages and payroll.  Fun.  I also need to finalize my research/report on the federal laws on the issue.  Blah boo.  My one compliant about leaving a law firm is not having Westlaw.  My company would never pay for it, and I don't necessarily think it would be logical for us to do so.  I just miss it.

  • Hidy ho. I'm home with the kids today so not much will happen in the way of productivity. I want to put away all my Christmas decor. And fire up the new steam mop. Man, I'm a gas. Mashed, it's not your appendix is it? Have you tried gas x?
    image Ready to rumble.
  • I also want to shop.  I got two major gifts from D.  I got a new dishwasher, which we've been going back and forth on getting a new one for ages, so him actually pulling the trigger was a very exciting thing for me, even if it is more "household item" than "Christmas present."  He also got me a really nice food processor, which I've been asking for, and a couple David Sedaris books, which I thought was lovely because I didn't think he really paid attention to what authors I like.  So, very sweet.  But I feel the need to go out and buy some clothes, scarves, jewelry, music, DVDs.

  • Bummer -- if it was a tort survey,  I thought I could help you with the RI portion.  However, I know nothing of wage and payroll laws.
  • Nope, but thanks!  The annoying thing is that a lot of states seem to not have provisions specific to what I'm looking for.  Which is kind of annoying. It's much harder to be certain when you can't find anything.  I can't exactly put in my chart "I didn't find anything, so it's probably not there."  How about, "I don't think there's a law about this in New Jersey, but I don't know because I went to TJ Maxx."

  • Yikes, Mashed, that is no fun. T had a terrible bout of indigestion/gas last week and he was doubled over in pain, almost considering going to the ER. Never threw up or had "other end" issues. Just started to feel better the next day.

  • Oh mashed, I hope you feel better quickfast!  And that it's just gas.

    Is it like under your diaphragm, more to the right?  Do you still have a gall bladder?

  • Thanks cmc!

    Mashed, that sucks. Sometimes really bad heartburn feels like that to me. I hope you progressively feel better.

    I want to shop too. I was teased with the prospect of gift certificates for Christmas but I was lied to.

  • I'm back to work after 6 days off.  I caught a killer cold leading up to Christmas and had 3 sick days last week.  

    Had a great Christmas, though, Lila was really excited about it all and we had a ton of fun with her.  Some Xmas Xerpts

    We listened to her talk to herself outside the bedroom for a bit, her stocking was on her chair and a Chrismas mickey and Minnie were in her crib.  She talked about Santa and kissmas and then sang a little jingle Bells before we went in,

    upon entering her room Christmas morning "mewwy kissmas, Dad.   mewwy kissmas mom....Mommy I POOPED" Of course the damned video camera wasn't on yet.

    upon arriving at the Dr's office for my prenatal appt yesterday "MOM ALLIGATOR!" "where, Lila, mommy doesn't see it"  "ALLIGATORALLIGATORALLIGATOR" it wasn't until we were inside and we were right infront of the elevator that i realized what she was talking about.

  • I had that last week Mashed - terrible stomach pains and then I eventually threw up and felt much better.  There is all kinds of nasty stuff going around here...let's hope yours was just a quick bug and will be gone pronto!

    I am the office physically but mentally I'm far far away.  DH is off work all week and it suuuuucks getting up in the morning when he's still snoozing all warm and comfy.  :-(   BUT, he's getting a lot done around the house so yay!

  • I still have all of my organs, I was thinking appendix but since it's gotten a bit better and didn't seem to favor the right side I'm guessing that's not it.  I did try some gas-x but it didn't seem to do anything.  I'll just wait it out, either I'll get better or explode.

    Same here. I hate it! But I can't complain...he got me a new car radio for Christmas, and took it to get installed yesterday. Yay for no longer sitting in silence while driving all about!

    *cracks knuckles, opens WestLaw in one tab and LexisNexis in another*

    What, you mean they aren't free with unlimited usage to everyone?

  • Hear that guys.  I think PDXria just volunteered to do my research using her fancy schmancy Westlaw!

  • I'm here for a little. My parents and sister are up until Sunday but we are just hanging out right now. We have some plans to visit relatives/friends they haven't seen the next few days, so I am okay with that.

    I've also been having some pains in my right side for a few days, especially when I sleep on that side. I am attributing it to things stretching right now, but it's kind of high (under the ribs) and near the back of my right side. It comes and goes, and it's more of a nuisance than anything, so I haven't done anything about it (i.e. called the doc). *sigh* I probably should though.

    I have this too but it's my left side. Other than that it's exactly how you describe. Up high and to the back. It's such a weird thing. It was really bad this morning but has gone away this afternoon. That is really weird. I've been feeling generally crappy for a few days but this is the one thing that I can pinpoint rather than just a general feeling of blah and ick.
