It's Monday blah! How was everyone's weekend?
Re: Monday Randoms
Happy 2011 Nesties!!!!
Weekend was kinda blah. NYE's we went over the SIL and made fajita's and watched the ball dropped. Were just not that into it as we used to be. I had one drink and we were home by 12:30am.
Today we have internet being installed at the office site and we will start aranging / cleaning things up as well. BTW... if anybody knows someone that is looking to lease desk space downtown let me know. We have a few spots to fill in.
Oven is still broken, we are waiting for the part to arrive and I don't think I've ever been so glad to have 2 large crock pots. Tonight I'm trying a egg noodle lasagna recipes I found on allrecipes.com
Back to reality.
At least we have T's party to look forward to.
My FIL got me a crock pot for Christmas, and was disappointed when he found out I already had one.
Ummm...trust me FIL, I will get plenty of use out of both!
Thank god I was just looking at my banking online. I have put my gym membership on hold until end of Feb. Well they knew that and were only charging a service charge. Now it looks like they are going to take out the full amount. Well I have left a nice little message and email. They better get it fixed.
Hi!
We had a pretty nice weekend. We had friends over on NYE which was fun. On Saturday, we mostly laid around, watched football, and recovered from NYE. On Sunday, I spent some time getting Christmas gifts put away and trying to get organized.
I'm not real happy to be "back to reality" though. The long winter is stretching out ahead of us and I'm feeling this need to plan... something.
GTG??? I don't think I've been to one since last Feb. and that was my first one.
Hey everyone
I'm feeling so tired this morning
I'm seeing a therapist for issues that I should have dealt with long ago, and I've started having nightmares.
Last night I was terrified of going to sleep. I was so upset about going to sleep and possibly having a nightmare that I was a sobbing mess and shaking like crazy.
I'm going to ask my therapist about the possibility of Xanax. I didn't have a nightmare last night, but I didn't sleep well at all. I was up constantly, tossing and turning. I probably never reached REM.
I'm exhausted right now. I just need a hug

Morning! I still have another week off... I'm planning on doing a lot of nothing and can't wait. I feel so relieved that the holidays are over!!
I just made 2 eggs with some toast and coffee. So simple, yet so perfect.
Hugs to you!
Nightmares like that sounds awful. I hope you feel better soon!
(((hugs))) That sounds horrible.
We looked at a table that we saw on CL on Friday, for sale for $400. We left to discuss our thoughts - I thought it was nice enough, H said he didn't want "another project." They table has a few scratches around the edges and the fabric seats of some of the chair looked a little dirty.
The owner bought the table from Art Van a few years ago and got the fabric protection plan. I believe if Art Van can't get the stains out, they replace them for free?
H said if we could get it for $300, then he'd do it. I just let it go.
She emailed me this morning asking my thoughts because someone else inquired about it. I offered her $250. Now I feel bad because it's so low and the table overall was very nice. (7 chairs, a leaf, pretty large table in decent condition - the scratches I could fix pretty easily, and we could always recover the fabric on the chairs if we couldn't get the stains out.)
I probably insulted her. Ha. Oh well.
I worked at ARt Van for 8 years. The fabric protection is only good if the customer calls and has a service tech come out. It is also only good for a single incident not for general overall cleaning.

Ok so I am officially bored at wk. Nothing to do. Lalalla
Anyone scrap booking this winter?
I need to start going through all my cds and getting rid of a lot of them.
I recently started therapy, and I agree it can be tough at times. I've gotten a lot of benefit as well, from the short time I've been doing it.
Good luck, and if you ever want, feel free to PM me.
As far as the nightmares, are you on an anti-depressant? I had to switch around until I found one that the side-effects were managable. I remember one of them was giving me wicked nightmares.
No, I'm not on meds, yet. Maybe in a couple months is when they want to start them.
Good luck with your therapy!
