TGIF
Rants/Raves?
Also, are we all going to abandon ship soon here or what? Where is everyone?
Re: TGIF
I'm here. This is one of the few sites my new job doesn't block. However the collective goal isn't apparent and maybe that's why we're having trouble getting our groove.
Rant: Don't want to work this weekend and certainly don't want to be out on business all next week presenting. Stressful! And I miss my DH. We still haven't had a chance to relax since the wedding and just be normal.
Rave: My paychecks are way better and we found renters for the house we took off the market. So finally a little more income. Hopefully they will love the place like I did.
I'm here, and I agree with bella that I think we're still trying to find our groove?
Rant: I have a literal pain in my arse. I think its either piriformis syndrome or siatica. I don't think I was built to be a runner, but I love it so!
Rave: I think we will finally have our wedding pictures. Our photographer posted more on his website and I am loving them. My big fear was that I would hate them, but thankfully that is far from the truth.
I am still here too!
For us, life has been crazy busy (getting married before the holidays sure made settling in a little more challenging!).
Rant: I am so far behind on work (at home and at the office) thanks to the flurry of activity and illness over the past coupla months.
Rave: We finally have a weekend of just down time. And our appointment with a fertility specialist last weekend went well. We already have a game plan to fix what appears to be a minor hormonal imbalance.
Our lives have been hectic since the wedding and holidays.
Rant: I have been sick since Monday! I am finally starting to feel better. We moving this weekend and I don't feel very organized or ready for this move.
Rave: We rented out my house! So we are moving closer to both of our jobs and got a great deal on a new loft apartment.
Rant: There is no heat in my office building. We called the heating co. three hours ago. No heat. My fingers feel like little ice blocks.
Rave: H and I both have the weekend off. And we're not going out of state for the first time since the end of November. I plan on doing NOTHING this weekend except relaxing, reading, knitting, and watching the Patriots' game on Sunday.
Books read in 2012: 21/50
I'm here! I've been on here a lot this week only because it's dead at work....that'll change soon, I'm sure.
Rant--When, when, WHEN will I finally get our pro pics??? The contract says 6-8 weeks and yes, today is week 7 but really, do we have to absolutely wait until the last day of the 8th week?
Rave--I have to work tomorrow (definitely more of a rant than a rave) but then I have Sunday, Monday AND Tuesday off (in exchange for working Saturday) so I'm excited to get some cleaning done and Tuesday will actually give me the time to run around and get my name officially changed!
Rant: I finally gave into my craving for a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks. I haven't had one in almost a year. Well, I decided to get a venti and, man, I'm really regretting it. I was completely amped up and running around like crazy. Now, I'm crashing hard.
Rave: I'm on books 6 and 7 of the year! I've been reading quite a bit. And, I've been keeping up on the house cleaning like I've been wanting to. In the past two weeks, I feel like I've been more productive than I was the entire month of December. I'm loving it!
I'm reading posts... I just feel to down to post myself. Keep the wedding pics coming!
Rants: The death of a parent is hard. In a lot of ways. Many that I would not have guessed.
Raves: I am lucky to have so many supportive friends.
I'll speak for myself... I've been cheating on the nest and been on the bump lately... I thought I'd have time to organize my house and decorate it how I wanted, but I got a little blessing sooner than expected and have needed more advice than I would have expected.
Rant: I'm completely and utterly wanting to kill this stupid cold of mine! I have blown my nose more in the past 3 days than I think I've ever had to in the past few years... which is quite disgusting and frustrating. I'm also battling horrible morning (actually, ALL DAY) sickness and I'd love to eat and enjoy food, but cannot. That is my current frustration. /end rant
Rave: I finally have an ob appointment set for Wednesday! I'll hopefully be able to se a little ball or hear the heartbeat! Also, I've heard morning sickness could be a sign of a healthy and viable pregnancy... so that's where the love/hate relationship comes in with horrible pregnancy symptoms... Luckily, I haven't really gained or lost weight yet and that's good for me
My new job is night shifts so I'm either working or sleeping. Not too much time for TN, but when I do check in the wee hours of the morning I try to comment. Luckily I'm at the point in my schedule that I have 5 straight days off, woohoo!
Rant: Stupid headache. Nuff said.
Rave: H & I are going to the place we had our first date (one year ago today) for dinner tonight. Love that man!
Rant: working as an accountant sucks! I really need to find a way to make a living that does not involve dealing with people, and too much stress...I have no hidden talent whatsoever, so I'm SOL
Rave: the weekend is here! I am so excited to finally hang out with my boys...weeknights have been hard, because DH and I are always tired from commute and work...hence my being antsy about my job...I want to enjoy my newlywed life, darn it! But I'm thankful for the weekend.
I'm here too!
Rant: Yesterday I had an appointment with a dermatologist, who removed two moles that she thought looked suspicious, as well as two warts that were just a cosmetic issue. All of them were on my legs, so I've got bandaids covering 4 wounds. Have to go back in 10 days to get stitches removed from the mole holes (haha). I'm not concerned that the moles were cancerous, but I'll get biopsy results in a week.
Rave: Just loving married life, my DH, my clean house, and everything.
Lost 3 lbs this week too since the wedding/holidays.
