where's waldo?
where is everyone???
i'm so excited, i get to have lunch w/ don today. this hasn't happened in so long because of his job. but today, he doesn't have that many sites to go to so that means he can take an hr break to come have lunch w/ me!!!
last night we had friends over to pay wii, but first we had to go borrow an extra controller from SIL. i got to see my niece so it was worth it. she was so happy to see it; it melted my heart on the spot. i just wish she was a little older so i could scoop her up over the weekends and spoil her. SIL and BIL have smothered her so badly that she won't go anywhere w/o them yet...she's almost 4 so i'm hoping maybe by 5 (or a little sooner) that she'll be ready, fingers crossed.
this weekend im going home to my moms, she's having an arbonne party for me. im not doing too well w/ selling this arbonne stuff, which is really a bummer. no one seems to want to buy or host a party for me. i can't blame them for not being interested, but i thought more of my friends/family would be supportive of my new venture.
Re: where's waldo?
hey there!!
I've been MIA since friday. Had off work monday for MLK jr.'s b-day and then was home yesterday with a migraine. Trying to catch up on the postings since friday, but there really aren't a lot of them!
The only thing we have planned for the weekend is watching the HUGE game between the Packers and Bears. GO PACK!!!!
Good luck with your party! Hopefully you sell some product!!!
Soooooooooo not looking forward to forced work socialization tonight. I slept in and had to park far from the train so I am bailing as soon as it's decent to do so.
I have the holiday/winter chub going on. I don't like it. I'm getting back in the gym groove this week, I'll work on toning down the eating next week.
Last night I went to the library, then picked MFD up at home. We returned Christmas stuff to Sears, picked up a few things at Lowe's and then ate at Cracker Barrell. We went home and watched Jersey Shore (ahahahaaha best episode) and Worst Cooks in America. I packed my lunch and gym bag, gave the dogs their heartworm pill, and then we headed upstairs. I read in bed and fell asleep around 12.
The gray sucks here. Over it. In the words of Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow, I ain't seen the sun shine in three damn days. I am not fueling up on cocaine and whiskey though.
Sorry you're not having success. Perhaps it's the product? In truth I will buy almost anything from friends to support them with the exception of Arbonne.
I had a friend who started selling stuff. At first, my house wasn't ready for guests, but the bigger problem standing in the way of me hosting is that I just don't have many friends.
I'm here...kinda. I'm swamped with paperwork and meetings and going bonkers with all of it. Teachers are getting on my last damn nerve and pretty much over the school. I see job hunting in my near future.
J just took his last test to get his GED and we'll find out tomorrow or Friday if he passed. Fingers crossed he did and then I'll be planning a "graduation" party for him. I'm so proud of him for doing this for himself.
I'm still feeding my addiction to Smallville but I'm also knitting scarves in the process so not completely unproductive. I'm on my 4th one since Saturday.
I'm trying to figure out what to cook for dinner tonight...we had baked ziti last night so not sure if I want another pasta dish.
Yep. DH left on a business trip, and I think I'm coming down with a cold or something. Between that and the gray, I came *super* close to calling out of work today.
Oh yeah, it doesn't help that I hate my job. I think I may have come up with a way to avoid quitting (and my healthy paycheck), I just have to find a way to confront my boss. Of course, it wouldn't really affect anything until at least April, but maybe it'll help my attitude.
I think I would go crazy if I wasn't able to scoop my nieces up. I've been doing that since the youngest one was 1 1/2 years?? She's almost 5. Needless to say, they know their "Aunt Mimi" spoils both of them rotten. I even do separate weekends/trips for them and boy do they love those! Now I just have to talk my sister into letting me keep my nephew...
Hope you get her soon. I absolutely LOVE it!!
im kind of here--really busy at work today, leaving for a work trip tomorrow. headed to texas. good timing too, it is supposed to be in the single digits here for the rest of the week. and the best man from our wedding (one of my best friends since we were 14) got a room at the same hotel so we will have some fun
that is about it. barely fit in my jeans, been doing ok with the working out, trying to do better with the eating. of course my gym was closed yesterday due to weather, but i am packing my sneakers for texas--can get some running in when it is 60 and sunny!

Where are you going in Texas? I live in Austin. Our weather has been awesome here!! Today the high is like 65 and tomorrow it is 59 or so. And sunny both days, no rain until the weekend.
Back at work today. Worked from home yesterday due to dr appts, but it turned out to be handy given how crappy the roads were by us. No fun lunch plans - we have an intern candidate on campus so I'm having lunch w/ him & another actuary. These often turn out to be very.freaking.boring.
I love having a niece & nephew to spoil. My only sis is younger and nowhere near having kids, but K's sister has two kids - I spent the afternoon with our niece on Monday - took her to McD's for lunch, then we baked cookies & hung out. Her mom picked her up after dinner. The boy is a little tougher - he's 4 and a bundle of energy - and he can drive you totally NUTS. But he's so darn cute. We're bummed that we won't take them snow tubing this year since I can't go - hopefully in a couple years again when our LO is big enough to tag along.

I'm here. I actually came in to work today. Jeff's lab was going to have lunch near me in honor of some students that are finishing up rotations, but as usual everyone seems to be flaking out so I don't think it's going to happen. Which pisses me off because I was looking forward to some yummy food, and socializing with other people, plus I worked out extra this morning to compensate, I already went to the ATM to pay for both of us (and I HATE carrying cash), and I obviously didn't bring a lunch so I might need to figure something out. Eff.
That is my favorite line! Not that I fuel up on cocaine and whiskey but still LOVE IT. This line is actually why I always sing Kid Rock part when doing Karaoke with the girls or when I sing it with my male friend I still make him be Sheryl and convince him it will be funny.
Hello :-) Im here just at work.
Jen- Have a good time at lunch with your hubby! I'm thinking about taking a half day soon to take care of my damn ticket at the courthouse, and also so I can have lunch with Richard.
I'm just saddened that despite my efforts to have a relationship with my mother, it always backfires. To be honest I am so done trying. I just need to concentrate on myself and my happiness. I just hope that one day she will realize the pain she caused me.
No major plans for tonight. I plan on jumping on my treadmill, doing The Shred video, and cooking a WW approved meal. Then waiting for my hubby to come home because I'm feeling frisky!
This.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
My brother just moved to Houston from Dallas. He likes it so far. And H went to technical college there for 18 months so I was driving down there every other weekend. It'll be nice this time of year, no humidity like they usually have. Have Fun!!
hey girls! I'm working the day shift today and not night thank god. So listen to this, I wrote this on the AW/vent/confess thread on my local board:
I confess that I've been a bad girl and did some poking around but not on purpose! (warning this may get long) A guy on FB friended me and I thought he was on DH's flag football team so I logged on DH's account to friend the guy for DH because DH NEVER goes on fb. So I go on and I saw that he had new message one from a girl who he hooked up with in college in AZ (DH's sister's friend's little sister). She basically said congrats on the marriage, she so happy for us, we looked really happy blah blah blah.
Then she goes on to say oh it made me think about where I went wrong and what I did. You made my heart beat so fast every time you looked at me and even when you didn't. Basically pouring her heart out and at the end says but I'm sure you two were meant for each other. congrats and you need to tell me about her honeymoon (btw the message was waay longer with the pouring her feelings sh*t).
So I don't know if I should be mad, feel pity, or just laugh but right now I'm laughing it off... I guess I'm in a good mood. We'll see how DH reacts when he reads it. Most likely I'll be mad at him for his reaction and for what he writes back, cause he always "feels bad" and tries to reconcile things but he doesn't realize that what he is doing is giving these stupid girls false hope.
Too me I think I would not want my H to write back at all and if he does maybe something like. 'thank you, yes were are very happy. I'm glad to hear your doing well' and thats it. I wouldn't want him actually having a back and forth conversation with this woman who obviously still thinks of him in more than a friend way. Thats just my opinion though. I know people deal with this in very different ways.
This and no more.
