its only 9:30 on tuesday
yeesh. that is all.
any fun plans this week? what are you all doing today? anything exciting going on?
it took me an hour to get to work today (usually takes 25 minutes?) and i passed 6 car accidents. eek.
Re: its only 9:30 on tuesday
I'm struggling to stay awake. You'd think a one hour commute that ends with a 4-block walk thru the cold, icy streets of NYC would wake me up, right? Not lately. If I put my head down on my desk, I'd pass out within 5 minutes. I'm going to try to leave early.
No fun plans this week. DH's best friend (and our BM), just asked my sister (who was dumped by her boyfriend just before Christmas) out on a date. He asked me if I had a problem with it and I said no. He then proceeded to run the email by me. If it happens again, I have to tell him while I have no problem with them dating, I really don't want to be proofing your correspondence!
Hey all, also struggling to stay awake. My job is so mind-numbingly tedious! At least the boss is at the Philly office and won't be back until Friday, so I have some breathing room.
We're going to see my in-laws in Annapolis on Saturday. I'm actually looking forward to seeing them; we haven't seen them since the wedding!
No big plans this week. Just going to the Y & trying to get out of making dinner as often as possible
We're also planning to paint an accent wall in our apartment so I'm hoping to at least pick out and/or pick up the paint this week. I also want to (finally) install & hang some curtains in our bland, cold bedroom.
J is going snowboarding with his Dad this weekend so I'll be home alone for most of it.. and I can't wait to have a little under 48 hours to myself.
How is it only Tuesday? Ugh.

oooh, what color do you want to paint the wall?
and also, because i am nosy, where is J going boarding this weekend?

I'm currently riding a Starbucks high, so no lethargy for now. Give me another hour and I will crash hard. Going to a jewelry party on Thurs night and will get to see some old friends and get a wedding present. Excited about that. Sat is a surprise party for my work bestie.
Counting the minutes until a big work meeting. Apparently shiit is going to hit the fan and people may quit on the spot (not me), so it's really intense right now.
He's going upstate to Sno Mountain (Scranton) - nothing too exciting, but it at least gets him on his board.

Great news - such a big commitment. Definitely keep us posted on how it goes! I've never had enough balls to join, lol.

Tuesday is the most useless day of the week. At 9:15 I was here for 45 minutes and felt like it was four weeks.
Last night I jetted out of the InDesign class I took yesterday. It was good, but I was exhausted from being hunched over all day in my coat and scarf and could not feel my fingers or toes. Coldest day in TWO YEARS and there was NO heat in the classroom. HATE! I got home, changed, ate my leftover chinese, and when MFD got home we watched American Dad and Worst Cooks in America on DVR.
At 7 we got up and did a flurry of housework. I made savory oatmeal and boiled eggs and packed lunch, then I wiped down the kitchen and threw sheets in the wash. MFD stripped the bed and cleaned the bathroom. We remade the bed, then reconvened in the living room to watch Bob's Burgers, Iron Chef America and Big Love. Then some Gold Rush Alaska. Have you ever seen that? Complete morons on that show.
I need to bust a move on over to the gym today, and I have errands to run and cleaning and packing to do tonight.
If this storm comes Wednesday and it's big I'm going to be really pissed off. Heading to the mountains this weekend and I don't feel like dealing with the mess beforehand.
Wow, just reading that made me feel like I am the laziest person in the world. You are a domestic diva! I wish I had the energy to be doin all that.
This week should hopefully mellow out. Just a couple trips to the gym and putzing around. But Friday I'm blowing out of town early for a weekend at our friends cabin in Tahoe. Can't wait!!!!
Lame that it's only Tuesday.
where in tahoe is the cabin? my old stomping grounds!
Blog
Actually it will be right by your old stomping grounds. We're staying at Kings Beach and tearing up Northstar. (Even though it hasn't snowed in like weeks....lame) You should come out, we've got an extra room for you and Ger!
I keep debating doing WW at work - they offer it on site for super cheap since my company subsidizes some of it. But I feel like everyone will look at me like, "Why is the skinny girl in here?" I'm not horribly overweight, but I eat like a cow and need to learn how to eat better. Maybe I'll just do it...
This week is boring for me. BIL was in town and stayed with us last night, so we went out to dinner and did too much drinking for a Monday night. Now I feel like azz and it's only Tuesday. We're *supposed to* get a nasty storm tonight and I'm praying so hard for no work tomorrow, but the way the weather people's predictions have been lately, I won't hold my breath waiting on it...
Hi guys! I've been awol for a bit. Work is carzy hectic right now. Should slow down by next week.
Jody, I lovelovelove annaoplis. I lived there for 10 years.
I was right downtown too. Good memories.

Rachel, can you still get the cheaper rate to do WW online? I used to do a similar online program and it helped a LOT. I was active in their forums and kept a blog, and occasionally I'd get comments about how I 'didn't need to be there', but they were pretty rare and people always stuck up for me. I feel like online you're much more anonymous, since you don't have people actually looking at you IRL.
My mom and my sister did WW a looong time ago, and they said that the in-person meetings were great for accountability, though.
I'm still uber jealous that you got to live up here during ski season. I'm trying to figure out how I can swing that. If I drink too much, I'll just say it's in your honor. The only think I hate about NS is the "members only" club at the top, they wouldn't even let me in to pee there!
Sunshine- I agree with Shauni, it's about your health and your benefit. Tell everyone else to keep their eyes on their own paper
