Yeah its Thursday Randoms
Re: Yeah its Thursday Randoms
We were supposed to close on our house tomorrow, but I think it's getting pushed back to Monday. I'm so disappointed because I was looking forward to working on the house all weekend. Boo.
Side note, how is the snow in GR? I might be going tubing at Pandu. (?)
How bad is bad? I avoid the eye doc as much as possible, too. My contacts are currently -9.0 and -9.5. I dread the day I go in and have them tell me they don't make them strong enough for me anymore. My eyes *always* get worse between appointments.

Pando
And the snow is melting fast around here! We can see grass in our backyard again.

I'm literally trying to do deep breathing exercises at my desk right now because work is not going well today and I'm trying not to freak out on certain people. OMG, I'm pissed though.
gvsu, good luck at your eye appointment! I hope everything goes well. I'll be thinking about you.
Molly, our snow is quickly disappearing. I'm not sure Pando will have much this weekend.
Another bummer. Man.
Well it doesn't sound like a Happy Thursday for most out there. :-( I hope work gets better, Kasa, and I hope the eye doc goes well MB.
I would almost say we have more green than white showing around here. The dogs practically need a bath after every walk because of the muddy wetness on the pavement.
And we bought tickets for New Orleans last night! I'm super excited to see a new city!
I'm hungry. Not sure what I want to eat. I've only had a banana and a little bit of water so far.
I had a Laughfest meeting this AM. Is any one planning to head out during the event next month?
Anyone seen any good deals on khaki's recently. I need to pick up a good pair.
I am not a happy person at work today. Grr.
Holy Crap! I think we are soul sisters. I think we have the same RX.
Oh no!
Are things any better by now?
Sucks, I know.
Who do you see for your eyes? I've never really had "a" single eye doc since moving here for college in '99. :z Mixing it up between offices is getting old. I have one recommendation out towards Grandville but if you have a more local suggestion, I'm all ears.

I hope everyone's day is improving.
We're sick. Willa and I both have voices that sound like we have a lot of time and money invested in smoking.
I made Henry's St. Patrick's Day bow tie yesterday. He was running around wearing it, saying, "I'm cute, I'm cute!!" Later he brought it to me in 2 pieces (the part that goes around the neck is removable), saying, "it wasn't cute enough."
Please tape this and put it on YouTube so that I can be entertained.
Porn star.

I'm feeling better, yes. I went for a walk at lunch and bought Biggby and Jimmy John's. That helped. I also ran into a friend and talked to him for awhile which also helped.
And I put the frustrating project aside for now and I'm working on something else.
Katers, if you're still looking for an optometrist suggestion, let me know. I really like the one who I'm seeing now. And I'm really picky because my eyes are so profoundly screwed up.
Speaking of bad names, a friend posted her list of baby names she is thinking about for her 16 week old baby still in her belly. This is her list:
Girls Names
Debra Abryana Nicole
Tearna Rose Mary
Tarra Elizabeth Sou
Zythina Rose Ann "Dutchess"
Zyrenna Heaven
Boy's Names
Dexter Morgan
Morgan Knight
Zythiran Chain Heaven
Dryien Young Bastchen
However, even though I laugh at this list, it doesn't surprise me. She has a son name Alucard David Mathu Ian.
And yes...Alucard is "Dracula" spelled backwards. And yes...it was on purpose.

I'm not looking forward to getting our taxes done tonight. I have this awful looming feeling that we are going to have to owe. Someone stop me from stressing out about it so I don't have a freakin heart attach. However if I do have a heart attack will someone visit me in the hospital?
Amaretto: Um, strange list to say the least. Why the long names?
Yes, please!

I have no idea....I'm so traditional, I guess....what about names like Jacob, or Susan, or Grace, or Bradley....I just don't get it.

I'm sure she would say that it is really more like Burlesque.
