TGI....................F!!!!!!
It's finally Friday!!
Weather is crap here...rained cats & dogs all night and through the morning commute. It baffles me how people in the northeast forget how to drive when it is anything other than cloudy and dry. Sunglare & precipitation...the horrors!
Once I got to work this morning I realized I don't match. It's not awful...brown pants with black/gray/white print shirt and black flats...but not something I would ever put together. My brain feels like mush.
Assuming the rain quits and it's not overly windy tonight, we're going to pick up furniture. My parents are coming up to see the house tomorrow afternoon and no plans for Sunday. Will be nice to relax since we've been working our butts off all week. Maybe we can find a good movie to go see...any suggestions?
For two people in a marriage to live together day after day is unquestionably the one miracle the Vatican has overlooked.
Re: TGI....................F!!!!!!
Thank God it's Friday is RIGHT!
I 110% did NOT want to come to work today, but I'm here. I got a horrible headache yesterday afternoon that finally went away around 9 last night. I woke up at 5am this morning w/ it back. I wanted to call in today so badly, but I didn't. I'd love to leave early, but I know that won't happen either.
I doubt Don and I will do anything exciting tonight...espcially since I'm not feeling well. I do have to go to the grocery store and get a few items, but that will probably be the extent of activities after work. My mom is coming down tomorrow to go shopping and I convinced her to get pedicures too (I really had to twist her arm on that one)! Sat night I want to go see our niece so hopefully I can convince Don to go over w/ me if he gets out of work when he's scheduled too. Don doesn't go into work on Sunday until 1, which will be great! We're going to finally give Molly a long over due bath and go get her nails clipped. Then I'll probably do some laundry and cleaning like every other weekend while catching up on my shows.
Susie - I can't wait to see pics of the nursery!
I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am that it's Friday, I amost want to cry.
Slept like shiz last night, was super hot, dog was annoying, woke up in a panic at 4 that my alarm didn't go off, then it DIDN'T go off and I rolled out of bed at 5:57. I'm supposed to leave the house at 6. Oops. Fastest.shower.evah.
Work bestie surprised me w/ STarbucks and I could kiss her. Then the owner brought muffins and I almost kissed him too. Too bad I just want to go back to bed.
Tomorrow we're going to Linkin Park and I'm so excited! Haven't seen them live in a few years. I bought DH tix for his bday the very first time we ever saw them, so it's also a little sentimental for us. We're going w/ a big group and there's sure to be lots of binge drinking and shenanigans. Is it 3 yet?
My week hasn't been too bad, especially compared with this time last month. I'm hoping now that we're back into a more structured schedule, things will smooth out.
I convinced DH to take me to dinner last night because I really didn't want to cook. Then my sisters had me stressed out trying to find a work-appropriate outfit also suitable for the concert tonight. I gave up after 30 minutes. I'm totally looking forward to the end of the day so I have a feeling it's going to DRAG.
I'm also not a fan of the rain. Looks like I won't be leaving the office for lunch! My mantra for the day is, "Whatever, I'm seeing Bon Jovi in X hours!"
So very very jealous.
Woo! Happy friday girls!
No big plans this weekend other than working on our basement and I have school work to do... yuck!
Susie... my movie suggestion is 'Just Go with It'... I absolutely LOVED it! Hilarious!
Morning all! I came in to work early to work on some stuff prior to our training. I have training for 3 hours today. I'm waaay behind on my work because I was "sick" on Monday, it is going to be a c-r-a-z-y busy day.
Last night I did 30 mins on my treadmill...yay so proud of myself. I also watched the entire 2 hour American Idol show, sad because I missed Grey's to watch it and I forgot to DVR it.
No plans for tonight except hit the gym and do more laundry. I don't even know if I want to drive the next town over to go to the gym since it's also raining cats and dogs here. They forecast even called for posibility of snow. Snow?!?!?! In my entire life we've never seen snow here, not even remotely close. I told Richard that we have to take out our rain gear and find us some snow tomorrow.
Jen- Hope the headache goes away. I think it's stress related. A while back when I was stressed at work I had pounding headache's for like 3 days straight. I bought a bottle of ibuprofen to keep here at work and said eff you to all the people at work that were stressing me out. No, not literally but I was like, I'm not gonna let you get to me and let it go.
SusieQ- Hmm...a good movie to watch? I haven't been to the theater in ages, but choices right now are limited. It's either the Justin Beiber movie or Just Go With It. I'd probably just stay home...lol.
I am sooo jealous you are going to Bon Jovi!!!!!
I actually have a very heartwarming story. Yesterday on my way home from work I was at the tollbooth about to pay my dollar and the tollbooth lasy told me the person ahead of me paid for my toll. So I then paid for the person behind me. I really hope that it kept on going and someone wasn't like "Oh sweet I just saved myself a dollar!" It really made my day yesterday
I was going to plan a suprise bday party for H since tuesday is his 30th, but I was a lazy wife. I'm really going with his sister will be in Orlando next week and mom is coming to visit us the week after that, So they wouldn't be able to go. Maybe we will go out for his bday this weekend.I'm just excited I can make fun of him for the next 9 months for being old and 30 (Not that 30 is old for those in their 30's) and I am still his young hot wife still in my 20's..
I got a "morning" outta my boss today...is there a full moon out again? I don't know how else to explain him saying 1 word to me, lol.
I think my headache is due to stress, but also I'm on my sugar pills and lately I've seemed to get my headaches that week too. It's a good excuse to be b!tchy at work I guess
It's finally FRIDAYYYYY!!! It took me helluva a long time to roll out of bed this morning and therefore was pushing it to get to work on time. Just got done with therapies and about to finsih some paperwork for my eligibility meeting this afternoon. Of course, the teacher hasn't given me half of what I need but whatever. The kid doesn't qualify anyway.
I flaked out on cooking last night because I was hacking a lung up so Jeremy went and picked something up. We watched the first hour of AI and then Grey's and half of PP before I passed out.
I have NO idea what we're going to do this weekend. I really want to go see my nieces or nephew but with gas prices and this stupid cough, I probably won't.
I woke this morning PISSED. There is a ridiculous amount of snow and it is STILL FALLING!!!!! WHY CAN'T IT BE SPRING?!?!?!?
This weekend is hockey-filled as usual. After Saturday, we'll know where we stand for playoffs.
H and I need to do some major cleaning. That will be FUUUUUN.
Ugh, I'm in such an awful mood. And I'm probably not going to be able to get out of the parking lot today and I'll have to get H to pick me up. Grr.
I should have just stayed in bed today.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
morning, ladies.
susieq--go see the kings speech. best movie i have seen in years. so good.
last night instead of training for my 5k that is in 3 weeks, i went home to a company-free house, took a bath, had a glass of wine, and relaxed watching my tv shows i had missed. it was glorious.
today i got up extra early to come decorate and buy breakfast cakes for my coworkers bday. i got here, set all up, it started to snow, schools got cancelled and...everyone in my office decided to work from home bc the schools were closed so they needed to stay home with their kids. thats my morning.
snowing hard, probably have 4 inches that have fallen in 2 hours? i might leave early if this keeps up.
no plans for the weekend--finishing our taxes, cleaning, cooking, going to a few birthday dinners. thats it. just how i like it.

I've been bad this week making fun of him. I KNOW in January he will be just as bad/ if not worse as i am to him. Which is actually one of the things i like best about about our relationship. We tool on each other really bad.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Our cate HATES to be in her carrier. She cries so badly it breaks my heart. Someone has to hold the handles down on her carrier or else she can push the zipper back and escape. She doesn't adjust well w/ moving either...she has thrown up the first day in each place we've lived and hides for the first few days until she gets used to the place.
This morning sucked. Just as I was about to leave I got a text alert saying that the metro was shut down in both directions, with no explanation. Jeff was at therapy, so luckily I was able to get a ride with him when he stopped back home. Unfortunately, he couldn't drop me off at work because it would have made him late for a meeting, so I had to do this crazy circuitous route and wound up getting in about 2 hours later than I would have if the damn trains were running. When I got here, I found out that my birthday lunch (at this awesome pie place called Dangerously Delicious) got rescheduled to Wednesday
Luckily my boss isn't here so I'm mostly goofing off. And tomorrow I get to go to Volt, and then Sunday I'm going to Red Robin with my family! And a week from Monday, I'll do my qualifying exams and hopefully that shizz will finally be over.
Gutentag frauleins. I felt like dog duty this morning. The pressure in my head was worse than it's been in days. No bueno. I took additional meds and am finally feeling better now.
Last night I picked books up from the library, got a hotdog at WaWa, and then on to get my hair cut and colored. It was more than it usually was, and I don't get it. Then I went to Lowe's to get two keys made, then finally home. I did two loads of laundry, emptied the dishwasher, and watched Mr. Sunshine and Mad Love before collapsing into bed due to stupid sinus symptoms.
At 11:30, my phone rings, scaring the crippity out of me. I hired a student run PR firm from local university to work on Relay For Life this year. Last night this organization held a happy hour. Samantha (one of the PR girls) apparently was still out at 11:30 when her psycho or drunk or both roommate thought she should be home, so her roommate started going through her folders and randomly calling people. And copping an attitude on the phone as if I had kidnapped Samantha. Really? WTF? So I tell her I did not attend the happy hour and I don't even really know Samantha so I can't help her. She calls me AGAIN 15 minutes later. I was so effing pissed. I slept like crap all night worrying about this, and I see on FB this morning that Samantha liked something of Relay's so at least I know she's alive. She sent me an apology email, she was mortified.
It's rainy and gross out today. I decided to spend the night in AC tomorrow night instead of going up and back in one day so I will be boozing it up.
