Re: Mid-week Randoms
Oh, fun!
I don't blame you! I think it would be very difficult to stay focused at this point if I were you.
And congrats on making it official!
I am praying that everything goes ok. Last time she had a baby, this is when she found out he had a lethal birth deffect
So we all have our fingers crossed. Thoughts and prayers please. I will update in a few hours.
Sweet! Sounds exciting!
O'Douls Amber is better than the regular one, IMO.

ITA. I've got a 6 pack in the fridge!
Wait, fill me in - is it law school or something? I might have missed an announcement.
I have no alcohol in my house right now. It's an odd feeling.
I might have to go get a beer with all this talk of summer beer. It's a nice day out today.
And of course I wish the same for you!
This is exciting!!!!
Well Congrats! That's super exciting! I can understand the senioritis.
So I was really good friends with TH's cousin. She went through a bad breakup this summer and I went over there to talk to her and tried to be supportive. I was VERY carefully not to say anything against him at all. In fact, I stated over and over that I didn't think this guy was a jerk or meant to hurt her. Just too much stuff going on in his life to focus on being involved with someone now. I said over and over again that she shouldn't feel like a fool for getting involved. She got back with the guy and told me in an email and said she hoped I would never judge her. I told her that I didn't, but the only thing was that I hope realizes she is important enough that she deserves someone that is willing to give her the time, attention, and love that she deserves. Basically this guy lived in a different city, had three kids, traveled a ton for work, and controlled the shots of when they would see each other and how much they communicated through email and text.
Well I guess that pissed her off because now she won't communicate with me at all! Before Christmas I sent a message saying that I don't know what I did, but if I did anything to offend her I completely sorry and wish she would let me know at least I know. I stressed again that I never judged her relationship with him and only hoped for the best.
Two months she finally replied to another email saying she has been swamped at work and her computer broke down. No mentions of my email or anything. She has defriended me from FB.
This pisses me off!!! If you feel like you can't be my friend anymore than have enough balls to let me know what I did that was so wrong. Don't take the coward way out and not respond. I want to reply to her and say WTH???
I know a lot of it stems from the way she was raised. They were not raised to show emotions. Her dad had to take care of everyone else with his job before his own family. Her mom is very reserved and I know she has a lot of issues because of it. It still makes me mad.
I guess I have to let it be. I did what I can do. At least that side of the family doesn't participate a lot with large family functions, so I don't have to worry about creating awkward family drama. She will probably just no long show up to family events.
Sorry this was so long, I just had to get it off my chest.
I've been drinking soda water with cranberry juice and pineapple juice lately. I put an umbrella in the glass to make it more fun!!!
Sorry to hear that you're going through this. I know from recent experience with my SIL that it can be incredibly frustrating when you want to be there for someone and want to be a good friends and to help them, but for whatever reason, they don't let you in. It's tough.
My husband noticed last night that Zoey has a brown spot on her iris in one eye. It wasn't there before. He's freaking out (a quick internet search will do that) and is convinced that it's very serious. We have a vet appointment at 5:00 today.
I've been saying that it's probably nothing to worry about, but it will be good to have her checked just in case. But his freaking out is starting to wear off on me and now I'm worrying.
I'm also concerned about how this vet appoitment is going to go. Unlike Jinx who is really good at the vet, Zoey turns into a monster made up of teeth and claws. I have no idea how the vet intends to get a good look at her eyeball.
I made numerous attempts to get together. Mentions of us getting together on FB or in emails get ignored.
Maybe he or she will just use a mild sedative? I hope it turns out well and everything is okay.
Eating ice cream from the carton is one of my favorite things to do whilst watching the Biggest Loser. :-)
Ugh - so sorry you both had to go through that!
Oh, have fun! You must be going to the new place in Easttown, yes? I have several coworkers who go there and really like it.
While I really enjoy yoga, and I like the idea of hot yoga, I've never tried it. I hate being hot, so I don't think it would be a good fit for me.
TH just referred to you as "the nesters"
hee hee.
Haha. Nick calls you all "nest people".
I am. My mom got me a Groupon as a gift after a friend of ours raved about the place. I don't really love being hot either, but it can't hurt to try. My friend is trying to get me to join her in the 6 a.m. class, but NO WAY JOSE.
One of my coworkers was saying that because of the Groupon, that studio has been insanely busy. As in, you have to get there 20 minutes early if you want to get into a class, otherwise they're full to capacity.
That was a couple of months ago that we were talking about that though, so hopefully it isn't as crazy anymore.
Yeah, they warned me about that! Fortunately I'm able to do the 4:00 classes with my work schedule, and they said those aren't nearly as busy.
