Re: Friday Five
Best/Worst thing to happen this week:Best: I ran 3.5 miles yesterday for the first time in two weeks and it was amazing. Worst: I ate a McGriddle, which was so good but made me feel so bad both physically and mentally (yes - I know, life is pretty good right now - this is all I have.)
What is the most embarrassing thing you own? ALL of the Hanson CD's...like every one.
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? I run for stress and read to calm/happy.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? I got drunk dialed by a stranger who told me she was going to beat my ass for stealing her man. When I told her she had the wrong number she said whatever, biatch I am coming for you!
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? No, I haven't, but in this vein last week this girl from high school added me on Facebook and I noticed her last name was the same as the teacher that "resgined" our junior year for inappropriate relations with a student. Rumor was it was her, guess the rumor mill was right.
Best/Worst thing to happen this week: MAV'S WIN!!!!!! And leaving for Galveston this afternoon
Worst: DH's cousin/my best friend has to have her uterus out because its dropped and should be a size 6 and is an 11. She is only 30!

Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? My "best friends" husbands friend, who had a crush on me. SHE gave him my number, right before DH proposed, and she knew he was about to propose because she helped him pick out the ring! And that is why DH can't stand her. Oh, and he said he knows I want to be with him and not DH, and then he said something about my panties..yep, he went there...
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? Nope

What is the most embarrassing thing you own? I dont really have anything that would embarras me.
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? Stress I either work out or sleep it just depends on the type of stress and how exhausted I am. Cuddle time with Matt is my happy time. When I have a bad day I usually walk through the door and say "cuddle?"
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? I have never been drunk dialed.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? I have not ever had a crush on any of these figures.
This made me think of Bill Clinton's "I did not have sex with that woman" statement for some reason, which in turn made me LOL.
Best/Worst thing to happen this week: Best: The Mavs are up in the series (seriously that kinda week) Worst: My stomach has been mad at me all week.
What is the most embarrassing thing you own? ummm...I don't think I own too much that is embarrassing. All my "good" cd's got stolen from my car and I have yet to replace them. All my embarrassing clothes got purged when I moved in with DH and had to get rid of a bunch of stuff. Um, I have some pretty embarrassing pictures, does that count?
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? Stressed or blah: ice cream. Calm me down and make me happy: glass of wine and a back rub from DH
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? I got a drunk dial from my sister but she had no idea what she was saying or who she was talking too. She just kept crying and saying "I wuv to, I wuv to". It was quite funny
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? I had a crush on a boss when I worked at Target. He wasn't my boss but a boss of another department. I would just go "hang out" in his area and see if they needed help. We made out at a work party one night but that was about it. He wasn't that good of a kisser.

If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? An ice cold beer and some stupid reality TV show to prove my life is somewhat normal.
As far as calming me down - this is cheesy, but a hug from DH.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? Oh it's been a while. My college roommates boyfriend used to drunk dial me all the time. From her cell phone. Weird.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? I had a crush on a high school coach. No, I never did anything about it.
Best/Worst thing to happen this week: We went out with some friends last night, which was fun, but most weeks we're just trying to survive til the weekend. Worst thing -- a friend is in a really bad financial/employment situation right now, and my heart is breaking for her.
What is the most embarrassing thing you own? According to DH, it's a stuffed dog that is battery-operated to have its chest rise and fall like it's peacefully sleeping. I received it for Christmas about two years ago, when my brother got his dog, and I became the only person in my extended family to not own a dog. But I think it's cute!
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? If I can get myself to do it, a bubble bath or cleaning/organizing something. But my default is just to lie face-down on our bed until DH comes to check on me. Inevitably if he finds me like that, he tickles me or sings to me (to make me laugh) until I'm feeling a bit better.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? DH, two years ago when we were still dating long-distance, at 2 a.m. He just kept saying "I'm sorry" over and over ... I kept asking what happened, what he was sorry for, but he wasn't listening and all he would do was apologize. Of course, I was worried about the worst possibility! He called a few hours later (more sober) and told me they'd gone to Hooters and must've felt really guilty in his drunkenness / thought I wouldn't like it. I thought it was pretty funny, in retrospect.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? Not really. I thought one professor was cute, but then I got in a really bad accident during a field trip in his class and he tried to carry me to the health center on campus. I was so embarrassed, it kind of chased the mini-crush right out of me.
Best/Worst thing to happen this week:
Best: Mavs win last night
Worst: Last night my DVR box broke...again!
What is the most embarrassing thing you own?
I don't really have anything that would embarrass me.
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy?
Stressed: I usually call a friend and just vent, then I feel better.
Calm me and make me happy: a pedicure!
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say?
My ex. I didn't answer, but I'm sure he would have said "I miss you."
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it?
I thought a teacher in high school was hot but that was the extent of it.
Best/Worst thing to happen this week:
Best: I have a job interview next week and DH picked our first apples of the season from our tree yesterday.
Worst: My ear is still being a PITA.
What is the most embarrassing thing you own?
I have nearly every boy band CD you can imagine: all of 98 degrees, Five, LFO, Youngstown, MyTown (whatever) and maybe a couple BSB.
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy?
Sadly, eat. Or watch TV and try to find something funny. I have Ugly Betty on our DVR just for this reason. But I'm working on that. Walking usually helps. Cooking- most importantly chopping things with a large knife.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say?
I used to get the most random calls in the middle of the night from people I didn't know. They were more annoying than entertaining.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it?
My CJ professor was pretty cute and hilarious. I never did anything about it (nor would I ever)- I just enjoyed the laughs while I could.
Lacy- what provider do you have?
Our AT&T DVR stopped working around December. They kept telling me that it was because of the cold but I kept trying to tell them that it couldn't be that because it would work sometimes and then not work other times. Finally after the 3 techs came out they figured out our box was messed up and they gave us a new box. I kept trying to tell them it was the box. I was so mad at them. We got a month free and 6 months free movie channels.
The box in our bedroom starts messing up if it gets to hot so DH had to move it so it wasn't in the direct line of the sun from our window. No problems since.
Best/Worst thing to happen this week: My week was pretty standard. Nothing good or bad. Oh, except Mother Nature threw a surprise visit my way. Yay.
What is the most embarrassing thing you own? I used to own some really embarrassing stuff when I was a teenager..blow-up furniture, Spice Girl stuff, random CD's. Now the only funny thing I own is a Snuggie!
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? In those moods, I really like to just be left alone. Once I work it out in my head and talk it out with someone, I am usually over it/better.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? Gosh...I can't even remember. That is what happens when you are old like me!!!!
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? Absolutely! (As long as you mean adoration from afar and not real relationship.) I thought a substitute teacher in middle school and a high school coach were so hot, but so did every other girl in my school. This is random, but I also think some of my friends dad's are so good looking. There is something to be said about an older gentleman that is a good husband, dad and takes care of himself. Flame away!
Best/Worst thing to happen this week:
Best - Um, I am still alive... seriously, that is about the only good thing so far.
Worst thing - I'm getting over 20% more locations added to my plate and I have to incorporate each one individually.
What is the most embarrassing thing you own? I don't think I really own anything too embarassing. I still have my favorite stuffed animals from when I was a kid, I guess? They are in a closet though... not like on display or anything.
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? I work out to de-stress. I shop when I have a lot on my mind (not always buy, just wander and browse). If it is really bad, then I go to the liquor store. Ha.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? I don't remember the last time that happened.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? No
Bio Good Times
I have AT&T U-verse. They just came out and replaced our box about a month and half ago and the same thing happened. We did just get our entertainment center built and installed and the shelf for our box and our sound system box is pretty small. I felt the top of the box and it was pretty warm....I think it may have fried the box. But when this happened a month and half ago we didn't have the entertainment center and the box was in a very well ventilated spot so who knows. They are sending someone out today to fix it or replace it.
Best/Worst thing to happen this week: Best: we got our proposal and presentation done earlier than we planned for our research class. Worst: insurance problems. I wonder why I am paying for coverage when none of my prescriptions seem to be covered.
What is the most embarrassing thing you own? I still have some pokemon games on the nintendo. But I don't play them, promise! They are DHs
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? I indulge in food, which is not healthy at all. Talking to DH makes me calm and happy. Always has the right words.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? A friend and they said "Hello, I'm cool"
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? No not really but there were some that were nice to look at.
Lacy - We don't have uverse but someone posted this this morning on my Facebook feed:
Anyone with UVerse having serious issues with the box freezing & rebooting itself? Seems to only happen when I am watching a program I have already recorded, and it just started yesterday. Looks like there was an update done in the last day or two, I wonder if that has something to do with it. Thoughts?
Yes!!! That is what happened last night and the time before! The guy is at my house right now and my sister said he is being a jerk. He told me on the phone that if the hard drive was fried because it got too hot they would have to charge me. I will cancel if that is the issue because it sounds like this is happening with more people than just me! Thank you for letting me know this because I will be letting them know when I call that this seems to be common and they are NOT going to charge me for their crappy equipment!
Best thing to happen this week: I got to hang out DH some. Our schedules have been so crazy lately.
Worst thing to happen this week: My health insurance is denying my claim. It's a new policy and they said it was a pre-existing condition (it's not). I'm so tired of dealing with them.
What is the most embarrassing thing you own? I can't think of anything.
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? I eat chocolate.
What can calm you and make you happy? DH always knows what to say.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? It's been years since I was drunk dialed.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? Nope
They tried telling us they would charge us because we undid the connections in the attic (we didn't touch them) and that we "let" the box get too hot. Again we didn't. I called 4 days in a row yelling at someone because it wasn't our fault. On day 4 someone finally looked at our account and say that a tech had written that we had a faulty box and there was no way of replacing it. Like I said we got a month free on the bill and 6 months of free movie channels.
If they try and say it's your fault ask them if they have it in writing that the box should be in a well venilated area. Our's is sitting on a shelf with NOTHING else around it and it gets hot for no reason. It's something to do withthe boxes. AT&T even installed our into a smaller area in the entertainment center and I asked if it was going to be a problem and the tech said no it should be fine there. They just don't like admitting they are wrong!
My sister said he replaced the box and said it wasn't caused by getting too hot. She said that he was creepy and left after watching the sports channel for five minutes. LOL.
I guess I should have complained more because we didn't get anything free out of this ordeal.
Oh well, my DVR is working for now so I am happy!
What is the most embarrassing thing you own Hmmmm, well, I've been to Disney a lot within the past year. But something I find a little embarrassing (manly because it's in our bedroom) is the Gollum statue. I find it creepy. I know Bill likes Lord of the Rings but I get a little weirded out by out. I've already removed all family pictures out of the bedroom--just pictures of the two of us.
If you're really stressed out or just feeling blah, what do you do to indulge yourself? What can calm you and make you happy? Traditional here: spend a little money. But also a text from Bill or a visit from some favorite students or old friends.
Who was the last person that drunk dialed you? What did he/she say? Probably my brother. That he loved me. A lot.
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, professor, or boss? Did you ever do anything about it? Maybe when I was in middle school but I would have had no idea what to do about it.
