Re: AW/Chit Chat
A friend's AC went out yesterday and the earliest someone could come out was this morning so we had surprise houseguests last night.
I made step one of cheesecake/chocolate cakeball last night. They are in the freezer and tonight is dipping night. I think they are going to be pretty delicious.
I am not a healthy eater. I love sweets, I don't avoid fast food and I don't let myself feel bad about it. But last night we went to Chili's for dinner (I haven't been in like 2 years!) and I went with my Chili's favorite, chicken crispers.
Ugh...I still feel so gross about it. They aren't the same as I remember and I literally could have wrung them out on my plate. I felt so greasy by the time the check came. Gross.
I totally understand this. I LOVE two things at Chili's - the Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers and the Crispy Chicken Tacos. When I looked at the calorie/fat counts on these items I had to give them up. Sad day.
Lately I have been loving the chicken fajita sandwich from the lunch menu. They will allow you to do the lunch deal all day for slight more money, so I usually do the half sandwich and salad so I don't feel so blah afterward.
Also - I FB'd you back. I know you can't check it until tonight, so I will PM you on here the same answer, check your box.
Leslie- PM back to you!
One of my coworkers was raised in CA, but has been here about 7 years. ALL she ever talks about is living in CA, how things are different in CA, all the things they have in CA.
I want to just say, "You should move back!"
I PM'd you back.
Obviously we are the only people on the board right now. 9 am and 5 posts. Really? Where are you guys!
LOL. One of my CW is the same but she's been here almost 20 years. She does the same thing and she still considers CA "home", which I find ridiculous because how can you not just love Texas? Besides the heat and all. Most of her family is there but they don't have nothing to do with her anymore after she got a divorce so why move your life half way across the country to people that don't support you. Sorry about my unrelated rant. We just had a group come back from a work trip to CA so that's what I've been hearing about since Monday.
I have lots of good things today.
I love all of DH's co-workers. They appreciate him so much and I am glad he is in a good environment. One of them gave him a $50.00 gift card for Olive Garden or Applebee's yesterday, so we know where date night will be on Friday.
We sign the papers for our house to be sold to our builder on Monday. The inspector already gave his approval. They have made a trail for the machinery to get in and out on our lot. Just to see some kind of progress on this long journey makes us sooo happy!
I hope everyone has a great Thursday!
Also, I'm officially not having a very good week. I am trying to remain optimistic. It's hard.
I agree, that's definitely annoying....however, I can't say that I wouldn't be talking about Texas all the time if I moved to CA.
Since I have met you and know that you have social skills, I can bet that you would have enough self awareness to know when people were over the TX talk and you would find another subject of conversation.
My coworker has no such self awareness!
Amanda- Awww!
Glad the little one is ok and that your DH just jumped on in!
I officially changed my name yesterday. It had to do with Deepthi's FB post. I figured it was time
Amanda, that is so sweet of your husband and I'm so glad the little boy is ok.
Leslie my favorite thing at Chili's is the Chicken Club Tacos. I usually only eat 1 1/2 and I can't eat anymore. Lately I can't eat them at all. I don't even wait to know the calories!
I got an awesome deal on diapers yesterday. DH and I decided we needed to start buying them now and save as much as we can with coupons so thanks to Leslie's thread last week about the coupons I get 3 packages last night for $16.
I have a luncheon with the VP of my dept today. There are only 12 people invited and it's more of a chit chat session but I'm way too nervous to chat. Hope I don't look stupid if I'm asked a question!
There's a local Waffle House in Grapevine that a friend of the family owns. Today, she made her FB status say,
"This week is all about deserts. Try out our Strawberry Shortcake!"
......
I wrote, "Yes. It's very hot outside, I agree." Wonder if she'll even notice.

~TTC Buddies with akcrrr and amandaf6383~
Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
This is way random:
If I was to get pregnant this cycle, my EDD would be 4/20/12. My first thought was "oh, that's Hitler's birthday" and the history nerd inside of me kind of liked having a historical significance tied in with it even though he was a homicidal fuckkhead.
Now the idea of my child possibly celebrating his/her birthday by getting stoned every year doesn't excite me nearly as much.
"...And he just came out of my imaginary birthday cake." -its apelila
One of my BMs birthdays is 4/20 and she said she gets asked every year if she is getting stoned for her bday. She doesn't but she said it's the most annoying question ever!
Sara - Haha, well thanks!
Brianna - Um... I don't get it?
Desserts = Strawberry Shortcake
Desert = The Sahara
They are two very different things.

Probably not, and I think it makes it even better.
Bio
I think so, too!
After reading your first sentence, I said "Hey that's Hitler's b-day!" then I kept reading on. And why do I know that? Our book!
Oh, hell.... I feel stupid.
So...I sort of snapped at Ben last night right as I turned the light off. And then I just left this morning before he got up. I feel bad in a way....but also in a way I don't because I was just telling him honestly how I feel. And I really am tired of the thing I said I was tired of.
It's probably not going to be a good day.
ETA: My AW--boss just said we can go to Vegas!
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
I know it's not funny but these two sentences together made me laugh. I could hear you saying the first one in a sad voice and then the second in a happy voice right after the first.
Oh no! There's a "possible gunman" at Virginia Tech right now. They have the campus locked down currently. I hope this doesn't happen to them again!
