Re: Almost . . . there . . .
So, turns out I was the only idiot in my baking class wearing the chef's uniform. If I'd had an academic adviser, I would have known that, but since I'm not a "real" student, I don't have one.
I am super excited because tonight is the first night all week that I don't have anything to do. Totally looking forward to lounging on the couch all night. I kinda wish it was next week so I could watch the Grey's premier.
This weekend is our anniversary! We're visiting the in-laws this weekend, too. At first, I pouted about it on principle, but I honestly don't care that much. My in-laws are all right. And we'll be getting On the Border, which I love love love. There are no Tex-Mex or Mexican restaurants in the area. Well, no semi-decent ones anyway.
Anyone else have weekend plans?

Oh, Queen lol. The mental image of this makes me giggle but I'm sure it wasn't so bad! Did you actually like the class though? I would love to sign up for a cooking class soon.
This weekend is also H's and my anniversary. We will be in Puerto Rico the day after tomorrow, and my boss is out for the rest of the week so I am highly unmotivated at the moment! I am so unbelievably ready for vacation and so is H. Jumping out of my skin.
My confession of the day is that I have not used the treadmill since we got our new puppy two weeks ago. I need to get back on it! I was doing so well.
Hope everyone is having a nice day so far!
Did I mention I'm jealous of your baking class? It sounds like so much fun.
We were pulling on them and screaming...they wouldn't budge. I was near hysterics. Apple is my baby
I had mango by his legs and was yanking on them.
But then we realized that they weren't fighting at all. Apple's lower jaw was twisted in his collar and they were freaking out trying to get seperated and so it was cutting into her gums. Chris actually had his hands in their mouths and he got a little cut too.I was awfulChris finally got the collar off mango and got them apart. But you can tell, Apple's mouth still hurts.
I looked it up online and apparently TONS of dogs die every year from collar related incidents like this. They get their jaws seriously damaged and the other one strangles to death. My dogs are naked right now. I'm so conflicted. They can go naked forever!

happy anniversary, QOA! sounds like a nice (yummy!) weekend planned! Aside from feeling like an idiot last night, how was your class?? what did you make?
last night instead of running i watched mad men, washed the dishes, made dinner. my parents came over to drop off the dogs for the next ten days. it was comical. my mom and her dogs are obsessed with each other. my mom said leaving htem for ten days with me was harder than leaving me off at college. and the dogs sat at the door for over an hour last night crying and looking for my mom. poor things.
EXTREMELY busy at work today, have already been working since 7 am. Already drove 30 minutes to a meeting and back. Already have two things checked off my list (two BIG things). Tonight it is gym for an hour then home to grill in the rain. And sleeeeeep.
This weekend on Saturday we plan on volunteering to help clean up/rebuild houses from Irene. Then get groceries and relax and maybe clean up at home. Sunday is my first 12 mile run, then relax and maybe come in to work for a couple of hours. nothing exciting!

Shauni, I hope you know, you've been talking about this marathon for months with us, so that means you practically OWE us photos of you from the big race on Sunday.
You've been fore warned...
Also City, I'm jealous of your puerto rico trip

I'm having a really rough time at work. Like, major screw up, might be fired, kind of time. I was falling apart all yesterday afternoon. I barely held it together in front of my bosses. I think I've mostly moved on to anger - hopefully that will keep me going. I just don't want them to wait until the end of the current episode next week and fire me right before vacation. If they're going to do it, I want it done by the end of this week.
QoA - I'm super jealous of your baking class. I got an email there's a basic cooking class opening this Sunday (I really want to learn basic knife skills), but I'm already going to WS for a pizza dough tutorial Sunday morning. Decisions, decisions.
Dia - Glad the dogs are ok!
Shauni - I agree with Dia - there better be pics!
Jen...you know, sometimes, we do things on the job that seem a lot worse to us, than to our supervisors. You might just be beating yourself up for nothing. ALSO...say they do terminate you, you've been talking about leaving for a long time. This might be the best thing that happened to you.
I guess what I'm saying is...I don't really see a bad side to this. Either way it turns out, you're golden!

Dia- poor puppies:( I hope they get better fast.
I think we are going to grill out tonight.. yummy... Greg is working ALL WEEKING LONG! like 11am- midnight(or later) Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So we are going to hang out tonight maybe I can convince him that we should go out for ice cream. He was very sweet last night, while I was complaining that my body hurt, he told me he was very proud of me that I haven't complained and how I have been through the pregnancy. It made me feel better because I was feeling all I ever do is complain, so maybe I just complain to myself a lot.
I'm hoping to go to my favorite breakfast place on Sunday with a friend. Greg won't go because there is alway a huge wait on weekends, or you have to seat stalk the counter or outside tables because they are seat yourself. I am making him go when I have time off the end of the month for Jewish Holidays. I figure once he goes he will become obessed and won't mind the wait.
I agree with everything!
Haha, it wasn't so awful. I threw my jacket in my bag and I was wearing a white t-shirt, so it was ok. The pants are pretty awful.
The class is great! I've already learned so much after just one day. I have lecture the first three weeks and then we have "labs" where we have to wear our uniform and bake stuff. The first thing we're baking is "lean breads", which is Italian bread and other things. I cannot wait to bake my own bread at home. Then we do rich breads (liek brioche and challah), fruit pies, cream pies, egg something cakes (angel food cake), rich cakes and then quick breads (muffins and scones?).
Part of my is dying to quit my job and go to culinary school full time!

Thanks girls! I'm so glad I can count on you guys to be supportive. Or offer a kick in the butt if needed.
My immediate boss was very serious and there's going to be an investigation. While some of the blame is on me, the lack of communication among many people contributed, so that's what may keep me safe.
I needed yesterday to process it. And I came to the same conclusions - if I end up fired, I will take next week to chill, go on my vacation, and then start looking for a new job. And I'll be able to start immediately, which really increases my chances. At this point, I just want them to do it (if they're going to) and not prolong it. I'm more upset that it's a shitty way to go out. (I've never been fired before and I don't like failure - I was discussing this with a coworker yesterday during my breakdown.)
And if they don't, well, I was going to finish this season and leave anyway. This just reinforces that.
Loosing some of that anger I was feeling this morning, but I'm trying to hold on to it.
Morning...I just lurked yesterday and figured I'd post today. I'm a big time funk and not really sure how to get out of it. I think a big thing is my job at the schools. I'm just not feeling it. I feel like all I do is back to back therapy (yes I know that's my job) but I don't have time to PLAN anything so I waste time every session figuring out what to do. The kids suffer, I hate it. Andplusalso, I think a lot has to do with money issues too. I know we'll be okay but that's it. There's no extra for savings or going out or anything and it's just depressing. I'm seriously tempted to call the nursing homes back and work for them again to supplement because going to salary is killing us at the moment.
Sorry to be debbie downer.
On a brighter note, J did surprise me with dinner last night. Then we went to the store so I could copy pictures for mama's b-day party and I ended up buying all the stuff to make my own laundry detergent. I think I'm going to make my own dishwashing detergent too. I just need one more ingredient so that will help...a little...
Dia - yikes on the pups! I'd freak out majorly if Wilson did that.
Queen - glad you're liking your baking class. I know you'll ready for the 3 weeks to be up and start baking stuff.
Shauni - good luck Sunday with the race!
Jenn - Hopefully, the job works out one way or another (either they go ahead and do it or they don't and you can find another job)
And Happy Anniversary to all those celebrating and going away this weekend!
Today is my Friday! I'm so flipping excited because we leave for Honolulu tomorrow. I have most of my stuff packed but I need to finish packing. I also need to paint my nails and toe nails so they look cute. Hitting the gym right after work, especially since I am down 2 lbs. It's a small number but I've been working out like crazy this month and did not notice any weight loss until I weighed myself this morning.
Also...I got my iphone last night! Couldn't wait for the 5 to come out. Still playing around with it and so far I love it. Trying to figure out the App thing and how to get mobile banking (bofa).
Hope you guys all have a good weekend and I'll see ya next week. I'll be sure to post pics of our trip on fb.
SO JEALOUS!!!!! have so much fun

Emilee - hugs! I totally agree with the other ladies, and it sounds like you're in a good (or better than yesterday) place. I agree, and hope things aren't dragged out, either do it or not. And this is totally good motivation to find a new job!
Dia - how scary! Your poor pooch. We don't keep Ginger's collar on at home because she spends time in a crate & pen during the day when we're at work, and it's a choking hazard. We'd be in trouble if she ever digs her way out of our backyard, but luckily she doesn't seem very interested in that.
Emily - Sorry, hun. I'm sure that is really stressful. Has J had any luck looking for temp jobs?
Today is my Friday!
Tomorrow we are leaving for one of my BM's wedding. I picked up my dressing yesterday and practiced my welcome speech (I hate public speaking!). Today after work I have to do laundry, pack and finish putting together part of their wedding gift.
The weather has turned really fall like here. It went from the 80s a few days ago to rain, sleet, and some snow (yes, snow) yesterday. Time to dig out our winter clothes.
WHAT

Deb - Have fun! So jealous!! Can't wait to see pics!
Mush - He's had a few bites but nothing so far. But unless he's making more than minimum wage, it won't help us financially. It'll help his sanity which will be good too but not my stress level lol
I almost can't believe it's already Thursday. This week has gone by very quickly for me, but not because it was good or anything! Just busy busy busy at work, and starting to have freak outs that I'll be ordered off work before I'm ready to leave because of the pregnancy. I'm not having pg complications, but my back is really killing me. I finally went to my chiro yesterday and he cracked my back like crazy, which felt good. But basically my back hurts when I'm sitting, which doesn't bode well for work.
Ugh, sorry to keep complaining.
cosigned, shaunette
but in all seriousness, it is supposed to be in the THIRTIES here tonight. i might shed a tear. if it is time to start wearing sweaters and have fires in our fireplace then we are screwed--totes broke, and i am out of sweaters AND we cannot afford wood for our fireplace. *** a duck.
Blog
Yep, you read that right. It is supposed to warm up here again for the weekend, but our temperatures have been very up and down.
Shauni - I am dreading this winter's heating bills. I have heard that it is supposed to be a long, snowy, cold winter.
