Kiss My Grits. It's Friday!
Hello, hello! Friday! Yay!
Please let this cold go the F away. Now.
Last night I stopped at Sam's on the way home. Leftovers for dinner, then we walked the dogs, watched Modern Family and Criminal Minds on DVR, then I went upstairs. I got solid sleep even though I have to sleep pretty much sitting up.
Cannot wait for the weekend, I'm doing a lot of puttering, planting bulbs, and hopefully lounging. I wish someone crafty would come put my Halloween costume together.
Re: Kiss My Grits. It's Friday!
Meetings all week have put me behind my normal tasks. Today is no exception, have a 4 hour web update session. Kill me now.
Puppy class went well last night. There is a yorkie that barked the entire time. I may kill it. Pepper was very submissive and well-behaved. When we got home, she immediately attacked the pugface and destroyed some toys. Sigh, she's quite the handful.
Spent another $100 at ON online, thanks to their 30% off yesterday. Hello yoga pants, new sports bra, two tees, sweater and jammie pants. All of a sudden, I'm obsessed w/ ON again.
Big halloween party this weekend. Still need to find legwarmers, then my outfit will be complete!
It's only 8:42 and I already want to punch some people. When I came into this position, the people that I supervise had been here a while and the previous person just kinda "put up with them". Then when I came on, I'm supposed to now deal with all their bull$hit b/c no one else wanted to. Seriously?!?!?!
Last night J was working with a friend, so i was flying solo. I put plastic up on our windows in the livingroom, which was a workout! 2 of the windows are gianormous picture windows, which then require up and down and up and down on the ladder. My goal was to do all the windows that we cover last night. Um, yeah, I got the livingroom done and that's it.
I'm so ready for it to be 4:30 so i can just get the f out of here. I have no patience for lack of common sense and today is not a good day for that.
Today is one of those days when I'll be looking at the clock incessantly counting down the hours til I can go home.
On Wednesday, while I was in the Health Center pumping at lunchtime, one of the ladies from housekeeping barged in on me (we have private rooms but no locks - door was closed and an occupied sign was hanging). She was very apologetic but I was mortified and I may have yelled. A little. This morning I mentioned it to the nurse who runs the health center and her only response was "That's never happened before." Ad nauseum. I don't give a frack - just make sure it doesn't happen again!
Our refrigerator is finally full, we have plans with friends on Saturday and Sunday. And it's supposed to be a gorgeous weekend. Happy Friday.
I have spent WAY TOO MUCH MONEY on clothes from ON and Le Gap this week. Too much! Some of it is going to have to go back.
I am switching over my summer and winter clothes tonight, and I bet I will find one million duplicates of things I just bought, which will piss me off, a lot.
Mary - I often think about covering windows, but then I don't.
Susie - Also watching the clock all day long. I found out I have a meeting during my zumba class, so I'm grumpy about that. I would be really pissed about the walk in and the excuses. Just make sure it doesn't happen again. Cripes.
I feel like asss today. One of my good friends from work is leaving,so we had a farewell HH last night. I'm sick and shouldn't have drank, but I did. And didn't eat any food. And stayed out til 1am. And I feel like death this morning. I want to climb back in my bed, pull the covers over my head and pretend the world doesn't exist.
We have tickets to a bluegrass show tonight. I'm super excited to go, but it's standing room only, and if I still feel this assy, it's gonna suck.
Boo hoo. Poor me. :-P
I have no desire to do work today. The only thing I can even work on is my least favorite thing to do here.
I just got back from the interview for a second company. Yesterday's went really well, but she wants me to come back Tuesday morning to meet with someone who wasn't around. Today's went well, but I'm not sure I want the job. It's not for the show I thought it was and there are a lot of potential issues. She hopes to have a decision by Monday, and the other one I think will decide on Tuesday. I've got a long talk with DH coming up this weekend.
I think we're going to a friend's house for a "bad movie" night. We pick some truly awful movie (like Titanic 2 or Mutant Vampire Zombies in 'da Hood), and then get drunk while making fun of the movie.
Standing when you are unwell sucks. A lot.
I used to think it was so ugly and tacky. Then I moved into a drafty house and realized how much air actually was getting it. The house we live in now is only 14 years old, so the windows are fairly new, but man, they are drafty as heck! I didn't do a stellar job on one of the windows last year with the plastic and there were many windy winter days when we could see the plastic billowing out from the wind. That just reaffirmed that whatever amount of cold air we can block with that damn plastic, is better than having it come in the house and raise our heating bill.
TGIF! So glad it's Friday. Last night I went to the gym (yay for me), then did a few loads of laundry, and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom.
Gym again tonight. Tomorrow need to go grocery shopping and get a new COSTCO membership. We're having a dinner for my brother tomorrow evening.
Sunday we are going to the Raider game against KC. It's going to be a tough one since our quarterback is out with an injury
That is all folks.
I spent like $75 on ON workout clothes (plus a cute fleece jacket that was in the activewear section, but I will wear as normal clothing) yesterday. Don't know whether to genuinely or sarcastically thank Shauni for pointing out that sale...on the one hand, I needed new workout gear and it really was a good deal (I've spent that on just two pieces of exercise clothing before!) but on the other, I'm broke.
I feel TERRIBLE today. I never really got bad cramps or other period-y problems before, but this one is a killer. I feel like my insides are being twisted in a vice. Now I get what people complain about...I'm a freaking Midol ad or something right now: bloat, fatigue, cramps. Yuck. Guess maybe I should go get some Midol.
I want to shop SOOOOOO badly right now, except I really can't. I won't be wearing regular clothes soon, but it's too early to buy maternity stuff. Instead I've been looking at flats because my 4+ inch heel addition is probs not going to fly during the pregnancy.
Yesterday, I felt like @ss face, so I went home at 2, fell asleep as soon as I got home, woke up, had dinner while I watched Grey's and went back to sleep. Sad part, I am still tired!
I am simultaneously looking forward to and dreading telling our families this weekend. I know everyone will be happy and my plan for telling my fam will work and I can already hear my mother's shrieks of happiness through the time-space continuum, but for some reason, I just don't want to tell anyone.
Oh and the dog is being a pain, once again. He's been licking this spot on his foot non-stop and its turned into this hairless, pink sore called an acral lick glanoma (or something like that). The interwebs says it's due to psychological issues and being depressed and I am SO not giving my dog antidepressants. We've covered it up and correct him whenever he goes to bother his foot and it's been getting better, but he still tries to lick his foot a lot.
Ugh, when am I gonna stop being a debbie downer?
I think I need some retail therapy.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
But, but, you have Carson Palmer now! He he.
Oh, QoA, how I miss my high heels! I have one pair that's like 2.5-3 inch that I still wear to work a few days a week, but otherwise I haven't worn any in a few weeks. Sigh.
Brew, did you end up keeping the dog? I thought it was going to be MIL's? But dang, it is cute!
Nothing really exciting here. Because I ate lunch at 10:45 yesterday due to being starving and having a meeting from 11-1, I was hungry for dinner super early yesterday, so we went for a walk to our favorite Mexican place with the pooch. And boo, this reminds me that I forgot my half burrito at home! Shoot.
This weekend is all baby, all day. We've got to Scotchguard the PBK chair, since it's much whiter in person than it looked to be from the little fabric sample, finish putting away baby stuff, and do our BRU completion purchase. Oh, and finish my thank you notes from my work shower. Sheesh I really hate them, but the are totally necessary.
Hahaha.
