1. my bosses are leaving today for a 2 week vacay
2. my snack drawer at work is making my pants tight
3. tomorrow is Friday-yay!
1. I have two promising job leads. I'm trying not to get too excited but I'm hopeful.
2. I spent some time with my niece last night, she's the cutest baby in the world. the entire world. yes I know this for a fact. do not argue with me.
3. I'd like to punch my bf's brother in the face repeatedly for general douche baggery.
4. speaking of the bf, he's getting an iphone today. We both have blackberries now and I love my bbm, and now he won't have it, and I'm sad over that. How dumb is that lol
Online wish lists have saved my family sooooo much hassle. I showed my mom how to do it and now she can hand my dad, the world's worst shopper, a list of exactly what she wants and a picture of it. Now I don't spend Christmas Eve at the mall with him exchanging the pink bunny slippers for the cardigan in slipper pink.
There has to be a way to run in cold weather and not feel like my lungs are about to burst into flames.
I have to go to court tomorrow to finalize the divorce and I have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what to wear to look hot...just want to make sure STBXH realizes what he's missing out on!
Hooray!
Yeah I always dread winter running
Other truths:
I could easily spend thousands of dollars in Williams Sonoma
I wish I was wearing pj pants and a hoodie right now

Ditto... And his wife.
I hate being so stressed!
Looking forward to some quality time with BF and DSS at comicon this weekend!!! First one any of us have ever been to, not a big one but still!
P.S. - I get the whole not having bbm! I hated when I didn't have it! It's so convenient lol!
For real? I would so much rather run in the cold than the heat

There is a vital difference between "who" and "that" (i.e. the person that keeps leaving things in the fridge vs. the person WHO KEEPS LEAVING THINGS IN THE GD FRIDGE).
I get irrationally angry about grammar.
1. I didn't ride my bike to work today because it is too windy, BUT I didn't realize that the gas light on my car was already on and not happy with me.
2. My laundry is so backed up that I can't even walk into my laundry room.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
1- I took off work today & I'm getting a facial this afternoon.
2- Since my marriage crumbled, I've been reading self-help books non-stop.
3- I really like Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns ice cream.
I had birthday cake for breakfast yesterday and today...and plan to do so again tomorrow.
1. I'm in a wedding over T'giving weekend, the bride's bachelorette party is on Saturday, I lied to her about having a family obligation to attend that I couldn't get out of so that I could actually have a girls night with my sister and our friends.
2. I'm listening to 80's love songs on pandora and they just played "lost in your eyes" by debbie gibson. That song was huge when I was in the 7th grade. I'm 35, separating from H, no kids, no house, debt and I feel like an absolute failure. *sigh*
3. I have a lips gloss, chap stick addiction...I have 4 tubes at my desk right now! I need therapy...
For real.
The worst feeling ever is when you first walk out the door at 6 a.m. and you are FREEZING YOUR ASSOFF because you just got out of your warm, cozy bed, and now you're outside about to run, wearing clothes that would be appropriate for temperatures at least 20 degrees above what they are because you know you're going to be getting hot soon.
The. Worst.
I HATE being cold.
Not to mention the lungs on fire thing that I sometimes get too.
I prefer cold weather too (hence why I'm running outside...I refuse to do so during the summer). But, man, that feeling in my chest sucks. I tried breathing differently a couple of days ago like my dad taught me, but I made such funny sounds that BF had to stop and collect himself because he was laughing so hard.

I just read this and looked for the "LIKE" button to hit.
I'm drinking coke for breakfast (and it's not even diet).
I'm scared to death about what will happen when my boss leaves the company next week and I'm "in charge."
You srsly do.
But I love you for it
Could you explain this, please. I always thought "that" and "who" were interchangeable when speaking of humans, and "that" and "which" were interchangeable when speaking of non-humans, but "which" must never be used for a person.
The person who left food in the fridge ... =
The person that left food in the fridge ...
The fridge that had food in it ... =
The fridge which had food in it ...
But NOT
The person which left food in the fridge ...
(--> Just a difference of emphasis?)
And my truth: I used to spend hours searching for and making marinades from scratch, but after I used bbq sauce out of a bottle once my kids (13 & 15) were all "Wow, this is the best marinade EVAR" so now I almost always just use bbq sauce out of a bottle. Like the steaks that/which are marinating in my fridge at the moment.
"that" is for restrictive clauses (no comma)
"which" is for non-restrictive clauses (usually commas)
There is the bowling ball that killed him!
The bowling ball, which killed him, had rolled into a corner.
You should ALWAYS use "who" for people.
1. my ex-FIL died on Tuesday and I just called and left a condolence vm on ExH cell phone... and I cried. I really didn't care for my FIL, he pretty much drank himself to death, but it's sad that ExH has to lose his father at 38.
2. I almost caused a massive car accident this afternoon because I was thinking of the situation above. I ran a redlight. I suck.
3. This day sucks and I hope hot yoga tonight and D puts me in a better mood, and I don't cry on him.
I have eaten: an entire bag of sour brite crawlers (worms) and a piece of chocolate cake for lunch today to make myself feel better after a crappy morning at work.
(no, its not my bday either)
I am self sabotaging myself in my relationship, which I will be discussing with my therapist in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Yeah, what my sista said.
I am a horny beast and I had amazing drunk sex with BF last night and I can't stop thinking about it and blushing...I asked him for a quickie between jobs today and we shall see.
I've been better about money lately, but today I put a deposit on a car because mine I furiously hate with the fury of a thousand suns and I figured it was okay because BF and I promised each other to save every cent we get from now until we go to Amsterdam in February, plus it only raises my payment by $74 a month and the car is WAY better.
Annnnnd I really enjoy cherry coke zero. I drank 3 cans today. Just saying.
Thanks for this! I love vocab and grammar, and I honestly never learned this rule. Now I feel as if my life is one step closer to being complete.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou. A thousand times, thank you.
I am a person who likes grammar.
The food in the fridge, which has not yet gone bad, is good enough for my no good rotten teenagers for dinner tonight.
Did I get those right?
