Tuesday Randoms....
I have had 4 vanilla tootsie rolls, a can of ice tea and pretzels and its only 11.
I keep telling myself that I'm gonna start Christmas shopping now, so I don't leave it for last minute, yeah hasn't happened yet.
My birthday is on Saturday, and I could really care less, It was more fun when I was little.
TMI- I got AF this morning and I feel like a hot mess.
Re: Tuesday Randoms....
Whoa... Whoa wait.... Thanksgiving is next week?!

- Last night was my first night sleeping home alone without Chris ever since we moved in together. It was weird and I missed him. So I sent him an Edible Arrangement at work this morning to tell him that.
- Friends are getting married in Vegas in April, which means we now have a destination for our annual trip somewhere. It just happens to coincide with my 30th birthday, so we're gonna do it up. Also? We may have to spend a day waiting outside the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, but we weill get in. Oh yes. We will get in.
- I wrote two new blog posts yesterday... *nudgenudge*
- Thanksgiving is next week?!?!?!

I was giving an IQ test and just had this conversation with a kid:
Me: "Write your name and age on these blanks. How old are you? 10 or 11"
Kid: "I'm 10, but I'll be 11 in February."
Me: "Oh ok......"
Kid: "So should I write 11?"
Who thinks this kid is gifted?
I know, right?!
I am super bummed that no one will be in town to celebrate my birthday. So me, Jon and my mom are going bowling. Woo, way to ring in year 25. Plus I have no idea why turning 25 is upseting me. I think it might be because I am finally realizing that I am not a kid anymore and that all our friends are starting to settle down and get married and start families too.
Once again co-irker called in sick using the same excuse. Our bosses are on to her, but never bother to do anything about it. So now I have to stay later today to help out.
I wish it was the week of Thanksgiving so I could get all my ribbon I need on black friday and put my christmas tree up
Yeah, this is totally blowing my mind.
Our health coverage for 2012 isnt changing and I can't tell you how excited this makes me. The last few years our premium hass been going up and up.
BIL works on Thanksgiving and wanted MIL to make dinner at like 930 AM. I cannot eat turkey at 930 AM. Sorry. Thankfully, she decided to continue with the noon schedule.
I hardcore judged a FB friend who says her kid only eats four foods.
I think for vacay next year we're just going to the beach for four days and the finger lakes for four days so that we can go back to Jamaica in 2013. This excites me, but when I was putting in my leave time through April I got a little sad that I didnt have any time to put down.
My dad's best friend's son was killed on Friday night by a drunk driver and now my mom is being a TOTAL spaz about stuff. Sunday Andy and I went to a medieval feast and she was like, "Be careful driving in the dark." "Pay attention to cars." "Don't drink anything!" I appreciate her concern but I want to be like... you know the guy was a 12 year cancer survivor and an 8 year clean cocaine addict, it was just his time. I could die crossing the street if its my time.
It's a milestone birthday; I felt like that too... It is a big fat reminder that yes indeed you are a real grown up. I will tell you that the grown up feeling gets easier since at 32 I'm still glad the kid in me is still celebrating!
Random: High calorie but delish Choco Vine is freaking fabuloso (red wine and chocolate alcoholic beverage for those who have not indulge)...
I think until Nate is in preschool I may never lose these 10 pounds and I'm ok with that...
- I just got a letter returned to me that I sent to a customer that is postmarked Sept. 12th. WTMF, USPS?
- I really just wish I had the cash to do all my Christmas shopping in one swoop so I wouldn't have to worry about it.
- My sister wants a housekeeper for Christmas. She seriously has the cleanest house of anyone I know. Especially considering she has three boys!
- Absolutely no motivation today whatsoever.
- Want ice cream but it makes my achy tooth ache.
How are you paid- Weekly or Bi-weekly? Since we're both bi-weekly, we kinda use one of those end of the year "extra" paychecks as our holiday shopping cash since neither of us really get bonuses. So there you have your lump of cash to get it all done in one fell swoop!

Thanksgiving is going to cause me to break out in hives and hide in a corner. We originally had 22 guests now were down to 12. BIG difference there. People make up your freaking mind and tell me yes no or even Maybe. I dont care- I just need an answer.
Christmas is going to get me if Thanksgiving doesnt- babysitters cost too much for me to have leftover moola for gifts. I could have purchased a car already in the three months of babysitting I have paid for.
I dont feel like working. AT ALL.
Ive been having such bad headaches lately that I am going to the eye dr next week and have to call and make an appointment with a neurologist.
I just napped for 2 hrs while the baby napped to try and get rid of a dull ache on the left side of my head.
Next week is thanksgiving and I don't even know where we are having dinner. I told H to talk to his mom to see if we were going there but he still hasn't.
H has off all next week so we are doing all our christmas shopping then.
I thought about getting a seasonal job just to get some time out of the house and have extra spending money for christmas so I saw that Yankee Candle was looking for seasonal help, so I went it. I was told that I was not qualified to work there bc I have no retail experience. I do however have a Masters and the experience to teach the high school kid who told me this but not enough to sell a candle.
Bi-weekly, but I also get a commission check on the 10th of each month. This month's was kind of sparse so I'm waiting on the December one. It should be much better!
I bruised my knee at a bar a couple of weeks ago with a friend at a bar. It is still bruised and sore to the touch, i am now afraid I chipped my kneecap.
When the movers disassembled my couch a used condom wrapper popped out. Oops. I blushed, said "safety first" and threw it away. Then I mentioned my husband a thousand times unnecessarily so they didn't think I was a wh0re. Don't know why I care since I'll never see those people again.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I almost spit out my tea when I read this...
This made me LOL.
I am in a pissy mood. Like, don't mess with me kind of mood. I had a rough weekend with H, which was totally my fault because their was an argument that I started after drinking too much wine, and I was way out of line. Everyone at work is driving me crazy, and I love when you are in a bad mood, and then other people feel the need to point out that you are in a bad mood. Thanks for the obvious, and for making me despise you even more right now.
I need a vacation.
Sorry for the vent, I needed it.
This... Having a nanny even just 3 days a week is pretty much a small mortgage. Now I remember why I loved my nanny job back in the day...
