We got new vending machines at work. They take credit cards. Happy New Year to those of you that started off on a diet, fatties! WTF.
I did not get a job I interviewed for. I expected it, but I'm super sad about it for some reason. I really wanted to get out of this place.

Buddha, I'd give it until March until the treadmills show up on CL. There are probably some good deals in the stores for new ones now, though.
I tried the yogurt ranch dressing that I think Christin recommended on here ages ago today. It's pretty darn good.
Who here uses an envelope system app? I'm trying to do better on tracking my "fun" money, and I can't download mint because I still have my crappy 3G. I tried a free envelope system app, but it sucked. Any recs?
The friends that I introduced almost two years ago just got engaged.
boo to the job.
buddha i would start looking again mid feb.
i have a major food coma going right now. i didn't have breakfast and pigged out on lunch and now i just want to pop my jean snap and take a nap.
speaking of random, one of my favorite parts of the day is first thing in the morning when i go in to wake alison up for the day, because i never can predict what will pop out of her mouth. i don't know if she just lies there all night dreaming of something she was thinking about when she fell asleep, or just furtively glances around the room until she finds something to comment on I-love-lamp style.
this morning she said "take a bath?" then she rolled over her my pal violet dog and made it bark so she went "OH! it's vlidolet!!"
the day before it was "ooh, dinosaur?", "moon?" "mama's bear" "cousins, go seeum?"
Sorry about the job. Hopefully something even better pops up soon.
I'm giving blood today. I'm excited about this and I have no idea why. I wonder if I'll get a cookie?
I got a massage last night at the last minute, and it was awesome. I had asked for a half hour, but because we were chatting and her next client wasn't showing up for a bit I got one that lasted closer to an hour. Bonus massage! And I already get a discounted rate because she's my buddy.

Oh goodie, I was hoping for a random so I could put this in it:
So, yeah, we all know about Floyd and her husband issues, but I am side-eyeing her obvious preference between her kids. I know some of it is in jest, but for a woman who has so much self-induced stress in her life, I wonder how much is actually real. This is not the first time I have seen her make similar comments about the daughter versus the son.

Okla that stinks. I hate seeing a job you've applied for/interviewed for/whatever reposted. Ugh.
I have been cleaning vomit from a 3.5 year old for the past 3 days. It sucks. And my kid refuses to puke anywhere but the floor. You come near him with a bowl or try to go to the bathroom, and he starts to freak out, which then causes him to choke on said substances. I get it.
But, I don't think it is something to get mad about. I just think she is taking out her frustrations on her kid (who knows what she actually said to her daughter, but I get the impression the kid probably knew mom was pissed.
I'm really trying to look at it objectively because I know I've made comments about my kid in irritation that I wouldn't normally say. I really can't imagine talking about loving one kid and hating the other in the same breath though.
I am not a parent but I can appreciate how frustrating that must be. However,
"Gabe has only puked, not in a toilet or bowl, once. and it was at my mom's. and my mom cleaned it up.
Did I mention how much I love him?
Lila hasn't done it that much. 3 or 4 times. but she sucks. so.... "
makes me really sad. It never ceases to amaze me how people will just gloss over things on ML if they like the person and not call them out. I think if someone said that hear no matter how much the person was loved they would get a whole lot of
and wth's.
Ok. That is bad. I sincerely hope that is a joke.
Yup, that's exactly the part that made me go "Eeeewww" too
I'm pissed, because we were given less than a full day's notice that a social worker from the school district will be coming to our house tomorrow to evaluate M. This is part of our battle to get him services, and it's been such an uphill battle we can't ask them to reschedule. Besides, I'm sure they did this on purpose because they want to catch us as naturally as possible.
The problem is, we've been away for 10 days, and just returned before the work-week. Not to mention, we've been focusing all our extra energy on getting our adoption paperwork in order. So we have Christmas gifts and still-packed bags all over the living room, and lining the stairs (each time we go up, we bring something up). We were planning on using the weekend to do some re-purposing of rooms/furniture and then putting everything back in its place. This is not the time I want an unexpected social worker visit...especially one that's not working for me.

CS - hopefully they did it knowing full well that it is 6 days out from the holidays. A messy house with bags and gifts should not raise any concerns.
And, on another note, yay board wars.
well, we all think her daughter sucks too. so...
aw... someday, if I work really, really hard - I hope I can be a good mommy like you.
The same breath? You realize it was different days right? Not even the same day, much less a different breath.
Ughhhhhh
Step 1: Stop letting your H treat you like shiit.
Well, since I was referring to this...yeah..same breath.
I said I realized it was a joke. It's just not one I would make.

ok. do you guys do this on purpose? lol!
Oh! Oh, that post. Ok, yeah. Floyd clearly doesn't love her DD. Or at least doesn't love her as much as her son.
Has it really been this slow over here?
