Please do.
The TIP'ers with super cute pets (imoan, doglove, motz to name a few) are making me really miss having animals around. Want to snuggle a puppy or cat!
After dating a lot of people over the last few months, I'm starting to tire out. Maybe it's time to choose one person. But the variety is fun.
Look with your special eyes.

We miss you and love you always, little firecrackers!
PEACHY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEEEN?
The snuggling at times is overrated. Last night I was on the loveseat with 2 dogs under my legs, so I ended up contorted trying not to squish them, and then foster pup decided he needed to sleep on my chest. I nearly fell off by the time they got themselves all comfortable. DH was on an otherwise empty couch.
I love my FI more than anything and would not trade him for the world.
That said, I have some regrets about not dating more aggressively when I was younger in order to meet someone at a younger age so that I could have had more children.
Then, I think about how my freedom is thisclose and the regrets go away for a short while, but then they creep back in. We have 3 pregnant women on my team at work and I am a little bit jealous.
ONLY??! I hate you.
MOVE AWAY FROM THE FROZEN TUNDRA!
no really a high of 55 kind of sucks, if it is going to be cold I want it to be a high of like 32. I am strangeeeeeeeeeee.
I have had this weird almost-cold for like 2 weeks now. Just enough to be annoying, but it comes and goes and never feels like it's a full-fledged cold. Weird.
I'm planning on reading on my Kindle Cloud Reader all day today (I'm working on Peyton Place).
I have another, glorious, obligation free weekend ahead of me. I've already told people not to ask me to do anything because, even though I'm free, the answer will be no.
I got another follower yesterday- WOOT!
My co team lead is coming back from her year in Calgary in about a week and a half. She wasn't team lead when she left. She's completely refreshed and she's all raring to go. She's been driving me nuts because she keeps saying things like "Just wait til I get back" and then completes the sentence will all the things I've already tried to 300000 times. The other day I told her "It's so cute! You're all refreshed and wide-eyed. I give you 2 months until you feel exactly like I do right now".
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
Only the very desirable lint.
I'll play.
I am "supposed to be" (my idea of course) working on getting this baby weight off (hello, the kid is 7 months old) so I've been taking her on these long walks and she loves it. When I got in from today's walk, I made one of those Marie Callender's fruit pies (look like pot pies) and holy hell was that good. I dont feel guilty.
Im supposed to be studying for a Chemistry exam. Um, yeah. Not in the mood.
Im feeling like I need to "refresh" my group of friends. These broads I've been friends with for years are really tiring me out. I think its time to make new friends..
When DH isnt around and MIL is visiting (ugh..)she keeps talking to me in GRAPHIC detail about her old sexcapades. Even when I give her this face
, she doesnt stop. So, I asked her "Why are you even telling me this?!" she says "We're two girls talking". Um. no. I told her that it needs to stop. F-O-U-L.
1. Just made reservations here: http://hugos.net/main.html for Friday night. So excited!
2. I'm wearing tights. At first it felt like I was on a school field trip in 1992. But as the day wears on I'm feeling good about it.
3. Work is becoming more toxic by the day. But I'm going to take their offer of paying for a pretty important industry designation and use that to leverage my way out as soon as effing possible ... if I don't find a better job first. The cost of the courses isn't going to break my bank if I move on while I'm still studying.
I just ate a piece of steak for lunch and now I am eating a pretty giant cupcake. It felt like a cupcake kind of day.
I am LOLing at the cupcake thing. I seem to remember other confessions that involved giant cupcakes!
It is so delicious. I'm going to pay on my 5pm run though. I know it.
Just regular old tights? Or are they hot pink or something?
Whoa, that whole menu needs to get in my belleh.
I bought a blazer because it was on clearance and super-flattering. The only problem is that I have no idea what to wear with it. It's a very dark charcoal, so pairing it with black doesn't seem right - it just makes me look like I'm color-blind. Light gray and khaki doesn't really seem right either. Haaaaaaalp!
I want to make some more friends, but I have no idea how to do that. Craigslist?
Motzie - this is my outfit. They're kind of turquoise.
ETA: Dear Photobucket, wtf, you are stupid.
Lint+licker (heee heeeee I love your new name) - SERIOUSLY. I cannot wait.
l+l- this is just for you!

Cute tights!
My randoms...
I'm disappointed in HIMYM. I feel like nothing has happened all season.
I want to watch Smash, but I'm an old lady and can't stay up that late and I'm poor, so I don't have DVR. I'll try to catch it online.
I stopped watching Glee awhile ago, but I wanted to see the Michael episode. I'll catch that online too.
Wow. All my randoms are TV related. I need a lyfe.
Nothing HAS happened in HIMYM all season, probably because the whole season has consisted of, like, four episodes. Blech. They should just make it the Kevin show. He's the most sympathetic character anyway.
I wish I'd gotten more out of dating before meeting The One. I dated a lot, but it was mostly pity dating, with those sad sack "nice guys" all the adults insisted we girls should like but didn't. I wish I'd actually said no more, you know?
I'm really, really farty today.
- I've become one of those people who measures out serving portions
- I'm so stinking excited to get a sewing machine this weekend.
- I have a ton more food related randoms and I'm thinking since I took a break from going out I'm totally refocusing my energy on that.
