We had a contractor come over to our house yesterday and give an estimate on building some walls in our second floor, as well as some built-ins. I'm so excited, because it means that our bedroom will have a door! We'll also gain a linen closet, which would be so wonderful. The bedrooms in my house all have decent sized closets, but there is not a single linen/hall/utility closet in the whole damn thing. Doors and storage! I am so excited!! Now I'm just waiting for the estimate, and hoping that it's not too far outside my budget.
The fancy coffee machine in our break room has been broken for months, and it is finally fixed today! And I have a cute new coffee mug, which is making it taste extra delicious.
One of my friends made a snow machine. We tried it out this weekend, and it actually worked. It was fun to play in the snow.
Re: Randoms
I looooooooove built-ins. I want a crazy house full of built-ins and secret cupboards and those under-stair pull out storage shelf things that people keep pinning on Pinterest.
My boss is grouchy today and this is the kind of day that I wish I had more office mates.
I have therapy this afternoon and I'm looking forward to unloading some mom guilt. I also have guilt about going to my therapist with non-eating disorder related stuff because that's her specialty. I'm not by any means "cured," but I don't really have much to sort out in that regard right now and I feel like I'm wasting her time, kind of, talking about other stuff. But I like her so much and I don't want to start over with another one. I think this is all in my head.
Boxer, my dog walker is fostering a boxer named Sasha and she's adorable and it made me think of you. If you ever want a third, you should come to Boston and rescue her. You could call her Basha or Tasha. Or teach your dogs that names spelled differently are two different names.

Yesterday we made a low(er) fat buffalo mac and cheese, and the taste was so disappointing.
I really, really hate writing narratives for my resume. It's like 3 or 4 sentences, and I've been putting it off for weeks.
I'm considering quitting HIMYM.
I don't think you should feel bad about that. That might be her specialty, but it doesn't mean that it's the only thing she deals with. In the end, you have a good relationship with her, and she's still helping you
Ohmahgahsocute! I love her ears, and her annoyed expression. My dogs always look like that when the groomer puts bandanas on them. Considering I'm about to have Duke and Luke, I think I should be able to work with the Sasha/Sascha situation.

Oh, don't move further out! At least stay inside the 270 loop.
There's a better than good chance I'm up the duff but I've been too chickenshiit to test.
!!!!! You should test now. Then report back.

I'm so happy for them. They lost one of their boxers, Dozer, to canine degenerative myelopathy around Christmas so I know this is helping them heal.
This was Dozer. He had some sweet wheels to help him get around!

Me too. The Chris Elliot stuff is too much for me.
Audrey!! Go test now! Nooooooooooooooooooow!

Uggg. Yes. Those coupled with all of the "Wait, who is Paul McCartney?" posts make me weep for humanity. *
* I realize that abuse and not knowing a Beatle are not entirely the same level of bad
Whitney won't get out of my head. All of her songs have been on loop in my head since Saturday and it's getting ooooold.
Boston's previous owner wrote a really nice message on my Facebook wall yesterday (the 4 year anniversary of his adoption) saying she is so glad he lives with us now. I got warm and fuzzy. :-) It was a really weird adoption scenario but in the end we got the BEST dog so whatev. You live and you learn. :-)
I'm procrastinating a whole lot this morning.
I have a bad feeling I'm going to be a miserable failure at charting now that I'm off BC.
I want cookies.

waaaaait, don't test, let's go to happy hour first!
Yes, not knowing PM is one the Beatles is much, MUCH worse.

No, I mean the descriptions of my responsibilities at my past and current jobs. I hate having to write them in resume language.
It's sad about WH but I'm not all broken up about it.. BUT, Wendy Williams had a breakdown in the beginning of her show comparing her own drug abuse with Whitney's, etc and I cried along with her.
For the first time in I don't know how long I went to bed before midnight, didn't have to get up for E in the middle of the night and slept straight through till B woke me up at 7. For some reason I'm exhausted. I think I got "too much" sleep.

I have this weird Facebook thing where I'll stay off for weeks because I'm feeling a little too self-absorbed (more life-absorbed) to read about everyone else and make sure they're all okay before I comment on a stupid video or whatever. Because what if they're not, and I make a joke on a status update, and they're wondering why I didn't say anything about their mom's cancer or congrats on their baby. And the truth is I just didn't scroll down far enough? Gah, FB is not for the speshul.
Also, I found out this weekend that shirts almost always hit me at awkward, riding up places because I have a Long Torso. Which apparently hides my fat when my shirt isn't creeping up to expose it. And now I know what a long torso is. If I can figure out how you can put on eye shadow using three brushes maybe I can be a Real Girl.

Dude, why do you think I'm putting this off? Until a couple days ago I'd been drinking like a fish, haven't been taking vitamins, gulping green tea, etc. Ignorance is bliss. But seriously, folks, I'm at work and should probably talk to my husband first. There's also the slight possibility my last period was not, in fact, a period. I'm a hysterical pregnancy terrible mom.
Are there giant hamster turds in it? I'd be pissed.
I was going to go to the gym right after work, but I will postpone to get a beer with you and work out slightly buzzed if you want. Just say the word.
B!tches are dropping like flies left and right. I will be completely friendless 7-8 months from now when everyone begins their 12-month-drop-off-the-face-of-the-earth-bc-I-have-a-new-baby social life sabbatical. I went to a girls' night dinner the other day and got hit with two pg announcements at once. Whoa is me.

What's this about green tea now? That's bad?

One of the things we're having at Delilah's Sesame Street themed party this weekend is fried chicken and I really want to label it Big Bird. But, I'm guessing that would be wrong.

You look great and make witty quips like this? Can I sit at your lunch table?
Pffft, it's not like the toddlers can read.

Shucks. I feel like Badger set up for that one. Softball, really.
It was something I remember from being pregnant with Jane. My doctor didn't care, some may.
Fent, I'd love to, but I promised we'd clean the house tonight. Let me see what this week is like.
This season has been torture.
