tuesday randoms
1) I'm obsessed with the Taylor Swift - Civil Wars collaboration for the Hunger Games soundtrack.
Having yesterday off and no class tonight is screwing with my internal calendar. I have thought today was Thursday several times.
artichoke) Ethan came and told me every single time he pooped this weekend and then wanted to go sit on the potty. I'm so excited that he's making the connection. Now, I just need him to tell me BEFORE.
bratwurst) my grandmother's cancer has spread into her lymph nodes. They're still doing test to determine how bad, but I'm not feeling very hopeful considering her age and other health issues. I'm pissed at the universe for my poor grandpa.
Re: tuesday randoms
sorry about your grandmother, buddha.
now my randoms seem silly.
I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and I'm trying to decide if I want to keep my side bangs, grow them out completely or go back to having old school bangs. I'm bad at decisions.
I'm also PMSy and feeling very lonely latey. I don't really know why. I was thinking about it last night and I used to feel very lonely, but that's because I was. Before I met my H I didn't really socialize much. I'm shy and was a bit younger than my son's friends' parents and I felt awky with them. Now, I have my H and a nice group of friends, but I feel more lonely now than I did then. WTF is wrong with me?
Sorry about your grandma, buddha.
A) I only had to do 3.5 hours of work yesterday. Those 3.5 hours, however, stemmed from a request that I received at 9pm last night. Balls.
Hotlanta) We are probably going to Atlanta during Easter weekend because my aunt (Facebook aunt!) is bringing my grandpa there to see other family. This will be the first (and probably only) time he sees James. I know it's the right thing to do, but I suspect the trip will be crappy.
unpopular opinion) I cannot get behind use of the word "dayum" on this board. I say this with great affection for the users.
saccharine) On Friday night, James was sitting in the tub, and suddenly he started putting his little palm to his mouth and going "MUHH." After a few times, I realized he was blowing kisses. And then I died. (Evidently he learned this at daycare).
Sorry about your grandmother
Claire slept from 9 to 3 last night!! I haven't slept that long in 7 weeks!

I'm so sorry buddha.
I almost lost my shiit on my leasing manager over the carpet piss situation yesterday when I got home and nothing had been done. I was calm until he told me he disagreed that our apartment was unclean since there had not been a pet in there for over a year until ours.
Mr. Winged has been very loving and supportive with lots of cheerleading "you are doing such a great job" since I broke down the other night. it's sweet.
My cerclage is scheduled for 2 weeks from today. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
My randoms are all complaints lately. I just typed them out, but didn't want to be such a negative nelly.
Since Fran arrives home at midnight, I'm hopeful that I'll be done complaining by tomorrow.
Sorry about your grandma, Buddha.
HT, where do you stand on dadgum?
Mine is that I've been cold-rinsing my hair again and I hate that it's so manageable and shiny because I hate cold-rinsing my hair. That's why I quit doing it and block out how much nicer my hair is when I do it. Because cold water sucks.
I need to find my mojo at work. I'm slipping behind and getting overwhelmed and being overwhelmed just makes me say "Eff it, I'll do it tomorrow" and it's now been a week of tomorrows.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
It was right about that time that Dagger started having longer stretches! I hope it continues!
Mashed, I always get lonely and needy when I'm PMSing, regardless of whether it's warranted or not. I hate hate hate that.
Buddha, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma.
I can't really think of anything I should be doing at work right now. That's a decent problem to have.
Its going to be 75 degrees here tomorrow (68 today). It's February. Wtf.
Sorry to hear about your grandma Buddha, and I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so lonely Mashed.
I've gotten several things done this morning at work. I fear that may be the most productive I will be all day. I'd like to go home now (yes, it is 8:30).
I have hit the point of feeling too fat. My diet is completely disgusting, I feel fat on MY BACK, and my joints are constantly achy. I am ashamed to admit that I ordered three, yes three, Jillian Michaels DVDs from Amazon yesterday.
Kay, I'm also complainy. I just want to biitch all the time.
I am pretty sure I'm going to sign up for a pottery class. I think it will be good for me. And fun.
Buddha, I'm really sorry about your grandmother.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. That must be really tough.
I am being "iced out" at work, I believe. I decided to switch departments and told my bosses last Friday. Now it is radio silence from them. Oh well, I work from home today anyway.
I think I'm going to cancel the third interview I mentioned in my post from Saturday.
I have a friend that "is giving up on love. It's too late" for her. She's 31. I want to smack some sense in to her. Even when not resorting to violence, I have no idea what to say to her.
Echhh...I have a friend like that, too. I'd just say "good luck with that" and stop encouraging the conversation.
I am sorry for everyone who has the sads.
I can only get behind "dayum" when Gina follows it. I don't think we have a Gina on the board though.
Charlotte has begun speaking a language that consists of variations and inflections on "mommy". It's kind of Stewie-like. I took her to the doctor last week and she is a friggin monster.
I am meeting some friends and staying at the casino this Friday and I am excited. Even though there is a good chance we will all be asleep before midnight.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Why cancel it? Is the possibility of getting it really not worth a couple hours of your time at this point? I feel like you can wait until there's an offer on the table to decide if it's worth it or not.
Tell your friend there are more than 2 men in the world. She's being ridiculous and that may be exactly what you need to tell her (to shut up and stop feeling sorry for herself).
I am really sorry about your grandmother Buddha.
I am not a very happy person since going off BCP. I am bloated, my skin is awful, and I am grumpy and sad all the time too.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
it's been awhile, maybe that's what I need to liven things up.
I'm sorry Buddha.
Yay for Claire sleeping, CMC! Speaking of sleeping babies? Mine slept all night last night and I didn't even have to make him CIO.
The floor guys just called and instead of coming on Friday try are coming in 20 minutes. Big YAY because that means I can finally move stuff in tomorrow.
"Once I got a bath bomb that, once exploded, filled the tub with confetti. Little sharp metallic pieces of confetti. The product description said nothing about confetti. Oh look, there's a tiny, sharp metallic blue star stabbing me in the labia. HOW RELAXING. " - NoisyPenguin
Can I climb on your hormones suck couch? The skin problem alone is enough. Combine that with the rest and I'm a mess.
Hugs to you Buddha. So sorry about your grandma.
Mashed, what you're experiencing is GTG Withdrawl. I totally understand your sads.
HT doesn't like dayum because she is racist. FACT.
I'm wearing my old jeans today (and yesterday) because I'm all bloaty and didn't want to stretch out my new jeans.
I finished knitting the hat for Mr. Lindsay last night. I considered making eyeballs for it and just safety-pinning them on so he could match Mucho when he wanted, but then I got too lazy.

Daycare taught Delilah this as well. It is adorable.
Poor thing woke up with eye infections in both eyes yesterday. I feel so bad for her. What a horrible birthday gift. Now she has her well child care check today where she's supposed to get 5 shots as well.

Sorry about your grandma, Buddha.
Okla and Daria I've got $4 on them both finding love and then being the champions of the "you'll find it when you stop looking!" club.
I sent a resume/follow-up questionairre (they requested it as the second round of the process) to a job I would really, really love. It's in a totally different industry than what I'm in right now. I'm nervous to even speak of it, and I also have a sinking feeling that my written answers were so not what they're looking for. I hate second guessing myself.
I want to punch people today.
FALSE. I'm friends with KB, and KB dated a black guy. Ergo, NOT RACIST.
