Tuesday Randoms
1.) I was really pissed off this morning because a bunch of my ads had been listed on our website under the wrong city (they'd been listed under Little Rock which is like 4 hours away.) And then, they took forever to fix it. I hate it when other people screw up and I wind up looking like a jackass to my client.
2.) It's 1/2 price drinks all day today at Sonic. I got a Route 44 raspberry tea this morning, and I plan to stop on my way back from lunch to get a large vanilla diet dr. pepper. Om nom nom.
3.) I just foiled the plans of my office mate who takes too many days off by putting in a request for a day off before she could put in a request for the same day. It actually was an accident (I actually do need the day off because my mom is going to be in town) but I'm quite pleased about it.
4.) OPI is coming out with the cutest line of Minnie Mouse inspired polishes and I want them all.
Re: Tuesday Randoms
1. I brought a vase of lilacs from the backyard into my office, but the scent feels very strong in my little office. I'm kind of getting a headache. Which makes me sad, I love the smell of lilacs.
2. I had crazy good sexy time last night after being gone all weekend.
3. I'm loving having 2 computer screens up in my office right now - I have them shared, so my personal email, TN, and WC is up on my laptop screen, while my work email and Excel spreadsheets are up on my big monitor. How did I ever live with one computer screen?!
Little one must be growing today because I'm exhausted and starving. I ate about 2 cups of multigrain cheerios, three glasses of water an a small cup of coffee all before 10 am and I was ready for lunch at 11:30 so I'm now just finishing a double order of mac-n-cheese and about to get started on my ginormous salad.
My debit card is one little cm away from being split totally in half. It's nearly 3 years old and expires in August so I was hoping it would make it so i don't have to request a replacement card. This card also still has my madian name on it because despite filling out all the name change paper work they still sent me a new card with my old name right after we got married. My statements and online account all show my married name though.
Okay, I know I'm a fattie and all so maybe my perspective is screwy, but I don't feel like this is a lot of food.
Two more:
- I bought three things from Zulily today. None of which I needed but I only spent about $40 total. I got a cute little crystal headband, a silver bubble long necklace and a pair if fergalicious black pumps. The pumps I sort of needed because the nails are coming through the heels of five different pairs of shoes, so I'm a bit limited until I get them fixed.
- I finally initated sexy time on Saturday night and it was fab. My mojo is coming back! Joel was so surprised and happy that he made me breakfast the next morning, gave me a fabulous neck and back massage with oils, cleaned the kitchen up and did the cat box without me having to say anything about it. Sex really is the key to a happy marriage!
No it's not really but typically my stomach isnt still growlin after that. I should have eaten my oatmeal in addition to it. The amount of food I'm currently eating for lunch though is pretty impressive even though it's only two things, it's enough to feed at least one other person.
1. You guys are making me want to go to Sonic and see if our drinks are half price too. Mmm, Sonic.
2. I just had cold pizza for lunch and it was amazing.
3. I did not freeze or drown in the quarry yesterday, even though the water was 59 degrees. I discovered that 10-14mm of neoprene makes you float really really well, which makes scuba diving a lot harder ('cos, you know, the goal is to be under water). I think diving in Cancun will be a lot more fun.
4. I had to exchange/return some stuff today and ended up spending another $75 on stuff I probably didn't need. Oh well.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
I fell down at work an hour ago. I hit my head and in doing so got a chunk of hair caught in the door jam thing and have a huge bruise on my arm and hand. Not one person bothered to help me up. They just stood by their desks and said oh are you alright. I am ok, but a little help would have been nice, this hurt like a biitch! Damn heels.
I have a dual display at home and it is amazing! When J wanted to set it up I told him I didn't think I would ever use it, but to go ahead if he wanted to. Now I have no idea how I survived without it.

1. I biked 18 miles yesterday, but then fell down the stairs bringing mike bike to the cellar. I have a bruise on my upper leg in the shape of a martini glass.
2. I know it is warm, but I have seen way too many men with no shirts today that should be wearing shirts. If you are a dude with larger breasts than me, cover it up.
Ouuuuch. Are you okay? Did you report this to HR?
Oh yeah I am fine, just going to be sore for a few days. I just tripped over my own feet and if HR gets involved I would have to go to the hospital for a drug test and a bunch of other bs. I just laughed it off because I am more embarassed than anything.
Gotcha. I understand! Just take it easy!
It took me 12 minutes to input my salad ingredients into the WW points calculator.
I am waiting for my wtf is wrong with my body now appt to see what my dr wants to do with my failed reproductive system.
I got to give someone a quilt today and it was awesome!
Stand up for something you believe in.
Mary -- good luck at the WTF appointment.
And how much stuff do you put in your salad that took 12 minutes?? Remember fruits and veggies are 0 points, so all you need to add in are nuts, dried fruit, dressing, cheese, etc.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Thanks. Apparently my lining sucks. Extra internals for everyone! No wait, just me.
And not all of them are 0- especially if you eat a bunch of something-plus I want to keep an accurate log of everything I put into my mouth, so i am logging everything even the 0 point stuff.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I woke up at 2 this morning with the worst case of chills and fever, I took my temp and it was 101.4, after taking some aspirin, my super bad headache has gone down a bit, but my temp as of a half hour ago was 102.... I'm pretty sure it's mastitis and I'll have to go to the dr for antibiotics if we dont work it out by the morning.
Oh and my lousy car didn't start this morning... Lame.
Oooooh sonicccc... I'm super jealous.
Oooh geez! That's no good. Hope you're in the mend soon! Definitely get it checked out, the sooner you can get on meds the better.
Thanks! My fever went down last night. I'm still sore, but I'm debating going to the doctor at this point. I'll keep doing hot compresses and let Jesse do the work.
