Can we do Whatevers?

[5kcandlesinthewind]

- We got a small, fake Christmas tree this year, so that we didn't have to deal with it. And yet, there are are still needles all over my house. WTF?

- Our dept. holiday party was on Friday, and the all-school one is today. It feels SO EARLY. I mean, it's barely double-digits into December. I guess that means I should maybe finish up my shopping.

- This morning, I put the cereal box back on top of the fridge, but it fell on top of me, and spilled all over the kitchen. So I cleaned up the kitchen, but apparently, failed to clean myself off completely. Because when I got to work, one of my coworkers said, "what's in your hair?" Yeah, it was a piece of cereal. I am Liz Lemon.

- My husband has stayed up late the past two nights watching football. Which means that even though I go to bed on-time and fall asleep, I get woken up when he comes in, and then can't fall back to sleep. This morning, I was pissed and tired, so I was extra loud banging around the house. Especially when the cereal fell. Passive-aggressive for the win!

- We got a fake tree this year as well, and I feel like it is such a cop out as I grew up with real ones, but I really do love it. No needles or watering!

- I feel like I've been surrounded by loud rude people recently. Last night we went and saw Skyfall, and an old couple proceeded to talk through out the entire movie. Then this morning I sat next to the loudest person on the T who was talking on her phone.

- My future MIL is seriously psychotic. She has the nerve to complain to my FI that I'm being "distant" and then talks smack about me to him behing my back, which makes me really want to open up to her. 8-D

- I'm making a visit to the resort where we are getting married in early March to check on things. So excited!!

You've probably said this already, vt, but where are you getting married?
And Rock, that is hilarious about your husband. I am cracking up over here. And I totally do the same thing.
Also, I have more:

- I just got an application for a program that lists the organizational budget as "EIGHT THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS." Either this dude is 3, or he's Dr. Evil.

- I got my college alumni newsletter in the mail the other day, and I was bemoaning the fact that all the updates are about people having kids. No one ever writes in to talk about their awesome promotion, or the new business they started, or anything else. H said, "they should call that Breeder's Digest." HEE! I still giggle when I think about it.

- I am annoyed that the people who ate most of my dark chocolate offered to replace it, but haven't. I want chocolate, dammit!

LOVE Breeder's Digest. Sounds like my facebook newsfeed some days.

I am consistently hungry for lunch at 11am. I think that means I need to eat a better breakfast.

My glasses won't stay on my face and it is so annoying. Every time I look down they slide down my nose and sometimes fall off if I am not paying attention.

[vtdiamond]

LOL, love "breeders digest"!

5KC - We're getting married in the Turks & Caicos on 4/20/13.
My avatar pic is actually a pic of the beach where we are getting married ;D

Rock, I do the exact.same.thing when DH is late. If I told him he'd think I was crazy.

Based on my MIL's behavior in the last few days, my not-so-great opinion of her is not getting any better

Mother of the Year here accidentally bumped DD twice at the Starbucks counter, leading to a bloody lip. And I was on the phone at the time, so I wasn't the most focused person in the world

I am irrationally annoyed that our work holiday "party is 4pm-6pm"... We used to have big huge parties & last year they ended up doing lunch at noon... so we could at least get out of work early... & I understand that there are people that don't get holiday parties or even have jobs, but my company is doing just fine despite the economy - they are just scrooges.

I am so relieved Dave doesn't have a holiday party for work this year. I hate those things. Plus I have nothing to wear since I'm now fat. Bah humbug!

Kids are sick AGAIN. I think I'm going to lose my mind this winter.

I have a friend who always thinks his wife and kids have been kidnapped if he can't reach them. He's nuts. He'll call his wife. No answer. He calls me and asks if she's here. Not in an accident or anything. First thing that goes through his head is kidnapped. This is the friend we're listing as guardian to our kids, too.

[drloretta]

Ville, that's funny that those are your kids' guardians!

ToddlerL is just fine. If I could have a dollar for every time she's bitten/split her lip, I'd be rich!

Glad to hear ToddlerL is good. I think you need to post another cute pic of her just so we can be sure

Your wish is my command



And holy crap, see the not so slight resemblance to her birthmom???

[5kcandlesinthewind]

Oh, she's adorable DrL! And she does look so much like her birthmom.
My friends daughter is such mini-her, it's scary, especially since she's now older than when I first met her mom.

[drloretta]

So Rock, DH is not home from the gym with DD yet. And now I'm starting to worry. Time for a phone call!!

[drloretta]

LOL, yep. Turns out I just missed them both at the Y as I was leaving yoga. They got home around 9.
