Let's do randoms! (Monday edition)

Since moving to NYC, I've been trying to venture a bit more out of my comfort zone when it comes to fashion - baby steps, but I'll usually add in something that's a bit funky. Last night though I decided to go for a really classic look - black sheath, pearls, pretty heels, and I felt really great. I felt really me.

Bloodwork before work is a bad idea.

We are having frozen pizza tonight as we are trying to eat everything we have on hand up before we move a d I am so freaking excited for some pizza with ranch dressing.

Today was supposed to be my day off. I'm working from 1-4 today. I was supposed to make my lunch today, but I got lazy and didn't make anything again.

I'm having a good hair and really good makeup day and I am pleased ;D I may take forever to get ready but I think I don't turn out too shabby if I do say so myself. I'm also starting my own 30 day diet/fitness challenge and so far so good. Although it's only the first day. I feel confident though! We bought a bunch of healthy groceries yesterday so meals are pretty planned out for the week.

I am not accepting any more appointments to anything in city government. I am so sick of being challenged by people who have no idea what they're talking about. It makes me want to scream 'why tf did you appoint me to this position if you don't want science-based opinions before writing public policy'....
effing azzoles.

We were out of town pretty much the entire month of December (or so it seems) and out of the country all of last week. DD started back at school today and ballet tonight and I'm really relieved to be back on schedule. I'm actually excited about our Christmas decorations coming down and deep cleaning the house and getting it back in order. And I'm also looking forward to getting back to the gym since that's been pretty landing with all the craziness.

wow okay I guess I need to blow off some steam.

The holidays have ruined me for healthy eating. I'm still devouring chocolate like's it's going out of style. December is a total indulge-fest that takes me at least all of January to get over. Happens every year.

I put a little makeup on before I went to spin class. Not sure why though.

I sent a text to DH this morning that was meant for a friend. I was embarrassed when DH walked in the room about 10mins later. Thankfully he didn't say anything.

[pixy0stix]

The pink eye my DD gave me is finally gone. I was so excited to put on make-up today.

I forgot to grab last night's redbox rental before I left the house this morning. Now the idea of paying $1 in late fees is making me irrationally upset. We rented Looper, which was beyond horrible.

[love1999]

I am sick for the 3rd time in 2 months and really pissed about it. DH keeps getting stuff and then giving it to me. He gets over it quickly and mine lingers for more than a week. I have felt completely miserable since Friday. I really want to get better since my birthday is next week.

I'm really hoping my friends will go along with what I want to do for my birthday. Normally we just do dinner out and some of them won't come because it is in the evening and they have kids (and refuse to get babysitters) so this time I'm planning for bowling at this super nice bowling alley (full restaurant and bar, leather couches, cool lighting, etc.) but in the late afternoon or very early evening. We have to pay for the whole thing up front. Then we just have to hope our friends will voluntarily ask if they can pay for their part. We hate to straight out ask them to pay their way when it's for my birthday but don't really want to get stuck with the entire bill either. Ugh...I wish my friends were bigger partiers.

I feel ya on the face Carrots; I broke out this weekend for no reason though; so annoying!

This is stupid, but I hate my work desk. When cross my legs, apparently there's a rough spot and it ate my tights today. Two holes, too noticeable to keep. I think I am going to try putting tape over the spot or something to try to fix

[Laura Palmer]

I'm wearing my new Kendra Scott earrings - I never ever wear dangly earrings and I can't decide if I feel like I'm trying too hard or if they're too adorable for words.

H is out of town for work this week. I plan on eating ice cream and sour patch kids for dinner every night.

Ooh, I hate this. One of my previous desks had that on the 1" height thing that was perpendicular to the floor. Snagged many sweater arms and boob areas with that. Duct tape would be good if it's the underside of your desk. How annoying!

I do need to participate in this.

I woke up today with my eyelids swollen and the redness under my eyes just got worse and now all around both my eyes.
I have been sick with the cold/fever for one week now and I have gotten DH and the little tot sick as well.
DH has a 4-day weekend until tomorrow and on Friday I was really looking forward to him being off work for a few days so he can take care of me and the tot but nope, he is sicker than me right now. Ugh!!!
I also have no appetite to eat or energy to workout and since I've had fevers people have been telling me to take a rest day so I did take Sat and Sunday off but i'm still feeling crap today and I so want to work out!!!

Random post from a random poster.

We are planning a trip to Cancun in June with some friends, so I really need to pump up the exercise and eating better; however, I have just been so lazy. Plus working 50+ hours and weekends this month means exercise is the last thing I wanna do when I get home.

I've been gone or had guests in my house for the last 6 weekends - I'm so ready for Saturday to have the house back to myself and get back into our normal routine.

Doesn't need to be S&B if you prefer...



Since I only get a period once every 3 months, I feel like when I PMS, it is WAY worse than we I had one monthly.

This, it was this way for me too.

[NachoProblem]

HZ - my work desk sucks too!! I'm wedged between a couple filing cabinets a la office space.

I am trying to decide if I want to stay here until 7 and do one more thing or push it off until tomorrow and bail early.... sigh.

Why are domestic flights so expensive right now? I flew ATL-SFO in Dec for $318, for some reason it's $350 to fly ATL to Philly in Feb. WTF???

Good grief! I'm so glad I fly for free!!

Highlarious, I'm SO with you on that. My elimination diet starts next week. On a definitely related note, my face has been awful, but I know I only have myself (and the awful, devilish cheesemakers of the world) to blame.

I'm excited to get back to eating good for me stuffs!

My supervisor at practicum agreed to write a rec letter for a fellowship I am applying to, then later tells me I have to write it, all the while telling me exactly what to write (time he could have spent writing it himself). Then today, after I wrote it, we spend 45 min going over it. This would have been horribly annoying, BUT, he told me all of this really awesome stuff I should add. Birthday ego boost ftw!

[teeah22]

I had to go buy fat pants today since nothing is fitting. I feel so defeated. But on the upside, I did start back at the gym this weekend. Hopefully I won't have to wear the fat pants for too long. I just booked our Cancun trip (only $326 for the flight!) so that's definitely a motivating factor.

I currently have bronchitis, pneumonia, and the flu all at once. DH doesn't have a day off until Friday leaving me completely on my own. I'm hoping to get well enough to see Princess Diana's dress collection before it's gone on Sunday and for DH and I to make the Grace Potter concert this week too. I had to miss hanging out with some friends last weekend that I was really looking forward to seeing especially since DH promised we'd meet up.

Also, the replacement Android that DH got this week has crapped out in under 30 hours. I love my IPhone 5 though! I think he'll be getting an IPhone shortly.

Hope you feel better soon! I saw Grace Potter in December and she was awesome!

Today I ate waaaaayyy too much cookie dough than I care to admit. Must get back on the diet bandwagon! I'm trying to lose about 5-7 pounds in the next 2 months. Cutting way back on booze seems to be helping.

[bimbi284]

Ok....I'm watching E! News, and I am irrationally annoyed about all of the Kim K baby bump talk. They're talking about her "maternity wear" like she's supposed to be wearing muumuus. She's basically wearing the same stuff she always wears, and people are up in arms that its too "racy". These aren't maternity clothes. She's not even showing yet people. Settle the F*%($ down!

Thanks! We caught a short set last June and another show this past fall. I think knowing what I'll miss is making it suck and that they were a Christmas gift.

OH! Also, (and since this is the random post, I'm all over the place, ha), H and I saw a semi celeb at dinner last night!!

We went to DMK Burger Bar here in Chicago, and a dude that's on the show Underemployed (on MTV, filmed in Chicago), was the bartender! Totally random. Its this guy, he plays the character, Jamel.
