I made my Discover card put up a fraud alert with too many Zappos and Amazon orders this morning, guess i should have just checked out once. Oops. It was quick- I got the alert on my phone before I got the Zappos rejection screen during the order. Discover was really quick to release it when i called. I'm boredom shopping, which is really bad for my checking account. I'm trying to stay away from my favorite online clothing store.
I am so annoyed by this tax increase...I knew it was coming but physically seeing it on paper makes me sad. I am also having these overwhelming feelings of never being able to get ahead on our financial situation. I feel like for every step we take forward - it's followed by 3 steps back. Pity party for one!
My group sucks at being on time to meetings. This morning my 8am meeting was rescheduled at 8:25. So I sat around for 25 minutes waiting for someone to decide when it was going to happen. Grrrr!!
I have been sick since December 27, and I think I'm actually getting a new illness right now. My cold and cough has changed to include aches and a fever. Grrrrr.
On the plus side (I guess), our plans for this weekend include two trips to the burbs, so I'd be taking it easy either way and won't be foolish enough to have late drunken nights despite illness, or to be sad that I can't join my friends for their late drunken nights because of my illness.
I am so exhausted. And since I don't think the little starbucks at work can do the treat rewards in their system, I didn't stop, but I should have.
I also freaked DH out this morning b/c I woke up with a horrific charlie horse in my left leg. It was like dead sleep to "OMG make it STOP, make it STOP!"
V - I've been sick since 12/14 and today was the FIRST day, I've noticed that I'm not sniffling or coughing.
This nasty cold thing that's been going around is NEVER ENDING.
And the last cold thing that I got lasted forever too! I was sick for a solid month in August and September. This is kind of making me scared of supergerms.
ETA: my husband said yesterday that he thinks it is because I'm eating unwashed apples. Then I got scared that he had found this board and was reading my posts or something, so I was like "What do you mean?" But apparently I had announced it to him the other day too. I think cold medicine is making me not remember anything. He says that I also woke him up three times last night between 5 and 6 to tell him that his alarm had gone off (the clock is on my side of the bed, and when it goes off I have to wake him up because otherwise he'll never hear the alarm), even though it was set for 6:15 so it hadn't gone off yet. During one of these episodes, I apparently turned it off. Then I woke him up for real at 6:20 when I was like "Did you forget to set your alarm? I think it was supposed to go off a few minutes ago?"
I made a bunch of overly-detailed to-do lists for the next few days to help me feel productive during this time off. I can't get motivated for the cleaning, though. Does anybody have any good suggestions for a Pandora station to play while I clean? I need something energizing. Green tea isn't cutting it.
This is probably a brag-plaint. I am losing weight (which I need to and want to) but I don't know why. I feel like I've been eating poorly, but the weight comes off. I will be thankful and accept this baffling gift from the weight loss Gods.
My paycheck is only half of what it normally is. I wasn't paid for when I went to my sister's graduation or when I was off for Christmas break. We only get 2 paid personal days per year. I'm trying desperately not to touch my savings even though I have saved for these things. It's rough!
I have set a deadline for myself. I will be turning in my 2 weeks notice on Feb. 14th even if I don't have a job lined up. I will move in with my sister and get a job of some kind there. H stopped my by work one evening this week to see if I really was where I said I was going to be. I need to get out of the area. I have applied to 9 jobs this weeks, I'm hopeful it doesn't come to needing to move in with my sister, but I will if I have to.

They're talking about blankies and childhood stuffed animals on ML and I just found an exact replica of my old blankie on ebay for $20. I really really really want to buy it. I should just do it, right? My mom still has mine but it's all stained and ripped and this one looks very gently used.
It is our 7 year anniversary today. We had an argument yesterday, w/ him claiming he told me something and that I forgot. He bought me two dozen roses, in case I forgot that he bought me the first. Ha ha. Only one of the arrangments is really ugly and he spent a lot on it.

Let me know if there is anything I can help with. If you know what I mean.
I'm so, so confused by wtf is going on in ML. I missed whatever was the longest GBCN thread in history and am so out of the loop. I obviously have no good reason to be in the know, I'm just a nosey person.
i'm meeting a friend for dinner tonight to plan a vacation to Russia in June. i haven't had a real vacation since jan 2009 and i'm so excited i can barely sleep. i spend every free moment googling about russia.
