Anyone have something to complain/vent about?
Mine is that we have to use all of H's vacation time to go visit family. Not that I don't love his (and my) family, but I would rather take a real vacation. Like to an actual vacation destination. That doesn't involve 4 days of travel time in a 12-day trip, plus dealing with crazy/neurotic family members. **sigh** Fingers crossed that we can go ANYWHERE for our anniversary in July, even if it is only a few days.
Also, although I've lost a good amount of weight since January, it's been stagnant over the last month and I'm getting frustrated. But I'm sure it'll come off at some point, I just need to step it up.
I've had a cough for a week and a half and I want it to go away!
I'm sick of getting furnace/AC quotes. I wish someone would just tell me what to do. I don't want to listen to another lame sales pitch. They're all the same.

MH decided that after 3 1/2 years of no contact with his parents, it's time to drive to MD to see them Father's day weekend to hash things out. I dread this weekend and it's going to be nothing but annoying. At least I convinced him to stay in a hotel.
Tonight I will be working a bit late and then MIL comes down for dinner EVERY Wednesday. Don't get me wrong I LOVE her to pieces but she asked if we wanted to do a bible study with her about Daniel. DH agreed because he didn't want to hurt her feelings but I'm dreading EVERY.SINGLE.MOMENT.
We've already watched 1 hour of this 13 week course a few weeks ago (each section is an hour long). That hour seemed to take an eternity to be over. I have enjoyed some of the others she has brought down for us to watch. I enjoy learning all the history and theology but I am just not stoked about Daniel. Plus the lady on the DVD leading the study is just so annoying with her half faked southern draw. And her constant repetition of these biblical names that are 26 characters long make me want to poke my ear drums out with sticks. Plus we always do carry out from Bob Evan's or Panera and I'm sick to death of both. Grrrr!!
I went to Home Depot to get auto body filler for my outdoor furniture rehab project and though they have six cans in stock, they were doing something in back and could not go get one for me. He said I could buy the bigger size for double the price or come back at the end of the day. Great a-hole, I'll go buy it (and the rest of my list) at Lowes.
Our home inspector missed the fact that our circuit panel has wayyyy too many tandem circuits and even though three electricians have told me that it's something he should have caught, he said it doesn't fall under the inspection. There is also an article on tandem outlets and how inspectors should calculate if they're acceptable on the ASHI website. Good thing I can go bitch about it on Angie's List!
I'm strong, healthy and pretty in shape. However what's let of my damn baby belly will not go away! It's frustrating. But I'm also not willing to give up my carb addiction at the moment, so there you have it!
My best friend is driving me insane. She's always been judgemental but it's been worse lately. Long story short her and her H are have IF problems and both have different ideas on how to handle it. Having been in her shoes, I totally understand where she's coming from but she's starting to take it out on other people's kids and it's starting to bother me. That was something I refused to do. I don't think it's fair or appropriate.
Long story short, she's attacking the parenting of another friend of ours who has twins and I don't see anything attack worthy about it. Twins are whole new ballgame which BFF doesn't understand and our mutual friend is a good Mom quite honestly. She doesn't have any out there parenting tactics, she actual does parent her kids well, so I don't see what BFF is so upset about it.
It's odd and I can't even agree with BFF when she calls to b*tch about this...like weekly.

I realize now, 2 years later, that going into business with family is the biggest mistake you will ever regret. Because when people try and warn you of something, someone is going to get offended and say they're just starting stuff and cause a lot of drama.
It's a long story, but basically, someone my "partners" decided to make a business deal with is backing out of a deal made with someone who we are friends with (and who buys from us) and this person wanted to warn us so we didn't get burned as well and they are taking offense to it. Somehow, something was said about ME being up this person's butt (she's a friend of my H's that he has known since he was a freshman in high school and he considers her to be a second big sister -- he ALSO works with this person's father, so it's not some random person or anything!) and I'm really really REALLY annoyed. To the point that I would just quit if it weren't for the fact that I love doing the stupid stuff so much. Actually, if something is said to me about the situation, I may very well throw a hissy fit, since I wasn't involved in the business decision at all.

I had been looking at listings for a place at the beach (modular type home, nothing fancy, just a place to sleep/eat) - found a GREAT one that was very afforable in the exact area we wanted. Beautifully maintained. And....I called today and it was just listed under contract yesterday
My nose is producing entirely too much snot, my throat is sore from coughing all the time and all the drainage and all the sand I breathed in over the weekend. There is pressure behind my ears and eyes.
I hate seasonal allergies.
I'm also very much over my job right now. I am thinking that I would love change of pace but need to find something that would pay the same.

My sister in law is the rudest person I know but yet she continues to call me rude because she can't interrupt text messages.she always takes them to the wrong extend. So I told her today that any communication with our family can go through dh since she only interrupts me as rude. She is so self centered and thinks she's only person pregnant right now. I'm sorry my life does not revolve around your pregnancy.
