I just applied for a promotion. I don't want it, but I have to apply now so I can hopefully at least be on the list for when my boss leaves b/c I want her job.
Ugh, why are Government resumes so bland? I feel like it was just a listing of everything to meet the key words in the job announcement.
I just decided to pull the trigger and RSVP to an alumni "get to know you" brunch for my sorority this weekend. I have very few close girl friends and I need to get out more. I hope it's not too awkward. Happy almost-Friday everyone!
Last day of my juice cleanse! I am down 5 pounds (and still have a day to go) and feel fantastic. Food baby is gone!
On the other hand, work has been vicious to me. We had a lunch for partners who were in from other countries on Tuesday (I skipped, but that was probably bad), pizza for a CLE yesterday (it smelled DELICIOUS) and then a wine reception for MORE foreign visiting partners last night (which I had to go to, but drinking beet juice while everyone else is drinking wine is rough). And my roommate from law school was in town last night for a client dinner and wanted to meet up for a beer beforehand and I couldn't go. It is so hard to time 3 days where you'll be happy without solid food or alcohol!
And apparently I missed the memo that when there's a chance of snow, even though when we woke up there was NONE, that means it's ok to dress like a slob at work.

Good luck! Many of my good friends are people I met through my sorority's alumnae group and through volunteering for my sorority.
I ordered my starbucks extra hot this morning for the first time. It is making for an awesome start to this freezing morning, and well worth walking the extra block in 3 degree temps.
My outdoor kitty got bit on his leg. It is super infected. Took him to the vet yesterday and he's on some high powered antibiotics and pain meds, but they are talking about amputating his leg on Friday unless there is a huge improvement He's in my laundry room now and has taken over the dog's bed, which I hope is a good sign and he's managed to eat and drink a little.

I hope your cat recovers and doesn't have to lose a leg.
I've been home sick since yesterday. My kid decides to wake up and party in the middle of the night last night, so it hasn't been a fun household. I am working from home today and there's a chance of a winter storm tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers that they will shut down my job and tell us to work from home.

I'm dragging my feet about leaving to get coffee. Weather.com tells me it's 5 degrees out but feels like -13. Kid 2 will go nuts if we don't go to the rec center, though.

Every time I see people talking about temps in the negatives I think, "that's fucking ridiculous." and "I can't even imagine living in that; How the hell do they dress to stay warm?"
We're going on week #2 with "cooler" temperatures, and i'm just about over it. I just don't have that many warm outfits. Hallelujah the high is 72 today.

I am sorry about your kitty cat RR1!!!
SO's mom fell down and went into a coma on Tuesday and they moved her to hospice yesterday. They are only giving her morphine - no fluids. I think this is standard protocol, but it seems kind of morbid. She has been in really bad health since I have known him. SO is very closed off about it. He just told me he needs to keep his mind busy so he doesn't fall into a deep depression. I know we have had major issues in our relationship we recently talked about them and began working hardcore to repair our relationship. I am scared that this trauma is going to cause SO to slip back into the behavior I have deemed unacceptable.

I can't imagine that low of temps either!!! Anything below 20 degrees is FREEZING TO ME!! I could never do brutal winters!
As of this morning, our apartment has no hot water To make it worse, H had to walk to his car this morning in single digit temperatures after a brutally cold shower. The car happened to be parked as far away has possible and still technically be in the complex parking. Poor H.
@ruralrabbit1 - so sorry to hear about your kitty. i hope the medication does it's thing.
@charky - congrats!
My random - today I used my new Diorshow mascara. Holy huge brush! It's bigger than my eye. And it has a weird smell. Or maybe I am just sensitive to smells lately since I feel like everyone around me is extra odorous this week.
