monday morning randoms

[lightbulbsun]

1. I have to do a speech in toastmasters tomorrow and I haven't written it yet

2. Whenever someone has a post topic saying "am I the only one" or something similar, I just want to automatically post "yes" before I even see the content.

3. I haven't run in over a week and it's bumming me out. I feel lazy, but I've been really busy and haven't had time.

4. My dog woke up at 4:30 and started energetically licking my face (which is how she wakes me up every morning). Then H got up to get a drink of water and both the dogs started going crazy because they thought we were waking up and letting them out, and it took 15 minutes for them to calm down enough to go back to sleep.

1. I also have to write a soeech, for next Monday, and have no idea what topic to do (it's a persuasive speech).

2. I'm pretty sure I'm not KTFU, we tried exactly a month ago, and no positive tests yet. But, also no confirmation otherwise. I have my annual this afternoon so hopefully she can give me some advice.

3. We are trying to beef up our DP fund but all I want to do is go shopping. What's a couple hundred dollars either way, right?

1. My morning started from cuddles from my lili cat.

2. I am determined to have a good day today. 4 working days until vacation!

3. I randomly found a panera gift card in my closet. I love their chicken noodle soup

1. I'm way more excited about applying for a new job than I should be. I love my job now, and it's "easy-" 5 miles from home, close to daycare, flexible, but I'm still so excited. I hope that if I am offered it, it pays a lot more.

2. I have crazy baby fever again. I keep telling myself that we have a lot more to figure out before we have another kid, but holy shit. I want another baby.

3. My co-worker's daughter got married over the weekend. She hasn't stopped complaining about shit since she got here this morning. I think I might have to duck out of the office for our break.

1. My credit card is closed and I have no idea why. And I can't find out because DH is the primary cardholder. Fuckery on behalf of Chase! And I can't fix it, even though DH knows next to nothing about our finances. I HATE that. So much

2. this chilly weather can suck it. It seems so pointless to run the filter on the pool when it's not even in use. So let's warm up pronto, ok?

3. DH and I have a meeting tonight about our hopeful new house. EEEEEKKKK! I'm so excited and nervous

Am I confusing you with someone else, or have your co-workers been dicks to you?

That's good that you're excited about applying

I have two jobs. My main job is mostly okay, except for the upper level fuckery. I love my kids and I like the "ease" of it.

The second job has had much, much drama and an amazing amount of assholios. I am quitting this job as soon as the opportunity arises (December). But with that comes losing 1/3 of my income.

I went to a friend's gym yesterday to go to Zumba with her. It was my first male instructor and he really liked to rub his butt during his hip gyrations, lol. But it was a fun class and I'm sore today so it was a good workout.

Over Mem Day Weekend my mom and I were watching videos of Bill Hader's Stefon character on SNL. I guess DS was paying more attention than I thought b/c last night he asked us if we knew what a human kite was - which, according to Stefon, is tying a string to a midget in a windbreaker and running around the park. Luckily, DS mixed up midget with pigeon, so even if he tells this joke to others, it will make no sense. Whew.

DH is oot for work until Friday and I'm crossing my fingers that the kids are as good the rest of the week as they were this morning (DH normally does morning drop off). Otherwise, it could be a long-ass week.

-My Honors college director from college passed away this weekend :-(. The last time I saw her was at my wedding and I found an awesome picture I took with her. I still can't believe it.

-The lights are flickering at work.

-My wireless router went out this weekend and we have to use the modem and connect it to my H's laptop. I hope he is able to fix it today.

-I've had a $25 Bebe giftcard for a little over a year. They are freakin' expensive, so I've been waiting till the shirt I want goes on sell and they had free shipping. I just got everything for $22. Woo.

I actually do like it. I started out joining for professional reasons (my company covers membership, and the meetings are in our office during lunch, so I figured it couldn't hurt). I do think that I've made some improvement with how comfortable I am with public speaking.

1. I have an interview on Friday and as soon as I hung up the damned phone I was all "NOOOOOOOOO, I might be going to the zoo on Friday." Oh well.

2. I am also not a fan of WBBIIYY whatever whatever. If I didn't care, I wouldn't open the post.

3. I could not find any swimsuit tops this weekend! With a few people posting about this last week I am wondering if I already missed the boat.

you all, i went to a wedding this weekend, and it was FUN. but now that i'm back and sleep deprived, i'm feeling so unglam. one friend is off to greece for weeks. another on a european tour. a third just got back from argentina. someone else just argued before the goddamned u.s. supreme court. another just got tenure as a professor.

i'm all "uh, i go to work, i sometimes go to lower federal and state courts, and i just went on a trip to florida?"

1. Spent a nice day with my in-laws yesterday. I realize that I am blessed that my in-law family is awesome; I mean we all drive each other crazy from time to time, but there's nothing abnormal.

2. Got my rear-end out of bed this morning and went for a run. I need to do this regularly since I always feel so accomplished when I do.

I have a skype job interview on Wednesday. I've applied for too many teaching jobs to count and this is only the second time I've been e-mailed back for an interview. It's a bummer because this job isn't even a Spanish teacher job it's a "long call reserve teacher" but a requirement is that the person speaks Spanish. I guess i'd take the job if it's offered to me because it's full time with benefits and I need work...but I really just hope that I am able to find a full time (.75 or higher) Spanish teaching job.

BF and I got a kitty this week. She's pretty awesome. She's a 15 year old siamese/lynx mix and only weighs 4 lbs. I'm in love. She hates our dogs though.

And BF was offered a job over the weekend. They pay would be almost double what he's making now, but the hours are going to suck. Now he works M-F 7:00 - 5:00. With the new job he'd be likely to be working 3:00 - midnight and weekends.

1. My mom had to put our family dog down over the weekend. He was old and we all knew it was coming, but being 1,600 miles away and not being able to say good-bye sucked hard core. We got him after my parents got divorced when I was 12 and he really helped my sister, mom and I heal. Sigh.

2. We have to wait another month to start to TTC because my Dr. sucks and was OOT when my appointment was scheduled. Douche. I'm on meds that could seriously hurt a baby if I DO get pregnant, so I need to changes meds first.

3. I'm finally really busy at work and it feels really good.
