Well, hay.

[gault]

Another work week, yeah?

Anyone have a case of the Monday's? Anyone have a case of the FUCK YOU EVERYONE HAS THE MONDAYS.


Any randoms or confessions to share?



Pup guy met the fam yesterday. Most of my boyfriends have trended towards the shy/socially awkward geek side, and he is not. Well, he's nerdy but also very social and easy to be around. So that made for a really good day. He grilled, we all chatted a lot, he heard waaaay too many stories about me and my brother. It was fun. I am really tired.

[cuddlyevil]

I'm actually being productive today, despite everything else going on.

My boss offered to let me go on the trip the New Orleans in her stead next week. I totally can't, but it would be awesome.

[dixienormous]

I have the Mondays in a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad way.

It's beautiful outside and I hate the fact that I'm stuck inside.

I'm in a bit of a funk. Mostly related to being tired.

[tiramisu]

Gault, I'm so excited for you and how well things seem to be going with puppy guy.

I do not have a case of the Mondays, only because I'm on vacation. Took a nice long walk to my old neighborhood, walked around, then came back through some of the places I used to spend time. It's a beautiful day and I'm working on learning to relax. I love it.

I just found out I have to have a colonoscopy. Old men get them not me! But I have to. Waaahhhhh. This has caused severe Monday syndrome.

River is still in a cone, we're going to the vet in a bit and hopefully we can take it off. River and I might kill each other if we can't.

It is finals week and I am going crazy.

It's not too bad captainmel. I had one a few years ago (along with an endoscopy, fun times) and the drink the night before is the worst part of the whole thing. Get your favorite powerade flavor, stay close to the bathroom. They give you more than enough happy drugs to coast through the actual procedure. Painless. You'll do fine

We bit the bullet and ordered our new kitchen cabinets last night. It pains me to spend money like that, but I'm so excited for how beautiful it's going to be. I found a crown molding that is awesome, and H agreed to my countertop change. It's going to be so nice when it's all done.

I actually got my a$$ out of bed and ran 6 miles at 6am this morning. Only to develop the most horrific headache this afternoon. Hello headache pills. I love you.

[captainmel]

That's pretty much what my doctor said gault and dixienormous. He asked if I wanted the cheapest prep drink or if I was willing to spend a little more. I told him I didn't care how much it cost I wanted the one that was most pallet able.

I've had an endoscopy and it wasn't too awful. I feel like this will be much worse.

[dixienormous]

I used an 8oz bottle of miralax in a pitcher full of gatorade. Not the most entertaining night of my life, but I did drop 3 pounds.

[starrieskies]

Confession: I locked myself in the spare bedroom to "box up stuff for the charity sale this weekend". H offered to help and I let him. I sat there and purged and boxed and sorted right under his nose... I feel a little bad about that, but we got a lot done!

All I have to do now is box up my stuff in the kitchen, go through the Christmas stuff and pull out the ornaments I need, and I'm pretty much done (aside from clothes). I can't really do those things until H leaves, so I'm on standby until then.

AND I have figured out how to get around the nosy neighbor issue too!

3 more bedtimes until H leaves for his camping trip!!!

[gault]

!!!!!! Starries, I'm so excited for you.

[captainmel]

starrieskies, that is soooooooooooooo exciting! I am so excited for you! This is so exciting! I have forgotten all words except exciting because this is so exciting!

[dixienormous]

starrieskies, this is such a HUGE thing! I'm so excited for you to start fresh!

[margarita]

gault, I am glad things are going well with the BF

captainmel, I have to agree that the night before is worse than the actual procedure. The drink is gross, and well, you're camped out for a while, obv, but the test/procedure itself isn't that bad. You'll do fine.

[motzie]

Also, I have a bag of kit kats in my drawer that I want to bust into, but I don't want them to disappear. I'm ok with sharing, but the whole bag will be gone in an hour if word gets out.

[starrieskies]

I'm excited for the future, but nervous about the next few weeks. I'm hoping that the dust will settle by then... At least the majority of it.

There was absolutely NOTHING over the weekend that made me want to reconsider my course. H insisted that we had to get supplies and food for his camping trip on Saturday. He spent over $200 without blinking and then told me that he still needed cash to take with him so he could pitch in on gas for his friends truck and parking. UGH! I WAS going to pay bills with that $200, but sure, have one last hurrah. no problem. enjoy.

I am so sick of pbs lately, every time I click post - it takes me to an error screen and I lose my entire post. GrararararRRRRRRRRAwr. 

[neonpink]

Starrie, I am so excited for you!

Gault that sounds like a lot of fun.

I have been gone on meetings for getting back to the office at 2. Now I don't really want to do anything.

[cuddlyevil]

I am leaving in about 10 minutes or so for my therapy appointment, then home to confront the stupid man I live with. I need any and all vibes, prayers, good thoughts, mojo, or whatever you guys can spare because it's going to suck ass.

[dixienormous]

good luck, cuddlyevil. Don't let him try to turn it around on you and don't let him get away with ANYTHING. You CAN do this.

[bowies]

I forgot to bring a fork with my lunch today so used a couple of penis straws as chopsticks. Thank God no one saw me because I'm pretty sure I would be sitting in HR right now.

[motzie]

cuddlyevil Give him hell. If I were you I would seriously rage. **Like foot stomping, screaming, swearing, mothereffer this, mothereffer that. You deserve it. It will be soul cleansing for you.

**Assuming, of course, the kids are not around.

Seriously though. Good luck. You deserve way better than this. Your kids deserve way better than this. You will be better off moving forward without him. You can do this.

[neonpink]

Vibes to you Cuddlyevil. You can do this!

Hugs and strength cuddlyevil! Give him the full might of TIP straight up his lazy ass.
