Can we do a good news post for Monday??

[farfalla2011]

I'm in a funk. And it is covering just about every aspect of my life right now. I know the problem is I've just been really busy, so I haven't really had any time to do fun stuff and I know the end is coming (vacation starts in 3 weeks!!)...but damn it, I'm impatient and I'm ready for the stress of the last couple months to end!

Let's hear them!

[dakotadangerdog]

I went for a run today and it was the fastest I've gone since I started running! I'm so pumped. The dog loved it too

[liubotflittyfud]

I started eating healthy today

[sharic]

I have a cooking class tonight (solo) and then one tomorrow night, which is also a wine-tasting class with a friend!

I also have 3 vacation days to use by June 30, which means a 4 day work-week this week, and a 3-day week next week:)

[hobs209]

I have so many lol. I think this is going to be a good week. I ran and went to yoga today, bought new running shorts that ended up being too big, and now I'm getting Chipotle for lunch! AND I have a few meetups this week that I'm super excited about. Oh and last one, I think I'm getting a tattoo on Saturday! Eeeek!

[farfalla2011]

I have one good news thing today...as long as BF doesn't get stuck working late. We are going to dinner out on the lake and then getting coffee afterwards

Also, I'm starting to look into some weekend getaways for us to hopefully do in a couple of weeks!

I'm moving in less than a month! The kitchen table I'm refinishing is turning out great and I have a date with a country boy tomorrow night

I'm so excited for you!! I couldn't imagine living with parents as long as you have. When I moved out of my house, I made it a whole week and a half before I signed the lease on my apartment...

I hope your country boy wears cowboy boots and doesn't disappoint! How exciting!

Great job! How long have you been running? Was it hard to get started? I've always wondered about it since I know people love it, I just can't seem to get into it....

Good for you! I started eating much healthier about 3 or so months ago. I will tell you, at first (especially if you aren't used to eating veggies) your stomach does some weird stuff lol. But, keep at it and you will start feeling so much better as you eat good stuff!

I've been slowly sharing the news that T and I are back together, pretty much everyone knows now but I hadn't told my mom yet. Apparently my sister didn't realize and mentioned it to her this morning (not a big deal). My mom just emailed me and said "Your sister told me that you and T are dating again? I'm really glad to hear that and hope that everything works out for the both of you this time. You know I've always liked him." This from someone who has never really said anything nice about anyone I've been with. So I'm relieved that it's all out there now, and that the responses have been very positive.

[starryfish]

I have a date this coming Saturday and I am super excited!

and no....its NOT the potential micro-peen guy or the trainer guy

I could totally use a couple short weeks! Enjoy your time off!!

Trying to come up with something really good is hard...

Umm.. I was able to get together the money for the unexpected lawyer bill without borrowing from anyone or having to pull it from my savings.

I'm heading to Vegas on Thursday!!!!!

Glad to hear that you got such good feedback from your mom! I hope things continue to work out with you guys!

What are you getting?

[Bernadine]

Xh was trying to manipulate me into doing something, but I figured out a way around it.

[udscoobychick]

The rest of the new bedding that I picked out for BF is on its way, and we made some more good progress on building his new bed.

3 weeks until our trip to Canada.

Later this week, I'm going to book a weekend getaway to Cancun for BF and I in September. Yay for traveling!

My friend's grandmother died a week ago and she made a point to set aside time to hang out with me because she feels safe talking to me about all of it and told me I'm her "person" for this stuff. That made me happy!

I am enjoying some vacation time from work, and it has been SO NICE!

I joined the gym today in our health network I work for and got a workout in and also have started tracking my eating on MyFitnessPal. I have not yet binged today, and it's the first day in almost two months that I can say that, so there's that.

I also put my social anxiety off to the side and called for my own auto and renter's insurance plans and go to sign paperwork for those tomorrow.

I am feeling proud of myself today because I actually set some goals and accomplished them instead of hiding out all day, which is what I have been doing. I can't wait to tell my therapist next week that I have made some progress on these things!

farfalla2011, I am unfortunately with you and in a total funk. I have a fever and wasn't allowed to stay at work since I am so sick but I have sooo much work to finish up before I leave for a work convention. I am seriously worried I won't get it all done.

I am so vacation deprived but I had finally planned two vacations for myself this summer - a hiking trip in Canada with a hiking trip and visiting my friend in LA. Both trips just fell through so now I have no vacay plans for yet another summer. I am so in need of a break but I don't know what solo trip to do.

My best friend could not handle me dating I guess because he just defriended me on FB and hasn't contacted me since I told him. I am fine with letting him go, just not fine with how he is behaving and treating me. I haven't called him out though, not sure it is worth it.

I think just being so sick is making everything ten times worse .

[imalwaysme79]

I really really like this new guy I'm seeing. I can't stop thinking about him, and find myself smiling even when I'm not talking to him.

A paw print. It benefits the rescue I (and ex) fostered for. That sounds like an awful reason to get one, but I was going to get a quote + a paw print, so I figured I'd just split them and start with the paw print to see how it goes.

So I did our taxes for the very first time solo in April of 2010 (tax year 2009) using Turbo Tax, and each year since then I've done the same. One tiny mistake on one line in 2009 rolls over to 2010, then to 2011, and I got a nice little letter a couple of months ago along the lines of "We'd like some clarification for these stock sales in 2010." Panic sets in and I call my attorney who gives me the name of a CPA. He redoes the taxes (I sign everything tomorrow) and it turns out I'm getting a five-digit refund between the multiple-years federal taxes and multiple-year state taxes. Yay, tax errors in my favor!

I heart this! I have 2 people that are "my persons" It's from Grey's and I love it and I may just turn into Christina - but add in a child - by connection she has 2 "persons" too, who will help her bury a dead body if she ever needs it

I swear, it almost made me cry to know that she wanted to make sure we had time to talk about it because she values my feedback! I have 3 people and they have gotten a few of the "we gotta hide the body" calls at 2 AM and stepped up to the plate!

That is very cool about the talk. I am about to ask one of mine to be a 4th in line in my POA/will to take DD in case of my demise to protect her even more. They have offered, especially after finding out about the abuse! I told them if they did anything they weren't allowed to tell me because the cops would come to me first, lol.
